Supernatural 8.14 and Arrow

Finally getting around to posting...

ARROW: Loved the long look we got this week on Ollie's island time. I feel I was cheated out of comfort time in the present, though. Of course, it should be pretty clear by now that my thirst for comfort is verra hard to quench. I just looove Tech-Girl. I've hearted her from the start and I'm glad she's been given the keys to the Bat cave. (I just realized that both of my Wednesday night shows have Bat caves. Life is just awesome that way.) I loved Diggle and Tech-Girl (seriously, what is her name again?) taking care of Oliver. I can't wait to see what fanfic is born of this.

SUPERNATURAL: The episode of epic awesomness. Let ‘s start with the shallow: HOT DAMN THEY LOOK GOOD IN THOSE GLASSES! They should wear them all the time. Fighting hell hounds, pumping gas, flossing their teeth, doing sit-ups. Always. *fans self*

“Sammy.” *glee* And more than once!

Am I watching fan fiction?

Dean’s perfect ending is Sam having a happy one.

Sam believes in Dean and he can save them both—give them both a happy ending. All Dean needs to do is follow him. “If you come with me, I can take you to it.” Sam so needs this! He needs Dean to hand over the torch to him—one he can just as easily carry, but chooses to pass to Sam. Taking on this risk isn’t so much about saving the world (or even closing the gates of hell) as much as it is just about saving his brother. I feel like this is really all Sam has ever needed—that every well intended bad decision has stemmed from his need or failure to save Dean.

When I first started watching SPN waaay back in season one, I often felt like I was watching the best fan fiction. The boys wore their hearts on their sleeves and it made my bromance lovin’ heart all a-squee. Tonight, after everything they have been through…I finally feel like they have come full circle. I feel like this is where they should be in their relationship. It feels right more than it has in a long time to me. (I’mma just gonna pretend the first half of the season doesn’t exist.)

I haven’t actually teared up due to brotherly love and pride in… I can’t even remember how long. I did tonight, though and I felt like Amanda Woods in “The Holiday” when she realized that she was indeed crying. “Welcome back, Amanda Woods,” the narrator said. Well, welcome back Supernatural. *fist pump*

*fist bump backatcha* It was AWESOME and there were GLASSES! And Sam is so going to finally get the opportunity to save Dean, please let it be so. And Dean's room was like the sweetest thing ever and Sam looking at it and smiling made me 10 kinds of happy.

Can't read about Arrow cause even though I watched an episode, I am, like, 10 episodes behind.

Yes, I loved Sam smiling at Dean's room. And the picture was such a nice touch. So excited about the trails!

The GLASSES! You have to see what I posted...

They need to keep this momentum. I love the focus on the brothers with the Kevin shot of adorable.

The first half of the season felt better to me than it has in awhile - even with the fighting, but this? This is the SPN that sucked me in from the get-go. I love being back here.

Will do! :) Mmmm glasses...

I really hope the writers keep in this direction. I can't bear the boys fighting anymore.

"This is the SPN that sucked me in from the get-go. I love being back here." YES YES!

I completely agree with all of the above, I don't normally watch them till the weekend but I relented this week and watched both shows on Thursday instead. I'm soo glad I did, and yep they looked gorgeous in those glasses *thud*.

Speaking of THUD. Your icon! :)

I really miss my ability to tape the eps and rewatch particular scenes directly after. haha

I'm still happy sighing from this ep!

Arrow!

I had to do a squinty read of this post, as I'm still on SPN S7, but I just caught up on Arrow last night and had to share some squee about that. Yes, I love Tech-Girl (Felicity) too! All her scenes from the beginning, really, so I'm excitied that she's part of the team now (well, sort of, but you *know* she'll get sucked in further and further). And besides the taking care of Oliver part, I loved that Dig had someone to talk to about all of it. And the flashbacks continue to be fascinating - I'm happy we're only 6 months into his island stay - 4 1/2 years still to discover! I thought it interesting that Oliver's resolution to become a different man started that early.

Re: Arrow!

Oooh where are you on SPN?

Did Felicity remind you at first of SPN Jo? Perhaps its the cheek bones.... She's my favorite female character on the show and yes, yes, yes so glad she's becoming a larger part of the story.

I love how we're getting TWO very interesting story lines with every ep and how they compliment each other. *glee*

If I were Ollie I think 6 months would feel like much, much longer there. Like dog years. haha 6 months island time equals X more years Starling city growing up time.

Re: Arrow!

I've seen the first 6 eps on S7, and I'm going over to Gateslacker's tommorrow to watch more! Wheeeeeee!!!

I hadn't made the connection to Jo, but now that you mention it, she does remind me of Jo. Cool!

If I were Ollie I think 6 months would feel like much, much longer there.

Yes, definitely! You would grow up fast in a situation like that (or die, I suppose).
