That's precisely what life is. It's an obstacle course, and maybe Chuck designed the obstacles, but we ran our own race. We made our own moves. And mostly, we did well with that.
Raising Hell (15x02): Castiel in Every Episode (favorite quotes): [108/?]
Looks like Lebanon victorious again and will move on to its final battle! If it wins, we will retire it to The Hall of Fame and Prophet & Loss will carry on in it place, having given Lebanon its closest fight!
Let see who the next contender is!
Chuck: For its final battle, Lebanon takes on Raising Hell - Sam and Dean have evacuated a small town to shelter in a high school while trying to keep the souls from hell at bay, by using a spell.
We get an additional return of Kevin Tran for no good reason and a really stupid retcon.
“Does it smell bad or what? You aint sneaking around with that scarf”
“that really wasn’t disemboweling”
“idk if that’s cool but sure”
“are they possessed now?”
“hey bitch”
“they don’t seem like much beer drinkers”
“gonna say”
“Amara?”
“God, Chuck is so weird”
“we’re slipping in advertising? Really?”
“Dean’s not very good at telling Rowena No. I think she just wants it more now”
“wouldn’t you want to wear that chain under your gun strap?”
“feel like this is an old closed down facility. No real meat pack would be this fkn dirty all the time”
“Is that Belphegor?”
“oh hey shit. Family reunion”
“why the fuck are we chopping shit?”
laughter “that was kinda funny”
“Belphegor is kinda cool”
“mmhmm”
“Rowena’s calling him butch? What does that mean?”
“that was very exaggerated”
“cock blocked”
“that was pretty fast to come back”
“still got it going with the hair gel”
“Sam, why don’t you swallow some more. Fuck”
“why did he take his iron off?”
“rowena enjoyed that quite a lot”
“Also Ketch is shot a lot. Maybe go heal him?”
“not going to slap him on the shoulder?”
“cock blocked”
“I thought you couldn’t power it up? Once it dips, it’s dipped?”
“dick digging”
“is it going to close on Kevin before he gets out/“
“that’s a lot of backlighting”
“uh huh”
i'll be honest, i don't really understand this souls from hell / ghosts combo situation. goofy fucking cg on the souls. ghosts of s1 monsters
ah yes, the hell-ghost all hands meeting
is rowena flirting with castiel again? asked the same question in 14x14:
14x14
no clue what the exchange (would say flirting but to what end, to make cas uncomfortable or actual flirting) between rowena and castiel was about.
great. ketch. very tan business casual and with some new wacky weapon. and i guess they're going to have a show-recognized moment of flirting between rowena and ketch.
oook. captions and script say she says "you!" but all i hear is "ew"
CHUCK
So, how about the "Game of Thrones" ending? Pretty great, right?
choosing to interpret that as petty chuck shade because what writer thought that was a great ending :p
DEAN
This mess... all the messes. It turns out that we're just hamsters running in a wheel our whole lives. What do we have to show for it, huh? Tell me you don't feel conned. God's been lying to you, Cas, forever. You bought into the biggest scam in history.
CASTIEL
You don't think I'm angry? After what Chuck did? After what he took from me? He killed Jack. But that doesn't mean it was all a lie.
DEAN
Really?
CASTIEL
Chuck is all-knowing. He knew the truth, he... he just kept it to himself.
DEAN
Well, now that his cover's blown, everything that we've done is for what? Nothing?
CASTIEL
Even if we didn't know that all of the challenges that we face were born of Chuck's machinations, how would we describe it all? We'd call it "life". Because that's precisely what life is. It's an obstacle course, and maybe Chuck designed the obstacles, but we ran our own race. We made our own moves. And mostly, we did well with that.
DEAN
Did we? I'll tell you what we do know. Nothing about our lives is real. Everything that we've lost, everything that we are is because of Chuck. So maybe you can stick your head back in the sand, maybe you can pretend that we actually had a choice. I can't.
CASTIEL
Dean. You asked, "What about all of this is real?" We are.
i mean, i can see where dean's coming from. going to start questioning everything you feel even when knowing someone was behind the wheel setting up every important moment in your life. and never knowing if you in fact had any wiggle room to make any decision or feel any feeling that wasn't preordained. think cas is being realistic slash optimistic, but also relatable how dean's feeling. if you can truly blame a singular being for sending you to hell for 40 years, killing almost everyone you care about, torturing everyone you care most about, etc -- all for god's entertainment? gonna be pretty fucking mad
spn 15x02 / nda by billie eilish
so fucking dumb and random but here i am watching and i'm like THAT SCREECHY NOISE! it's so fucking similar to the beginning of the song NDA. that song is the first in my main playlist so i hear the start of it more than normal (because often i'm obsessing over new songs at the end of my playlist so i won't have it on shuffle)
~this is why i can't watch a fucking episode in less than 3 hours sometimes~
just have to laugh every time osric chau pops up. get that bag, friend
DEAN
Chuck said he was sending you to Heaven.
KEVIN
Yeah, what he said, not what he did.
????? okay
cut back to hell-ghost all hands. this plot is LITERALLY making me do this while i watch. didn't i just stick up for you, late seasons? they're not much worse than the other seasons, i said. are you trying to make me look like an ass??
ROWENA
The dominating, analytical enforcer... you... and the pulsating, throbbing firebrand... me.
pulsating, ok. little more than i needed to know, rowena
this soul sucking thing with the showdown and the shooting ketch and playing the music like i'm supposed to be sad about ketch getting hurt... woof. and this kevin business is also so random and ridiculous. and i didn't like the amara plotline the first time around
i hope this episode is not an indicator of the season to come.
Amara: I'm done, Chuck. I've changed. I've adapted. I've become the better me. And you? You are still the same petulant, narcissistic. So, I'm leaving you here. Once, long ago, you sealed me away. Now, in a way, I'm doing the same to you. You're trapped, diminished, abandoned. So I guess you got what you've always wanted. You're on your own.
