Whenever I am sad I just think about Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister for Magic, having to explain the wizarding world to new elected Prime Minister Hugh Grant in Love Actually
this might actually beat Arthur Weasley watching Mythbusters for Happiest Thing.
This episode was SO ROMANTIC. Like, seriously, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, how do the creators of the show explain away the COMPLETELY RAMPANT ROMANTICISM of the Dean & Cas storyline just in this episode alone? You can’t! You cannot make a convincing argument at all. There is no way that this level of explicitly romantic tropes are applied– to these characters, their story, and their relationship in not only the writing, but the lighting, the cinematography, the editing, and (yes) the acting of this episode– and it is somehow accidental. There is just no way! I mean, Dean standing in the darkness, extreme close up of his anguished face, lit as though by the moon, rain pours down outside, he watches it fall down the window as he thinks but cannot bring himself to speak about what happened to Cas, a flash of lightning illuminates his sad eyes as the storm rages outside– that is some Wuthering Heights bullshit right there, are you fucking shitting me?
