Episode 127 - 7.01 Meet the New Boss

Same as the old boss... (won't get fooled again... *screaming*)

Welcome to season seven, where they could've done something truly great but instead did this... We could've had a season of Godstiel, trying to save Cas from himself and Leviathan Possession, but no. Though the specific *way* they screwed this up becomes the foundation for the relationship between Dean and Cas for the rest of the series, so at least we have that.

And isn't it a LOT easier to watch s7 knowing that going in? I think so!

Plus Death is in this one, and I adore that guy. At least as much as I really don't like Lucifer-- even this imaginary version currently plaguing poor Sam.

At least we have one more episode with Cas, even if he's really going through it. And I'm gonna spend a lot of s7 referencing s15. Partly because Chuck seemed really enamored with the Leviathan as a monster, but also because it feels very relevant to Chuck's Favorite Story in a lot of ways.

Not knowing what’s real anymore, pointing a gun at your brother, and your brother telling you to put it down and let him be stone number one:

Sam in 7.01 🤝 Dean in 15.17

as a wise man once said "anyone in their right mind would bend over for cas"

i wanna know what the fuck leviathan guy was thinking when dean and cas were acting out a soap opera behind him on the way to find some rotting monster corpse

OMG. RIGHT?!

First off, high five for the phrasing in your question, I lol’ed. :’D

But I think it’s incredible how Dean and Cas had established, presumably via silent communication, that entire plan to “entrap” the leviathan who’d been following them, only for that guy to lead THEM into a trap... 

Leviathans as monsters are always interesting to me, if for no other reason than the fact that at one point, Cas had every last one of them inside of him. They literally know him, inside and out. But like so many other beings who thought they “knew” Cas, they didn’t really understand him, you know?

Metatron, Lucifer, Zachariah, Naomi, and now even Chuck have all failed to truly understand Cas, and in the end, it’s how Cas was able to make his escape, and pull another “I’ll just wait here then” for Dean.

Heck, have I mentioned how much this episode reflected 5.04? How this was Sam’s “false and manipulative peek at a horrific and hopeless future” in much the same way Zachariah tried to convince Dean of his future?

so... Cas waiting for Dean by the portal, and Dean “keeping his appointment” and returning just in time (nice timing!), but so far out with so many years of growing understanding between them, it’s... thinking back to “Don’t ever change” and seeing just how much both of them have changed and grown, heck I’m falling apart here, so I’m gonna go lie down and wail into a pillow for a while.

I need to quit watching the beginning of spn 7.01.  Just skip it from now on.  Every time I watch Dean berate Sam for things he can’t control, it just irritates me more.  I know he’s afraid and that’s how it manifests, but Sam is so beaten down sitting there hearing the devil tell him that what is happening had to be crappy so he would believe it was his life and Dean is just making that more real in Sam’s head.
