Supernatural, Episode Eight
WARNING: Due to a headache that's been going on for three hours now, my comments on tonight's episode may be excessively snarky and/or unnecessarily bitchy.
I hate bugs. I hate bugs. As in I'm terrified of them. Logically, as I am many times their size and can easily kill them, I should not be afraid of bugs, but logic has nothing to do with fear. Size doesn't help you if a bug happens to crawl into your ear or your nose or your mouth when you sleep.
Ugh.
I mean, okay, ants and little spiders, I can stand. But those huge fucking spiders that are as big as a quarter, and flying insects than can sting? Forget about me ever being calm around them, because it'll only happen in my dreams. If there's a bee, wasp, or any other flying stinger, I will scream at the top of my lungs and run the hell away. If a mosquito comes into my house, I will freak out and just start gibbering, swatting the air around me with a notepad until I finally get that sucker. And if I see a huge fucking spider around, I will very gingerly get the broom and usher it out, since I can't stand the squishy innards that will squirt out if I kill it. And I'll take twenty minutes doing it because I'll scramble away every time it so much as twitches at me.
That said, this episode creeped the hell out of me with all the bugs. And not in the good, spine-tingling way the other episodes creeped me out.
Okay, I admit, I laughed when the two of them went to the BBQ and the guy was all, "We accept all kinds of people here, even if they're gay." And they were all, "Uh...brothers." Actually, I snickered, but then when it happened with the real estate lady, I laughed, especially when Dean played it up, smacking Sam's butt as he walked away. Because, that is so Dean. Of course, then I cringed, because who knows what those weird incest!fic writers will do now? Ho!Yay is one thing, but Bro!Yay? Excuse us as everyone in the world who actually has a sibling takes a moment to hurl.
I'm really getting tired of Sam and his whining. Blah blah blah, normal is good, blah blah blah. Oh noes, why can't I just be normal with a normal life, blah blah blah. Daddy hated me cos I wanted to be normal, blah blah blah. God, Sam, you're cute, but shut the fuck up about it already. It was annoying when you complained about wanting a normal life - it's twice as fucking annoying when you start talking about how you were persecuted by your daddy for wanting to be normal. It's especially annoying because you're complaining about all this to Dean, who, as you learned from the shapeshifter, fucking wanted everything you got but never had a chance because he had to be the good son. So stop with the complaining about even though you got your normal, your life still sucks because daddy never liked it.
On the other hand, I really love Dean more and more every episode. Even though he's all rough around the edges, he really cares about his brother, and his dad. Even though he's got all those issues with his brother (and his dad), he's still putting aside his feelings and taking care of Sam. As always.
I'm totally waiting for a blow out. Seriously.
Um...about the episode itself... Okay, it did not take six hours for them to run up to the attic and cower. It's like, they just got to the attic, commercial break, and suddenly it's six hours later except we don't know it, so we're all like, "Whoa!" when the sun comes up in a second. Why did the bugs take so long to chew through the roof, anyway?
And, Dean, that whole fire-bug spray thing? So hot.
