In Review?

What the hell?

I don't even know what happened that episode was so disjointed.

I also don't know much more awkward than sitting in front of the television with my parents and my mother asking, "Isn't that girl dead?" and my dad, "This is necrophilia?"

Did not want. Really, really did not want.

I mean, I can deal with it. But. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I no longer feel guilty for shipping incest in this fandom because necrophilia (canon) totally trumps consensual incest in terms of squick factor (and moral cesspitness). If necrophilia can squick out my entire family during our Thursday night popcorn ritual, then I think I can want some gay incest to bother us. Ugh.

Beyond that, I've realised that I don't dislike Ruby, I dislike Genevieve being Ruby. I liked all the other Rubys (in terms of acting quality, etc) in this ep. I loved Ruby-as-the-maid. That was cool.

I'm hoping Castiel and Uriel have a reason for wanting to kill Anna. This episode was such a shitstorm of exposition, though, that I'm happy Castiel didn't stand there and explain. I think my junior high English teacher would have had my head if I put this much exposition into a story when I was in eighth grade. I thought these people were professional.

I'm still seriously bothered by the necrophilia. It's not that it grosses me out. I've been reading plenty of books for class that have first person necrophilia with nonanimated corpses. I'm just... I'm not supposed to like those people. Those people are bad people. I want to like Sam.

Well, technically, you could argue that Ruby's body wasn't actually dead, as in been dead and reanimated. Her heart was still pumping, her blood still flowing. Yeah, she was on life support, but it wasn't like decomp had set in. I guess it depends on how you define dead.

Still, I see what you mean. I think this adds a dimension to Sam that has been missing previous to this. I mean, I've always saw Sam as inherently good - now I see him differently, more like I see Dean, if that makes sense. That said, I DON'TLIKEDON'TWANT the whole Sam/Ruby thing either.

If they were taking her off life support and her soul had left her body, I think she was dead.

I don't think Dean is into necrophilia. Necrophilia is so eewwwww

Again, it depends on your definition. There was a split second between off life support and possessed... at least she wasn't decomposing. Hey, I'm not advocating for possession, necrophilia, or even Sam/Ruby. Hell, as you know, I didn't like it. Of course, my objection has more to do with demon!sex than it does dead!sex.

I don't think Dean is into necrophilia either, but he's definitely been more complicated and darker than Sam, until now anyway. It's a kind of interesting role-reversal, to me.

Well...

Alastair, with his language, seemed to be skirting the concept of raping Dean in hell (in my opinion). If this is true, I think it would be seriously breaking for Dean to hear that his brother willingly had sex with a demon (because if Alastair did that, then other demons probably did too).

*goes off to scrub brain*

God... no shit. I'm sure that Dean is already hurting just from knowing how far and how fast Sam was sliding down hill. For all of Dean's complexity, he has a pretty rigid definition of right/wrong.

Poor BOYS! *wibble*
