um, massive spoilers ahead. also, a fair bit of ranting. you have been warned.
basic synopsis of "point of no return" episode 5x18:
kripke and co., "o hai fangirls, minions, wincest shippers! you say you want homo-erotic subtext, well, here ya go! happy 100th episode!"
squee-heavy synopsis of "point of no return" episode 5x18:
oh, Show. srsly. you have to stop this. you are making me into a crazy person and i just can't handle it anymore. i may need a supernatural intervention because i will never willingly give up this much awesome. i am consistently impressed with your ability to wow me in truly unexpected ways.
oh, and jensen? you are my king. i bow to you and your awesome powers of awesomeness. you are entirely too pretty to be such an emotive, sensitive actor, and yet you manage to bring dean's pain to life each week with dumbfounding magnetism.
because seriously, dean really had me going this time. the complete sincerity on his face when he told zachariah that he was finally ready to give in to michael? oh, man. i was yelling at the screen i was so mad! but then! dean looks at sam, their eyes lock, dean just barely smiles and winks. i was tensed up the whole time, but with that tiniest of winks, i knew that it. was. ON. zac did not stand a chance. when you stand between dean and his sammy, no deception or weapon will ever be enough! just when i thought i was losing faith in dean, like he was losing faith in everyone else, he goes and does something totally amazing like stabbing an evil angel in the throat! *
my glee at zac's death aside, he will forever hold a place in my heart as the one who finally outed sam and dean's "erotic co-dependence." thanks zac! good to know you support wincest :-) and does that mean it's canon now, kripke? two weeks ago, you told us the boys share a heavenly space that only soul mates share, and now with the blatant sexy references? **
not to mention all the dean/castiel 'shipping that was going on. example 1: "blow me, cas!" pardon me, dean-o? i don't believe i've ever heard that expletive on spn before, probably because the writers know all the fangirls will be uncontrollably squeeing in our shiny tin hats. example 2: first example neatly followed by intense angel on boy fisticuffs (and tension relief?). maybe it's not sex, but it's the next best thing on network tv. example 3: "the last time someone looked at me like that, i got laid!" really dean? was it cas then too? was sam there?
speaking of castiel, he was one bad ass holy man in this episode. carving the banishing sigil into his chest after killing at least 3 other angels? and already being blown away by dean (heh!) once in the same day? and sensing and reaching adam before anyone else? he certainly seems to have regained some of his heavenly powers. what does it mean? could he really be god? and if so, does he not know it? what about the damn amulet? if sam doesn't have it, i will completely cry. not that it would be the first time Show has reduced me to tears. (like in the first 5 minutes of this episode, when sam first walks into dean's room (#100!) after tracking him down. see dean, he loves you just as much as you love him. you can find him, he can find you. always. so just trust him.)
but all is right in spn-land because now the true winchester brothers are back together!!!!!!! after sweet apologies and relationship rebuilding, they drive off in the impala to bring the fight to heaven AND hell. if anyone can save us from the demons and the angels, it's the brothers winchester.
*and all because of sam's eyes. le sigh.
**if you end the show with sam and dean living in sin/happily ever after, i'll bake you a cake!
