Supernatural 2.17 - Heart

1. "Okay, Sparky! And you know what, after we kill it, we can go to Disneyland!"
2. "Dude, why do you always get to hang with the girls?" "Because I'm older."
3. "Dean, always with the scissors."
4. Dude, can't outsmart Sammy.
5. Awkward!Sam is awesome. *jerks away from the table* "Oh Sammy."
6. Sammy loves soaps. Or at least I think that was what they were watching. Sounds soapy. Is that a real show?
7. Huh. I knew she was the werewolf, but I didn't think the boys would find out so early in the episode.
8. "My head feels great, thanks."
9. "Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"
10. Of course it's Glenn.
11. "You know, for a stake-out, the car is pretty conspicuous." Heh.
12. "Poker. anyone?"
13. *grins, pumps fist in the air* Oh Dean.
14. HI. Stop talking. Just do it.
15. *insert incoherent squeeing*
16. THAT MAN IS GORGEOUS. GORGEOUS. OMGJARED.
17. OMG.OMG.OMG.OMG.
18. "I'm asking you to save me."
19. "Sammy, I got this one. I'd do it."
20. "You don't have to." "Yes, I do."

That music. Sam looking back at Dean, crying and crying and crying. And that lone tear from Dean. And that flinch. That flinch.

And Dean thinking that it would be him one day, having to kill Sam. The foreshadowing. IT JUST HURTS. Sam broke me. And then Dean, you broke me all over again.

I admit it, I find the first part boring. Not enough werewolf action in the entire thing (anyway, what do the werewolves do with the hearts?), but dude, lots of other actions, especially in the later part. And oh, I don't normally notice these kind of things, but Kim Manners rocked the director's chair. The scene with Dean's first encounter with Madison The Werewolf was impressively shot with the shifting camera (very Friday Night Lights). And that sex scene, whoa, the clumsy, rushed intimacy was captured so beautifully.

And Jared, you're the only one who can make me squee and flail and then wail like a baby all within 10 minutes. (And dude, you really have been working out, haven't you, you sly dog.) And Jensen, you can really work that 'lone tear' thing. And that flinch. Oh man. We all know Dean Winchester shouldn't flinch at a gunshot. He's heard plenty, but that flinch, it was so vulnerable, so beautiful. That whole scene, my heart broke a million times. And after re-watching it three or four times, it's still breaking my heart.

Sam killing Madison was sad, so awfully sad, especially since he had such a connection with the girl. And I do like Madison. The build-up of that relationship, given the short time they had, was good. It wasn't rushed (that would be OOC for Sam). It was rather a smooth upwards path, from awkward to comfortable and then finally trust. Nicely done, Sera Gamble.

And Dean fighting to protect Sam's innocence again. In Something Wicked, Dean said if he could help it, he wished Sam didn't know about the supernatural. Now he didn't want Sam to know the feeling of killing a human being (remember in Croatoan how much Sam was against it?), of shooting someone you care about. He didn't want Sam to have to carry that burden. Dean, ever the protective big brother.

The fact that Sam did it, however, was kinda an indication that when the time comes, if the time comes, Dean would have to do it. There is no running away. I guess you can't really compare the Sam/Madison relationship with what the brothers have, but it's equally heart-breaking.

OH SAM. OH DEAN. YOU TWO BROKE ME.

(My review this week is kinda messy. Pardon me. I'm all broken.)

I AM OFFICIALLY (HEART)BROKEN.

[whitepalms.livejournal.com]

I have no words. Because oh my fucking god. It was brilliant.

I can't understand why some people are saying this sucked. O.o

[insidemymaze.livejournal.com]

You know what they could have done in this episode? HUGGED. They could have HUGGED. That's all I have to add. Haha.

OH MY F GOD!
This Episode was one of the best I've ever scene. The first part wasnt as actionpacked as the second, but hell, we saw Sam smile and Dean in a stripper club and the brother playing scissors!
And the second part... Seriously. I'm still shaking!
Crying/Shaking thats the 2 things I do. I just saw it (downloading always sucks).
But the love scene... I'm totally speechless here!
but I'm already shouting:
GONNA ANIMATE EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF THIS EPY!

Thanks for the review, I always love yours as you get the right bits of it!
hugs you, because hug is good!

And Dean thinking that it would be him one day, having to kill Sam. The foreshadowing.

I agree with you here. Sam...I don't want to say loved, but he really liked Madison and he killed her because he knew there was no other way.
I guess Dean cried because he realized he had to do the same to Sammy someday...maybe. Poor boys.

I'm taking the songs. Thanks a lot!

Your one-line thoughts at the beginning always are a treat to read :)

Of course it's Glenn.
LOL, he was the last one I had in mind. Either I'm getting slow on the uptake or Supernatural is just getting better^^

I like your connection with Croatoan which shows just how much things have changed since then for them.

And Jensen, you can really work that 'lone tear' thing. And that flinch.
Gosh, I loved Jared in this episode but Jensen just puts all those emotions on his face like no one I know *clings*

[country_bee.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the songs! *HUGS*

[alwaysavingme.livejournal.com]

And all you hear is ... BOOM at the end. :/

I didn't surprisingly cry when Sam & Dean cried. Well Dean just a single tear.

Let's face it... the Winchesters are doomed when comes to love. Any girl Sam has ever loved or felt a connection to has died. Jessica. Madison.

heh in the episode I kept thinking it was the Ex who bit Madison.lol I was like Oooh man...when I saw the moon and that Madison wasn't in bed with Sam anymore.

me = shattered. your reviews = perfection.

As you can see I'm still in some sort of nonsensical plain.

You do know these boys and the bucket of angst and tears are going to be the death of us don't you? I mean, I survived Vaughney (barely) and S3 woobie!Logan but seriously - I'm not too sure I can handle it coming at me like this. I was expecting like the Sam shewolf sex - and we got - well, you know what we got! *dies*

[halfasblind.livejournal.com]

You said everything I wanted to say - but in a less rambly way. :)

This episode was great, save for the first half-hour or so. I was expecting more, though. It was werewolves, after all, but I guess the Sam/Madison portion of the show was more important that the actual werewolf. The last five minutes were the most heartbreaking minutes ever. My GOD. Sam with all the tears and then Dean with the lone tear (Jensen has that down to an art) and then with the shot and the flinch. There are just no words to express the awesomeness of all that anguish in those few scenes. I just want to take them both and squish them.

*sigh*

I was dying to know what the song at the end of the eppy was and knew I had your post to look forward to, so thank you for always providing!

[heizqu.livejournal.com]

AGREED. You manage to say it all so well.

The ending just BROKE me, OH BOYS. And damn, Jared is the most GORGEOUS CREATURE EVER, OMG.

Downloading the songs, thanks!

[redmysticspyder.livejournal.com]

I missed half of it but what I did see,, broke me
Silly thing was, I was in the middle of an epic DA marathon and i was like crap I forgot to record it. *sigh* the end killed me

[beautifulovexo.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, this ep was amazing. I didn't like the first half hour, cause like you said it was kinda boring but as we got like the the 45minute mark, it became AMAZING!

See, I didn't like Madison because I know her as Nicky from OTH, who broke Jake Jagelski's heart and ran away from commitment so whenever I saw her I was like 'OMGWHOREE!' Unfair, but that's how I look at her in any role. Like whe Jensen was in Smallville I hated him [his character] because I was such a Clana person but now I can't take my eyes off of the man!

Anywho, the alst scene broke my heart and seeing Dean cry for the first time since..I think since 2.02 was heartbreaking. When Dean cried, I cried.

Jared, you beast nice abs! What workout have you been doing, cause I soo need to do it. Maybe this calls for a Jensen shirtless? More like the one from Skin, and less the one from Route 666.

It's gonna be so sad when the time comes when Dean has to kill Sam...hopefully there will be another option, Dean can't afford to lose another family member.

Downloading the songs =]. Thanks much!

I finally had time to watch this episode (and the previous one) and I'm mad at myself for not (trying) to watch it sooner. Guh, why do these boys keep playing with my emotions like that? First they make me grin from ear to ear and then, the next moment they break my heart in a million little pieces.

The ending blew me away. Sam crying. Dean flinching. Music ending. Everything was played out perfectly.
