Poll for 11.09

[ash48]

As seems to be the case lately (it looks like there's this bar I'm a little drawn to lately ;D) I haven't had a chance to put my thoughts into a post yet (though I have started!). All I can say is it's a mixed reaction.

But I can post the poll!

Awesome but HORRIFYING! I'm still processing!

[ash48]

Haha - me too! Horrifying on all sorts of levels.

i um well... *problems in this episode* other. *i meant to click the other 1st option too*

[sam_dean_lover]

Sam Dean and Crowley scenes, and Lucifer scenes <3. the dialogue ?

Dean Amarra no-

Rowena- no

I liked the concept, but the writing was not engaging, so even for something THAT charged I was unmoved. - Pretty sure this can be fixed
through fic.

[ash48]

Yeah, I writing was horrid (imho), but that's because these two just don't get it. Powerful concept, poorly executed. Awesome acting, but damn…

I NEED fix-it fic!

[citrusjava]

Everything^^

From Camp Lowered Expectations, it wasn't great, wasn't TERRIBLE, just felt like it was there. I wouldn't really see this as a typical midseason finale as there wasn't much ~action going on and the clifhanger is there, sure, but I feel like there's typically a lot more going on.

I know lots of folks hate Lucifer/Mark Pellegrino, but I absolutely adore how he plays Luci. So for me, those parts saved it for me, to be entertained by him and his expressions. I even rewatched a few to make sure I was seeing what I was, and then I'd snicker all over again.

Mark P's Luci never fails to entertain me. Ayup.

[dugindeep]

*high five*

[fireheart13]

I loved Lucifer, I thought Mark was just terrific!

Best moment in that interview. Sums it up. But actually, I blame these writers not him (so much). Berens managed to write a decent ep with the same theme. I maintain that the idea can be solid-ish, but the writers struggle to pull it off (these ones anyway).

*hugs* J2 will see us through! (though seriously?! They were told to spout all that crap about the bros working together weren't they? Boo!)

[dugindeep]

I've seen a lot of people get upset that the brothers aren't working together but ... Their relationship this season thus far has been the healthiest it's been in years. So, I would say this is as 'working together' as it gets.

I'm belatedly realizing how annoying it was to sit through Jared's M&G at chicon, and him going on and on and on about how great eps 9 and 10 were (which they'd just finished filming), because there were huge showdowns between all five characters - Sam, Dean, Cas, Crowley, and Rowena. I expected a huge five-headed fight to go down, and we got none of that. Just sectored parts. And I'm now realizing he was so hyped up over Luci, but obviously couldn't tell us that.

The five person fight scene is in 11.10. They filmed it the day that they did the Vancouver blogger interviews.
