SUPERNATURAL: S05E02 – Good God Y’all | Recap

Posted in Supernatural on September 19, 2009 by awsumdave

Leave it up to me to get this recap out late.  Most likely this is going to be a shorter recap, because usually I write the recap as I watch the show, but not this time, this is all coming from my head.

Well basically, it seems we have been introduced to another overall arc this season.  The main one being Dean trying to find out a way to destroy Satan, while the world falls apart.  The second one being, God is not in heaven, so Castiel must find him somewhere on this earth.

Dean and Sam once again visit Bobby in the hospital.  While they are there, Dean took the initiative to get an x-ray and saw the Nokian signal Castiel branded on their ribs.  When Castiel showed up after calling Dean’s cell phone, he told them that because they are hidden from all angels, he couldn’t locate them.  Bobby told Castiel to heal him, but Castiel said he doesn’t have all of heaven’s power anymore, only some of it, so healing is something he is unable to do. Bobby gets mad.  Then Bobby gets a phone call from an old Hunting buddy saying an entire town has been taken down by demons.  So Sam and Dean get sent to the town.

At the town, Sam and Dean run into their old hunting buddies from the hunters bar, and she has been housing survivors of the town who hadn’t turned yet, so the boys decide to armor up, and teach the town Rifle’s 101.  At the store, Sam is attacked by two teenage demons, and quickly slit their throats.  For a moment, he stood there, staring at the blood.  Later we understand that he wants to be strong again.

They find the demon’s headquarters in a house.  And here’s where it gets interesting.  They take Sam hostage, and try to get the demon out of him, and are baffled at why he has black eyes, but won’t get hurt when they pour holy water all over his body, and salt down his throat.  Apparently, there are no demons in the town whatsoever, but somebody is doing this TO them.

Dean found out that because someone saw a large shooting star the other night, Dean of all people remembered a verse from Revelations that said “and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place” It was worded differently in the show, but it was referring to ONE of the four horsemen. Apparently one of the four horsemen rode a red charriot, and Dean took that as a red car.  He found out that the horsemen was getting his power from a ring.

Dean took down the demon house, assuring everyone that they weren’t demons that they are hallucinating. Sam and Dean then took down the horsemen, and the war ended.  Good going, boys.

SUPERNATURAL: 5×01 – Sympathy For The Devil | Recap

Posted in Supernatural on September 10, 2009 by awsumdave

SN501-0005

We left our favorite brothers off last season having frightful faces on as the Devil was making his way to our friendly planet.  Well Dean and Sam decide to run finally, and strangely end up on a plane over the city.  Now at first you would think it’s the angels saving them again, but they kind of make points here and there that it’s the devil saving them for some reason.  So the plane makes a crash landing, and the brothers once again head to a nice little hotel.

This is when we meet our vessel for the Devil. It is the actor who played Jacob on LOST, and his character in this is Nick.  Well…he isn’t transformed into the devil quite yet.  He just starts having some strange things happen around his house.  First, he woke up with blood soaked sheets, but when he took a second look at his bed, clean.  When he got back into bed, his dead wife with scratches all over her face introduced herself to him, but once again, he closed his eyes, and the vision disappeared.

At the hotel, Sam and Dean get a visit from their number one fan from the prophet guy’s books. She had a message from him saying he had a vision of Michael’s Sword, and to find it at a castle of 42 dogs. Bobby shows up and tries to help Sam and Dean figure out what to do next, but Sam comes clean and tells him everything is his fault.  This pisses Bobby off, and told him to get lost, and if they pull it off somehow, he wants Sam to forget his number. Dean found some more items from his dad at a hotel called Castle Storage this ends up with him finding out that it wasn’t a castle of 42 dogs it was something that sounded like it, and after Bobby hears this, he knocks dean unconscious, cause he’s now a demon.

After commercial break, we see Bobby has a few demon partners with him, and Dean thought it was Ruby, but it wasn’t Ruby, it was the other Demon we met a long time ago, remember Megan? But when she told Bobby to kill Dean, somehow, Bobby was strong enough to knock himself out of it, and stab himself, killing the demon inside of him. Sam showed up, and couldn’t stop Megan, cause he had no more supernatural powers.

Back to Nick’s story line, he still is normal, but weird things are happening to him.  First the bloody sheets and dead woman, then the sounds of baby tears, as well as blood pouring out the bottom of a baby bassinet. Unsettling.

Dean and Sam leave Bobby at the hospital, and head to Castle Storage to stop Megan from getting the Michael Sword. When they arrived, there were dead demons and the angels showed up and said they planted that evidence in the prophets head, and told Dean he was the Michael Sword.

After commercial break, the angels told him he is THE vessel, Michael’s vessel, and thats the only way he will stop Lucifer. Dean realized they were only there because they need his consent, when he said no, the angels blackmailed him with hurting Bobby, when he didn’t consent, they gave him stomach cancer, and Dean still didn’t budge, so they collapsed Sam’s lungs.

That is when Castiel showed up and did some major angel butt whooping. He freaked the angel out, and fixed the brothers temporarily.  He gave them a symbol carved into their ribs that hides them from angels, including Lucifer…that’s convenient.

Back to Nick’s story.  He dreamed that his dead wife showed up and said she was an angel named Lucifer. He made a crack of that, and then Lucifer told him that he was going to be his vessel. Like the devil would, he made himself look like a human being that needs sympathy, and that God has been over-hyped, and is actually pretty cruel. He did a great job at convincing Nick that he is a good guy, and because of his terrible past, he said yes. Then the bright lights showed up. Cause everybody knows possession means bright lights

We return from the commercial break with Bobby at the hospital. They are all confused on what to do.  Bobby suggests just saving as many people as they can, and figure out the rest from there.  Dean’s all like, lets kill the Devil and Michael and whoever else they need to.  Before they left, Bobby stopped Sam, and apologized what he said earlier, and that it was the demon…very heartfelt. Outside, when Sam suggested going after the Colt, Dean said everything he said back there was for Bobby’s benefit.  He will fight, but he has to be honest with himself, there’s no way he’s going to defeat Satan. We have a Winchester moment next with Dean being dissaproving of his brother, as always.  Saying “We can never be what we were” and “I just don’t think I can trust you” before walking off and ending the episode.
