Supernatural 13x18 Full Reaction!

Not too many sniffles, so that’s a win. I hear you on dealing with the last of the cold. Mild strain though I got over three years ago now, it wasn’t fun dealing with the lingering covid. Recall you went through much the same not long after, and we both sort of commiserated about it. Fun times, yes? Dean and Ketch makes for a dismal partnership. I got so snippy when Ketch was trying to talk about working together and all that, and how Dean should ease up on the hostility. More specifically, I was deadpanning, “I’m sorry, you’re expecting that Dean’s going to jump at the opportunity to braid your hair during the weekend sleepover?” Unfortunately, you’re inclined to agree with Ketch about the bit of backup not being bad, whereas I said, “If it’s you? Yes.” Then again, you quickly add that you don’t like it, so it works out well. Love how I caught Charlie by the hair that you could see. You only realized when we saw Felicia back. ADORE the reaction to our dear Charlie being back. Alas, Ketch, psycho though he is, he’s not unintelligent, and clocks that Charlie is the little sister to the boys. Leads to the talk whilst Dean recovers. Speaking of that, to Ketch’s limited credit, he does good work with helping Dean with that. We both had to fight against the emotions that came from Dean talking about how that asshole Singer decided to, er, uh, I mean, how he says he failed to save Charlie. Leads to Ketch commiserating, highlighting those he didn’t try to save. As Dean says, he does suck, me, I told Ketch, “How nice for you.” They get Charlie back, because of course they did. We are NOT DOING THAT FUCKING LILLIAN HELLMAN HORSESHIT AGAIN!!! We do both hope that Dean told Charlie about Ketch so she keeps her guard up. Ketch having what the writers want to be a redemption arc. Fuck THAT. You say about trusting it, making me quote Crowley, “Oh, good God. Don’t Never trust anyone.” Lucy’s dealing with more annoying times than when he worked for Jackie Treehorn. He could set up a Yahweh email for the prayers if that helps. Anael is shocked, SHOCKED that Lucy lied. The big man’s propaganda DOES call him the Prince of Lies; this is really THAT surprising? Granted, Lucy rarely lies in this show. He bullshits a lot, but rarely lies. Shows how off his game he is. Then there is Gabriel. You’ve mentioned Fred Burkle before, and you doing so again had me pause, “Who is that again?”. Buffy stuff that I’m behind on. They see the writing on the wall which tells us where Gabriel was for a while. Man spent a lot of time in Monte Carlo shacking up with porn stars. Because, according to the writers of this, that’s what anyone would do. The writers, I swear, there is, something is WRONG with their brains. I yelled that when watching this, and now I love your own nonplussed reaction to that revelation, and how you say that you don’t know that you would have done that. Do love Sam attempting to reach Gabriel by saying they had the shared, “JUST when I thought I was out, they pull me BACK IN.” thing in life. We both differ with Sam’s one approach. Namely, when Sam notes that he gets it as hookers in Monte Carlo sounds great, making me reply, “No. No, it doesn’t.” Love your own silent response there. And Gabriel corrects Sam by saying that they were porn stars, not hookers, we both had similar responses, I personally said, “THAT’S the one thing you wish to contribute to the proceedings?” Tips off Asmodeus who gives Sam a call. I assume his number was in Crowley’s brown book that was left behind. He makes his big move which then fails as Gabriel got his razzle bedazzle back. Fried Asmodeus good. Original Recipe style from the looks of it. Love the light applause you had there. Seeing, as you know, I am quite keen on villains, you don’t need to apologies. Especially as we do share what appears to be the consensus view of Asmodeus being weak. He’s like a disturbing percentage of the MCU villains where he’s just not given adequate writing/focus. He also pulls me out of it when we see him here playing with his balls, and you expect him to say, “Have any of you gentlemen an explanation for the quart of missing strawberries?” at any moment. Shame about Gabriel bedazzling the fuck out, as you put it. Knew your reaction to Dean’s return would be about what it was. Great reaction, Jess, thank you.
