Bring 'em Back Alive

Supernatural spoilers, obviously. Master reaction post for this episode.

Be prepared for my Sabriel trash/Gabriel fangirl self to emerge

Pre show: Ugh why does Gotham have to air at the same time now I have to wait for the Joker stuff to happen. I watched some previews and. Um.

Sam: Gabriel, I need you.

Me: I know you're actively baiting me but I don't care this is beautiful this is straight out of fanfic THANK YOU THOUGH writers I will take what I can get let's be honest

I'm also so scared for my baby I hope he recovers soon. Seriously, he keeps curled up all the time and twitches at every touch. I shudder to think what he's gone through.

Okay here we go episode starting.

F off Ketch but also be an attack dog please Dean needs canon fodder (can you tell I don't care about Ketch much? I don't.)

CHAAAARLIIIIIIE my girl I did not expect to see you here!

...omg I swear if they just brought her back to kill her off ugh

Gabriel my baby. I'm loving Speight's acting, oh my god, seriously, give this man an award.

"Open up like a Choo Choo" seriously cas

No my baby, Gabriel...

"Where were you?" "Out." Jesus christ, lucifer with Jo, come on. Protective of Jack ish, possessive - not surprised he's not doing well in Heaven.

Fuck off Asmodeus ugh.

Duh it's personal, Ketch, everything is personal.

Okay why are we shooting Dean, come on now.

Going to a camp now, we have a direction.

Ooooookay Gabe with faking your death. I kinda hoped that wasn't the case but really what did I expect. And apparently porn stars is a consistent thing with him, jeez.

What the fuck Luci seriously. What's with the exorcism thing. These priests are dumbasses, and while the moment with the demon was funny, I don't know what you were going for here.

Ugh no Charlie is the sister he never had. Ketch taking care of Dean... good but also that wound is not promising.

Okay Cas and Gabe... my baby had better make it through.

Dean recovering, fine... let's move.

Sammy!!!!!!! You're right! Omg. Omg. This is what Sabriel is for. Oh my god.

"Gabriel, I need you."

"Porn stars." Seriously. But this does sum up Sabriel- oooh, is Asmodeus spying through Gabriel perhaps?

Now Dean, you should probably listen to Ketch. You don't have to be vulnerable to him - okay we're going there. I'll accept this. Dean is right, Ketch, you do suck.

"One more time. Bite me." I love you Charlie seriously.

-ooh I haven't seen this Avengers trailer yet I'm so hyped/not ready-

Gabriel omg. My baby, my baby.

Luci, seriously, you're at fault here. "Finding your bliss", right. No amount of self-help stuff is going to help you. Jo is completely right here dude, yaaas Daneel.

I see that Luci still hasn't learned his lesson, and that -Gabe, Chuck, Jo- throw it in his face as soon as they see past the idiocy.

No no no Charlie. YES BOYS

Oh Gabriel how I love you have I mentioned this? I swear Sam and Cas - but hopefully Gabe - will RUIN Colonel Sanders here.

Creeper much?

You will NOT hurt my baby. YES GABE. YOUR WINGS. I AM READY.

yes Charlie you would like your alternate self. I see the fanfics now.

Gabriel leaving... I'm sad but also not surprised. Also a bit angry. I really hoped you'd grown a bit, but fake-sacrifice plus porn stars plus torture does not a better person make. I mean, I'd want out if I just got rescued from endless torture. I'm actually pretty upset about it, to be honest - because I can't blame him, after all this. I would have hoped for maybe a calling card or something, more time in the bunker - well. You're free, at least there's that, I guess.

Cool leaving Ketch behind, but now they either have to grab some Luci grace or convince Gabe to come back. I'm guessing Charlie and Ketch will find Mary and Jack, and now I need Charlie and Jack to be bros.

Dean... god, Jensen with the angst (tm). So I'm assuming a Gabriel hunt coming up? Or something?

I'm still miffed at Gabe, as they retconned his sacrifice which made him so interesting. I'm peeved. But I'll allow it an have a headcanon that he's still keeping secrets and was probably actually dead for a bit with some other bad stories. He's always playing his own long cons so I wouldn't be surprised. Still, I gotta hand it to Speight for being awesome as per usual.
