"Love's a heavy thing, too heavy for one heart to bring me your love."

Just a short entry to let you know I'm up-to-date with The Hour. That's 8 hours of marvellous television, best sleepless night ever. Now I'm in that sort of haze where my body needs more episodes, and I'm just sitting here with a dumb expression on my face counting down the hours until the next one. It's a lot of hours. *cries in her pillow*

But seriously, how brilliant is that show? And all the actors are SO GOOD, and Ben Whishaw is extraordinary, is it something in the water up there in Britain, is that why they have so many amazing actors? Or perhaps was it a deal with the devil? One does wonder.

This second season looks just as amazing, and rationally I admire them for choosing to change the tone of the show, and give it brand new themes and all. A small part of me, though, misses the spy story, and the MI6, and the Soviet agents, and squeeing out loud everytime they mentioned the James Bond novels. ^^

In other news, my aunt is coming next wednesday! We've decided we'll call my old-and-new oncologist together, so stay tuned for news on that front too.

The main problem there is that Cas has been substituting his Father with Dean, believing every word he says, following him and protecting him, and basically hanging on his every word, and now in 99 Problems Dean betrayed that trust. So heartbreaking! ;_; And the fallout is obviously going to be horrible...

Yes, I was thinking about that, too, the intensity of Cas's focus on Dean.

I also thought about the well done asymmetry this time: How hard Dean strives to always have Sam's trust, faith, support, you name it; he is so disappointed to discover that his brother's life doesn't zoom in on family and on him, that he isn't the center of Sam's world in a manner of speaking. While at the same time he is the center of Cas's—the fallout, I imagine, should showcase well that having someone hanging onto your every word is a double-edged sword.
