Cas manages to pull back, and Metatron tells him the “truth that would make the Bible thumpers heads explode.” Metatron starts off proud of his new life, defensive and challenging even, but after a beating from his former partner in crime that is more savage than Cas cares to acknowledge, Metatron tells the truth: humanity sucks, and being beaten to death would be something of a favor. I’m not ready to let him go yet.Īmara is WHO?!?!? After the very humorous reveal that Metatron stashed the demon tablet under his mattress (ha!) and the admission that he, in fact, does know what the Darkness is but he will not tell, it finally comes to down to those heavenly blows. As miserable as his life may be, I’m glad Metatron survived this episode. I’ve made no secret of how much I love Curtis Armstrong, but his delivery of his monologues here stokes the fire of that love even more. Cas saves one of Metatron’s crime scene victims/stars, knocking his camera away (and leaving it to be found?) The two of them run away when the cops arrive, destined to have a knock down drag out, arguing about Metatron’s life on the lam. Metatron’s pathetic new life as a paparazzo and a pickpocket keeps him in rent money, but humanity has not done him any favors. Seeing Metatron? As a reality program videographer, staging shoots and raking in cash? That gets him off the couch. Dean tries to rationalize Cas away from the “siren song from the idiot box” but Cas’ flashbacks to the violence he has committed send him right back to the screen.
SUPERNATURAL SEASON 10 EPISODE 6 TV
Fascinated by Dean Winchester? So not a first.Ĭas’ TV binge continues, delightfully, with Jenny Jones (when was the last time you thought about her, huh?) because he cannot live on the caviar of The Wire and Game of Thrones alone. The sweet triumph and the even sweeter folly of what he’s wrought. You can’t help but represent that for me.

Why? You were the first thing I saw when I was freed and it had been so long. “Tell me, what is happening here? Between us? You save me, I save you. Unfortunately for him, Amara’s bond with Dean won’t allow that. He and Amara interact in a way that is borderline creepy in its tension (credit to actress Samantha Isler for holding her own, chemistry-wise, with Jensen Ackles) before Crowley comes to “help her to realize her fullest potential.” Crowley’s finally over their bromance-he’s going to kill Dean. Not a bad day’s work.ĭean, it turns out, doesn’t want to kill anyone either. Sam, true to his life saving commitment, manages to defy the odds and kill only one of the four demons he nabs. They unify to head to the asylum, exploit Dean’s past “summer of love” with Crowley to get the jump on the demons, and battle their way to Amara.

It’s interesting to see the dynamic between the boys when their minds aren’t in sync but their instincts are. Sam and Dean trail Crowley to an abandoned asylum where he is stashing Amara (where else would he, really?) Dean thinks he’s ready to kill her. In this case it doesn’t apply, because this meatsuit has been shot through the heart, but we’re left wondering why it’s so important to Sam to save everyone and why it’s so not important to his brother any more. Dean’s still on a “slash first, ask questions later” kick, but Sam wants to exorcise him and save the meatsuit. She’s got the upper hand and she knows it.Ĭrowley sends a demon to kill one of Amara’s latest “candy wrappers,” the soulless body of attempted-murdering teen Goldie, but our boys get to him first. It’s amazing.) Crowley tells Amara she may not need his tutelage but he could offer her his protection if she’ll just be patient. Much of the banter between Crowley and Amara could have been lifted from this show and stuck right into a script of Parenthood and it would have fit just fine. Supernatural has the same finesse, here, by having Crowley behave as the weary parent to an unruly daughter.

He first dismisses Amara’s disinterest in him as mere teen snark, but she makes it clear all too soon: she has less of an interest in cat memes and more of an interest in ruling the world.īuffy the Vampire Slayer was a masterwork because of its clear parallels between real life teen angst situations and the horrors of all things occulty. Crowley thinks he has all the power but he doesn’t. The newly teenaged Amara’s rebellion is at hand, and she doesn’t need to express it via a nose ring or a tentative smoking habit. Let’s not waste any time and get right into it, shall we? First up? “Our Little World.” After a blissful weekend spent at the Salute to Supernatural convention in Pasadena, California ( why yes, I did meet Jeffrey Dean Morgan, thank you very much) I am back with a two-fer recap.
