Immediate reactions to 6.05
Oh lordy, the Twilight references were KILLING me. The dude who played Edward Robert was fantastic. And, if I do say so myself, actually attractive, most assuredly unlike RPattz.
Oh the angst.
Sammyyyyy. What is going on in that pretty, pretty head of yours? It is making it very hard for me to keep defending you to the ever-increasing mountain of hate.
Personally, I am squarely in the (sadly small) camp that says Sam is not, in fact, evil. Or not completely anyhow. Of the theories I’ve heard floating around, I’m most on board with either a) Sam’s soul isn’t as intact as it should be, b) he’s PTSD-ing so badly that the only way he can deal with everything is by going Terminator, or c) because he said yes and because he wants to atone for everything, he’s gone overdrive with wanting to rid the world of evil. Now, are any of those right? Hell if I know. But we’ve gone down the Sam Is Evil route too many times for me to actually believe it’s true. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some evil Sam, but not like this. I just hope this isn’t another season four--that is to say, that it’ll be dragged out until 6.22. I would die.
All that said, I have to comment on how amazing a job Jared is doing portraying all this. The Jekyll-Hyde thing he’s doing is downright perfect, and the smirks and coldness and almost-like-the-old-Sam that interchange are wonderful. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: that man doesn’t get nearly the attention and accolades he deserves.
