Dear Jared Padalecki,
Stop being such an amazing actor. You are freaking me the fuck out.
Terrified love,
affably

Okay, to be fair, I've been consistently shocked and impressed with Jensen Ackles' acting, commenting on it every time I can draw breath, etc. Everything I've seen him in I've seen a completely different character that curiously resembles another, his ability to cry (and make truckers cry) is amazing and awesome — this episode included. I never had any doubts about the differences between future!Dean and our Dean; it was so easy to delineate between them, their changes — though not as um, cosmeticly obvious as Castiel's (I'll get to that in a sec), the hardness... it was so easy to buy and also to keep them separated.
But that scene between him and LuciSam? Chilling. I think what freaked me out was the way that Sam's mouth kept starting to twitch into a smile and kind of pulled down into a bit of a sneer? While still staying so mild and gentle and sympathetic and certain. As
serrico mentioned, we've now seen four incarnations of Lucifer and they've all come across the same. It was amazing.
Castiel ahaha I hope I never see him again in our timeline, though I did love him very much it was so depressing to see him have so much of nothing. I also got a sense of him subtextually protecting our Dean, moreso than Future!Dean — not only recognizing him right away, but running out after him when the team gets back, sitting in front of him across from Future!Dean during the war counsel, riding with him on the way there (should he be driving?). Though that may have been me projecting a bit; I enjoyed his "What? I like past you." quite a bit.
Sam I hope I never have to see you as Lucifer again even though I kind of really want to because you were so amazing as him. Dammit! Also: hotter than fire, even as your scare me. His suit is how I will henceforth try to imagine sparkly vampires. Except bettah. But GOOD FOR YOU for calling your brother asap and telling him about your stalker. I AM PROUD OF YOU.
Oh, and again to note on Jensen Ackles: not only did they seem totally different, there was no like scenic tightness issues with playing two parts (the blue screen of acting at yourself and waiting to hear yourself reply problems that tend to feel very off) — his timing and responsiveness to himself; I was very impressed and had no problem believing that there were two Deans in the same room. Massive kudos to you sir.
Dean, I'd choose you over Christian Bale or whoever to be my John Connor leader-of-the-resistance any day. Even if you're likely to shoot me. :D As far as the panties thing goes,Kripke BEN, STOP READING FANFIC.
The caaaaaar. Okay yes I might have let out a horrified moan when I saw it. How awesome is this show that the car is totally the third member of their family? IMPALA > TARDIS x 9000
ALSO: YES CROATOAN! I KNEW that we'd get that dealt with/explained/used later. Gosh Kripke you are pretty damn good at tying the ends together and scattering these wonderful mysteries like breadcrumbs. I WILL SEE YOU AT THE GINGERBREAD CASTLE, SIR.
I believe in the power of Winchester love to stick it to everybody else. In this scenario, everyone who is a human or helping humans can contribute.
Now I'm off to listen to the Evil!Sam mix for like 10 million hours.
