Supernatural + Elementary
Note: unfortunately, I broke my streak and went back to tumblr for 30 minutes, and now I am annoyed again. Maybe it'll serve me as a lesson. I honestly considered creating a safe-space SPN community on dw. Please tell me that one can be a sane person and an SPN fan at the same time. I'll stick to fic again for the future. Which reminds me, I did go back to read a bit of DCBB again (did I break every single plan I made last month? /o\ ), so there are some more recs coming up after all.
* What is there to say about a comic filler episode?
* The funny episodes tend to be the ones that I rewatch, so funny is good. But I'm sure never going to rewatch this one.
* I am so not a dog person. Maybe for people who like dogs, this episode may have been funny. I can't say I cared. Dogs. Yawn.
- Cas wasn't even mentioned in this one. It's frightening how much I've become to expect him to be included in every episode.
+ Sam is going to find out what's going on soon, and on his own, which I hadn't expected or even thought about. I like that.
* Tumblr is freaking out about queerbaiting and representation again, and they can go fuck themselves. Destiel is canon, and if it turns out it isn't, then I can just be quietly mad at the PTB all by myself.
* I almost forgot: the cook was clearly preparing a meal for a male guest. So much for representation. The shark fin does have some significance in that, I think, but I would be guessing there. In my opinion, we're almost getting close to anvil territory with all the gay couples we're being shown on the side. I'm not entirely sure what to think about that.
* I chuckled at the bestiality joke. Let's face it: SPN fandom is basically founded on bestiality. The spn_kink_meme was invented for bestiality. I found it funny that the bestiality made it into canon.
* I can't deny that the episode was well suited for iconing, so at least I won't have trouble making funny icons for
episodic_supernatural for that one.
+ I liked how Dean was hanging his head out of the window (even though it looked awkward how slowly Sam was driving). :)
* I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, but I found it extremely noticeable that both Jensen and Jared were pulling funny faces throughout the whole episode. It's like the atmosphere for a funny filler episode creeped into every scene, even though it should have had some serious scenes, too. I kinda tend to think it's a bad thing. But then I think about how fun it must be for them to do relaxing goofy episodes, and I can't begrudge them that.
* Someone (I fear it may have been on tumblr) said that it can't be a good sign that we got two funny episodes in a row, and that it usually means bad things are coming. Like kids being given extra treats before going to the dentist.
She said: "Guys, we're going to the dentist!"
+ I admit I really like that assessment. I am so looking forward to going to the dentist. Bring it on!
* Somehow this case felt like a classic ACD story. Was it? I've read too few of them to be sure.
+ Damn, Mycroft crashing Sherlock's addict meeting was horrible. That was so well done, and such an immense breach of trust, and wow. I could so feel for Sherlock in this moment, because I was so happy that he opened up and he was so insecure, and *man*. I wouldn't even know what a safe space is, if it wasn't for ten years of being active in fandom. But now I know, I am actually able to put into words all that Mycroft did wrong and why Sherlock rightly was so incensed about it.
* I agree with Sherlock: Joan and Mycroft hooking up came totally out of left field. I am actually kind of glad she didn't explain it. I mean, I am doubly glad that she didn't explain herself and actively told Sherlock so. But, I am also glad the show didn't explain it, because it gives me time to develop ideas. Because I really can't fathom why Joan would do it. Especially since she was mad at Sherlock for sleeping with her friend in a not-so-long-ago episode. I don't get it.
* I also would have preferred if it wasn't something sexual this time that he was deducing about her. Sherlock seems to delight in sticking his finger into socially inappropriate wounds. And I would have preferred it if it was just what Joan said: her being afraid of Mycroft hitting on her, or her knowing she has to keep Mycroft's disease a secret. All of those would have explained her being tense, but no. Oh, well. It's not such a big thing.
* That said, I did like the conversation in the car: "How was he? How was she? Spill." Oh, Sherlock. *g*
+ This show continues to make me happy every week.
