9x09 - Costly, Being a Hero

I didn't even realize it was the mid-season finale this week. Pardon my ignorance. Nonetheless, I would have expected grand things if I had known. I didn't and I was, well, thunderstruck in figurative but very far-reaching terms. 😳

There hasn't been an episode thus far which made me feel as sorry as I feel now. Dean's guilt trips are never pretty to watch. When it becomes only too clear what a sorry mess Sam is, it's heartbreaking all the same. Not to forget the whole thing that Castiel's damned fate is! And then, hey did I mention? Kevin just dies. In my opinion, this is what it is. If you're a hero, you've gotta pay really heavy prices every now and then. 😳

The episode had too many things running at once. But it all made piercing sense. Metatron and the angels at each other's throats and the overwhelming pity in the pit of my stomach seeing Sam where he was, it was just so much. One second I was laughing hard at Cas being back in town, the next I was gaping at the screen when every angel was killing every angel. Then Zeke ain't frigging Zeke. He's Gadreel. I wasn't even done getting over how I was feeling for Sam when angels started cutting into Castiel's body. Could I feel sorrier for anybody? Guess I could. For, exactly minutes from when Kevin tells Dean that he always trusts him and then ends up screwed, he's sorta wasted, murdered by Gadreel. 💔

I won't say I felt even sorrier for Dean at the end of the episode. But it was overwhelming in the sense that Sam's condition, Castiel's struggle and Kevin's murder were pretty much on him. Sam needed to be saved so Cas couldn't live with them. Sam needed to be warned so Kevin had to look for spells and make sigils ASAP. It really is all on Dean and there goes my heart grinding outta my chest. Too dramatic, okay but this really is the limit. But that's the cost you've gotta pay for being a hero. And lastly too damn right, angels are watching over you'. The story is gonna keep us all at the edge and all. 🐷 So, I wanna say that the writers were amazing. So was Jared Padalecki more than anyone for his flawless portrayal of Sam and Gadreel/Zeke. 👏

Kevin needs to be brought back. No R.I.P, no, Sir.

Epiphany.

I am a bawling mess. And sorry for the language but I refuse to take this SHIT. Kevin cannot be dead. NO. NEVER. I think Imma take ages to recover from the devastation of this HUGE kind. 😳

HE BETTER BE BACK. Or I might just go kill every character out there. Not that I really can but yeah, WHATEVER.
