Thoughts on SN 5x15
Hmmm, I had some mixed feelings about tonight's SN epp....
It had some good, emotional moments, especially for Bobby, which were very touching, and I loved the meta shout-out about Thursdays (reminded me of the OMWF Tuesday one on BTVS), and I also loved that DEAN ACTUALLY CONSUMED PIE--THE PIE IS NO LONGER A LIE! :p
BUT the continuity was just SO fail, I mean to come back from last week with NO mention of Sam's relapse or Dean being on the edge of despair?! We get that cliffhanger, where Dean looks like he's about to give in, and then nothing, no mention, everything is back to normal, they seem fine, like nothing ever happened?! I know that S&D character continuity has been a problem throughout this season, but I felt it more than ever between these last two epps. I was actually a little confused at first, when I saw they didn't pick up right where the last one left off. I heard from one person that these epps might have been switched, and I can believe it, they do not follow properly at ALL....>:( Very annoying.
I was also annoyed that we STILL didn't see Death (and that Death is a guy, come on!), I was really expecting it....and that we didn't see Cas, though I suppose if no horsemen were going to show up he didn't have a place in the epp....but I still missed him, and can't believe they paid him for an epp he wasn't in! :(
Also, Bobby needs to wear a hat. Always. His hair just looks weird without it. And Death's message at the end (which I am happy we at least got to hear!) was weird, it didn't make much sense, IMO. So Death raised Bobby's wife on the chance she might kill him? Or as a psychological warfare against this important ally of the boys? I'm guessing it's the latter....I suppose if he had died (though the message would have been pointless then), it also would have impacted badly on the boys....AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN, BTW!
I am, however, SUPER excited for next week's episode, as excited as I was for 5x13 in fact....
OMG IT LOOKS SO EPIC, I CANNOT WAIT! SO FAR HEAVEN LOOKS VERY INTERESTING, THE DEATH SCENE LOOKS SO INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL (WELL DONE JENSEN!), AND ZACH AND CAS! I WONDER IF WE ARE ONLY JUST GOING TO HAVE CAS'S VOICE THIS EPISODE, SINCE HE IS IN AS MUCH DANGER IN HEAVEN AS THE BOYS ARE? IS IT NEXT THURSDAY YET?
