heidi | Well, hellooooooo SHOW! (Reply)

1. Whoever decided to do lots of close-ups? Is a very, very smart person because everyone looked so so pretty!

2. Um, I think I forgot everything else because of the prettiness.

: rewatches portions

3. OH YEAH! PLOT! Mytharc plottiness! And evil!Angels, hurrah! I can't say I am shocked that there are evil angels out there, but it was actually fascinating the way that they wove it into the story.

4. I am also not surprised that John did not break - and I would think they didn't tell Dean while he was in hell because it would have given him impetus to resist, and I do think it likely that they put more pressure on Dean than they had on John because they knew the angels were making their way towards him - although I do wonder why the angels didn't go in after John but did go after Dean but perhaps it was because they didn't know that was her plan for John? Ah, it's all a wonderful gordian knot.

5. Yes, I do now see the homoerotic tension between Dean and Castiel. Misha, I finally truly understand what you were talking about in Jersey. There will, I predict, be many, many questions about this over this coming weekend!

6. And Show has also made it as explicit as they could exactly what some of the (rape) torture that Alisdair forced onto Dean.
