10/31 SPN

How can a show going on nine years old suddenly become so good again? Is it just me being sentimental, with the return of the fundamental Supernatural "he ain't heavy he's my brother" theme? I really enjoyed 9x01.

Edited to add this because it's the perfect accompaniment to my nostalgic, fannish feelings this evening.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it as well. Despite all the angels in the story, it felt more solidly Dean+Sam than it has recently. Watching Castiel drink water was ridiculously interesting and I had to laugh at the biker saying 'I'm going to finish this call, then I'm going to stab you.' Yeah, I'm cranky when I'm interrupted on the phone too. :)

I need to go back and rewatch that moment where Castiel drinks water for the first time.

I loved the part where Cas puts his clothes in the washer and realizes that he has to choose between clean clothes and something to eat. It was well written, acted, and edited. A whole lot of plot and character unfolded in that simple, clear, wordless scene.

Jared Padalecki was live-tweeting the episode on West Coast time, so it was extra fun to read his comments about it, particularly how much he enjoyed playing Ezekiel, and some of the deep thought he put into his acting decisions.
