spn 3.01
I finally managed to watch it online. whoo
ok so, I thought the seven deadly sins idea was cool, though now I'm confused about the relationship between demons and the essential human nature in spn. do the demons *cause* those innate impulses? or are they born from them? or are they separate, but equal (haha) like a coincidence or....*headscratch* I'm having a metaphysical crisis over here.
my roommate was all, why does lust have to be a woman? and I was like, because it has to come onto Dean, and they can't show Dean wanting to fuck men (explicitly) on network television. because I don't think they're as brave as joss. I already told her I think Jensen is a bit of a poofter. that he has no chemistry with women. and then she pouted, haha.
um. I'm straying. *wanders back to the point*
I love Bobby. *hearts* but he should keep his hat on.
ok, I dug white-chick-with-the-knife. I have a thing for women who kick ass lately. it rubbed my kink the right way. I might be alone in saying I hope her character develops nicely and she ends up having some sort of interesting interaction with Sam. as soon as I saw her, and the chemistry there, I could hear the fangirls all over the world gnashing their teeth. man. spn people...wtf is up with the hatred of female characters? I didn't love Jo, but I didn't really hate her either (which I think was the problem. I just didn't *care*), but I've liked a number of the other chicks they've introduced. I feel like I can never get attached to them, because everyone but Dean and Sam seem expendable, but I liked Dean's ex, for example. I was surprised to realize when I watched Heart again recently that I didn't feel they developed the chick or the relationship as well as they could have. I was really wrapped up in it the first time, so I was a little disappointed on the re-watch. it's like I can buy that Sam was upset because of the way that situation resonated with his guilt over Jessica, but I couldn't quite buy that he'd become *that* attached to this girl that all his upset was over her alone.
er, this is turning into more of a general post than a post about 3.01, but whatever, haha. maybe because I don't have much to say about 3.01 itself. I really enjoyed it, but after the earth-shatteringness of the finale, it seemed a little more mundane, which was actually a relief. I dug this particular monster-of-the-week concept. dug the chick. dug the conflict between dean and sam, and the way Dean swallowed the claim that he was selfish to resurrect Sam, and really dug that he said he deserved it after all he'd done with the family. I liked the irony of that...that his reward for everything he'd given is actually one final pound of flesh. that his reward is to sacrifice himself for his brother. maybe I'm a sucker for the sibling love...I still cry when I watch The Gift.
Maybe I'm just a whore for the angst. ok, fair nuff.
also, I watched that Stupid Girl sam/jo vid and I really got the hankering for some good spn vids, which I haven't really delved into as yet. wanna rec me some "classic" vids in that fandom?
