AND THE JOINT POSTS RETURN and I can use my icon again, lol. Okay, apart from that, uuuhm, please no hating in the SPN review? I'm all for discussion but since I have a divided FL I'd really rather discuss it nicely. ;)
1. DAMON, ALARIC AND ELENA WERE ON A ROAD TRIP.
Did anything else happen?
2. Right, Alaric was all chill with Damon re killing people and they eyefucked a couple times. I approve.
3. Okay, I also approve of Stefan and Caroline discussing bunnies.
4. I don't exactly approve of poor Matt being left in the dark until now and risking death from blood loss. Someone please brief him? At this point EVERYONE but him knows.
5. Mason is hot, especially in chains.
6. Tyler is getting better. He still needs to make out with Jeremy.
7. Werewolves and Aztechs? Wtf. Then again, after Lost 6x15, no weird mythology will put me off something. Still, the less they reference it the better.
8. Caroline and Matt breaking up = :((((((
9. KATHERINE BEING BACK = DO NOT EVER WANT AND IF SHE TOUCHES A HAIR ON CAROLINE'S HEAD I'LL BE PISSED. WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO GO NEAR ALL THE PEOPLE I LIKE.
10. Damon and Elena being honest = nice. Damon, if you expect her to forgive you because you were sincere with her then it's a nice fantasy, but I still want to hug his psycho self.
11. Alaric/Jenna: well, it was a wonder it didn't happen last season and they're cute, so I'll take it. It still doesn't get in the way of my Damon/Alaric anyway.
12. In conclusion: it was awesome even if the premiere was still the best until now. BUT ALSO, ALARIC IS BACK. LET'S REJOICE.
---
1. Okay, first thing, WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT TO FRIDAY. Sat. morning is not the right time to watch shows, I feel too drowsy.
2. Whatever, let's go on to serious things. Meaning.
3. Overall: I liked it. There were a couple of things which I didn't like at all, but considering where they went with 5x22 I don't think they could do much better.
4. Mostly, I kinda like how they dealt with the Lisa situation. I liked that she was comprehensive and that they tried to make her more than of a fleshed out character, but it remains that Dean went there because Sam asked him to and there's no way they're getting out of there unless they deliberately ignore it. Which would suck. But I liked that she didn't take Dean's bullshit and that she was okay with him hunting and stuff. Also Ben is still adorable.
5. On that, domesticated!Dean isn't really my thing (also, ADIDAS PANTS AND THAT PICK-UP? AUGH DEAN DRIVING THE PICK UP WAS SO WRONG XD) but I liked the montage at the beginning and the fact that he still kept the gun under his bed and the shotgun in the car made it up for it.
6. Anyway, Dean was pretty much the one who made more sense in this. And tbh sorry but if my brother appeared after one year telling me that he never said he was alive for my own benefit and then said that ooops, maybe I should drop everything and get back to hunting with people I know from Adam, I would say no too. Also the bits with the YED were making me cry or something.
7. On that: what the FUCK is with everyone lying to Dean because they thought it was better for him? That's pretty much the only thing that didn't sit well with me. BOBBY TOO? WTF? I mean, fuck it, they know how Dean is, who the hell even thought that it was a good idea to just let him in the dark? Sorry but I'm not on board with that. Tbh I was hoping for Dean that he'd punch everyone at some point. Also when a bunch of people pretend to know what's better for you without informing you, well, that's one of the things that tend to make me go NO in RL as well so yeah. Not on board with that.
8. Sam is weird. I'd like it to chalk it up to his Hell time (even if tbh if he came back just after he fell down in the hole then how much time did he spend there? O_O) but he's still weird and I don't get it. Then again. I liked Sam throughout S4 and he likes Bon Jovi, so I'm not hating him or anything. I'll be much happier when they explain it.
9. THE HUG WAS LOVELY.
10. SAM PRAYED TO CAS. YED REFERRED TO HIM TO DEAN AS 'YOUR PAL CAS'. EVERYONE WAS LIKE 'DID CAS BRING YOU BACK?'
Goes unsaid that this NEEDS MORE CAS ASAP. Maybe it's why I'm not more hyped, lol. I need my nerdy dude with wings asap. ;___;
11. Campbells: mm. I like the idea but I didn't like how everyone but Samuel was kind looking down on poor Dean. ;___; also I want Samuel's anti-wrinkle cream. I'm pretty sure that if he sold it he could retire. But hey, IT'S SKINNER BACK ON MY SCREEN, I'm on board with him at least. The other Campbells not so much, I'll have to see what they do with them. But that bit when they all got into the house and Dean was obviously feeling like they were looking down on him... mm. Do not like.
Since when I became this OMG I WANT TO HUG YOU with Dean? Right, maybe since sometime in S1. Whatevs.
12. Djinns: they're cool! :D If they all have new spins on the MOTWs then I'll be very pleased.
13. Tho seriously, Bobby not telling Dean about anything was wtf. Sam I can kinda get, with a lot of brainstorming, but Bobby... not really. Meh. That's the other MEH thing for me.
14. In conclusion: I liked the S2/S4/S5 premieres a lot better. I can't say about S3 since I've seen it once and it didn't exactly impress me back then, so maybe I liked this one better, idk. I'm also confused but it all depends on where they go and it could be awesome if they manage it, so I'll just see how it goes on. I liked that they didn't go the Jess route with Lisa (unless you count that dream, which made me go all OH DEAN again), I didn't like that everyone thinks that Dean can't decide what's good for him but overall I'm good with it.
15. But it needs more Cas. ;__________; WHERE'S MY NERDY DUDE WITH WINGS.
Also, where's the Sassy fic where he answers Sam's prayers? Because I'm very sad that it hasn't been written yet.
16. Anyway, my two cents: domesticated!Dean won't last for another couple episodes, and I'm mostly unspoiled, so I just hope it ends with as much pain for everyone involved as possible. And eeee, show is back and I'm good with it, so yay for that.
