Howdy, o co-chair of squee!

All most excellent points, and if it unspools like this, I will be squeeing along with you. Did the ep have anvils? Sure. Could it have been done more delicately and gently if the episode was 3 hours long? Sure. But I'm good with it. I'm filled with happy happy happy over it. As I mentioned over in my "review" (cough), if the similarities between Dean and Ben had been more subtle, Dean would have needed days to notice them. But it's a 39 minute story. So - anvil. It's television. Anvils abound.

"the idea that the world has already been saved because Dean let the intended future Lord of the Underworld have the last of the Lucky Charms makes me grin"
Hee. Me too.

Oh, I know, and it was funny, too. And the kid had a toy Impala (I think must watch again) which I may have made silly noises over.

Could it have been done more delicately and gently if the episode was 3 hours long?

Oh please? Can we have 3 hour long episodes, canwecanwecanwe??? If I became a billionaire tomorrow, I would buy the CW, have it simul-cast world wide (ditch half their other programming) and make every episode of Supernatural three hours long so the writers can take their time to explore stuff more subtly. *nods*

*grins back at your grinning back*

(You realize this may start a vicious circle, and neither of us may ever stop grinning...) ;-)

Oh, have no fear, for I am bipolar, and sooner or later a depressive episode is bound to kick in. :)

Much as I'm a total sucker for a dark fate, the idea that the world has already been saved because Dean let the intended future Lord of the Underworld have the last of the Lucky Charms makes me grin.

You win. That is all.

caffienekitty October 12 2007, 16:16:39 UTC

Yay! I win! *giggle*

ant3ka October 12 2007, 13:36:03 UTC

No, really, I have more to say. :)

I think Ben had to be over-the-top in the beginning to make a point, and make that point quickly. Once he settled down and started acting like a real kid I thought he was fine.

I also would like to bow down to your massive intuition that knew Ruby was a demon. *high five* What are next week's Lotto numbers? :)

I think you're right on the money as far as Ruby's role. It's pretty well established that Sam is going to do ANYTHING for Dean. The questions is, how far can Ruby push him? With Dean's life on the line, I think pretty far. This should be a good season. I can't wait to see what's coming up for us. :)

caffienekitty October 12 2007, 16:23:30 UTC

Heh, cool! I don't often see you comment on my stuff, so twice on one post is kinda nifty!

*nods at the rationale for Ben being over the top*

Ha! Unfortunately, I have no clue. However, if they were part of a TV plot-twist or character development, I might be able to figure them out.

This should be a good season. I can't wait to see what's coming up for us. :)

Oh hell yeah! :-D

"Much as I'm a total sucker for a dark fate, the idea that the world has already been saved because Dean let the intended future Lord of the Underworld have the last of the Lucky Charms makes me grin." -- This sentence had me giggling. Awesome.

*grins* *wriggles with glee*
