hello !! so, this is a response to a couple asks i got a few days ago. as per tradition, i have taken screenshots of the ask(s) to make it easier for my brain to address each part of the message with ease >.< for additional context, this all pertains to a little ask game thing i've been doing where i rate song recs based on a simple scale.

first ask: part i - part ii || ask game

okei, onto the ask ~!

first of all, don't worry about taking a bit to reply ~ i always take a few days myself, as you can see x.x and don't worry about the length of the messages ! i love talking about music and stuff :]

so, i decided to mix both asks you sent into one. i'm not going to be adding youtube links for all the songs this time (not that tumblr would let me anyway -_- ), but i'll still try to pick the ones i like more from each artist/group and also add random notes about each song as we go. hope that's okei ~ :]

(need link this one to brag about tim :D )

youtube

he's so amazing, is he not ? i'll be honest, i think this was my first time even hearing the song because i also got a little detached from bts after "mots:7". it was just all so grand and amazing that everything paled in comparison after that album came out :(

anyway, i hope you get to see them ~! if not, i'm sure you'll go back soon enough :]

in regards to jimin, i liked his album in general !! i always liked his solo songs the most, i think (his and yg's), so it was nice :] that said, this one has always driven me a little nuts because it reminds me of something i can't quite put my finger on >:( some day i'll figure it out, i guess x.x

// warning for mild flashing lights in the next one ("kingslayer") //

youtube

must subject everyone to this wonder,,, :D anyway, yeah, i love bmth so i've heard every single song they've released :]

okei, let us gush about these lads,,,

truth be told, i'd never heard this one so i had to look up the original ~ they did it justice though ! very chill and sweet ~

i do, however, remember this one :D so catchy and fun and they covered it so well ~

oh, i know the original, for some reason,,, not sure how x.x anyway, this was quite cool !! it somehow sounds a little 2000s nu-metal-ish ? no idea why but that's what i got from it :S

okei, so i gave all these a listen on the day you sent this and i wouldn't be able to pick a favourite album of the three x.x they're all really cool ~ i can tell you my favourite song of each album though !

hello, world! ... album link | favourite song: knock down overload ......... album link | favourite song: x-mas deadlock ........ album link | favourite song: man in the box

youtube

this one is wacky and weird and amazing ~ :D the acoustic guitar prechorus build-up part really sold it for me though :O

woo, so fun ~ i read in the comments that the album is supposed to feel like the soundtrack for a superhero film so it was fun to imagine stuff :]

this one sounds like those late early 80s metal songs i grew up listening so i quite appreciate it :D

and this one sounds really old school, too ~ almost ghibli-esque with the piano, for some reason,,, i agree though, it showcases their voices super well ~ so prettyy

not a huge fan of this type of ballads in general,,, but this is really sweet :D even more with the context of what they did for their member :]

okei, we must move on now,,, x.x

oh, i used to really like seventeen ~ ! must've only heard like 10 songs though x.x not my usual style but i really liked this one back in the day !! anyway, i just saw the year this was released so it's clear i need to listen to some of their more recent stuff x.x

they do have a unique sound, yeah :O and it looks like they go reaaally hard when they dance so that's cool ~!

now, about that screaming,,,

youtube

hmm, yes, that's some nice fry screaming,,, i hate this, though >:( the melody after the chorus reminds me of something and my memory is, as previously established, absolute garbage so i can't remember what it is and now it's in my head and i'm >:((

i feel like it's some apocalyptica song and i'm almost inclined to say i'm thinking about "hope vol. ii" but it sounds different enough that i'm not sure and it's driving me nuts ;-;

anyway, i need to move on, it's been over 30 minutes of this x.x

yeah, not many groups keep the same concept throughout their whole career hehe. bighit does like doing that, though :O ever since bts' "wings" and their little alternate universes thing started,,, anyway, i'll try to remember doing research on txt whenever i get back into the kpop mood,,, for now, onto the songs you sent !!

ah, i remember this one from when it came out ! really fun and poppy ~

another fun poppy one ! i must say, this lyric > our scintilla bloomed underneath the starlight < has no business doing here x.x so dramatic lol (although the same could be said about the trap breaks,,, and the mv,,, yeah, funky mixture of light and dark, i like it :D )

oh, i also remember this one ! wasn't the story about a real life puma that escaped a zoo and got immediately shot ? :( poor thing,,,

hmm, i need to ask. i'm not paying a lot of attention to the lyrics, but i think this is at least the third time they mention the devil, so,,, what's up with that ? i'm loving it, but i am quite confused :O anyway, really fun ~ the whistling sounds like my mom's ringtone though x.x

// warning for flashing lights ("devil by the window") //

youtube

oh no,,, this is the type of pop i've always had a soft spot on,,, the heavy bass and contrasting soft voices,,, the occasional rasp,,, the melodic chorus,,,

let's move on before i listen to this on repeat for an hour x.x

woo, vampire boys time ~ might not always hit, but it's fun that they explore so many different styles :]

youtube

okei, no. not again,,, what does this sound like !?? ugh,,, starting to feel like it's just my brain being wacky u.u

oh, neat ~! more of a hip-hop style ~ i like it when groups all sing together for some dramatic chorus :D

ohh, this one is funky ~ have to admit, i didn't like it as much :( but it was catchy nonetheless ~!

ah, good olde vampiric yearning,,, as evidenced by my stories i live for this stuff so yay :D

okei, we're almost done !! i'm having fun but i've been at this for over three hours (mostly spent formatting) and my attention span has begun to dwindle,,, let's wrap it up quickly !!

oh no :( i wish the circus bit was longer u.u it was quite cool ! didn't like it as much as their others though ;-;

so,,, guess what other song my neighbour used to blast,,, :( those synths used to haunt my dreams ;-;

oooohh, weird fun sounds and heavy bass ~ that's more my style :D

what in the hard bass madness is this ? :O cool ~ ! (sorry the comments are getting so short,,, the exhaustion is catching up ;-; )

woo, that was fun ~!! the chorus is the poppiest thing i've heard from these guys so far (i think) so that was a nice change of pace :D

hmm, will always appreciate a spooky concept ~ :] you probably don't know them, but some of their synths reminded me of skynd's music so that's fun :] i think i liked the vibes of this one the most :O

// warning for mild flashing lights in the next one ("cheese") //

youtube

i accidentally skipped this one so i played it last and that was a great way to end this whole thing :D

phew, we're done ~!! but first the meshuggah

// warning for flashing lights / blood / creepy crawlies / unsettling visuals in the next video ("bleed") //

youtube

metal my beloved, it's just been a few hours but i missed you <3 i haven't heard this song in years so this is delightful ~ :D

okei,, it's done,,, now, about poppy, it's my turn to gush about an artist >:D it's been 30 songs (+ 3 whole albums) so this will be very short x.x

so, each of her eras has a different sound. the "poppy.computer" album was just regular fun pop, then for "am i a girl?" she started doing this wild genre mishmash that included random metal bits, "choke" was more of a dark synth-pop / nu metal vibe (a bit similar to what she's doing rn), and "flux" is alt-rock and grunge :O

my two favourite albums of hers, though, are "i disagree" (10/10, highly recommend listening to the whole thing. more metal mishmash but a lot more cohesive and cool than "am i a girl?") and "eat", for which she went full metal, sometimes even grindcore !! :D

(if you want something suuuper heavy, listen to "say cheese" ^-^)

youtube

this one is one of my favourite of hers :] the grammy's deleted the original video so this is not super high-quality but it's still great ~ (they didn't want to pay residuals i guess -_- )

as for her new album, from which "knock off" is from, "church outfit" has a similar vibe :D she also did this neat cover of "spit" so that's pretty cool :] love it when she screams ~ :D

youtube

anyway, that's it ~ thanks for the asks ~!! this was genuinely fun ^-^ sorry i got all deflated at the end :( got all tired all of a sudden (yay chronic illnesses,,, )

Recap/review 15.02: “Raising Hell”

THEN: Sam shot God! Welcome to the end. Demon!Jack. Last week's non-scary ghosts or spirits or whatever. Strangely missing from the "Then:" Sam's godhole vision. It's actually a very short "Then." Maybe the episode itself is so good, so crammed full of wonderful things, that the "Then" had to be kept brief to make room for all of it.

Or then again, maybe not.

Now. We're still in Harlan, Kansas. A woman holding a scarf over her nose and mouth sneaks into the forbidden zone, and is startled by a neighbor. Or "neighbor." She's seen Close Encounters and knows the benzene story is fake (but if it was true, lady, I don't think that scarf would save you). And yet she's apparently never seen a horror movie, because the fact that her "neighbor" is silently and creepily staring at her doesn't raise any alarm bells. He stabs her a few times and then smokes out into an old-timey ghost who says "Disembowel. D-I-S-E-M-B-O-W-E-L. Disembowel." Well. Okay. She certainly doesn't look disemboweled, but I'll take your word for it. I mean, you spelled it and everything.

Title card. (BTW, you need to check out this very through breakdown of everything you're missing in the title card. It's fantastic.)

Nighttime. Harlan High School. Sam is large and in charge, but the people are restless. And apparently there are "hunters in the zone." Sam gets everyone's attention and tells them the EPA will be here tomorrow (a lie) and they need to stay out of the zone (the truth) and is adorably befuddled when he asks if there are any questions and everyone raises their hand. He's wearing a huge chain around his neck and, unfortunately, has gone back to the undershirt.

[[MORE]]

The zone. Dean and Belphagar. Dean's EMF meter is going crazy, and Belphagar says there are spirits about (are they ghosts? souls? spirits?) but they don't like him so they skedaddled. (Do we believe that?) Dean can't believe he's working with a demon again, and Belphagar can't believe he's working with a hunter, and it's the classic buddy comedy all over again. Except it's not a comedy and they're not buddies. (Do I miss Metatron?) He reminds us that his rationale for working with hunters is that he liked Hell the way it was. (Do we believe that?)

There's a fiery blast at the zone border, and even though Dean was facing it and Belphagar was facing in the other direction, Belphagar is the one who points it out and says "escape attempt, eleven o'clock." The bad guys can't cross the barrier, but rock salt can, which is convenient. Dean blasts a spirit away, who I believe is the same one from the "Then" but I can't be bothered to confirm and is relieved that the warding still works. Belphagar expositions that it won't last forever, and these ghosts/spirits/whatever are more dangerous than average. For example, the ghost Dean just shot was Francis Tumbelty, aka Jack the Ripper.

(Sidebar: Okay, I did actually rewind and use closed-captioning to confirm what Jack said, because what I heard was Francis Tomelty. And here's how my brain works: I can't remember my kid's phone number, I can't remember my license plate number, I can't remember to call the guy to fix the garage door opener, but I do remember that musician Sting's first wife was named Frances Tomelty. That's how useless my brain is. But Wikipedia confirms that Francis Tumbelty is, in fact, a Jack the Ripper suspect.)

I know, Dean, I feel the same way.

High school. It's daylight now. The citizens are still restless, someone's wife is "missing," the benzene story is wearing thin (sidebar: I'm still using captions, and they misspelled benzene,) and people are plotting an escape.

Zone. Ghosts/spirits/whatever are gathering in one of the houses. Francis Tumbelty, who does not have a British accent (but it turns out he was born in Ireland but raised in America so okay, I guess someone did their research), informs the group that they were released from Hell by God himself. And all of these spirits know what hunters are. And Belphegar's name is actually Belphegor. Well. So much to learn tonight. Tumbelty says they need to gather the spirits who are still in hiding. And they can break the warding because "Warding is a door, doors have locks, locks have keys." Actually, the analogy I would have used is that warding is a lock but WHATEVER. Their plan is to "make it as ugly as possible for those who stand guard." Well, the ineffective spooky makeup will help.

Outside. Hunters are patrolling the perimeter. Civilians sneak out of the bushes and then walk right down the middle of the dang street. And then meet a couple of very unscary ghosts. Oh no, what will happen?

I don't know, because we cut back to the high school. They found the first woman's body, and Cas thinks they need to tell her family, and Sam's all, can't do that yet, people are gonna panic. They're interrupted by the arrival of Rowena, which was a surprise to me because I covered the guest star credits. Although it shouldn't have been a surprise, since Dean called her for help in the previous episode. (See how useless my brain is?) She pretends to be more interested in Cas than Sam but I'm not fooled.

Sam says "Remember a couple of years ago when we were trying to get rid of Amara," as if that's how the conversation would go, as if that's anything either of them would need to be reminded of. What he really would have said was "You know the soul bomb you made for Amara? We need another one of those."

WHATEVER.

They don't want to use it as a bomb, they just want a way to capture the ghosts. Rowena thinks it would be too difficult, but they're interrupted by someone who tells Sam they have "a situation."

Zone. The situation is that the two civilians are facing down Dean and Belphegor. And apparently they've been standing there long enough for Sam to actually show up at the zone, which is miles away from where he was. WHATEVER. Dean explains that the guy is married to the woman who was D-I-S-E-M-B-O-W-E-L-E-D earlier and came to look for her. (BTW, we're almost 10 minutes in, and this is the first scene with Sam and Dean together.) Sam, in his kind way, tells them they need to go back to the school. Then black goo drips out of their eyes and Dean realizes they're possessed. The whole standing-and-staring part didn't clue him in (WHATEVER) but now he gets it.

Bowlegs! Hair blowing in the breeze! Something for everyone!

Tumbelty appears and tells them if they don't open the warding, the spirits are going to kill these two civilian vessels. The civilians drop to the ground, groaning in pain, and I remember back when the guys would have let the spirits out in order to save two innocent people. Or at least would have been conflicted about it. (WHATEVER.)

However, some unexpected shots ring out, sprinkling the possessed civilians with... confetti? How festive. Tumbelty zaps out and the Winchesters and Belphegor turn to see none other than Arthur Ketch. Who is also a surprise to me. I guess that gig as an insurance agent didn't work out. Dean seems ridiculously annoyed to see him. Ridiculous considering that they were working together fairly recently. (WHATEVER.)

And now, since none of my regular download sources worked out and I'm forced to rewatch on the CW app, I'm sitting through commercials. Like a goddamn animal.

Back at the school. Ketch says he just happened to be in the area when they sent out the call for hunters. Dean's still not pleased. What is his problem? Am I forgetting something? Did they leave on bad terms? His gun, stolen from the BMoL, shoots iron flakes. Which somehow expels the spirit without hurting the vessel. He and Rowena reacquaint themselves, and she holds no hard feelings against him regarding the whole prisoner thing, since he let her escape. Well, you actually bought that escape, Rowena, but okay. There is an uncomfortable level of eyefucking, as least as far as the Winchesters are concerned.

Belphegor shows up and they have to explain to Ketch that Jack is dead and oh, Sam's face, when he says "dead." This is the first time this episode has made me feel anything. Well, anything good. And it turns out Ketch was actually contracted by "an attractive female demon" (seriously, that just means a demon in an attractive female vessel but WHATEVER) to kill Belphegor. Her name is Ardat and I guess she's gonna show up later. Yawn.

At least sad Sammy is good.

Reno? I laughed and said ha ha, I wonder if Amara is here and it turns out she is! (Because, again, I covered the guest stars.) She's getting a massage. Her maseusse is replaced by Chuck, who looks about 10-20 years younger than he did the last time we saw him. (Just for Men. Find it in the men's section.) She's annoyed with his presence. He's rambling. He liked the Game of Thrones ending, which I guess is supposed to signal what an awful hack of a storyteller he is. Or to warn us that we won't like the ending of our own Show. Or both.

High school. Poor Cas has to lie to Restless Citizen #3 that they're looking for the other missing citizens. "You said you'd keep us safe!" the guys says. That cuts deep, man. Meanwhile, Rowena has given Dean a shopping list. She asks him about Ketch, even though, as Dean points out, they've obviously met. "That was more of a torturer-torturee relationship. Fun, but I didn't really get to know him." But Dean doesn't want to play matchmaker, and says she shouldn't get involved with Ketch. "I mean, Sam is right here," he says. "Why don't you guys get off high center and do it?" (No, not really.)

Cas comes up behind Dean, all rumpled and sad and wanting a hug, and he apologizes for "dropping the puck." Dean doesn't want to hear it. He's so very angry, at Cas and at Chuck and at his life being one giant rat maze. Cas doesn't think their whole existence has been a lie, because even though they were in a maze, they were still living their lives in that maze. That's what life is. Chuck sets up the obstacles, but they still run their own obstacle course. Dean doesn't accept this.

It's interesting that Dean is the one who's taking the truth about Chuck so hard. Sam and Cas were the ones who had faith, and you'd think they'd be knocked harder by the realization that there was never a benevolent God. But on the other hand, Sam's so used to being manipulated by outside forces; this is nothing new to him. And Cas has already seen how the sausage is made. So they're both just, yeah, this is how it is, let's deal with it.

However. I'm not feeling the Dean-Cas conflict at all. I don't really care. And I suspect it's going to be a Big Deal. {sigh}

I’m definitely feeling angry Dean. So much.

Zone. Nighttime. Dean and Ketch are on patrol. I mean, I guess it makes sense to leave Chief Sam in charge at the school, but I'm tired of the guys being split up. Dean gives Ketch one of the giant chains they've been wearing, and says it's iron, to prevent possession. Wow, that would be a heavy chain. They talk about God and Rowena, and then Dean gets a text message. "Trouble. Two hunters haven't checked in." Uh oh!

Meat packing plant. Seriously? There is a meat packing plant in the middle of this residential area? So many chains hanging from the ceiling. I wonder what kind of cage flashbacks Sam would have in here. (And if you fic that, I'd like to be notified, please and thank you.) Dean and Ketch search the place and then it gets cold and then Ketch is hurled against a wall. Hard. Lizzie Borden appears, prepared to take an ax to Dean's head, but an electronically altered voice says "Stop! Get out!" She zaps out and we see the voice belongs to... Kevin???

Turns out when Chuck said he was sending Kevin to Heaven, he lied. Um. Why? What's the rationale for this? I mean, he did things to make a good story, but what was the purpose of sending Kevin to Hell and not letting the Winchesters (or anybody else) know? Dean promises they'll get him to Heaven, and Kevin accept this happily, because Kevin knows that Dean always takes care of him, as promised. (Ha.) Kevin can feel the wards weakening, but he doesn't know if the other spirits can detect it. And the other spirits are afraid of Kevin because he was personally cast down by God. Um. Okay. WHATEVER. But this tells Dean they can use him as a spy.

Reno. Chuck is flipping through channels, and he spends a couple of seconds watching a cooking show where the recipe involves tripe. Which is so meta, isn't it?

He's whiny. I'm over it. So is Amara. And she suddenly detects (WHATEVER) that he needs her for some reason. She can feel his own version of the godhole? She pokes at it and it hurts. "Something happened. You're not complete. You're not at full strength."

Zone. Sam doesn't think using Kevin is safe. Well, he's already dead, so. Belphegor shows up and they're all, your wards are failing and he's all, duh, I told you that was happening, I thought you heroes would have this wrapped up by now. (Are they really fading due to the nature of wards, or is this deliberate? Discuss.) And this spell was a one-time thing - he can't do it again. Because...? We'll never know, because neither brother asks. WHATEVER.

This conversation is like some people. Stupid but pretty.

Belphegor knows Kevin and calls him a "whiny millenial" and my goodness, he gets around a lot for a low-level grunt, doesn't he? He tells the guys that Kevin can't get into Heaven because once a soul is cast into Hell, Heaven can't take it. I am quite sure that Show has forgotten about John and Bobby, who both accomplished that very thing, and I'm shocked to find Show actually address this. Belphegor says God made an exception, and that isn't likely to happen again, since God doesn't like them any more. Oh no! The only way to fix this is if someone else takes over for God!

Reno. Chuck checks out his own godhole, which looks just like Sam's. He pokes at it and winces in pain.

Zone. Sam feels pain in his own godhole. Because they're connected! He lies that he's okay and it's getting better and Dean's all yeah, right.

Sam, for a professional liar, you are so bad at it.

Zone. Spirit meeting. They know the wards are fading. Tumbelty thinks they should attack at a weak point, rather than waiting for the whole thing to collapse. Kevin shows up. They all know him, and some fear him. But Tumbelty knows he's buds with the Winchesters. Because all these spirits know the Winchesters. You know, I can understand all the demons knowing who they are. That's justified. But every resident of Hell? I'm not feeling it. WHATEVER.

High school. More heavy flirting between Rowena and Ketch. Somehow Ketch knows something she doesn't know - that a jolt of electricity will fast-forward her spell. Can we just skip this part? It makes as much sense as the Rowena/Gabriel detour when they were trying to open the rift. They're interrupted by a call from Dean, who demands she hurry. Yes, please.

Zone. Rowena shows up with a bag and runs right into Tumbelty. Who knows her. Because they used to date. All this romance for Rowena, and Sam's still sitting alone at the high school. Come on, Ro. Climb that mountain. Tumbelty tells her they've got Kevin, and sends a message for the Winchesters to meet them at their spirit house. Ketch shows up behind him, with his iron confetti gun, and blasts him, but Tumbelty whacks him with a rock. However, Rowena escapes.

{Commercial time. Zombieland 2 looks good.}

TFW is finally all together. Rowena tells them about Kevin. Dean asks if she has the soulcatcher, and for some reason, Sam has a problem with the name soulcatcher. I suppose this was supposed to be humorous. She does, but she doesn't know if it will work.

Spirit house. Winchesters show up. Tumbelty says if they shut down the warding, he won't devour Kevin. They say no. Tumbelty sticks his hand into Kevin, and this takes a really really long time, but Rowena finally shows up with the crystal and catches all of their souls. Boy, it's a good time devouring Kevin's soul took so very, very long. Rowena tells them this crystal isn't as powerful as the earlier version, and can only gather a few souls at a time. In fact, some of the souls here got away. Oooh, I wonder who.

Kevin tells them about the plan to break through the warding at the weakest point. Jump to the weakest point. There are at least 100 spirits there, according to Belphegor, and more are coming. Dean brings his gun up when someone approaches, but it's only Ketch. Oh, good, he escaped safely from Tumbelty's clutches! How fortunate. It's odd that he's no longer wearing that huge iron chain, though.

Dean tries shooting at the spirits they can't see, but Belphegor tells him there are too many. So Rowena goes forth with her soulcatcher. She still seems to be on this side of the warding, which means she's able to drag the souls through the barrier. I wonder if it would have worked better if she'd gone past the barrier. Then Ketch backhands her because, SURPRISE SURPRISE, he's actually possessed. He drips black goo from his eyes, just to confirm, and picks up the soulcatcher. Dean tries to shoot him, but is conveniently out of ammo. Tumbelty!Ketch monologues and then Dean pulls out his handgun and shoots him and he... tosses the soulcatcher to Dean? Drops it horizontally? Somehow, the thing ends up flying into Dean's hand.

WHATEVER.

(Or did Ketch toss it to him once he was depossessed? Discuss.)

Rowena takes it back and sucks up the few visible souls, including Tumbelty's. Yay! Success! Is Ketch alive? Dunno!

Time jump. Ketch is alive, with only a wounded shoulder, and is being loaded into an ambulance. Cas tells Sam that he tried to heal him, but couldn't. "You're just tired," Sam says. "We all are." Oh, I don't think so, Sam. Dean apologizes to Ketch, and lets us know it was an iron bullet, which is why it expelled Tumbelty. Ketch and Rowena exchange a longing glance. Dean stares. Angrily, maybe? Angry that Mary's ex dared to look for love again? Angry that Rowena is flirting with someone else right in front of Sam? Angry that Ketch is such a wuss that he actually needs an ambulance, and medical treatment, for a mere bullet to the shoulder? Angry that he's stuck inside a Buckleming episode? All of the above? He and Rowena exchange an uncomfortable look.

Aftermath! Kevin doesn't want to stay in the zone and hang out with the guys. He knows he can't get into Heaven, so he's just gonna ghost around and wander the earth. Sam tells him this is a terrible way to exist, and Kevin points out that it's better than Hell. And Kevin and Sam give us what might be the motto for just this episode, or maybe for the entire season:

I'm sorry, Kevin. I wish there was some way to make this right.

Me too. But there isn't. And sometimes, you just gotta accept that.

Kevin tells the Winchesters he loves them (d'aw) and they don't say it back (aw) and Belphegor quite easily makes a little opening in the barrier. So easily, that it really makes you wonder why he has so little power to keep it going. Yep, it sure does. Kevin is gone. Sad waves.

Reno. Amara is hitting the road. Chuck isn't invited. And she knows he's too weak to do anything about it. He can't leave this world without her help, and she ain't helping.

Zone. We see dozens of glowing souls flitting about. The warding won't last long. We need a plan B. "How," asks Dean. How indeed.

So. When I watched this for the first time last night, I desperately wanted to fast forward through the scenes with the spirits in the house. And the Ketch/Rowena stuff. It wasn't any better on rewatch. Some of this episode was just the usual Buckleming nonsense - badly written, stupid things happen for stupid reasons, yada yada yada. But the Kevin plot... can we blame that on the Buckleming? Or was that a showrunner master plan? Either way, it's annoying. And probably pointless. The only good thing about this episode was the confirmation of the connection between Sam and Chuck. I noticed a distinct lack of excitement on my Tumblr feed, so maybe a lot of us feel the same way. If you haven't watched this one yet, my vote is: don't bother.

Please help me stay unspoiled, thanks!
