i wanted all ten plagues! well, not the slaying of the firstborn, but the first nine. i wanted hail! and darkness! and rivers of blood! and dead cattle! but no, instead we mostly got yet another celestial war and sam apparently being dark and evil and wrong and sooper-secretive. hmph. i am unimpressed, show.
i mean, come on, THE TEN PLAGUES. that's some really epic shit right there!
(the bit with sam's car getting crunched was good, tho. also "were you racing me?" "no. i was kicking your ass." heh. and i liked balthazar.)
yeah, it would have been a lot more interesting, and more dramatic if they'd had to stop someone from working all the way through the plague and stopping them just before the killing of the firstborn.
This was a lot of boring with a side of boring and some ho-hum sauce on top.
(the bit with sam's car getting crunched was good, tho. also "were you racing me?" "no. i was kicking your ass." heh. and i liked balthazar.)
Yeah, those were pretty much the highlights for me.
I was mostly bored too. Well, I did like the eye candy. But the minute they brought up Balthazar, I was all "it can't be Balthazar. The Charmed ones vanquished him, like ... years back."
Bwah! I never watched Charmed, but I appreciate the way your mind goes immediately to a crossover. I was more like, "There should be a Fringe crossover..." since Sebastian Roche plays Thomas Jerome Newton on Fringe.
Dude, I'm watching on my computer. If I threw something at it my academic life would be over and there is no way I could afford a new one. And yet I am still tempted to throw things.
I mean, pillar of salt! Egyptian plagues! How did they manage to mess that up?
I think those were two different weapons causing that, actually. Balthazar said he'd stolen a few, and the thing in his hand looked more crystal-like than staff-like.
But yes, I agree on being bored with how they're depicting Sam.
They were - the big salt crystal caused the pillar of salt, not the truncated staff - but STILL. Really cool things that would have made an interesting episode, and instead we got a lot of boring blah blah blah.
I loved the Dean/Lisa opening, that was sweet and bitter in all the right ways.
Sebastian Roche who plays Balthazar has been a fav actor of mine for a long time, I love I'm getting him on Fringe and SPN now :-) Yay. Seems like Bathlzar is taking over for Gabriel in some ways, but the soul thing -- yikes! I think it's telling he mentioned just how powerful a human soul is though.

I second that.

I also enjoyed the eye candy.

I was less than thrilled with the civil war thing, too. And it does feel like we're revisiting season 4. I'm just hoping it improves soon, you know?
