KEYSMASH!!!!!!!!!

Holy molee, I love this show so much. It just keeps getting better and better. I don't think you all believe me. I don't think you believe how good this show is. But good god, it's fantastic. This last episode (the last one until January ;_;) was probably my favorite of the season and one of the best eps of the whole show. For fear of keysmashing again, let's just use bullet points, shall we?

  • MARK SHEPPARD! MARK SHEPPARD! MARK SHEPPARD! Oh Mark Sheppard, why are you in all my favorite TV show? Pretty sure the dude has been in every single TV show I've ever watched and I love it! What I love even more? That he played a good demon! Who made out with guys! Ok, so that last part was kind of weird, but Mark Sheppard brought his dry wit and awesome accent to the part of Crowley and I'm really hoping he'll come back. I love him.
  • MARK PELLEGRINO!!! Also known as Lucifer, also known as...Jacob! Watching how amazing he is on Supernatural makes me sad they killed him off of Lost. Knowing Lost however, he probably won't be permanently gone, but tbh, I'm glad Supernatural scooped him up, because he's awesome! He plays Lucifer perfectly. Lucifer is actually friendly, matter of fact, and convincing, with just a hint of underlying malice. His scenes are always fascinating and creepy and I look forward to ever single scene he's in.
  • CASTIEL!!!! Castiel...I've always liked Castiel, but I don't think I've really ~embraced him like the rest of the fandom has, but he was great this episode. First being his usual awkward self and doing shots with Ellen and ruining the picture, but later with his fantastic confrontation with Lucifer. Especially when it seemed like Castiel was starting to realize that actually, Lucifer was making a lot of sense. I may not always ~love Castiel, but I always always love Misha Collins. He's amazing.
  • I thought this episode was great with the creepy factor. The part with the reapers was really really creepy, and I love the way they do the hellhounds. The fact that you can't see them, makes them all the more terrifying. Also, the realization at the end that Lucifer killed everyone in the town was really disturbing. Not to mention Death coming back. That can't be good.
  • And how can I go any further without talking about Ellen and Jo? Because if I'm being honest, the death of those two characters was what made this episode so damn powerful. I've cried at this show before, but never as hard as I was crying when the realization hit me that Jo wasn't going to make it. The funny thing is, I was never really a fan of Jo or Ellen. I didn't hate them like a lot of people did, I just didn't really have much of an opinion on them. But their deaths were done in such a powerful, heartbreaking way that I found myself sobbing all alone on my couch. Huge props have to be given to Alona Tal and Samantha Ferris as they did absolutely beautiful jobs in all their scenes. I think what this show does so well is go into the emotional core of every scene. Even when the show is about hellhounds and ghosts and demons, it always finds the emotional beat to every situation. In this case, even though I may not have been that connected with the characters of Ellen and Jo, the fact that these two women were the closest things to family that Sam and Dean had, and that even if it wasn't ~romantic love between Dean and Jo, he really did love her, was so powerful and sad and kind of devastating. Especially with the fact that Dean and Sam failed in the end.
Well that was longer than I thought it was going to be. I just have a lot of feelings about this show, ok?
