Rewatch S7: Shut-Up, Dr. Phil (7x05)

Okay, time for Buffy people. I am one of those very very few people who are not Buffy fans. It's no fault of Buffy's of course. I just really hate vampire-centric shows. I'm racist against vampires really, it would be a huge character fault, if they were real...as it is, it just means that I can't enjoy a very small percentage of pop culture.

Anyway

Completely off-topic, but have you ever come across Livia Blackburne's blog? She blogs about writing and character analysis from a neuroscience perspective. She's not posting a lot at the moment due to her dissertation, but the way she presents stuff is fascinating to me. The awesomely analytical style kind of reminds me of the way you present stuff sometimes, and I've found a lot of her older posts interesting too.

Anyhoo, rewatch comments.

I love them talking down the two witches through couple's therapy. Like a lot of the episodes this season, I didn't think this was a bad episode, per say. It just didn't matter. I did love James Marsters in it though, his character cracked me up and I like the actor anyway.

And then Bobby dies, and Dean is all like KILL LEVIATHAN, and Sam is like, okay, but first GHOSTS AND SHIT! WOO! And Dean is like "UGH" And then Sam is like "NO I GO CRAZY" and Dean is like "OH NOW YOU WANT TO GO CRAZY?! WHERE WAS THE BUILD UP?! IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER EXCUSE TO NOT BE HUNTING LEVIATHAN THIS WHOLE TIME!" And we all agree with Dean.

Best summary ever.

Oooh, no I hadn't seen that blog before! Thanks! I've bookmarked it to check out. I love neuroscience and I love writing, so this definitely seems like a win-win blog to me! :)

I agree, it's not like this is a bad episode - it had some great funny bits in it. And I thought James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter did good jobs... but yeah, the only parts of it that really matter are in the first minute and the last two minutes.

Best summary ever.

Haha, thank you. *blushes*
