Yep. The pretty...it was pretty. The story? Not so much.
I would give that Peruvian demon a home in my house today! And after Dean had his whole "Okay, Garth the werewolf is still Garth, and his werewolf family is okay too" revelation last week, to have him blindly want to kill the fat-sucking demon was...well, not only was it off, it felt stupidly blind. If it had happened a few episodes back, it would still have been dumb, but the following week? It feels like the writers aren't communicating any better than the boys, and the showrunner isn't doing his job.
Sam and Dean needed to have this talk, but I'm not sure that either one of them heard what the other was saying. From their own perspective, they're right. Neither one of them is taking into consideration what their brother has been through to get to his perspective though. At this point, I think it will take something *making* them see the other's life in flashbacks or something to take that into consideration. Maybe Gabriel needs to come back to life and make them do that.
This episode seemed to be played for laughs a lot, but they still have to have some meat to the story to make the laughs work. And I didn't feel like this one did have any thought behind it...just "Funny fat people! Workout gear! Gross tongues! Drugged Dean!" and the scene at the end tacked on for dramatic value.
This! It feels like the writers aren't communicating any better than the boys, and the showrunner isn't doing his job. I don't want to bash these people, but who else do you look to when there are such glaring contradictions episode and character wise?
Given the scope of the world-is-ending problems the Winchesters have dealt with and are dealing with I've always wondered why their personal issues haven't been hammered out before now and we keep circling back to cover the same ground? Seems an over complication in an already complicated situation that is there to polarize a fandom that is already too adept at taking sides. It all seems unnecessary.
But the story - this one irritated and I didn't want to be irritated and I worked with the pretty, but then another 'anyhoooo' came out after I got over the powdered donuts and seriously? I just plain hated that they turned the sheriff into this absurd stereotypical combination of a cop and Fargo-type fat woman with her 'you betchas and anyhoos' and stripped her of any evidence of competence that she should've holding the job.
So yes, I've decided I will bash the writers since I want to yell 'grow the hell up already!'.:)
