Since when is Michael the little brother? I clearly remember Adam/Michael calling him “little brother”.
Also it makes no god damn sense since they parallel and in some ways are literally Sam and Dean/Cain and Abel. Michael is the older (Dean/Cain) and Lucifer is the younger (Sam/Abel).
12×15 “Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell” Silent Stroytelling Galore: When Expressions Say Much More Than Words
This is a face of utter defeat. A face of complete disillusion and seeing things e exactly for what they are: freaking sad. Dean has been shown down with lieing a multitude of times this season, but this moment like no others before drive home, just how done Dean is with them. I don’t think he was truly surprised when Sam told him where he got the phone calls and jobs from at the end of the episode. It was more like a sad: “I thought so.” Dean isn’t on board. He’ll never be on board. His entire body language screams that. And that’ll pose issues further down the line. Will Dean become the next “rogue hunter” the BritMoL may think they need to deal with? I personally hope that come whatever the narrative will focus on how Dean cannot “be tamed” or “controlled” – because that’s in the end what the BritMoL want, utter and complete control over them – he is the ultimate symbol for free will after all.
Well there goes a not so subtle shoutout to JDM on TWD, I suppose. ;P Man, would I love to see Jensen in something like TWD. I’m sure he’d make a great fit in there (shhhh, I won’t start talking about how I think Dean and Daryl would make one hell of a hunting duo). 🙂
That said, so Dean is covered in flesh and blood – meaning it must have been one pretty big confrontation – and Sam is like… not even having the tiniest splatter of blood on his clothes. What did he do in that fight? Direct Dean from afar? Guess so if Dean also thinks “he is doing all the heavy lifting”.
I don’t like how this already how the show seems to go back to the stupid “brain vs. brawn”-aspect regarding the Men of Letters that came up as well when the Winchesters got to know Henry Winchester.
Also: Sam you are a horrible liar. And dear writers: Unless Dean is playing Sam here and is knowing perfectly well where those cases come from but gives Sam a chance to tell him the truth (which Sam obviously doesn’t take) and at the end of the episode it will be revealed, please stop writing Dean absolutely ooc, because there is no way in Hell that Dean hasn’t put one and one together here. Hell, it’s been a long standing fact that Dean is immensly good at reading people – remember how he did that just a few episodes ago with their mom and all? Yeah… so much for that.
Also please remember that for seasons you have written Dean to have a thing for extreme cleanliness and how Dean is actually rather weirded out by stains and gems etc. and don’t just chugg it aside when the plot demands this stupidity (similarly like with the thing mentioned before). I’ll give you a pass though if this is somehow meant as a slight hint or nod for re-adressing Dean’s MoC and purgatory arc, because it was only then that Dean’s sense for cleanliness aspect sort of got relevated to the backseat a bit
aka basically a snarkfest with all the ridiculous lines along with some fun pix&gifs & a little Dean meta thrown in. I am not kind to Mary or Sam in this. Here’s the warning.
The whole thing where Mary is supposedly avoiding her sons because she is upset they were raised hunters is so fucked up. She’s their mother. She should be heartbroken on THEIR behalf that they have become this, not on HERS.
MARY: “Boys, I am working with the organization that abducted you, tortured you, mind-raped you, and tried to kill you multiple times. They have murdered innocent people, and are super shady. I have lied about this, and my withholding information almost got Cas killed. Although I have betrayed you, I am doing this for you. You know, for reasons.”
DEAN: “I am mad about all those things! What you have done has hurt me, mom. I wanted us to be a family and you are making that incredibly difficult with all your shitty shitty decisions.”
End of “The Raid”
DEAN: “Mom, I am sorry for being mad that you dared make your own choices in life. Because not wanting you to work for the enemy and screw us over, is apparently sexist or something? Because obviously that means I just think your entire purpose in life is to make me a sandwich.”
MARY: “Apology accepted Dean.”
ME: “…WHAT THE FUCKKDJJHGHFUCK FUCK!! HAVE I FALLEN THROUGH A DIMENSIONAL PORTAL AM I HAVING A STROKE WHAT IS THIS HOW DOES THIS EVEN RELATE TO WHAT HAPPENED 44 MINUTES AGO??!?!
DID THE LAST PAGE OF SOME OTHER EPISODE GET STAPLED ONTO THIS SCRIPT, AND NOBODY NOTICED???
THAT END IS NOT THE RESOLUTION TO THAT BEGINNING!! DEAN’S FEELING ARE VALID! MARY FUCKED UP! MAYBE SHE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS, BUT SHE FUCKED UP! WHAT IS THIS? WHY DID THE SHOW ACT LIKE DEAN DID SOMETHING WRONG (OTHER THAN THEIR GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF “DEAN IS TERRIBLE”)?? NOT WANTING YOUR MOM TO WORK WITH SHADY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MURDER YOU =/= THINKING THAT YOUR MOM’S ONLY PURPOSE IS TO MAKE YOU A SANDWICH. YOU DON’T HAVE TO RESPECT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS SHITTY DECISIONS THAT HURT YOU/YOUR LOVED ONES! WHAT IS THIS???”
