Supernatural 4x08 Wishful Thinking

Buffy: Believe it or not, Jonathan, I understand about the pain.
Jonathan: Oh right. Cuz the burden of being beautiful and athletic, that's a crippler.
Buffy: You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle. And it's not just mine. Every single person down there is ignoring your pain because they're too busy with their own.

Anyanka: You trusting fool! How do you know the other world is any better than this?
Giles: Because it has to be.

- So I kind of loved the little girl. Her delivery on "See what I mean?" was freaking fantastic.

- It is nice to know that "Run Forrest, run." will never ever get old.

- Where do I know the little boy from? The one that was bullied and then turned into Super Bully? Tells me!

- I think Jared and the girl who played Hope spent some time together in his trailer ... No, I don't. [pause] Maybe I do.

- I really hope that Dean does talk about his Adventures In Hell because I'm really curious about what was so damn horrific. Really very.

- I really liked that the ep was all bright and pretty and there was daylight and and so many beautiful scenes.

- Sam drove! Maybe before the season ends we'll get to see him eat again. And I still want to see him eating while driving. Can we please get a petition going for that? :p

I really, really wanted Dean to tell Sam that part of the reason he wouldn't talk about Hell was because he didn't want to give Sammy nightmares too. (i.e. didn't want Sam to know how awful it was.)

I loved 90% of the ep, but I was kind of sad that Dean remembers Hell, and that he seemed to be so... annoyed with Sam for caring. C'mon, Dean, it's Sam -- for one thing, are you surprised? And two, couldn't you have been a little more gentle with him -- particularly in light of the fact that he must feel incredibly guilty, and even more so especially now?

And I want to see what SAM is thinking, dammit. GAH. In that last scene, I so wanted more than just his troubled expression.

Okay, I'm done now.

(Really. I loved all of the rest of it a lot.)

Yes, that.

and that he seemed to be so... annoyed with Sam for caring.

Mmhmm. It'd be a good time for Dracula to swoop him and coldcock him.

And I want to see what SAM is thinking, dammit.

Yeah, that really is wishful thinking because we're not allowed to know anything about Sam and his thoughts or feelings.

LOL. I'm so glad I didn't annoy you with my ranting. I didn't mean to rant! It just... that last two minutes! GRAR! Stupid Dean! Stop acting like Sam can't possibly ever understand anything and that he doesn't have feelings of his own (well, according to Show I suppose he doesn't) and that he should just shut up and stop trying to get you to let some of that inner pain out. You're still treating him like a child...

And, really, Dean will tell complete strangers about how he's feeling, but not, and never, Sam? Drives me nuts. He's acting like Sam hasn't suffered at all, and like he doesn't care that Sam might have suffered while he was dead -- and it was his own selfish fault -- and that feels OOC to me. Dean is, first and foremost, a protector, particularly when it comes to Sam, yet that's not the impression I got from those last two minutes.

*hides face* I'm so sorry I ranted at you again.

Nah, don't be sorry. I like the rants.

Heh. I just don't want anyone to think I'm being down on the episode. For the most part I thought it was brilliant and all kinds of awesome.

It is kind of uncanny how many Buffy quotes apply to SPN, isn't it?

For every episode there is a quote.
