Supernatural 04x01: Lazarus Rising
SO. Here are my thoughts as the ep plays, with a coherent set at the end. I'm cutting spoilers, so no worries for my fellow fangirls.
Um. The whole buried thing? That kinda freaks me out... I don't understand how you can dig yourself out from that.
Gruff sexy voiced Dean? Yes please and thankyou. Can he do that all season? Is it just me, or does he look amazing this season? I'm such a Dean fangirl, it's not even funny.
I <3 Bobby. Throwing the holy water in his face? Hilarious.
[commerical break ARGH!]
Is it just me, or is Sam being kinda shifty? I kinda don't trust him, though OMG that hug was amazing. I'm pretty sure the "Are you guys together?" was total fan service. Though I'm not going to complain.
...SAMMY? WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DEAN IS ALONE AND THE TV TURNED ON!
Again. <3 Bobby.
[commerical break ARGH!]
[BACK BACK BACK]
When demons get scaried, it's something to worry about.
YES SAM USE YOUR POWERS.
Ruby? Really? Well, maybe she'll be a little better actress, though I kinda liked S3 Ruby.
Hee, I love impatient!Dean.
Dude... Is it bad that I really want this guy to be an angel?
[commerical break ARGH!]
THERE'S ONLY 10 MINUTES LEFT!
WHEN WILL THIS COMMERICAL BE OVER?!
[BACK BACK BACK]
ANGEL ANGEL ANGEL I KNEW IT!
Oh Dean, why can't you believe in good? It breaks my heart for him. Dean, the world needs you!
....
Okay, so here's what I'm thinking, in a more coherent form...
I came into this episode completely unspoiled. After years of HP, I'm pretty good at staying away from them. I knew, almost from when we saw the handprint that it had to be an Angel... It has something to do with the touch of God, I guess? I don't know, I just got that feeling. Ruby comfirmed it for me, when she said it wasn't a Demon, and then when Angel Guy (who's name I've already forgotten) was able to walk RIGHT INTO THE BARN OMG... Well, Holy Symbols wouldn't hurt something that was, right? If there's anything I learned from D&D, it's that good can't be hurt by good.
It felt a little off to me, to have the boys so separate from each other. Aside from the HUG OF AWESOME, it felt like there was a giant wall between them, something that I don't think was ever there, even in the first ep, when they haven't seen each other in years. I realize they're doing this on purpose, because Sam's got a secret and now Dean's got a secret and secrets make people not trust each other, but I don't like it. *pout*
I really love that Sam is tapping into his Demon powers, though I'm a little but upset we didn't get the whole "Sam goes into the bowels of Hell and saves Dean" even while I love the ANGEL story arc instead.
This whole Angel thing makes my heart BREAK for Dean. It's so hard for me to believe in Good, and yet so easy for him to believe in Evil. I personally, don't believe that Evil can exist without Good, or Good without Evil, but Dean's been kicked so many times that all he can see is the Evil in the world. To be honest, I wonder if I could believe any differently.
I think the reason why I fangirl so hard for Dean and not Sam, is because Dean doesn't think he's good enough. He keeps trying, over and over again, doing everything in his power to be the savior, and yet he really doesn't think he deserves to have nice things. I love that he's got this martyr complex going on, and if that's not enough to make God save him, I don't know what else is... Dean fights Demons because it's the right thing to do, he risks his life over and over again because he knows if he can help one more person, even if he dies in the end, it's worth it. (And isn't that the reason why he gave up his soul for Sam?)
It's not that I don't think that Sam does the same thing, but Sam came back to hunting for revenge... It's since changed drastically since then, but I don't think Dean ever really paid much heed to the 'revenge' bit.
And in conclusion, it was weird watching SPN without giventofly37 and von_chan, but hopefully we can get a second viewing in this weekend (though now I'm not sure so sure, unless it's between 9pm and 10pm on Saturday...).
Also? I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!
Also Also? I think I might make some SPN icons... And maybe a new header...
