Bloodlust: A Supernatural Episode Review
You can read my review of the Supernatural episode "Bloodlust" at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!
An excerpt:
How on EARTH can a man look so good with blood and ichor on his face like that? It’s bad enough that Ackles is already more beautiful than this Earth should allow; the blood, you would think, should somehow dehumanize him so that we can see the ( Read more... )
the local sheriff who understands “what gravity does,”
Teehee, he was fabulous, wasn't he? Show does a great job when it comes to casting guest actors.
we’re introduced to Gordon Walker
For some reason Gordon freaked me out right from the beginning, probably because he already showed the first signs of the complete whackjob he was about to become, but I liked every episode he was in. He just knew how to make the boys' lives so much more complicated. :D
Gordon makes the mistake of calling Sam Sammy - and we get the lovely retort, “Only he gets to call me that.”
Oh, how I love that tiny little scene! It reminds me of S1 Sam, who was repeatedly telling Dean 'It's Sam', but then accepted the nickname somewhere along the road. (And I'm convinced he loves Dean calling him Sammy now.)
there’s Dean practicing in the woods somewhere, The Dad coaching him, Sammy wanting a turn
Can we please get a flashback of this? Or of some sparring? Or, even better, grown up Sam and Dean in hand-to-hand combat training? *falls to knees and begs* I know they do it, they have to stay in shape and keep practicing, otherwise they'd lose their skills.
Dean asks him how he did that. Sam [...] “I counted.”
There is this lovely ficlet about how The Dad trained the boys in counting while blindfolded.

Best shot ever, seriously.

I want an Impala like this SO badly....

I'm just sorry I didn't have a higher word count so I could have gone on and ON about this guy. He so didn't care who Sam and Dean were, thought they were both a pair of idiots, and had better things to do then to build up their theory about stupid cow mutiliations. Sometimes, when I encounter something stupid at home or at work, I'll mutter, "Because THAT's what GRAVITY does!" No one gets it.

He was a great foil - he was everything the boys weren't even though essentially, his goals are their goals. That's what made him even creepier.

I'm convinced of it too - there are certain people in our lives who can get away with pretty much anything. Dean is that to Sam. : D

I would KILL or DIE to have a flashback of the boys training, sparring, or even TALKING to the Dad about their training. They were raised as Warriors - why can't we SEEEEEE this???And oh, yeah, good point! They train while on the road...behind those crappy motels and stuff!!

You are GOOD to me. And me so bad in responding. I rather got behind a bit with real life and all that. I have marked this to read, and THANK you!!!!

You know, we could fit all this wonderfully into one episode, combined with some first aid and Sam carrying Dean out of danger in his arms. It could start with the boys hunting the MotW. Dean gets hurt in the process, Sam rescues him and patches him up (and we actually get to see the patching up this time!). Dean needs some time to recover, so they rent a house/flat/cabin to lay low and then start training to get him back in shape. During the training Sam has the loveliest flashbacks and the boys share some childhood memories. Ok, ok, I seriously suck at plotting, but who needs a plot when you get hurt!Dean, protective!Sam, sparring and flashbacks including The Dad? Not me. :)

Hey, don't worry about responding. Real life can be pretty demanding, I know it first-hand. *glares at university* As long as you keep posting your wonderful reviews all is good. :)
