Wolverine, thinkiness about SPN 4x19 and 20, and miscellany

May 01, 2009 14:34

You know, April was hell month for me. Basically April's activities consisted of a) work b) work more c) eat d) sleep e) repeat a through d. So today, when I woke up and it was beautiful, glorious May 1, and I was not at work, and hell month had reached its end, I rejoiced! And then I promptly blew off all the important things I've been putting ( Read more... )

...how did he lock Sam inside without there being some way for Sam to get out?

He jury-rigged it when it occurred to him that Sam might benefit from a time out? Or took the entire door off and remade it.

I sort of wonder about the second option, because I don't think there'd be enough time between Dean calling Bobby and saying 'we have to do something about Sam' and them getting to Bobby's. Maybe option A. I hate that I get hung up on petty details like this! *g*

I'm new enough to the fandom that I don't feel overly invested yet. That awesome phase where everything is shiny, the little things don't bug you, and everything is in CAPSLOCK.

Anyway, it's possible they've been talking about Sam, or talking around the Sam problem for some time. That's my fanwank: Bobby was half prepared for something like this, even before Dean called.

Or that Bobby has always had it set up that way, because you never know when you might need to keep something imprisoned. Because Bobby is prepared.

Thanks for the comments about Wolverine. My local paper had a negative review, saying it was dull, and I really wanted the opinion of someone I know.

Also, the fact that this woman had his picture up, and clearly cared for him, doesn't mean it was mutual.

You know what? That was my take on the situation, too.

I really enjoyed Wolverine a ton. I don't think I have especially high standards for these movies, to be honest, so I might not be the best barometer. *g* But if it helps to judge - I really enjoyed the first movie, I mostly liked the second, and the third left me really, really cold. And irritated.

My standard for this movie was "better than X-Men 3", so for that? It passed with flying colors. :-) I did really enjoy it, though, which is way more than I can say for X3.

SERIOUSLY. Also, when he speaks? I WANT TO RAVAGE HIM. I have no idea what's wrong with me right now. *g*

did you guys see the way Dean flinched when bloody-faced Sam threw out his hand toward Dean

Oh, Des. I've been thinking about that, it made me heart-clutch. Dean not just afraid *for* Sam but afraid *of* Sam. It's great to hear your thoughts here, I haven't settled on what I think's going on with them and I'm thinking Bobby and Dean have made a mistake, that it's going to backfire horribly and I'm so worried about them. WHY DO YOU HURT ME SHOW WHY?

Your thoughts on John sound sensible to me, but you probably already guessed I'd be with you there.

destina May 1 2009, 23:00:08 UTC

I think you're so right about the backfiring. I think Sam was not going to ever be that guy who tells Dean everything - dude, in Bloody Mary, he made it clear he was going to have his secrets; Dean just wasn't *listening*, he never has heard that message - but if he would ever have planned to come clean, this has ended that possibility. And they don't know how to talk to each other any more, not that they ever really did, and. AUGH.

I hoped you'd be with me on the John thing; I'm really perplexed by the majority of posts I read after the ep, wherein people seemed either all a) see, I told you John was an asshole! (which, no) or b) I can't believe John would hide this part of his life (which, hi, hiding parts of his life is all John ever did *g*).

I think I can see John hiding a lot of it, and I really feel that he would have cut off contact with Adam & Kate about the time Jess died, because he didn't want the demon to backtrack to them. But I do still wish he'd left some window open for telling his older sons they had a brother, because, well. Most of the time John did shit that hurt them, it wasn't because he meant to hurt them, it was because he honestly thought he was protecting them. He put physical protection over emotional support, and he shouldn't have, not the imbalanced way he did. And hiding Adam from them was definitely going to hurt them.

... unless, I suppose, he decided that knowing or not knowing was going to hurt them, and it was just easier for him if they didn't know. Argh. Makes me wanna shake him, frankly.

As for Kate & the pictures, well. My private fanwank is that the set-dresser didn't read the script very closely. *g*

Heh. I added you in already! I don't want to lose you either. Not that I'm going anywhere because I heart my LJ. :)
