This is going to be EPIC!

[switch842]

First off, AC/DC GREAT way to start off. Great selection for a recap. Great editing. Just a great opening.

I like that we picked up right where we left off. It would have felt cheap to have a time jump, I think. Sam and Dean getting ganked out of the way by God? HOLY SHIT.

I think I need to go bullet points now cos there's just too much going on and not enough words at the moment:

~The chick with the Sam/Dean fanfic? HILARIOUS
~Bobby getting demonized? ;ldfkgjs;egj
~Dean being Michael's sword? aslekdfja;soirhg
~Cas returning and kicking angel ass? as;dkjh;sdfg (speaking of, is that Cas? Could it be Michael? Did Cas get some extra angel juice from God? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM??)
~The whole Lucifer/Nick thing? asdlghj;sfg I was almost starting to sympathize with Lucifer a bit. But, I guess that's point. As they say, every villain is the hero of his own story.
~Dean and Sam BROKE UP!! Not like, literally, but damn near. And I was a SOBBING MESS. Damn hormones....

Oh! New!Meg! She was Christian's costar in Hide. If she's the permanent New!Meg then she is AWESOME. Is she going to be back? Or was it just a one off? Anyone know?

Anyway. I think that's all I can get out right now. Leave me comments and we'll talk.

I love how new Meg NAILED old Meg's speech patterns!!

Yes. I like the New!Meg. She can stick around. :-)

You already know what I thought of the eppy and like you I was totally blown my how subtantial it was as they tried to cram so much in. I laugh, I cried and I hurt.

The crying-at-the-end part? *points to self* Same here. Oi. *cries* Trust the Kripke, trust the Kripke, trust the Kripke...

I'm going to be repeating that to myself for weeks until they start to get better. Because they WILL get better. I know it'll be slowly, but they WILL.

Or I'll kill him.

I actually didn't like the new Meg :(

Everything else rocked ass though. I was so disappointed in Bobby when he was mean to Sam, then he was a demon and I was like Oh, that's better LOL

[regann]

Ahahahaha, yes! Totally awesomeness <3

My mom was hilariously in love the fangirl!Becky and didn't seem to care she was writing wincest, but I think this is because my mom is a Samgirl and anyone who loves Sam as much as she does is OK in her book. ;)

OMG CAS, CAS OMG?!? He was kicking ass and taking names mightily. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE OF HIS VERY SPECIAL CHARACTER ARC THIS SEASON.

And I agree -- ;_; on Dean&Sam breakup!

So much happened in this episode. This season is going to be AMAZING.

You don't? Give her a chance. I think she'll grown on you. More than new!Ruby, anyway...

When Bobby went off on Sam? I was just "Ooohhh, shiiiiit." And as soon as his eyes went all black I sort of cheered cos then, ya know, he didn't mean it.

OMG CAS, CAS OMG?!?

I KNOW!!!!!!!!! We need more Cas! I need to know what the hell is going on!!!!

I LOVED new!Meg, and I hope that actress gets to play her again.

I find myself sympathizing more with Nick than with Lucifer per se, because that whole set-up was about Nick. I've always liked Mark Pellegrino's work, but he tends to play sleazebags, so I wasn't really sure. We haven't seen him play Lucifer yet, but damn, he was surprisingly awesome for me as Nick. In a way, it saddens me that they spent about half the episode building Nick up and then he's most likely not gonna show again, but then again, you never know.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Supposedly, new!Meg will be back. Yay!!

I've never seen anything the guy playing Nick/Lucifer has done, so I don't really have any opinion of that. There is one (slightly shallow) thing that gives me pause about him a little bit. Kripke had said that they wanted their Lucifer to be handsome and charming and suave, etc. And I just don't find him handsome at all in any way. So I really hope he cleans up really well to get us to that place. Cos right now, he just looks like an evil guy.

[angstbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh yayaya! I totally look forward to that. Granted, I wish Nicki Aycox can come back, but this new girl is pretty good, too.

Oh weird. Kripke said that? And here I thought he was going for something totally different with Lucifer by casting Pellegrino. Because, seriously, everything I've seen him play, he's a sleazebag or a blue-collar guy. or a sleazy blue-collar guy. :D I thought Kripke was trying to be radically different. Lucifer is always portrayed as ethereally beautiful, etc. But imagine him as being just like the guy who lives next door. Wouldn't that be a trip.

Who knows, maybe he does clean up really well. He's already surprised me once.

I thought New!Meg was awesome. I was worried beforehand that it'd be like the Ruby redux, but I thought the actress nailed her. She can stay around!

Awww!! My heart was so broken over the final scene... OH BOYS!! *sniff*

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Rachel Miner really is a fantastic actress. In the sense that she can actually act, so that's always a bonus. ;-)

I know the boys will resolve their issues. Because they have to. But it'll be interesting to see how this storyline actually plays and how long it goes on for.
