What did I watch?

THE SCRIPT
The script was dense and perhaps the dialogue ran a little long.
It combined the new with the old in more ways than one.
There were some jaw dropping revelations (God's Sister, visions from the Cage, Amara's escape, and
interaction with Dean) but a lot of loose ends were tied up, too.
(The Demon Tablet, and Len, the candy wrapper, is dead)
There were plot parallels and motifs and an overall theme
stressing reining it in, being merciful, and the angst of parenting a teen who is moving on.
The tug of war between giving a child independence while keeping
them safe is beautifully encapsulated in Crowley's speech.

There was also some serious commentary about escaping reality buried in the script.

The sets/ props/ editing/ montages/ were amazing.

Finding the Sweet Spot

BIG REVEAL: THE CAGE

ALLUSION/ PARALLELS




"The truth would make the Bible Thumpers' heads explode."

MOTIFS/SYMBOLS
There were lots of little boom and echoes: cats, and tablets.
Some imagery is becoming standard for Season 11: Traditional Feminine
images of flowers, Persian rugs, mirrors, etc.


Mirrors

Hands
Close ups of hands kept appearing in pivotal moments.

(Some gifs truly spoil the effect. ROTFL.)
Can you tell the character and the moment by these HAND close-ups?

CUTS/EDITS
Although the dialogue dragged in the first half, the
second half with its increasing CROSS-CUTTING
between all the characters and their dilemmas speeded up the episode.
This was masterfully done and often linked tidbits of dialogue.

Meticulous editing of multiple camera angles.




DISSOLVE

SLO MO The Final Montage:
Beautiful and with a great suitable song.
Worth a re-watch here:

Two in a row! Excuse me while I enjoy this lurching leap into the future.

BEST PERFORMANCE

REARVIEW

There were a lot of past episodes alluded to in this episode.
Starting with Castiel's montage of out of control rages. 8.17 "Goodbye Stranger," 10.22 "The Prisoner" and more recent
episodes in Season 11. Most recognized the "Changing Channels" wallpaper.
How could we forget? But, there were more references to past episodes in the dialogue.

Comments
Possibly nothing - but the photos of the stairs in the asylum are all taken downwards could this be a suggestion as to the way Sam & Dean need to go ? (or just the best photo angle)
I like the comparrison betwee God of light, godess of darkness ect. And Dean the father ???? I am glad someone else thinks this to be a possibility MAYBE. Amara doesn't know obviously ?? I really like Samantha as teen Amara I hope she is around for a few more episodes. A great young actress & she plays Amara well. I think Amara is more a under the rader evil. You know she is nasty, strong and powerfull but Samantha plays her in a more conniving ?? way. I like that keeps you guessing.
But, each director is given some freedom for special colour choices to emphasize a particular theme.
The colour choices are not always consistent season to season, or even episode to episode.
However, in this season, the hits of Yellow seem to be consistently pointing out deception and disguise.
In this episode Metatron is seen by a yellow parking post and yellow lines.
The door to Crowley’s topside hell has a hit of yellow graffiti to indicate that this is a fraud or deception.
Also, Amara’s burgundy rose colour has been consistently used so far this Season.
I have been noticing stair way shots in the episodes, too!!! ???
I never commented in my article but Amara was creeping me out with her, “I KNEW YOU WOULD COME.”
comment as she was filing her nails. I wonder how she knew, or if she was pulling him to her.
Dean seemed more concerned with getting revenge on Crowley and finding her, rather than killing her,
as Sam pointed out prior to their going to the asylum. Dean seems unaware that he is drawn to her and why.
Some fans were “icked out” by their scene as they interpreted it as a sexual bond. But, I did not see that at all.
I also saw a nasty comment to Samantha on her twitter page, for Nov. 11.
If you get a chance please like her tweet: “How is everyone liking Amara?” to offset the negativity of one fan.:(

Thank you for reading and sharing your insights.
I did pick up on the theme of darkness/ moonlight connected to Amara that you pointed out in Thin Lizzie. In this episode when Dean is telling Sam they need to go after Amara he is standing in front of a picture of dark sky/ moon. This seems to emphasize his connection to Amara/ Darkness.
I noted that this season the art department has settled on YELLOW for deceit and disguise.
And the other directors seem to be following suit. Each episode has some unique choices made, too.
I look for a colour that may not have been emphasized yet. This episode was easy.
Orange was everywhere. Then, I consider what the commonality is between all the scenes incorporating that colour choice.
As noted, directors are free to choose a colour to enhance a theme and here it was the ability, or inability, to give in to their
anger, bloodlust. I provide boards with pictures to explain the interpretation. Of course, it is an interpretation.
As the article is, my perception of what I "watched." I am totally into colour usage and find it fascinating.
The moon is considered a traditional symbol for the feminine.
Very Pagan but also Greek/Roman Myth (Artemis/Diana) The moon was used to chart menstrual cycles.
In fact most cultures used a Moon calendar instead of a Sun one. So, I am not surprised at all by the Moon's emphasis.
I like "darkening" of the burgundy/rose as noted by BoGirle. Thank you for reading.
The second stain glass window... is it Cain and Abel?
References to earlier episodes. We're going to a version of the Endverse..
. Yes.
I think the big Sex scene is the missing initial Darkness scene that Dean still has not opened up about.
I did find it strange that Amara does not seem to know why they have a connection either and she is of the opinion she "has no parents."
Her mom must be keeping her in the dark about it. ;)
Alycat I have seen you say that you would find this disappointing before - Would you mind giving me your reason as to why. Just so I can understand where your thoughts are. Is it just as stated above or do you think it will somehow take away something from the show you love ( We all Love ) Thanks Jenny
It makes more sense - to me, but what do I know? ;) - that she had to use the child who was being born at the same time and nearest to her when she was freed. I can see her needing to manifest as a human in order to access our plane of existence, possibly because it was God's creation?
I'm not sure I'm even seeing sex between Dean and Amara in the storyline at all. I don't see where it's needed with the direction everything seems to be going so far. I keep thinking that in spite of what young Amara believes that once she grows in strength and adulthood that at that point Adult Amara/The Darkness will want to join Dean but as I said, in a less sexy, more in the Dark Charlie/GoodCha rlie way - in order to take on God. Remember both older and younger Amara have indicated they are interested in taking Him on. Or maybe she wants to get her bounding on cause Dean is just that damned sexy! ;). It does seem as the stronger Amara becomes on the Earth plane the stronger her hold over Dean grows. Maybe by the time she is Adult Amara he wont be able to resist her at all.
I have no idea where this is going and that's what's so damned exciting about it but what I do know? Please no "Dean, you ARE the father!"
Loving this season Hellatus is going to be very lonnnnnnnng particular now we have a description for O Brother where ou Thou. THANK YOU for giving your reasons behind your hope for no Dean daddy it does make sense
No seriously, what does it mean. ;)
