1. Favorite episode of Supernatural?
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE -__-
On The Head Of A Pin
This ep is chock full of storylines bending all at perfect, intersecting points so that it makes you go oh no. Answers burning questions like what happened to John Winchester in Hell, what was Sam doing with Ruby that made him get stronger (HAHA @ everyone who thought it was sex), just how fucked up did Dean get downstairs, what happened to Anna after she got her groove back, and rose a slew of new ones. Is Sam really going darkside, what the fuck were the angels doing while all the seals were getting broken, how is Dean supposed to stop Lucifer when he's so broken, is Castiel going to break away from Heaven, just how many angels are like Uriel? Some of which were answered in the course of the season, some of which still stand.
The character interactions were fabulous and tangled ♥ Sam blurs the line so much with this one, I cannot even. On one hand, sipping on demon blood. On the other, saving Dean and Castiel from Alastair and getting the information the angels needed.
Dean, Dean, Dean. We finally got to see the animal he became in Hell, carving into Alastair with nothing but hate in his heart. Gotta hand it to Jensen, he worked it in those scenes. Such intensity and darkness etched into every line of his body, then turning it all around to utter fear and quiet, heartwrenching despair when Alastair tells him he was the first seal. I still can't watch that part without my vision getting a little cloudy. Major props to Jensen and Chris, the air positively crackled with dramatic tension.
And my dearest Castiel. I don't think I had fully got onboard the Castiel bandwagon until this ep. I liked his character, sure, especially since he started warming to Dean, something which I noticed more after rewatching his episodes before 4.16.
A brilliant reviewer made note of the symbolic connection of the dead angel's position at the beginning of the episode, and linked it with Mary's and Jess's deaths, like so:
And that's pretty much Castiel's introduction into the boys club. He even acts like the Winchesters, doing his own investigation, busting some heads. His character just became a whole lot more sympathetic, having been betrayed by his comrade, struggling mightily with the torture bit--the fact that he didn't want Dean to have to do it was very telling. Angels aren't supposed to want. Then he's lost and confused and seeks out Anna, begging her to tell him what to do, oh god, he breaks my heart.
The final scene...All this stuff crashing down on Dean and him not being able to take it, his self loathing and perceived weakness and helpless confusion. The first seal deal was just the perfect kick a man when he's down moment the show has ever done, imo, maybe rivaled only by Sam unknowingly breaking the final in terms of sheer, heart stopping wrongness.
So basically I love 4.16 because I'm a huge angst whore :P
2. OH MY GOD THERE IS A GIANT ROBOT ABOVE YOU AND IT WANTS YOUR SOUL WHAT DO YOU DOOOOO
Okay first of all WHAT WOULD A ROBOT DO WITH MY SOUL, HUH? IT'S A FUCKING ROBOT.
I'd make like Kirk and confuse it into destroying itself. CUZ I'M GANGSTA LIKE THAT.
3. What was your favorite part of Star Trek 2009?
FFFFFFFF, HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE AGAIN. Has to be the meeting between the young Kirk and Spock Prime. There's this gravity and undeniable nostalgia and emotional weight that settles right in your stomach the moment you realize who's saving Kirk from that huge beast. I couldn't even squeal properly, I was so knocked over by Leonard Nimoy's presence onscreen. And the important part was it wasn't shoe-horned in, and he brought the specter of Kirk Prime even though Shatner was nowhere to be seen. Powerful stuff.
4. IF CHARLIE THE UNICORN SHOWED UP AT YOUR DOORSTEP, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Who the hell is Charlie the Unicorn? But hey, unicorn! I'd capture him and add him to my magical pet menagerie.
5. HOLY SHIT ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WHAT DO YOU DO?
AIM FOR THE HEAD, MOTHERFUCKER.
