15x08 Bullet Point Rambles

Chuck is an utter asshole and killed everybody in a casino except the terrified bar server. Like, recognize you’re angry about your sister and don’t take it out on casino employees, man

OMG Sam followed Eileen on a hunt to protect her. Sam bby

Ah, Donatello is back. It IS Buckleming, after all

Sam and Cas are hanging out together, Dean is notably on the opposite side of the room from Cas. DUDES PLZ

Dean accuses Michael of being a real daddy’s boy which….pot, kettle, black? (I realize that’s the point.)

Oh EW Chuck is speaking to them through Donatello. GROSS CHUCK

Oh wow hey surprising, Chuck threatens all the women they know

Boris and I are demanding the return of Ghost Kevin!

CAS looks so SAD and now I’m sad damn it

Hey who else saw the gritted teeth Cas made when he healed Dean? Who else is concerned. GUH

They do a spell to head down to Hell. (Boris: Why aren’t these idiots just taking the stairs down to Hell?)

IT’S ROWENA!!!!!!!! She’s leading Hell. I seriously just threw my hands up in the air and shouted YESSSSSSS

Okay, so Rowena’s dead. But she also seized the throne in Hell which is some mad fucking props, okay? LOOK at her entourage of buff hot dudes! LOOK at her ensemble! Rowena is living her best afterlife, and I’m so proud

Eileen gets a phone call from a hunting buddy…potential hunt ahoy!

Rowena misses “flesh on flesh sex” and Amazon which…fair

Rowena orders Dean and Cas to fix their shit while Sam’s off fetching a drink for her. She’s so smart! We love her so much! 

!!!!

Adam isn’t in Hell but he IS hanging out at a diner with Michael eating burgers and fries and pizza

I love seeing “Adam" and “Michael" facing each other. This is lovely work

Dean asks about Eileen in pointed terms. Sam says they have an “agreement.” OMG Sam

Sam’s quick to say family stuff isn’t for them. Sam BBY. But Dean gives his approval of Sam+Eileen, and that seems important to Sam? 

Lilith shows up to hang out with Michael and both of us hiss like angry cats. She’s arrived to bring Michael to see Chuck. Lilith, humorously, is still sporting her nature girl outfit. But Michael disintegrates Lilith sooooo….problem solved?

OOF Cas prays to Michael to get him to head to the bunker. Yikes. Cas prays next to a chess set, alone. “I’m not your enemy anymore.” God is.

Michael remembers the whole, uh, assbutt incident. Sorry, dude?

Fucking Speight delivers a DAMN good introduction to Dean and Sam striding in on a suddenly trapped Michael. MMMMM yes good

Michael’s in an angel-stabbing mood, which does not bode well for the “Cas survives this episode” notion

They brought Michael back to the bunker in cuffs. Super idea. TBH Michael does a pretty good job of laying out his grudge against these three yahoos

I love the look on Sam and Dean’s faces when they see Adam speaking for himself. And, like, OMG it’s revelatory. Adam suggests they start by apologizing, but Michael has considerably less patience

“He’s having a mid-eternity crisis. Or maybe you don’t know your dad as well as you think you do. Parents keep secrets.” (Me: thinks about Santa Claus and slinks off guiltily)

Sam and Eileen race off to help her friend on the vamp case. e e k

Cas goes in to talk to Michael. He used to hate snobby Michael, but now Cas finds him pitiable as Chuck’s puppet. Ooo Cas this is some damn thin ice you’re skating here

Cas zaps his thoughts into Adam/Michael and we get a brief Chuck manipulation clip show from all the way back to season five

Boris and I talk over the break about how great this show is and how great it is that Dabb has clear love for this show’s story and these characters. The show underwent interruptions and network changes and through it all it’s found a way to spin a compelling story that calls back on its past while crafting an intriguing future. It’s also so amazing to have had a lot of the same core cast over such a long period of time

And now we get to the kitchen scene. The KITCHEN SCENE. Does this mean Cas is gonna leave instead of die? Maybe he storms out? Maybe my feelings have congealed into a cold, black pudding of angst!?

The bunker rattles and the angry husbands answer Michael’s call. Michael gets it…Chuck’s a problem.

Eileen is driving the Impala, glory glory (Boris: They really don’t trust Jared with that car)

Sam senses a trap and it’s….FUCKING CHUCK pretending to be Eileen’s friend. OH DAMN

Michael’s on board and he knows how to lock Chuck up just like he locked up the Darkness/Amara

They need a leviathan flower for their lockup spell. Michael opens up a door to Purgatory - open for 12 hours only. AAAAAAH [insert picture of elmo on fire]

Dean apologizes to Adam. It’s very heartfelt. o u c h

“Since when do we get what we deserve?” Adam asks. VALID

Dean and Cas are…heading to Purgatory to revisit their honeymoon? W H A T is happening

Boris: It would make more sense to only send Dean because he’s a human and can pass through that ol’ portal. But Cas? We don’t know! He only got freed from Purgatory because of angels??? What will happen???

Coming up next week in 8 billion years: Chuck tortures Sam! We probably feel too many emotions! HELP US

Jane the Virgin 2x10 Chapter Thirty-Two

Spoilers disclaimer (please read before sending messages or writing comments.)

Click here for previous recaps!

Stray thoughts

1) I really love how big of a storyline Jane’s passion for writing is. When I started watching season 1, I feared this would be one of those characteristics that seem to completely define a character at the beginning of the show but then either the writers get bored with it or they don’t know how to follow through in a realistic way and then she finds she loves something entirely different. But Jane’s passion for writing is truly fundamental for this show – from the episode titles to the omniscient narrator – and it’s the only thread in Jane’s arc that I’m actually invested in.

2) I’d almost forgotten she still hasn’t had sex! I get that the word “virgin” is right there in the title, but come on!

3) OMG, Rogelio’s mom is singing the “Wake up, Rogelio” song… I guess she’s the reason he has such high self-esteem.

4) My dog this did to my computer once…

5) So, finally, Rafael acknowledged that what Michael did was actually necessary to save Mateo…

RAFAEL: Because my mother wanted the chip. The one we traded for Mateo. MICHAEL: But I gave that to Nadine to give to Rose. RAFAEL: My mother says Rose doesn't have it. MICHAEL: Oh, my God. Nadine must not have given it to her. RAFAEL: That's why I wanted to talk to you, away from your partner. 'Cause we probably broke some laws trying to get Mateo back. MICHAEL: You didn't. I did.

Am I the only one seeing a contradiction here? Just like two or three episodes ago Rafael claimed that HE PAID SOMEONE to go to the police and tell on Michael because Rafael was trying to SAVE HIS FAMILY from evil, shady Michael. Now, he admits that the very thing Michael did which had supposedly put his family in danger, is what saved Mateo…

6) Lina wants Jane to get some, and tbh, same.

7) #traumas

8) Hahaha! The profile pics that Lina used are gold!

9) I really love Rogelio’s relationship and communication with both his parents? He’s just so open and wholesome and healthy in the way he talks to them, which is so unlike the typical Latino macho and it’s so fucking refreshing and such a positive form of representation, you know? I also super love the extended dialogue in Spanish because it makes it much more realistic. I think that’s a reality for bilinguals, you know? American shows and movies are usually so afraid of having characters not speaking in English that they end up fabricating situations in which everyone magically speaks English even though that’s not their native language, and as a Latina myself, I truly appreciate this.

10) Okay, so the last one was a Michael episode, I guess it’s Rafael’s turn now…

Guh, this show does so many things right EXCEPT this. This is awful. I hate it I hate it I hate it.

11) Petra is in the hospital?!

12) I guess we’re turning the triangle into a square…

13) “Fair point, Still illegal” reminds me of “Cool motive, still murder.” Give yourself kudos if you get the reference.

14) A totally valid reason to fire someone, if you ask me.

I knew she wanted Rafael to take care of her. I also hate this, you know? Petra might be sort of evil and manipulative, but even she deserves better than Rafael.

15) I have a feeling Jane will end up kissing a rando in this episode. That’s twice that word has been thrown in.

16) And this reminded me of Rebecca Bunch…

17) Oh, of course, Petra is super scared, I had totally forgotten about their miscarriage!

18) Called it…

And tbh, I’m feeling this way more than I ever did her thing with either Rafael or Michael.

19) He has a girlfriend. Ha!

20) Well, I guess this pretty much boils down why she keeps going back and forth between Rafael and Michael…

XIOMARA: My point is, you're a relationship person. JANE: Yeah. I am. You know, and the thought of going through all this again. Trying to find the right person, going on so many terrible dates. XIOMARA: Till one isn't terrible… JANE: And then what? I have to start over again with someone? It just sounds so exhausting. I just want to skip to the end.

She’s a relationship person but she can’t be bothered to go through the whole process of getting to know someone, dating them, falling in love and all of that. Either Rafael or Michael would offer her that, the skip-to-the-end thing. But neither of those relationships seem destined to happen, at least not yet. Pre-show Jane and Michael were in a healthy relationship, or at least it seems so based on the flashbacks we’ve seen. But she hasn’t quite had a healthy relationship with either of them in a season and a half. So maybe she should really try someone else…

21) “You don’t pop in peach!” I got that reference…

22) I knew that this whole situation would help Xiomara better understand her mother-in-law. Rogelio just fired his own mom and…

23) That’s some good advice. Thank you, Alba.

24) Aw, Xiomara tried to take the blame for the firing, but Liliana had already heard the conversation between her and Rogelio and was aware that Xiomara had tried to talk Rogelio out of it. Nice to see these two burying the hatchet…

25) This is actually pretty close to my list…

26) Yep, sounds about right. #same

27) I knew there was something odd about that scene at the beach…

28) OMG I’d watch the hell out of this show!

29) Yes, he did find a good woman, and yes, he should marry her.

30) They’re choosing names…

…and bonding…

31) Is this an old flame of Alba or something?

32) She’s fantasizing, right?

I mean, who says “your brains are so hot”? (not that it wouldn’t be a total turn on, but still…)

Yep. Okay, I guess?

33)  Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!

I finally got to watch season 3 episode 11

Here are my more Tomura-related thoughts in chat form.

KumaraDosha: I'm still just consistently baffled by how frickin much Tomura doesn't know. gdi AfO If anything, THAT is a hint that you're just frickin using him... 2B: afos genuine sadistic joy really does paint a picture of his personality LOL;; HE WAS HAVING SO MUCH JOY I DONT TRUST HIM MARA KumaraDosha: Then again, rofl, who has more sadistic joy than Tomura, too Guess we found out who taught him that KumaraDosha: I'm so frickin confused, because like. On one hand, AfO is literally stepping aside to let Tomura grow and find his own footing, seems to legit be planning on passing the torch, and yet he's hiding all this frickin stuff from him?? The whole Nana thing, yeah, but especially the entire nature of One for All and that Izuku is the next OfA wielder??? Is figuring it out himself part of his growth? He's BEHIND on this stuff, you fool! You gotta tell him the basic principles of what's going on! This isn't the kind of thing you just DEDUCE, LOL KumaraDosha: AFO, DAD, SENSEI, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME "I created chances for you and Tomura to meet." You piece of shit, you sent Tomura after the final boss first ON PURPOSE??? Tomura: *lying there with five gunshot wounds* AfO: *thinking about how hilarious it is that All Might unknowingly hurt somebody related to a loved one*

2B: YEA HE ENJOYED IT SADIST

KumaraDosha: I WISH THEY HAD DRAWN HIS SCARRY HEAD BETTER. IT JUST LOOKS DIRTY AND SMOOTH SMUDGY HEAD 2B: he just looks like a cock tbh

KumaraDosha: dsagdfh

2B: wrinkle dick dickhead

KumaraDosha: TJHIS SUCKS SHOULD HAVE SAVED SOME OF THAT BUDGET FOR HIS DICKHEAD, BUT NOPE, USED IT ALL UP ON HOVER BAKUGOU

KumaraDosha: Bwuh I just can't help but imagine the frickin stress of seeing sensei beaten like that again 2B: yea he almost died last time... and it was on the news this time so, tomura gets to watch on his computer lol KumaraDosha: In front of all of his friends. orz

2B: aizawa out here like damn it.. i wish i could erase thru footage HE COULD BE OUT THERE NULLIFYING AFO RIGHT NOW IMAGINE HOW FAST THIS FIGHT WOULD BE WITH ERASERHEAD ROFL KumaraDosha: If he can erase them all. I wonder how that works. 2B: well afo has multiple quirks but im assuming one quirk factor so KumaraDosha: Or lol, does he just erase AfO itself, and AfO swiper no swiping, but he still smash you with mega arm 2B: erase targets the quirk factor id assume he wouldnt be able to utilize his quirks KumaraDosha: That just sounds super OP, but ok 2B: ?? AND COMPLETELY BYPASSING ERASE DOESNT? KumaraDosha: BUT HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE Like seriously why not just send Aizawa out to AfO if it's that easy 2B: HES NOT A GOD HIS BODY HAS A MECHANISM FOR UTILIZING THE QUIRKS HE STEALS bc plot! KumaraDosha: Somehow I'm still doubting it. 2B: its called a plothole ROFL KumaraDosha: ur a plothole 2B: WHY ARE U SO DEFENSIVE OF SENSEI U TOMURA MAIN LOL KumaraDosha: AFO IS A GD CRYPTID; HOW CAN I EVEN TOUCH THAT 2B: HES JUST A MAN WITH A QUIRK KumaraDosha: YOU SEE THIS CRATER HOW U SAY THAT 2B: A LOT OF QUIRKS KumaraDosha: HE'S 200 YEARS OLD 2B: because he stole a longevity quirk! KumaraDosha: YES, HE HAS A LOT OF POWERS. POWERFUL. DEMIGOD. 2B: ooo my god you afo worshipper KumaraDosha: I'm not; it's just...he's like DBZ STRONG I mean, I can't even begin to untangle the mess of what AfO's genetics must look like, lol;;; But seeing his power, I just can't imagine Aizawa's quirk holding up to it. It doesn't make logical sense to me, after what I've seen him be capable of. 2B: but saying "hes strong so no one elses quirk affecting quirks can affect him just because" also makes no logical sense there has to be SOME affect you cant just completely nerf aizawa with no reasoning beyond "but he strong" KumaraDosha: He probably stole an anti anti-quirk quirk 2B: MtfbgejijIgg KumaraDosha: LOL YOU NEVER KNOW IDK man, sensei's just good y'know. He just is; sensei's amazing 2B: i think your sensei love is skewing your logic LOL KumaraDosha: I know you think that, but...! 2B: you have personal stakes in his potential fallibility KumaraDosha: orz IDK 2B: its ok, we all stan here KumaraDosha: But my logic gears are still working...! 2B: one of your primary argument bases is just SENSEI IS COOL AND STRONG AND CANT BE BROUGHT DOWN BY LESSER BEINGS i think your gears are a bit skewed here LOL KumaraDosha: Guh...! What if Aizawa tries to neutralize all the quirks and his head asplodes 2B: i feel like thats valid honestly. the strain of trying to nullify so many quirks would probably tax the upperlimit of erase we've seen him do crowd control but afo has like, 100 aizawas eyes start bleeding ROFL i think the compromise is in between honestly, where aizawa should be able to erase afo, but he just has so many that the second he tries to use his quirk on him he just immediately strains his own quirk so, you win in the end! sensei is too op, we wasted an hour on nothing LOL KumaraDosha: I knew it! o:
