supernatural s11e11 into the mystic (w. robbie thompson)
giving credit where it's due, i think the show has been doing a good job picking licensed work, especially when not stuck to a particular genre. enjoyed here will you love me tomorrow by the shirelles
okay that monster is uh. something. don't eat the baby!! poor sweet thing.
LUCIFER
When your brother was trapped in Purgatory you were here with a girl and a dog. You can't win this, Sam. You're just not strong enough. You didn't even bother trying to find him. And I know that if you're gonna beat the Darkness, you have to be ready to watch the people you love die.
i'd say don't let lucifer get to you, sam - but hell. i spiral over the smallest of social interactions, let alone the big evil angel who knows all my weak spots and is pushing the sorest ones for maximum manipulation. also where is the light coming from in his room with the pattern, he doesn't have a window? is it a weird lampshade? nightlight? scented plugin nightlight?? 🤪
everything's fine! been up who knows how long cleaning my gun, per yoozh
DEAN
You okay?
SAM
Yeah, I'm fine.
DEAN
Are you sure? 'Cause you haven't left the bunker in days.
SAM
I'm fine.
I'M ACES, DEAN.
cas will be fine! which brings about the question, what's crowley doing in all this? i know he declared the team-up over, but no heads up about lucifer being out? is he incapacitated in some way?
(kinda wishing we had pellegrino to still be lucifer but i get it)
DEAN
Maybe we ought to make a reservation.
SAM
Yeah, we should be so lucky to live long enough.
did know about this. don't be sad, don't be sad.
SAM
Turns out Harold was stealing the other residents' Viagra.
DEAN
I know. A real dick move, huh?
cmon sammy, not even a chuckle? that was a good (bad) one :P
dean pocketing some viagra, all right.
(wiki)
According to a tweet by writer Robbie Thompson, Dean stealing the Viagra was unscripted, and was ad-libbed by Jensen Ackles.
gosh that's pretty. what a lovely profile shot of sam
DEAN
So no retirement, huh?
SAM
Hey, you're the one who's always wanted to go out blaze of glory style preferably while the Bon Jovi song is playing.
DEAN
I'm a candle in the wind. Yeah, but the way you said it, it was like that blaze of glory was gonna happen sooner rather than later.
lip service to the blaze of glory when it looks like all is lost but of course he wants to grow old together.
DEAN
Are you okay?
SAM
No, I'm not, actually. Not at all. Being so close to Lucifer again, that... Brought stuff up. Stuff I thought I forgot about.
DEAN
You want to talk about it?
SAM
No.
DEAN
Well, look.
Lucifer is never getting out of that cage, ever. And you are never going back, period. So... Case closed.
💔on all accounts
SAM
Let's burn the bones so we can go home.
at least the bunker's home now
DEAN
Gold blade. I don't have any in the trunk, so I got to head back to the bunker and grab a couple. You stay here and figure out who in this place is vulnerable.
someone vulnerable, like say, sam??
all this banshee talk makes me miss lydia from teen wolf. def the good kind of banshee though, no brain munching to be found
after hours of staring at 1968-1970 ford galaxies i see how similar they are to the impala lol
blarrgh dean is gonna unload his amara secrets to lucifer!cas, fucking great. always anyone but sam
DUDE. how had i never stumbled into this?? so i'm looking up mildred's actress dee wallace, and she was the mom in E.T.!! but!!! the little boy, elliott! is the dude in all the flanagan stuff - young hugh crain in hill house, henry in bly manor. mind blown LOL. that movie devastated me as a child and i haven't watched it since haha (which reminds me i was talking to my very sensitive 10 year old about charlotte's web and i was like, wasn't it sad? and he's like. eh. me: really? not sad?? him: ehh. LOL okay! i'm glad for you, little dude, didn't end up with that particular flavor of my sensitivity too)
anyway!
s11e11 mildred / e.t. (1982) dee wallace as mary
MILDRED
I knew it. I knew it! I -- you two are too cute to be FBI agents.
i mean...
i was a little nervous what they were gonna do with marlene/eileen, having a deaf actress and character be a hunter is cool. assuming she doesn't die :S also she could teach them whatever fancy sigil situation she used to trap sam. ooh and a men of letters legacy, too. please don't kill her.
DEAN
I tried to kill her.
LUCIFER/CAS
Well, the two of you are connected somehow by the Mark.
DEAN
Yeah, no, it's, uh... It's more than that.
LUCIFER/CAS
Attraction? Oh, Dean.
DEAN
I know. I know. Okay? Whatever it is... attraction, connection... I got to tell you, man, it scares me.
I don't know that I can stop it. I don't know that I can resist it.
christ on a cracker. i hate everything about this. i got some time off from being enraged over him IMMEDIATELY lying to sam after all this we gotta be straight with each other yet again, but hey it's back. and now divulging to lucifer inadvertently, so much hate it.
[Mildred signs to Eileen ‘I got dibs on the other guy. You can have the tall one’]
[Mildred giggles as she signs ‘I’m not much of a mountain climber anymore’ and laughs]
[Eileen signs [‘Are you sure you don’t want both?’]
that was so cute and funny. thirsting over the boys in plain sight, and eileen like girl, shoot your shot, try for both of them! mildred is gorgeous, i think dean might be down
SAM
Are you worried about her? So does this mean she has a shot?
DEAN
Well, I always did have a thing for Blanche on “Golden Girls”
SAM
Seriously?
DEAN
Hey, don't judge what you don't understand, Sammy.
SAM
No, I'm -- I'm not judging. I-I just always had a thing for Sophia.
DEAN
Yeah, I could see that.
sophia, huh. i mean, okay. can you imagine though, 6'4" sam and 4'10" estelle getty. talk about mountain climbing. and of course dean liked blanche, no brainer. and rue mclanahan was all of 51 when the show started
well, he went all-in on the crazy smile (sorry, pellegrino would never 😔)
EILEEN
My mother was a lawyer. Be nice to follow in her footsteps.
SAM
I was studying law at Stanford when my brother came and got me so we could get our revenge.
EILEEN
You've been hunting together ever since?
SAM
Yeah. I-I wouldn't do this without my brother. He's had my back every step of the way. Even when I let him down.
oh, sammy 💔 show's convinced you that you fucked up more than i think you have (pushing the purgatory thing and i'm still not convinced :p) meanwhile we get to highlight how dean's fucking up right this moment.
well damn. they've done a great job establishing some little side characters i actually care about. thinkin if something happens to eileen or mildred 🔪🔪🔪
MILDRED
You know, tell me something. When's the last time you watched a sunset without waiting for something to go bump in the night?
they (supposedly) would park and look at the stars sometimes, maybe they should add sunsets to the list
MILDRED
You want to know the secret to living a long and happy life?
DEAN
Actually, yes, I do.
MILDRED
Follow your heart. You do that, all the rest just figures itself out.
and since i like her character and how she's playing her, this little sappy advice made me cry. also, i love how she's openly flirting with dean and he's flustered but not in the ew gross old lady is hitting on me way
great, and dean's the vulnerable one? i mean honestly, they're both emotionally vulnerable disasters all the time so.
MILDRED
Darlin'... if there's one thing I've learned in all my years on the road, it's when somebody's pining for somebody else. Oh, don't try and hide it now. Follow your heart. Remember?
i mean. is he pining for amara? is that what we're going with? this obviously has the ambiguity that you could slap it on to whatever ship of choice as well. follow your heart to sam instead of your dick to amara? :p this nebulous connection to her is... nebulous. halfway tempted to just fucking look up how this plays out, but then i'm just waiting for things to happen (which is why i don't do well with big spoilers) so i probably won't. it has to be dire to do that (and i have with this show in the past, just to know how many episodes of whatever plotline were in my future)
DEAN
He was looking for lore on the Darkness. Something a little off about him, too.
SAM
Something always seems a little bit off about Cas. Yeah, you know, being so close to Lucifer probably wasn't easy for him, either.
i'd say some of that's on the inconsistent writing/characterization of cas, but potayto potahto :p brushing off dean's concern to aid in finding out about lucifer at the worst time, i can imagine
SAM
Dean... when I was with Lucifer, he, um... He showed me things. It was like a highlight reel of my biggest failures.
DEAN
Yeah, he was messing with you. That's what he does.
SAM
Give me a sec. I should've looked for you. When you were in Purgatory, I... I should've turned over every stone. But I didn't. I stopped. And I've never forgiven myself for it.
DEAN
Well... I have. Hey. That's in the past, man. What's done is done.
All that matters now, all that's ever mattered, is that we're together.
oh 😭
oh god and sam's box with actual baby dean and sam in addition to the retirement home brochure?? now i'm really crying. good god. i knew about the brochure, but not the picture as actual kids
at least dean got into sleep clothes and under the covers this time.
go talk to sam, you stubborn ass.
