THANK YOU, monkie! I watched this ep while on the phone with janissa11 and we were both so . . . disappointed.
I have never rolled my eyes so much at a line from this show as much as I did at Sam saying, "It's Sam." God. Yes. Really, Sam, is now the time? Your brother BEGGED you to give him some time to figure things out and then you snuck out on him. He thought he'd gotten you killed. And with the "you'll have to kill me" joke at the end - HATE.
Dean as a potser. Oh, whatever. Not that it's a surprise at this point, I just sort of ... I can't decide if that's just silly, or what. It's not just silly, it's out of character. Dean being willing to let his guard down long enough to smoke up? Not on your life, not on Sam's life. The only way I can see this happening is if he were so wrecked by Sam going to Stanford, and I just don't read Dean as having that kind of rebellion.
I thought he was direct, and willing to accept responsibility for his actions and Sam's reactions, and. I just liked it. Absolutely. When Sam asked if Dean could take responsibility for himself, I was really interested in what Dean's response would be, and I thought it was a good one.
However, both boys were off this week, I still think Gordon is an awesome character - he wants Dean on his side so badly, wants Dean to validate what he did to his sister, and I thought Ava rocked.
But I dunno, I actually don't have a problem with Sam in the ep. I just thought the Sam line was ridiculous rather than in poor taste or whatever. And I kind of liked the "you'll have to kill me" joke -- I WANT Sam to have sort of a morbid sense of humor.
My quibbles were much more with the acting and the directing than any of the plot or character arcs, both of which I liked and bought this week.
Ah, gotcha. I didn't really think much of that, to be honest. Obviously Dean drinks once in a while; I'd be surprised if he hadn't smoked up from time to time. I definitely wouldn't call him a pothead. That's a totally different degree of indulgence. It's not such a leap from wine beer'n'women to the occasional toke.
Any "Balance of Power" updates heading our way?
Eep! I hope? I've actually gone back to the story recently, to edit what I already have and get a better sense of where the plot's going so far. I'm a little surprised people are still waiting for it. :) But yes, with luck, that'll be my new project.
