SPN 6.01 Thoughts
Okay guys, I've been thinking a lot about this episode ever since it aired yesterday, and honestly I really like the fact that it's still keeping me guessing (while driving me crazy at the same time). I've read quite a few of reviews from my flist, some I agree with, some I didn't. That's okay though, I get it. It's not gonna change what I thought about it. I liked coming into this season with knowing practically nothing about what was going on - and they're doing a good job on keeping me on edge.
Alright guys, I'm gonna be looking back at some caps so hopefully I won't miss anything I want to point out or talk about.
First of all, before I begin, I knew this season was gonna feel awkward and different, so I'm not too surprised or annoyed by the fact that pretty much everything had changed. There's just no way it could have been much different from what they gave us.
New opening with the glass shattering looked really neat. Really makes you wonder what that means for the rest of the season.
Okay, so we didn't get a 'road so far' this time, but they pretty much integrated it PERFECTLY into that first scene with Dean's new life and memories of his old one. It hurt to see Dean seem so empty. The poor guy is doing all he can to try to fit in, but it must hurt like hell when such a big chunk of it is gone - that being Sam, of course. Then when they showed that he was keeping his gun and holy water right underneath him just...I don't even...I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, because that's who Dean is and it would be out of character if they hadn't done that but, ugh, to live in constant fear must really suck.
LOL @ the girl giving Dean her number <3 OH GOD. "What is it with you?!!? Everytime!!" "Apparently chics dig guys who are unavailable. Who knew??" OMG so right <33 HAHAH. Besides, what girl wouldn't want to give Dean their number ;D? Also, I really liked Dean's shady description about his past job as Pest Control. "You wouldn't believe what is in some people's walls." Haha, nice one guys! Perfect way to secretly describe it.
I knew something was off about those claw marks. When he enters the building and finds blood but nothing else, it didn't seem right. Then he sees the claw marks again on the post, it was like it was perfectly placed, and I felt like Dean was being dragged along. I was also afraid of someone seeing him because, now, other people actually KNOW him so the whole time I was like "Ah! Be careful puling out your gun!" Also, what is it with Dean and little doggies?! And kitties for that matter?? Hahah, ah, poor Dean.
I was glad to see the Impala in such good shape in the garage. The first word out of my mouth was "BABY!" haha. I was REALLY glad to see John's journal again. Seriously. It felt like a blast from the past. Also, I had heard something about YED, and I was kinda like "whaaa? Yellow Eyes??" I loved YED - I still think he was my favorite bad guy - but I'm glad he was just a hallucination cause I woulda been angry otherwise, because it was like, come on guys! He can't be alive! He was shot with the Colt! And Sammy had a pretty badass little intro into S6. The whole time I'm chanting "come on Sammy, come on!" ah! there he is! :D
So cute that Dean thought he was in heaven. And I'm sure he would have been perfectly okay with being dead if that meant being with Sam again. Sammy doing the tests on himself was cute too, especially the holy water. Then I'm thinking, get over there Dean! Hug him! I had to grab a cushion next to me on the couch to squeeze cause I wanted to hug something so bad. I wanted Sam to wrap an arm around him too, but he didn't. I guess it was a lot more meaningful for Dean since he thought Sam was dead. Also, a whole year. Wow. I knew there was gonna be a time jump, but I was surprised at the beginning when they told us it was a year. I was like WHOA. Makes me wonder if Sammy and the others had taken care of some baddies near Dean to continue to protect him. I freakin' melted when Dean said he just wanted his brother alive. After all these months of the hiatus I was aching to hear anything like this, so it felt ridiculously good.
Speaking of the others, honestly, I didn't really dig the idea. We know a lot of Mary's friends had been taken out ages ago...? I assume that included family? I just don't see how it could work. It felt a little too convenient that , hey look, some were still alive. I dunno. I had already seen that Grandpa Campbell was coming back from checking out the stills and such, but the whole thing just isn't right. There's a way bigger picture here and we know it. And it can't be good. And aww, Dean worrying about Lisa and Ben ;____; *sobs* The way he clings to Lisa *sobs some more*
BOBBY! Always so happy to see him. I wonder how many times Dean had checked in with him throughout the year. Then again, with the way he said good bye since Swan Song, maybe he hadn't seen him at all since. Ugh, I don't want to think about that episode, haven't seen it since it aired, so , moving on. Ouch at the fact that Bobby already knew about Sam too. I know their intentions were good, but D: *sobs* MY POOR DEAN *clings*
Dean talking to Lisa on the stairs was breaking my heart as well. "You're saying goodbye" Poor Lisa. To be completely honest, from the beginning of the episode, I felt terribly sorry for her. It must have been really hard taking Dean like that into her home. To hear her say she just wanted a father figure for Ben was so sweet. And then she says "that was the best year of my life" - oh god, just thinking about it now is making me tear up, seriously. *takes deep breath*
The Campbell family telling Dean to leave it to the professionals , huh? Boy, you better watch what you say. "See, it's like I'm a professional." RAAAAAWRRR YEAHHHHHH~ YOU WERE SAYING???
It's so cute the way he was protective of Lisa's photos and his golf clubs, oh my god, haha. I was like, Jensen are you responsible for this?? :D haha. Grandpa Campbell explaining all the new creatures they're hunting that they've never heard of gave me chills. I'm really excited to what they'll dish out for us this season. New creatures makes me excited!
Sammy is too relaxed and it's making me uneasy dammit. I don't doubt that it's our Sammy, but something is broken in him too , for sure. Now that I think about it , I wonder if he's trying to be more like Dean and trying to block out all his bad memories. I'm sure Sammy's trip to Hell was way different than Dean's, so I'm curious to see what Sam went through. It just stung that Sammy didn't want to talk about Hell at all - to his brother who would fully understand. Especially when he wanted Dean to talk about his way back then. You're gonna have to spill the beans sooner or later Sammy!
Dean's hallucination was scary good. Totally perfect for Dean's new worst nightmare with his new family. Seeing Lisa get pulled up to the ceiling gave me goosebumps. The whole thing did! *shivers*
Okay what are those Campbells up to already? You guys didn't start out on my good side to begin with, and you're definitely not making it any easier. What the hell are you planning on doing with that Djinn??? And how much of this is Sammy in on, if at all? Must be some type of interrogation, or maybe, even ritual type stuff, do you think?? Or not so much ritual, but maybe they need to kill one a certain way to get something out of her, like those reapers being killed back in S4.
Sammy, that's the second time Dean offers his Impala to you!! Do you know what this means!? D: It's really touching how willing Dean is to give his baby up to his little brother. For the record, Sam's car is pretty damn cool - but come on! Turning down the Impala is nuts either way. Ah well, it's probably for the better.
Anyway, this episode left an ass load of questions unanswered, and I'm really excited to see where they'll take us. I've never felt so in the dark as to where our show could take us - it's...scary. Honestly, I think this season could be one of the creepiest yet. The trailer for that next episode?? OMG. Babies/children crying scare me when they're involved in horror settings. Shit. D: I might need my blanket with me on the couch next week. This was my first actual hiatus, so I'm positively beaming to be back.(I didn't have to wait much for the S5 premiere) Even my sister could see I was happy this morning P: It feels good to be back on LJ full swing! I'm loving the Supernatural love from all of you guys! And iconnnnnnnnsss~! *dances* I almost forgot who I was getting caps from ^__^;; I can't wait to get started on those!
