Supernatural 'Heart': It'll tear yours out. Literally.
Happy Sunday afternoon evening. :) I am way behind on this post, but it took awhile to put together (I HATE HTML WITH A FIERY PASSION). Well, we didn't have a new episode this week, so maybe this will help with the withdrawal.
First of all, I love that Emmanuelle Vaugier was the monster of the week. She's sort of the CW It Girl, having been in Smallville, Veronica Mars and Charmed (in fact, she could have easily been Paige-she looks so much like her in some shots, it's kind of freaky. I'd seek out an appropriate cap for comparison, but there are surprisingly few Charmed caps out there. At least, for the episode she was in). With the episode set in San Francisco, it especially reminds me of that show. (Why San Francisco, anyway? The boys usually visit smaller towns, not cities.) She did a great job as the werewoman, only I don't like the name Madison (maybe I associate it with VM's Madison too much. Ha - does that mean I could tell she was going to be evil, based on her name? Well, that, and I think giving kids a last name as a first name is stupid and pretentious, but I digress). And she's Canadian too, so woo! Boy has good taste.
"Here he is, Detective."
Come on, now. Does this guy really look like a detective to you, lady? Where's the uniform? Where's the badge? People fall for those puppy dog eyes so easily, don't they?
"Dean, could you be a bigger geek about this?"
Did you not hear him, Sam? They're werewolves! Badass killing machines!
"Oookay, Sparky. And you know what? After we kill it, we can go to Disneyland!"
Heh. I just love the delivery of that line.
Yeah, he's totally not crazy at all.
"You get a few scotches in him and he'd start hitting on anyone in five mile radius. You know the type." "Yeah I do."
This is so cute - Dean's thinking, "This Nate sounds like a cool guy"...
...until he realizes Sam is talking about him.
Hey!
"Think he's our dog-face boy?"
You know what the funny thing is? This is not the first time Jensen has worked with a dog boy. What are the odds of that?
See? Awww.
And doesn't he just look thrilled?
He's totally, shamelessly checking out her ass here. "Not bad!"
"Dude, why do you always get to hang out with the girls?""'Cause I'm older."
Do you get the feeling Dean used that excuse a lot when they were kids?
Rock Paper Scissors! OMG, adorable. *loves*
Aww. Poor nervous, sexually frustrated Sammy.
There's nothing more blatant than a woman folding her frilly undies in front of you that says she's inviting you into her pants.
Awkward.
"What a bitch!"
Hee! Sam watching soaps is such crack. It's like an idea right out Plastic Winchester Theatre or something.
Don't they make a cute couple?
Oh, Dean. Always with the strippers.
I can't help but be reminded of another Dark angel scene. You know the one, from the strip club...
I love this shot. It may be my favourite of the episode. I don't know why. I think it's because of the symbolism of it, the way it shows how solitary Dean is. Or that could just be me reading too much into things, as usual.
Oh Noes!
Look, it's the return of Psycho!Sammy!
"Maybe I understand her."
Parallels, anyone? You know, Sam and Dean have both been posessed before, so why wouldn't they know how it feels? I mean, they might not remember what happened, but they would remember not having control over what they were doing, right?
Hey, how come Sam didn't become a werewolf too, if he was scratched? Is he somehow immune?
"So, I'm just going to go back to the hotel and watch some pay-per-view or something..."
Dean is just a little too excited about his brother finally getting laid.
"That was...smooth."
"Look, I know I scare the scare the crap out of you, all right? I mean, I tied you to a chair." "That's right up there with me sctratching you in the face."
Ah, bondage, scratches...just more wonderfully weird Winchester fetishes. ;)
I forgot how ripped Jared is. Look at those muscles! Damn! Is it hot in here?
Nipples!
This looks like a painting.
Does this mean having sex turns you into a monster? 'Cause I'll be kind of offended if that's the case.
And this is where things turn tragic...
"This is the way you can save me."
And then Dean takes the gun. He's even willing to kill for Sam, to save him that pain. That's just...wow. I have no words.
But he has to go through with it...and now I'm crying. Are you happy, show?
The one perfect tear. The flinch. The shot. Fade to black.
This is kind of the quintessential Supernatural episode. It had everything an episode should have: a little gore, funny moments, the brothers acting adorable, Sam being sensitive and Dean being horny, some sex thrown in for good measure...and then BAM! The angst and the tragedy hits you upside the head. I liked the idea of the different ways hearts can be broken too - they can be physically ripped out, or they can feel like they have been, and either way, it hurts just the same.
I'm glad Sam got some, and I'm glad it was with Madison. I just hope some day he gets a girl who isn't killed. He deserves it. Do you think maybe now he'll stop asking Dean to kill him? I hope so. This does change things. Unfortunately, we still have a couple weeks to find out, because the show's on another break now. Even though we just had one. WTF, CW?
I'd like to thank extremefangirl and marishna for the caps. I couldn't have done this without them. I tried capping this, and it was surprisingly hard to do with an .avi file. I don't know if I was just using the wrong program or what, but it's a lot easier to do with DVDs. I'll leave you with a few parting shots of pretty:
Random prettiness

The lights make him look like he has a halo.
