Bad Day? Make That Week

Oct 13, 2006 22:32

Well it’s Friday the thirteenth. However, it wasn’t really bad luck for me. It actually wasn't that bad, compared to the rest of the week. Considering this was the week from hell, I thought that today being what is thought of as a bad luck day would be the grand finale of the week.

This week was a short week so I figured it wouldn't be so bad and it would fly by. I was wrong. So very wrong. Things started to go sour when my Shakespeare teacher gave a surprise quiz. Now I had mentioned this before that her surprise quizzes aren't really surprises anymore since she gives one practically every class. I was prepared for a quiz that day, just not a quiz on what she gave the quiz on. Before we start reading a new play in the class, she gives us some pre-reading to do that is supposed to introduce us to the play. Well I did that reading and I was all set for her to quiz us on it. So then I thought I would just read the first act of the play. I was thinking I was ahead of the game. So I go to class and she gets all giddy, telling us to clear our desks. *rollseyes* So she puts the quiz in front of us and I look down to find out it is a freaking quiz on Acts I-III of Titus Andronicus! I'm like WTH! So of course I only know the stuff from the first act of the play. I knew I failed horribly. I sat there in stunned silence for the rest of the class. I could not focus at all. I was seething with anger and I felt really hurt too. Then I go home and I really needed a shoulder to cry on I guess so I tell my mom. She was a big comfort, if you consider telling someone "What happened to you" comforting. She made me feel worse. I should have known though that she would be pissed about the grade. She is all about the grades. I'm like, how was I supposed to know! So the next day I was starting to accept that I had failed and I tried to tell myself that it was just a quiz. I could make up for it. I really did want straight A's though this semester. I thought I was doing pretty good overall so far with grades, so I was pretty miserable that it got all screwed up. Anyway, the teacher had to make it worse. She hands me back the quiz and she says what my mother said practically verbatim, "Devan, what happened to you." I felt like putting my head down on the desk and crying. I decide to go up there after class and tell her that it was not on the syllabus that we had to even begin reading Titus at all, so that's why I did so badly. She says to me, "Well it was implied." Implied! WTF is that supposed to mean?!?! Now here I am thinking I am over it and I am getting all bent out of shape again. I was going to post about this in my journal the day it happened but I figured it might be an incoherent mess of profanity, so I decided to hold off on it until the wounds weren't so fresh. Now I am getting angry again. *Takes deep breath* Okay, now I am ready to talk about the rest.

So no that isn't all that happened this week. My dumbass Writing teacher assigned us each a topic and we had to come up with a thesis on the topic. He told me mine wasn't that "interesting". It just makes me so mad. Then my stupid, demented computer had another meltdown. I wanted to download a song off of Itunes to make a vid. Itunes tells me I must upgrade to the latest version to do so. So I upgrade and my computer freezes. Once I restart, a massive chunk of memory is just gone. Damn it! Come back memory, come back.

The only good thing about this whole week was that Supernatural was on.



Once again, the episode was amazing. This season is just going great so far. I was personally slightly worried about a possible sophomore slump after the disaster that was season two of another show. *CoughOneTreeHillCough* However, I think this season might turn out to be even better than last season.

I loved the beginning when Sam and Dean were posing as reporters. When the cop asked what newspaper they were from and this ensued:

Dean: World Weekly News
Sam: Weekly World News
Dean: World
Sam: Weekly World
Dean: I’m New

HA! I just love how the writers manage to mix in the humor with the angst. It is such a good balance. I loved when they posed as doctors too. Two disguises in one episode. Yay!

These were some great lines from that scene:

Dean: Open it
Sam: You open it.
Dean: Wuss.

Sam: Dean, get me the bucket
Dean: Find something?
Sam: No, I’m gonna puke.

Dean: Lift her lip up again
Sam: What, you want me to puke?

LMAO! I liked how they were both grossed out.

The part with Dean killing the vampire was chilling. When Dean brought that chainsaw down on the vampire, slowly decapitating him, and getting covered in blood, I cringed. Sam looked at him like, “Bro it’s like I don’t even know you anymore.”

My favorite moments are always the brotherly ones so I loved this:
Gordon: Well lighten up a little Sammy.
Sam: He’s the only one who gets to call me that.

I just love how Sam likes the nickname now. In season one, he used to correct Dean when he called him Sammy. It's so cute.

I actually don’t think I mind Ellen. Anyone who calls Sam “Sweetie” can’t be all bad lol.

The parts that had me the most nervous were the ones that seemed to foreshadow something going on with Sam. When Gordon is saying that Sam isn’t much like him and Dean and they have it in their blood to be hunters, they played that ominous music. Then Dean looked down like he knows something. Oh please please please don’t let Sam be demonspawn.

I loved loved when Sammy defended himself against the vamps. He looked all “Aha I got you”. Then the poor thing got clocked with a phone. Tied up, kidnapped Sam is hot though so no complaints from me.

I loved Sam's laugh in the face of danger attitude when he was held captive. You could still see the fear was there though when Eli bared his fangs. This was funny:
Sam: Talk? Yeah, okay but I might have a tough time paying attention to much besides Eli’s teeth.

The lack of trust in this episode was obvious. Sam was turning to Ellen who he doesn’t even know. Dean was trusting Gordon who he doesn't know either. I think Sam felt betrayed by Dean. He couldn't turn to him, and Dean was taking Gordon's word over his. Dean and Sam should always trust each other, first and foremost.

I think I like that Sam sees things in shades of gray. I liked this scene:
Dean: If it’s Supernatural, we kill it. End Of Story. That’s our job.
Sam: No Dean. That is not our job. Our job is hunting evil, and if these things aren’t killing people, they are not evil.

This was the most intense moment of the episode:
Sam: You don’t think I can see what this is. He’s a substitute for dad isn’t he? A poor one. He’s not even close Dean, not on his best day. You know you slap on this big fake smile, but I can see right through it. I know how you feel Dean. Dad’s dead. He left a hole and it hurts so bad you can’t take it but you can’t just fill that hole with whoever you want to. It’s an insult to his memory.

Then Dean punched Sam! Gasp!
I love when Sam responded and said this, "You can hit me all you want but it won’t change anything".

Sam looked so hurt. He didn't even try to fight back because he knows what Dean is going through. That part also showed that Dean was wrong because Sam knew exactly how he was feeling. Sam's words reflect what Dean said earlier to Gordon about the hole he has inside of him. I was a little perturbed to hear people say Sam deserved it, because he didn't. I kind of get where some people are coming from though that Sam wanted to elicit a response from Dean. I think he wanted Dean to own up to his feelings, but I don't know if he wanted a fist in the face lol. I liked how even after everything, Sam was willing to help Dean. He told him the info about the nest and he wouldn't let him go alone. Now of course it could be argued that Sam wanted to go along because he wanted to protect the vampires. However, Dean could still just start killing them even if Sam was there. Sam still believed he could get through to Dean. I liked when Sam told Dean the info and Dean said, "You’re good. You’re a monster pain in the ass, but you’re good."

What scared me was when Dean had that look of foreboding when Gordon said he killed his sister because she wasn't human anymore. I pray Sam is human and not demonspawn. I can't reiterate enough that I don't want Sammy to be part demon. I am wondering if the shades of gray thing is all foreshadowing about it though too, like Dean has to see things in shades of gray now or else he would have no choice but to kill Sam.

I loved how Dean kicked serious butt and taught Gordon a lesson. I would have liked Dean to tell Gordon that he doesn't know anything about him and his brother, because if he did he would know that no one messes with Sam.

This had me a bit worried too.
Dean: I might be like you. I might not.
Is Dean saying he might be like Gordon because he might have a sibling who isn't entirely human?

I liked Dean's "apology" at the end too. Telling Sam he could hit him was his way of saying sorry. I like how Sam said, "You look like you just went twelve rounds with a block of cement. I’ll take a rain check." Sam was so sweet, but I think he will get his payback sometime in the future lol.

This was my favorite part:
Dean: That’s cause you’re a pain in my ass.
Sam: Guess I might have to stick around and be a pain in the ass then.
Dean: Thanks.
Sam: Don’t mention it.

Awwwwwwwwwww!

When Dean looked in the camera, I was getting that bad "Sammy might be demonspawn" feeling again. Then I figured Dean looked like that because he feels guilty that he is keeping things from his brother.

Next week's episode is going to be great too. I'm spoiled so I know ;)

I'm happy now too that I finally have my ELAC torrent and I can make a vid. Whoever took the time to read this, thanks for listening :)

It's the weekend again. I think they need to mandate three day weekends though. Eliminate Mondays as school days and work days all together. It would be so nice lol.
