*uses beardy!Jared icon just 'cause (beardy!Jared makes me happy)*
Oh, that fucking figures. Make me uncomfortable about the prospect of a Scrappy-Doo Winchester to the point where I actually hope that he'll end up dying in the episode. THEN, when the episode airs, not only does he end up dead, but I feel sad about it. *shakes fist at Kripke & Co.* THIS is why you named it "Jump The Shark," isn't it? You knew we would bristle at the thought of another brother, then you knew we'd do an about-face when you revealed that their lost brother would always be lost to them. Poor Adam. Poor boys.
And, essentially, it proved Sam right. And Sam is right. That Adam was meat, that what John told them was essentially correct. And yet it feels so wrong. Maybe because Sam's hunter-style pragmatism contrasts so jarringly with the Sam we met back in S1. Maybe, too, because I trust Dean more than I trust Sam. I don't know if I always have, but I definitely do now. Dean plays it by heart and gut. Sam, by head.
Yeah, I said "head." No snickering.
Dean, always with the scissors! HEE. Yay for consistency, Show.
No consistency with John Winchester's Journal though. That book is moving farther and farther away from canon. Ah well. It was still a fun read.
I keep wondering if the kid who played Adam might have auditioned to play teen!Dean. And they were like: "No, not quite right. But we do have another Winchester you could play...."
How can a little thing like Dean groaning after pulling the handle off the coffin make me laugh and make my heart sink a tiny bit at the same time? Oh, Dean. *sigh*
Dean pulling himself up out of the crypt was super fucking hot.
Sam being tied up was super fucking hot.
Do you really think ordinary ropes could really hold him back though? Maybe they were magical, ghoulie ropes.
Dean saved his Sammy! Well, there's something that is right and exactly as it should be.
Seeing them flip-flop continues to HURT. News flash, eh? That ending ("you can take it any way you want") tore at my heart as hard as any of the "big" revelation/crying endings they've done in the past. Strangely, it felt good (if "good" is the correct word for it) to hear Dean say it-say what we've all been feeling about Sam being like his father. They've not only flip-flopped, they've criss-crossed (that doesn't sound silly at all, does it?): Dean going from hero-worship to disillusionment with John, and Sam going from discontent to agreement.
But, Show? Show. It took me years, YEARS to get over my childhood fear of something grabbing me from under the bed. Thanks for fucking that up. *will be leaping into bed and not letting feet hang over the edge tonight*
And thanks, not sarcastically, for being truly scary. GREAT episode.
Promo for next week, you don't scare me! I know Misha's signed on for next season. So, nyah!
Am I the only person who actually likes Genevieve Cortese and wants her and Jared to be dating? I don't know much about her, sure: I've only seen her in SPN and I've only read one interview. But I think she's cute (the "ugly" comments baffle me). And she and Jared look cute together. If they are dating... if she makes him happy... isn't that enough?
Also, what do we have to do to convince the SPN gang that not all of us fans hate the female characters on the show? It frustrates me to know they're basing their opinion on what I think are only a few loudmouths. Face it, when people feel the need to complain, they will voice their complaints at great length and at great volume. When people are content, they tend to be quiet. Ergo, SPN female-haters are loudmouths. And I don't know if they represent the majority or minority; it's not like we have statistics to go on. But they don't represent every fan. They don't represent me. And I'm tired of the generalizations.
In conclusion: Why is Pirate's Booty so friggin' addictive?
