Supernatural 13x17 Full Reaction!

Rather dark one this week to follow the Scooby festivities. See, you went with Doctor Who, and my mind went straight to Cthulhu. The boys stumble on the plot to get more ingredients. This after Dean acts like a five-year-old. We both called out Dean for the childish prank asking how old he is. And what the hell is it with Sam getting shit for ordering water and getting called “Bean pole”, what’s up with that? Such a judgy waitress. I am with Dean about kale. kale is disgusting. I also do concur with Dean about what cars should look like. They come across Yokoth wearing the poor girl’s skin. We had a similar level of caution. Some of it we were willing to write off as severe trauma, yet we observed similarly that the writing was on the weaker side if that’s what was intended. Can see how you’d project your claustrophobia onto this and smell something rotten in the state of Denmark. Share the assessment there was enough question that it could go either way, and you were waiting to see how it’d play out. Turns out that there is no Sandy, only Yokoth. Meaning that the two men of letters’ grandad got a poor innocent girl killed in a rather horrific manner, and it’s glossed over. No, not going to address that? Jesus, the writers are fucked in the head. I also yelled at them for blaming Sam for Yokoth getting loose when it’s their own goddamn security that was extremely lax. Making me say, “I have two words for you people, “Warning signs”, invest.” Dean is offered as sacrifice. I mean Dean’s into Hentai, so this isn’t really a bad deal for him. Sam arrived when you summoned him so it’s good. Your comments on the tentacles being snake adjacent, again, Cthulhu, so that’s expected. Brings us to the villains. We enjoy Ketch’s suffering with being given the magazine. I teased, “Ah, you found the teacup. Oh! And the banana!” We both had VISCERAL reactions to the needles, in my case, yelling, “GODDAMN IT!! SON OF A BITCH!!!” You say that you’re far from impressed with Asmodeus. From what I’ve been hearing, the fandom’s not all that much thrilled about Asmodeus either. Preface by saying that my standards are high, villainy-wise, but he’s not been killing it for me either, so I’m in agreement with you on this one, Jess. He complains about his suit, which is what happens when you wear white after Labor Day. (Or, well, I guess now it’s before Labor Day as it’s now the new year, but the point still stands.) He’s also a COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT with leaving Ketch and Gabriel and the blade unguarded. This after he beat the shit out of Ketch, which we both found lovely to see, and how he twists the knife in talking about redemption is an impossibility, a feeling that I know only too well. I’d have shot back at Asmodeus by saying, “If you were expecting that to be some sort of Earth-shattering revelation, then I’m sorry to disappoint you by informing you that you’re not telling me anything that I don’t already know.” Ketch gets Gabriel out, heads over to the bunker, and yeah, you note Dean’s right about no other options. I still don’t like Ketch. Evidence of this is Mom putting on one of those damn Hallmark movies that he’s in, and I want to crush his head every time I see him. (Makes Dean’s Hallmark remark an amusing bit of timing.) Ketch is SO not getting the top bunk. Dean being the protective big brother, setting aside Sam’s very apparent frustration at the curse of the little brother energy, which is felt deep in the soul, you do get Dean’s rationale. We all are rooting for Ketch to die an horrific death; I favor some manner of blood-boiling myself. Any preferences on your end? Would have been fun if Sam did that, “Sure, I’ll hang back. Oh, had my fingers crossed.” and then jumped through. Nice reaction, Jess, thanks.
