Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 170

Citizen Fang/The God Complex

“Citizen Fang”

Plot Description: Sam and Dean are at odds after sM asks a hunter named Martin to keep an eye on Benny without telling Dean

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: I’ll tell you one thing, I wouldn’t dare try to hit on someone Benny said was like a little sister to him. That’s how you end up dead

Omg Sam leave Benny alone. You cannot compare the couple days or whatever you had with Amy to what Dean and Benny had for a whole year in Purgatory

This little mom and pop drive up diner looks so cute. I wanna go.

What’s that one ability Magnus had in TAZ Balance where people in small towns just loved him and wanted to welcome him in and whatnot? Dean’s got that. He’s BARELY told this girl enough info about Benny (going by Roy now) to prove he knows him, and she’s just about given him Benny’s address

Now, I don’t believe Benny’s actually the guy killing these people. I think he’s doing clean up, but nothing he’s doing is helping his case. I just hope he makes it out of this episode alive

It IS hard to believe Benny’s not always been this cute and cuddly, what with his Louisiana drawl and his crystal blue eyes

Benny’s little sister figure is actually his great-granddaughter??

Sam. I don’t think you get to be mad if Dean doesn’t fully trust you. IVE WATCHED SEVERAL SEASONS OF YOU KEEPING SECRETS FROM HIM. SECRETS THAT KICKSTARTED THE APOCALYPSE

Martin wtf.

Ok you know what? As long as Sam is looking to actually investigate and not just kill Benny, I appreciate what he said about going to find him with Martin

SAM!!! Just leaving Martin out in the woods like that. Ok. I’m good with it.

God Dean and Benny have such delightful banter between them, especially now that their lives aren’t CONSTANTLY in peril, just most of the time

Oh no Dean. Look. Benny didn’t actually get tempted enough to feast but…you’re…you’re gonna have to deal with that at some point, aren’t ya?

Oh. Sam’s going to Amelia, not to Dean and Benny

Sucks that Benny can’t stay in his home town ☹️

Oh Martin can absolutely go FUCK HIMSELF for threatening Elizabeth to get to Benny

WHO’S THE ACTUAL EVIL ONE HERE, MARTIN??? Because I’m pretty sure it’s you.

Oh Benny. Just…so willingly so docilely laying down your own life for Elizabeth’s sake and safety. They cut away from how it ended but doesn’t mean it looks good for him

Sam. You disappeared and she had a whole ass husband who had also disappeared and came back. What did you think was gonna happen?

Oooo we DO get to see what happened in the gumbo shack. Well, Martin’s dead (GOOD.) but Benny’s no where to be found

Omg…DEAN. That’s just mean to do to Sam. Yeah, no wonder he doesn’t want to listen to you about what happened with Benny. YOU CAN’T PLAY WITH HIS FEELINGS MAKING HIM THINK AMELIA WAS IN TROUBLE AND THEN BE SURPRISED HE DOESNT WANNA HEAR SHIT ABOUT YOUR FLING FROM LAST YEAR

“The God Complex”

Plot Description: the TARDIS lands in a hotel that contains the darkest fears of every visitor

Morbid that there’s this whole wall full of photos of beings and their fears as they get picked off

“It’s okay, we’re nice” roryyyyyyyyyyy

Why do we have two episodes back to back where we go places with confusing landscapes? I wouldn’t be mad at in the same season or with the same Doctor, but back to back??

Joe….is certainly something.

(I just had the thought “do I have season three of sherlock on dvd?” And I don’t know if I want that answer to be yes or no)

Oh this poor dude whose species has never had a moment’s test from invaders…

Joe you are not helping

Ok but who is “He”? He who will feed? Him who those who “see the light” praise??

You can REALLY tell this is an overlap year with Sherlock from the way this is filmed.

RIP Joe

I forgot it was a minotaur-like figure, which makes this labyrinthine hotel makes sense

It does kind of look like the hotel from the shining. They definitely took inspiration from, not a one to o r comparison

It’s really good when the Doctor comes up against something also extremely old. This creature has been around so long even it’s name is lost, it’s pure instinct now, and all it does is prepare beings to be taken by [???]

Ah, Howie, you idiot. RIP, my lad

Not to be like “I don’t trust this guy who’s seemingly afraid of everything” but I don’t trust this guy who’s seemingly afraid of everything

Oh no, Ritaaaaaaaa. Not you, too.

Guy whose name I don’t remember is acting VERY suspicious

I hate thissss. I hate watching Rita succumb to whatever is controlling the hotel. It was heartbreaking hearing her say that she could feel herself losing the faith she’d grown up with and loved and having it replaced with just “Praise Him.”

Yeah. This is the kind of episode that weighs heavy on him. He hasn’t been able to save anyone but Amy and Rory, and Rory’s just because he hasn’t found his room (and the guy I’m suspicious of, but I hardly count it as saving if he’s behind any part of this)

Oh interesting. And kind of sad. See, turns out the WHATEVER preys on faith not fear. And so it will show you what you most fear in order to force you to dig deep to find what keeps you brave. But Rory has nothing he believes in that much? Nothing he holds so dear to keep him brave? I’m guessing for Amy, it’s the Doctor but in a childhood hero kind of way. But you know how much I’ve seen Rory move mountains out of his love for Amy???? And that’s not something that keeps him brave??? I don’t believe it

Mmmm, the Doctor lies. And he’s lying to Amy right now to save her. Making her lose her faith in him so [???] can’t feed off it anymore. Well, maybe it’s not ALL lies, but I hope it’s PARTIALLY lies

So…apologies to that guy. He had nothing to do with it

I didn’t realize this was when they were supposed to say goodbye. I remembered there was a split at the end of season six because Amy and Rory were on the edge of divorce at the beginning of seven but DAMN
