Supernatural: 3x09: Malleus Maleficarum

[certainthings]

I'm beyond tired. I'm beyond scared. I'm standing on the mouth of hell, and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it'll choke on me. We're not ready? They're not ready. They think we're gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I'm done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Oh, we'll give 'em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now. 'Cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on, we won't just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them, and cut out their hearts one by one, until The First shows itself for what it really is. And I'll kill it myself. There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil, and that's us.

Raise your hand if you thought, "Well, she's dead." as soon as you saw the first chick?

Guy: *eats*
Me: Oh, sure. He gets to eat. Fucker.

- later -

Sam: *gags while looking at rotting food*
Me: *thinking* Don't you fucking DARE say anything like, 'I'm never eating again.'

I sort of kind of maybe like Ruby now.

I'm fairly certain that all the interior car talks were filmed at the same time because as of late they've all looked EXACTLY the same. Same lighting, same facial expressions, same tones of voices, etc. etc.

I don't believe Ruby when she says that there's no way to get Dean out of the deal. There's always a way - Buffy taught me that.

Or maybe Dean goes to hell and Sam and Ruby get engaged and oh, Sam can't get married without his best man there, whatever shall they do? Then Ruby goes to talk to people and 'C'mon, we just want Dean for a couple of hours then we'll bring him back. Swear.' And then they spring him and the three of them escape to Aruba.

Dean looks good smeared in blood, it should happen more often.

I enjoyed all the touching between Sam and Dean.

I liked that they brought up that Dean was worried about how Sam's been acting and that Sam actually gave a reason why and didn't just 'Whatever, Dean. Why do you even care?' it.

Yeah, so I totally walked in with low expectations and uh, I enjoyed the ep quite a bit.

I kinda like Ruby now too. Now that I don't has to worry about her.

*hugs show*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I liked that there was some life and passion and fire in her speech - in the way she talked. She wasn't all ... twink like.

[quidditchkiss.livejournal.com]

I don't believe Ruby when she says that there's no way to get Dean out of the deal. There's always away - Buffy taught me that.
Buffy's my show, man. Will always be my favorite show. If she can be brought back from the dead, Dean can get out of his deal.

I really enjoyed this episode, especially the abundance of information.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Buffy is was and will always be the best show that ever showed. Ever. *solemn nod*

And yes. I mean for one - the show wouldn't really be able to go on without Sam AND Dean. They're kind of a big packaged deal.

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

HAH, YOU SAW BUFFY TOO? LOL.

Uh, yeah. Ruby.

No, see, the car shots? You can tell they're different, because Sam's hair has gotten exponentially WORSE. Wtf? How can Jared get hotter while Sam gets... dorkier?

YES. SO MUCH TOUCHING.

I think Ruby is Lucy/Luke, and Lucy/Luke's a liar and NOT in the sky with diamonds, and now Lucy/Luke (Bela's client) has BOTH brothers EXACTLY where he/she wants them.

There are reasons I don't "do" meta.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I pretty much always see Buffy or Angel in Supernatural. I was also thinking of -

You called me a rank, arrogant amateur. Well buckle up, Rupert...'Cause I've turned pro.

Hmm, I dunno. I kind of like Sam's hair.

Oh, I kind of like that theory there.

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Damn you. You're quoting Buffy, and that seriously was running through my head during this episode. Because there is a way out of the deal. Demons lie, remember, Dean?

Ruby is TOTALLY up to no good; I don't care if she was a former human-turned-demon. I liked her in this episode. She's got potential, I think.

[quidditchkiss.livejournal.com]

*butts in... for a second*

Demons lie, remember, Dean?
It's just like House says, "Everybody lies." And while I like Ruby and see her potential as well, I still have to keep her on the back burner. For a bit longer anyway.

[douxquemiel.livejournal.com]

You READ MY MIND. GET OUT OF MY BRAIN, SMIDGE.

1. I don't believe Ruby AT ALL. She can totally get him out of the deal. *nodnodnodnodNODNODNOD*

2. Boytouching approved.

3. Almost-girltouching? Also approved.
3a. Girlfighting? Definitely approved.

4. SAM GAVE A LEGIT ANSWER. And it's actually... real. I love it. LOVE IT.

5. Ruby is amazing and awesome and I love her so, so, so much.


This ep was awesome. I had no idea what was coming, and HOLY SHIT, win. WIN WIN WIN. *snuggles show*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't know if Ruby herself can get him out of the deal but I believe that she knows ways or a way that will do it.

When chick and Ruby were fighting and then there was the pause and chick saying along the lines of "Oh, she didn't tell you?" I thought she was going to continue with "Yeah, we used to be lovers."

Sam giving a real honest answer like that kind of blew my mind.

[wistful-fever.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Buffy... I really want the centuries in hell to be time-warped like BTVS, and, with the hopes we get a fourth season, for next season to be about how Dean CLAWS his way from the pit and is evil and hot and creepy and THE ONLY THING THEY DIDN'T BURN OUT OF HIM WAS SAMMY. Now, wouldn't that just be something? ::sighs wistfully::

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That would be kind of really wicked.

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

I sort of kind of maybe like Ruby now. oh oh oh! i do! i do too!

and

Dean looks good smeared in blood, it should happen more often.

I enjoyed all the touching between Sam and Dean.
yes. yes yes yes and yes

*cookies*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

!!! *saves cookies for breakfast*

[memphis86.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

Dean is Buffy and Dawn is the KEY! (Tammy and Ruby are evil!Willow and Tara?!) I mean, I'm just waiting for Dean to be able to say "Hey, I've died twice."

♥

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. *waits with you*

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

There's tooootally a way out of it. Ruby's either wrong or lying. I kinda hope she's lying, 'cause it would be interesting ... there could still be an ulterior motive there.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Maybe she wants Dean to give up completely, maybe his hope - because deep down he's hoping like hell (no pun intended) that Sam (and Bobby) will find something and perhaps Dean's hope will lead to some sort of faith and that in their eyes (their being demons) is as good as weaseling his way out.

[uglyduckling-me.livejournal.com]

omg you are TOTALLY right. about everything. as usual.
and that monologue is one of my most favorites ever.

also? my 14 year old fangirl heart wants so badly for Buffy or Spike or even Xander to pop into the boys lives and be like "oh, yeah...I dealt with this crap before. All you need is a blah-blah-blah and chant this on the full moon. Just make sure the herbs are fresh or you'll end up summoning this demon that makes you burst into song and dance..." (which would be pretty awesome, in my opinion)

had to add that Buffy is always gonna be my favoritest show til the end of time. nothing can take it's place, though this show comes in at a VERY close second.

[emerald-nebula.livejournal.com]

Dean looks good smeared in blood, it should happen more often.

Yes please! He should definitely be mortally wounded all the time and I'm a sick bastard aren't I?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't think so - both boys look exceptionally better when they're hurt and bloody.

[resounding-echo.livejournal.com]

Your Buffy quote makes me happy. I love that episode. And Buffy is totally my ego-ideal. :nods:

I've loved Ruby, but now I loveRuby. I'm excited for what they'll do with her.

And yes, even if Ruby doesn't think there is a way, the boys will find one. They just have to kill Sandy-Demon's boss.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They just have to kill Sandy-Demon's boss.

Easy peasy.

[apostrophee.livejournal.com]

There's always a way - Buffy taught me that

I like to have that motto in my head on a running loop. It helps during exams or working the register.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's a good motto.

[angieb5.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

There's always a way - Buffy taught me that.
Rock on.

Also, I totally thought of you when I saw that bit with Sam gagging. Just think of it this way, he has to eat some time, and although we went a whole season without him driving, eventually this season it happened. I'll cross my fingers for you. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It'll probably happen like this. Dean goes to hell. Sam sighs. "Finally, I can eat in peace now." Then he goes back to a motel room and order Chinese and pizza and maybe something else and binges like a pro.

[annemiek81.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR RUBY! :)

Or maybe Dean goes to hell and Sam and Ruby get engaged and oh, Sam can't get married without his best man there, whatever shall they do? Then Ruby goes to talk to people and 'C'mon, we just want Dean for a couple of hours then we'll bring him back. Swear.' And then they spring him and the three of them escape to Aruba.

LMAO! yep Aruba would be the right place, lots of things happen unnoticed there....

I WANT MORE EPS NOW!!

[miss-mandy.livejournal.com]

I love that quote so much. Sometimes I take out my Season 7 dvds and just watch that scene.

Also, for awhile I had a picture of Buffy with that last line written on it hanging on my wall. Cause I'm a huge nerd.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It is such a good quote. I just ... I love BtVS. So freaking much.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

I recognized the Buffy quote, yay *is proud of self*

Ruby is awesome. And very pretty. As are the boys. Didn't exactly love this episode but it had its moments.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Why did you not love it? I mean, I didn't love it either but were there certain parts are reasons for your lack of love?

[alazysod.livejournal.com]

Or maybe Dean goes to hell and Sam and Ruby get engaged and oh, Sam can't get married without his best man there, whatever shall they do? Then Ruby goes to talk to people and 'C'mon, we just want Dean for a couple of hours then we'll bring him back. Swear.' And then they spring him and the three of them escape to Aruba.
Best. Threesome fic. Ever.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They'd start off all hot and heavy and then after a couple months of marriage Ruby would be washing the dishes muttering to herself, slamming the dishes into the rack. Dean and Sam would be sitting at the kitchen table, Dean would raise his eyebrows his facial expression saying, 'What's the matter with her.' Sam would mouth back, 'I have no idea.' Then out loud he'd ask, 'Sweetie? What's wrong?' Ruby would snip, 'Gee, I don't know, I was just wondering who the married couple around here was because I'm fairly sure that I remember US getting married but I'm beginning to think that maybe I was mistaken what with how you two are always going off and doing god knows what together when I'm stuck here keeping house! I'm a God damn, demon, Sam! Not a fucking housewife!'

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

I think that even if she was telling "the truth" it is a possibility that there's some way to save Dean that she knows jack shit about.

I enjoyed Dean leading Sam out of the house at the end there. Right back to his role herding the little brother because, let's face it, when shit like this goes down Sam's brain tends to check out and Dean's left to be the alert one.

Compared to the last Episode o' Exposition (Sin City) this ep wasn't so bad.

My biggest problem? I started to kinda like Ruby when it came out that she used to be human but I really hate the idea that every damn demon used to be human. I call bullshit.

[pie_andcoffee]

i'm glad i have a very smart flist. it's awesome to see validation for my batshit insane squee-induced mental ramblings - maybe not so crazy after all.

[cookiemonsta.livejournal.com]

I've got a theory, that's it's a demon. A dancing demon, neh, something isn't right there.

In other words, this:

Or maybe Dean goes to hell and Sam and Ruby get engaged and oh, Sam can't get married without his best man there, whatever shall they do? Then Ruby goes to talk to people and 'C'mon, we just want Dean for a couple of hours then we'll bring him back. Swear.' And then they spring him and the three of them escape to Aruba.

is how it should be.
Awesome as usual, Smidge.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahahah.

Dude! It's BUNNIES!!! The dead one that Dean bumped into was like a suicide bomber.

*raises hand*

I'm fairly certain that all the interior car talks were filmed at the same time because as of late they've all looked EXACTLY the same.

I'm thinking the same thing. I want some variety in my car scenes plzkthnx.

I don't believe Ruby when she says that there's no way to get Dean out of the deal.

Me neither. *high 5*

Boy!touching FTW!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Exactly exactly the same! Exactly!
