Missouri as the High Priestess

The Tarot card project continues!  I love Missouri's character and was surprised nobody else had snapped up this card before...

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know in order to make a decision about a problem or a job, an investment, love, career, family, etc.

And, finally, there is, behind her throne, the curtain that leads to the deepest, most esoteric and secret knowledge; the pomegranates that decorate it remind us of Persephone, who was taken down into the land of the dead, ate its fruit, and became the only goddess allowed to travel to and from that strange land. This indicates that when you get the High Priestess, you're going to be learning some very odd things. Very odd.

So I managed to incorporate the moons (albeit the wrong way round) and the pomegranate is there on the table along with the book symbolising her arcane knowledge.
Now all I want to see is an episode featuring Missouri, Dean and a wooden spoon and I will be a very happy camper!

All Dogs Go to Heaven...unless they are skinwalkers

"We do what we gotta do. And we get my brother back."  Which is great until you realise Dean was talking to the brother in question at the time, and then it just becomes one more glaring indicator of how messed up our Winchesters really are....


Initial impressions on first watch - this one didn't blow me away with its WOW factor so much as previous episodes have, but there was a lot of good stuff in it all the same, and a fair bit to keep up the interest!

 

For instance - Crowley can find them, just like that.  Used to be that they could conceal themselves from Demons and Angels alike so either they have stopped bothering, or Crowley as King of Hell can somehow get round stuff even Lucifer had difficulty with last season, or the Apocalypse-that-wasn't has left the universe out of whack and this is another symptom of that.  Whichever it is it is slightly ominous....

 

Heart clenching moments were scattered around like confetti - Dean staring at Lisa's name on his phone again; Dean saying to Sam "I'm working for a demon and I don't even know who you are.";

Sam saying to Dean “I’m gonna prove to you that I am still your brother” only to come flat out with “I don’t care about you, except that I need your help” and Dean’s expression as that particular knife slides in…

 

So it seemed to me that this episode was not so much a filler as a scene setter – having laid out a few ground rules last week, this week was demonstrating how it was going to work – for instance, Dean restraining Sam who was all – let’s ice the monster now, while Dean was – no, we make sure before we had him over to a lifetime of demon-rape.  Dean acting as Sam’s humanity, Sam’s conscience.  And I would worry far more about Sam and any potential future if Sam wasn’t taking notice of what Dean is telling him.  So far, at least, when Dean has said stop, Sam hasn’t gone off on his own and ignored his brother – which the old Sam might have done (and did do when it came to Ruby).  So there is some hope for him yet.

 

Though what damage this is going to do to Sam  - when he is whole again, knowing while his soul was absent he was acting as a ruthless, heartless cold killer… It will be like Dean’s experiences of breaking in Hell all over again, having to live with what you have done as well as what has been done to you…

 

On a lighter note – I couldn’t help laughing at the bedroom scene when Dean wakes up and says it’s creepy that Sam’s been awake all night watching him!  Dean got a couple of good one liners again – like “do you think he came for the sailing?” and I have to say both Dean and Sam were looking totally hot – I shall be in screen cap heaven…

 

For the rest, the dog was cute and scary at the same time, the skinwalker tried to do the right thing and got shafted (and I really hope the mother regrets treating him so badly when she has time to reflect, as he did save her and her son’s lives).

 

I wonder now – if the boys killed the Skinwalker alpha, what happens to all those sleeper cells, and given that they are apparently some sort of kind to werewolves, will the Werewolf Alpha now be gunning for the Winchesters in revenge?
And I loved Fat Mack's angry pig!!!

Season 6 - no apologies - it rocks!

I loved the angel demon storylines, but this season is surpassing all my expectations and is so strongly written so far, I really cannot see what people have to gripe about.  We are being challenged but challenged with the unexpected, the uncomfortable not with pathetic attempts to recreate something that is dead and should stay dead - and that can only be good thing....
If it were hackneyed, cliched or badly written, I could understand the moaning - or if the acting quality was deteriorating and the actors displaying a jaded, lazy attitude.  But no - they are giving us new and exciting stories and the actors are all hitting this darned thing so far out of the park the ball has gone into orbit.
