I’m pretty sure that some people are gonna be rlly rlly mad about these turn of events, and I would happily go research the calls of the fangirls and boys out on the interwebz, but it seems as though the great web master in the sky has smote me and pretty much every site I love has been cast down in the past few weeks by bugs and viruses and the like. So I am gonna speculate like mad and say that the new batcave for the beautiful brothers is going to have many calling the call of shark jumping.*
Me? I think it’s pretty cool. We’ve had seven seasons of dread and misery and leaning on Bobby and dirty cabins and such, and I think those Winchester boys deserve something nice for once. I mean, they only averted the apocalypse, and went to hell, and had everyone they love either die or turn on them. Sam says what I am thinking, “We have been hopnig for a break, maybe this is it.” I say, put up your feet Sam and Dean, and enjoy a little pampering. We all know it won’t last anyhow. Or will it?
So, this episode we have a golem who is pretty awesome, his nebbish owner, Aaron, and a bunch of damn Nazi’s. Necromancing Nazi’s even!
So here’s the skinny: the SuperSecret Men of Letters bunker/club house is awesome, and the Library of the Ages lets Sam get all bookish and research-y, introducing us to whole new levels of secret societies. The ones introduced in this episode (and I’m guessing there will be others) is the rabbinical group known as the Judah Initiative, and the Nazi bastards known as the Thule Society.
We have a Rabbi (Mr. Hal Linden, aka Barney Miller!) who is part of this ancient Jewish group, who goes up in flames one night in a pub, leading our boys to lovely Wilkes-Barre, P.A. While investigating the combusted rabbi at the pub, Dean reacts to the grandson of the burnt Rabbi, Aaron, hitting on him, giving us one of the least homophobic reactions from Dean yet. It’s nice to see that boy grow, and maybe even be flattered by the same-sex attention.
Anyway, Aaron is the owner of his Grandfathers golem, and the boys, after being attacked by said golem, team up with Aaron to get those Nazi bastards. After some wicked shenanigans and a really awesome standoff/fight scene, the evil Nazi gets it in the noggin, while his lackey runs away to tell the tale. So we have possibly two recurring character in Aaron and his golem, and god knows how many other Thule members waiting in the wings. The more the merrier!
As for the boys’ new digs. It’s large and covered in marble and hardwoods and cast iron and is lovely! It also is powered by some mystery source, has awesome water pressure in the showers, and by the end of the episode, is equipped with a mini-fridge full of beer. Hee. How long before Dean has a flat screen and cable run into the place? Sam seems to figured out a way to get WiFi, so anything is possible. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the place.
Major props to the wardrobe department who has put Dean in plaid this season, which looks yummy on him. Thank you, whoever you are! 🙂
Are Sam and Dean going to resurrect the Men of Letters? Are we going to have an epic Secret Society revolution on Supernatural? Maybe. It would bring this whole show to another level, which might be fun.
Next! Prophet Kevin has a breakthrough on the whole closing the Gates of Hell thing, so that will be nice.
* After doing a little fandom research, seems people are kind of cool with the new digs for the boys. YAY! Sometimes people surprize you, yes?
