Elle2’s Season 5 Wrap Up
Kripke’s Love Letter; Swan Song – by Elle2 Someone wrote [BuddyTV perhaps] that In The Beginning was a love letter from Eric Kripke to the fans. Not fully understanding the concept I couldn’t decide if I agreed or not, now having watched Swan Song, I get it; Swan Song is Eric’s love letter to the…
“The End.” The episode that answers the burning question, what if you held an apocalypse in Kansas City and no one came? Let’s get started. Then: A whole freaking lot. Now: The Impala! That’s a perfect way to open an episode. Dean pulls up, parks in front of a meter and doesn’t put change in….
Ode to Ellen and Jo It started with a message left on John’s old phone. One of his possessions, the boys now kept for their own. The message was from an Ellen, who wanted John to call Telling him not to be stubborn, that she could help after all. Sam found the address of where…
“Hammer of the Gods” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Poor cop–I wonder what he was doing there, anyway? Weird goings-on to investigate? Why didn’t any of his fellow officers follow up? Why did the tulip come back to life? Why do gods eat people, anyway? That’s not nice! The gods fight like children, are…
Warning, this is a really long one. In the past when recaps have gotten this long I’ve broken it up into two parts. This time I didn’t do that. So, I’m hoping this will be killing some uber time at work for you. Enjoy! —————————————————————— Okay, I’ve taken enough recovery time after several days of…
I’m very proud to announce that Elle has offered to step in and do the episode reviews until elle2 returns. She sent me her first one for “Free To Be You and Me.” I’m thrilled with her point of view, so enjoy and tell elle what you think. Thoughts on “Free to Be You and…
First, I want to let you know if there is a page 2 it comes up blank on my computer.
Secondly, I missed the reports what was revealed at Rising Con that explained what went wrong with Swap Meat.
Elle2 that was a nice read and I do agree 100% with each one of your choices.
Let me just add one more moment:
“The most revolting scene”
When pestilence sneezed on the guy in the store”
LindaH here is the link of the vid for the reveal at the Rising Con http://www.youtube.com/user/SamysWitch#p/u/6/yb2iDt7s7SE
Yirabah, thanks for that link.
Hi Elle2
I loved your picks, I had some to add.
Best returning Character:
I loved seeing Ash again but I also loved Crowley.
Best Castiel Lines:
I also liked in The End when Castiel zaps Dean to him, saving Dean from Zacks wrath ‘We had an appointmentâ€.
Episode that provoked tears so much:
For me it was Abandon all hope and I still haven’t been able to re-watch since it originally aired.
Thanks Elle2 this was fun.
Hi, Linda, Yirabah and Karen,
Linda, first off, I’m so glad Yirabah was quicker to the site than me and provided the link (also, I wouldn’t have been too good at providing the link so double kudos to you Yirabah 🙂
Oh, Yirabah, you are so right about the whole Pestilence scene…yeesh, I couldn’t watch it it was so gross!!! So I hid behind my fingers and peeked…it was still so gross!
Karen, you’re right with your additions…there is something so…Cas about how he saved Dean in The End.
And as for tears…yeah, Swan Song killed me the first go round so I avoided it but with the blessings of a sixth season soon to come and the fun of the speculation of what will be it doesn’t ‘kill’ me like it first did. Abandon All Hope with Ellen and Jo still kills me, I’m better when I watch it in that I’m not wrecked after like I first was but still…and then Ash’s awesome follow up on their death in DSOTM…good stuff.
Glad you had fun and enjoyed the light article.
🙂
YEH!! ASH!!! Caplocks cannot fully express my fangirly joy! 😀 😀 😀
Spit coffee on the keyboard moments … ” They ate my tailor/ Shall I honk?” Plus anything to do with Cas and his mobile 😆
Pestilence = Total yukfest!
You’re all going to hate me for this but I thoroughly enjoyed Abandon All Hope as I’ve been fantasising about a messy death for Jo ever since she first appeared. 😈
Right, off to poison some orphans …
Suze,
you are too funny…what is your poison of choice???
Like Ruby (the 4th season Ruby that is) I was so glad to see her skewered by Dean with Sam giving the able and necessary assist by basically throwing her into the knife…beautiful. DIE DEMON DIE in caplocks barely expressed my joy. Have your enjoyment of Jo’s messy death…Alona served it up beautifully (and believably)
There were so many spit coffee on keyboard moments anything with drunken Cas and cellphone Cas fit those as well as many a Zach comment and Crowley has swiftly moved up the chain with his quick tongue (the one that talks, not the CRD sealing a deal tongue…minds out of the gutters everyone, especially you, Suze, as there have been no zombie ‘gator sightings of late.
Thanks for the comment..glad you had fun with the article.
No. 1 son’s Anchovie Surprise Cookies are fairly lethal, they nearly finished off his Grandma, at any rate …
As for Alona, nothing in life became her so well as the leaving of it … Way to go, girl!
Crowley is a total joy, for both his snark and his snogging of all and sundry. ‘Gator-wise, I’m still ever hopeful … Who knows what delights S6 may bring our way! 😉
The Dabb/Loflin penned episodes used to make me cringe. I couldn’t stand to watch them. But after Dark Side Of The Moon they truly are my heros. That episode was an amazing masterpiece, worthy of whatever awards we can give them for it.
Not only did it have it’s comic spurts and great one-liners – Hey Dean, I Wuv Hugs too 😉 – but it portrayed Heaven as I thought a television series should. It was moving and heartbreaking when it should have been (Dean and Young Sam with the fireworks at the beginning – I could do a whole schpeal on Colin Ford and how anazing that kid is) brings me to tears just thinking about it.
This is the episode that brought us Ash back. If nothing else, this would have done it for me. I have such a crush on that mullet genius I don’t even know where to begin.
And we get to see Zachariah for the worthless, craptastic angel of horror he is.
If the whole next season could be alternately written by Dabb/Loflin and Ben Edlund I’d be pleased.
