SPN Reaction: Episode 3.03 - Detailed spoilers for that episode
OMFG YAY!!!!
I have no coherence, coherence has gone byebye. I think I freaking injured myself flailing so hard! So, uh, since I have no coherence, I'm just gonna go through the ep and make random statements and flail some more, okay? Okay.
-GORDON!!!! Still a nutbag! Yay!
-OMG Sam told Dean about the demon chick, but not about the whole 'everyone mom knew is dead' thing I don't think, but still that's like a major OMG! Sam told Dean about her!!! And she finally has a name! Ruby.
-Kubrick is a FREAK!!! Who is that actor and where have I seen him before, it's driving me nuts! And did he say "St. Helen's big" referring to the volcanic eruption or "St. Helena's big" referring to some unknown other big thing?
-The cigar box in the glove compartment!!! The cigar box in the glove compartment!!! PROP CONTINUITY FROM THE FIRST FREAKING EPISODE FTW!!! *flails!*
-JOHN'S FRIGGING STORAGE UNIT!!! *flails again!*
-"Don't play with my Jesus." Hee!
-Warthog skull!! With a gun! That looks effectively strapped in with metal strapping!
-Trivia Point: In 1995, Sam's team made Division Championship in soccer. He'd have been 11 or 12. John kept the trophy! In a lockup with weapons and cursed items and a freaking coffin but... OOO! *kicking away a wave of evil evil nasty plotbunnies*
-Other Trivia Point: Dean made his first sawed-off shotgun in grade six! Which I can believe.
-Third trivia point: John's storage unit is freaking HUGE Seriously, I paid fifty bucks a month for a glorified closet once, that thing's MASSIVE! Either he did a huge favour for someone who owned the place once (maybe it used to be a haunted storage unit??) or he pre-paid some serious coin on that thing. I've lived in smaller apartments! :-D I really hope it returns, or at the very least the boys restock from there or something because I want to poke around in there! I want a Flash version of that storage unit to play with! :-D
-Who is Grossman and why does he look so familiar. Did he play Evan in "Crossroad Blues"? No... Where is he from? Arg.
-Grossman and the guy that got skewered with a roasting fork \o/ whose name I missed could totally have a little prequel spin-off about being the bagmen for a relic hunter. I liked their little dynamic.
-Upsidedown horseshoe over the Grossman/other guy apartment door!!! No wonder he bit it so fast after he lost the foot! Hee! I love the set design people on this show!!!
-BOBBY!!! YAY BOBBY!!! Never ever go away!
-Biggerson's website has the fastest Webmaster and propogation rate, like, ever. I've uploded site changes that take a couple days to clear. Unless it's the restaurant's blog, which seems a bit odd, but *shrug* Meh. It's the foot! Blame it on the foot!
-Hey, the boys still have that free food for a year thing, right? Are we going to see a recurring Biggerson's set, since they probably look the same all over the country? Ooo! And that Rolex! That'll keep them fed and gassed up for a while! :-D
-I love every single one of Sam's pratfalls. All of them.
-Dean's first "You're a thief, not a killer" speech!!!!! O. M. G. Seriously!!! Wow!
-Sam! Gum! Shoe! All of Sam's little bits behind Dean's phone conversation!
-Bobby called Dean "Ijit" *Flails again some more!*
-"I lost my shoe." Sam's face OMG Sam's face! Hee!
-Dean facing off with Bela with the guns and the verbal sparring type stuff! YAY!! And Dean snuck in behind her! \o/
-Amusing thing I just discovered looking up the actress playing Bela, she graduated from Winchester University in the UK. HA!! It's like fate or something. :-D
-Sam in the hotel with the air conditioner!!!!
-I love that Supernatural has toughened up Padalecki! There's a clip out there somewhere of him being all freaky about being sprayed with hot wax for "House of Wax" aaaages ago. Now? Wax, schmax! We set him on fire, dudes! Woohooo!! \o/
-I... I think I like Bela.... Seriously. If she comes back, I wouldn't mind. I suspect she'll be coming back. I'm also highly curious about her buyer...
-Yay for marginally more effective depiction of restraint than has been seen previously on this show! Though seriously, you need to actually go around more of the torso than that... What? Oh nothing! DUCT TAPE FTW! \o/
-"Anyhoo!" Dean with the foot in Bela's place! "Seeya!" Bwee!
-"I'm on a mission from God." Blues Brothers line, wasn't that? I kept expecting Kubrick's little shadow (another name I missed) to be a demon, judging solely from some of the cutting back and forth during the interrogation of Sam. I think we'll be seeing these guys again, maybe heading a Sam-focussed lynch mob with Gordon, nu? I would like to note that I hope a person of religion is seen somewhere in a positive light this season to balance out this nutbar. He doesn't bother me, but I can see how some people might be bothered.
-THE PEN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, oh my. I think that was where I sustained a flail-related injury! No, wait, it was-
-"I'M BATMAN!!!!" *glee!* Not enough win in the freaking world!
-Given that this show started out on the WB, I would have been very dissapointed if they hadn't worked in a Bugs Bunny ref. *nods*
-I love that for Dean's second "You're a thief, not a killer" speech, Ackles cheeses it up like crazy, so that when Bela shoots Sam, it's that much more of a 'Okay, done playing games now thanks' moment. Eee!
-"Wow. I really don't feel bad about that." "Nope." Hee!
-So very unsurprised at the pocket picking, but I am quite thrilled the actress actually showed a little bit of finger wiggle at the start. Hee. Bela reminds me of, okay, this'll be obscure, that reporter-thief chick from an anime called "Lupin III" Anyone? Just me? 'kay. I really think I like her...
-You know you're insane when Gordon does the 'nod and smile' thing at you. Kubrick is a lunatic, and Gordon thinks so too! Gordon's so gonna break out of jail! I am so glad I don't have to work tomorrow because I may be up all night squeeing my brains out!!!
-This ep was awesome, in that is was a fun, whacky, cracky ride, but within the confines of a reasonable plot which required whacky and cracky, and added elements to advance the larger storyline several ways.
In conclusion:
-OMG YAY!!! *glomphs show*
