Supernatural 10.23 Brother's Keeper (eng)
Spoilers, obviously.
Just when I decided that Death is very reasonably used in homeopathic doses up to twice in a season, 'cause he's less prone to be wasted as character this way... I should have long ago learned not to think this way before watching. By the way, I absolutely do not accept even Death can't kill Marked Dean. Can we cancel this piece of the canon, please?
Today's episode of SPN has been brought to you by the letters “...Ups” aka “We planned it as very dramatic, but... ups”.
# “Pfft, no way, you won't kill him, you only say so. ...Ack, you did. Come on, I didn't think you'd be so easily startled when I'll go 'Boo!'. Next time don't play with sharp tools around hostages. Oh wait, you're already dead too, so there's no next time, lesson wasted.”
# “I pissed a witch, and now I'm stuck to the floor and the angel has just remembered he's supposed to be the UnFunny Comic Relief instead of a character as he mistakenly thought for most of the episode.”
# “Hah! We killed Death! Oh, come on, dunno what for; we'll come up with a reason later.” *self-guided spell homes down* “Then again, maybe it was unnecessary after all...” This is how it looks like when there's too many one-and-only solutions and one tries all of them at once, neglecting the proper teamwork coordination. Too many summoners and spell-casters spoils the broth and produces monsters...
# ...which is why it's time to fly away in the top gear, if only the Impala wasn't defeated by mud of all things...
# ...which is why probably it's time to die, if only we wouldn't have fired from the universe the dude responsible for proper management of these things.
I'm totally not sold on this oh-so-terribly-dramatic sacrifice on Rowena's account. That is, I even quite liked him, as much as it was possible in these three screentime minutes he got. It's not about him; it's about her. The whole season of building up the brand identity “Sneaky Vixen” and suddenly ten minutes of advertising a version “Heart Hidden Under the Rusty Fur”? Especially that her choice turned out to be what it turned out, and she was disconsolate for some five seconds after.
(If you’re curious, this was Polish indeed, and even not bad one. The woman calls “Wracaj przed kolacją, kochany” = “Come back before supper, honey.”)
Possibly I'd be more prone to sobbing over the whole Winchester scene, which was missing only a stamp TEARJERKER, if I saw an ounce of sense in it. “I know you and I know you won't let it go, so I have to take preventive measures and kill you.” “Oh, okay, cool.” And anyway I was some 70% sure it'll be Death he'll kill. Rather than everything above, I was much more undone by the little note about the Impala... (Ah, so we know now what Jensen was writing.)
However, there were also good points.
# Castiel & Crowley crossroad scene! ♥ Good heavens, Misha even remembered again he's an actor, not a piece of furniture...
# The Mexican smörgåsbord. It should be noted down in the chronicles that Dean got high scores from a connoisseur. The problem is, the connoisseur now is dead, and good luck in proving everyone it really isn’t because he ate that…
# Yay, looks like either the CGI budget is bigger than eight seasons ago, or the decent software must have gotten cheaper. Then again, the Darkness looks more ashen than dark, but let's not pick at details.
Hmm, a bit anxiously I'd like to notice that last time a Primeval Evil got out from confinement and splashed black all over the place, it ended with the worst season so far. And Bobby died in it. If Jody gets killed in the 11th, I'll go beside myself and possibly stay there, just sayin’. On the other hand, currently we're at a Winchester cease-fire and re-fraternization, so there's – finally and hopefully – a chance for honest cooperation from now on. Yes, I know where we can stick this hope, but temporarily it's May and “Carry On” has sounded, so let's stop at this, for now. ^^
