Supernatural: S9, E10: Road Trip I loved most of this episode. I thought the take on Cain, him killing his brother to save him from a life in hell, training the Knights, killing the Knights, Timothy Omundson - all fantastic. I love it. This reminds me of the episode regarding Oz. Really creative way to bring in a character we all know (or in this case, thought we knew).
I really always enjoy Crowley and when bantering with Dean, it's even better. What's great is that even though I wasn't buying Crowley being all scared of Cain, it was still fun to watch. I do wish the writers would stop it with the "next time I see you I'll kill you". It's never going to happen. Between everything they've been through, Dean/Sam is not going to kill Crowley and Crowley is not going to kill Dean/Sam. Will they actively save each other? Probably not, but there is no way either would bring the killing blow personally. I just don't see that, so please have them stop saying it.
The sections with Castiel and Sam, I wish I cared but I really don't. I think it's because (as an outsider) I don't see the choice between redeeming Sam or redeeming Castiel. Castiel's previous actions which lead to Metatron pushing all the angels out of heaven. Sam's previous actions killed Kevin. I think he also seems to be feeling guilty regarding not shutting the door to Hell. And I get that. But that did not kill Kevin. Metatron did, even if there were no demons Kevin was going to die because he was getting too close to Metatron. I just think that finding Metatron and undoing what he did is more important than revenge against Gadreel.
I did appreciate Castiel trying to show Sam why Dean did what he did regarding Sam's health and the angel. Sam just showed that he wanted to live and then he passed out and Dean was still trying to save him. This does not forgive what Dean did and doesn't erase that he lied for way too long, but it should give Sam pause at least.
It was a good episode.
Teen Wolf: S3, E15: Galvanize It was a good episode. My favorite was Stiles telling Lydia to stay in the car because "he only had one bat", such a great response because it says that if he had another one and she could be armed and would be able to come.
I'm not surprised that Kira is special, it was kind of obvious but I'm ok with that. I like her, she's awkward and sweet. Her parents are great, I think whatever she is originates with her mother's side of the family. I enjoy how goofy Scott gets around her since he likes her.
One thing… we spent the first couple of episode dealing with the effects of the death experience and after the last ep where they made progress - they all seem fine now. Which seems a little odd. I will admit that the creepy skinny dude obsessed with glowing eye'd children was more important than personal demons, but, but still.
Totally loved Mr Argent's reaction to walking in and finding his daughter and Isaac shirtless haaahaaa (of course he would care it's another werewolf and not the fact that Alison was standing there in a bra). I do think that whole thing, no kissing but lets get naked? A bit farfetched in my mind. (But perhaps I'm just being naive about high school kids. :P)
Derek's walk into the afterworld to see his mom, makes me feel horrible for him, especially after he came out of it and seemed to be really pissed off at Peter. And Peter just seems guilty. Perhaps he will learn something about his family or Peter to help him move past this dark part of his life. (And when will Derek and Stiles have a scene together?? *gg*)
So there's more snow today. And surprise the weather forecasters did not get the timing or measurements right. Most of the week I heard the snow would be arriving between 9-12 and be 1-2 inches. It arrived about 10 but then continued to snow until after 4 and I think there is 3 inches out there. I will try and be thankful they have been right about when we are getting snow and I will have to accept that. Due to the snow we did not take the kids bowling, we were going to do that today, but felt it wise not to bother to go out.
Tomorrow I will go food shopping after Church and maybe we will go tomorrow afternoon. With the kid's help I put away all the "winter" decorations and put out Valentine's Day. The kids decorated the front living room windows with clings and rubber clings. Very heart filled and festive. We then made a single batch of chocolate chip cookies. As I was doing it the batter was liquify after the eggs went in. I had trouble getting everything to "mix" together. It was weird. Now the brown sugar was harder than normal, and the white sugar was clumpy at first, but I got through that. I finally got the batter to mix and then I added the flour, which was mostly white flour but about a quarter cup of wheat pastry flour because I ran out of white and everything was already in the bowl.
The batter was "grainy" but tasted ok. The kids helped spoon it onto the cookie sheets and I baked them almost a sheet at a time. They are the best "looking" cookies I've made in a long long time. They tasted pretty good too. Weird right?
Tomorrow I start a diet, one based on shakes and cleanses. A friend has found success and encouraged me to give it a go. It's a bit expensive but if I'm able to start losing weight, it will be worth it. So, wish me luck to find the strength to follow the routine and finding time to exercise.
