Can we make a list of all the things that are already annoying me about 6.21, based on the preview video? Here, let's have a spoiler cut and jump right to it.
I am probably wrong, but I was SURE there's been a Lovecraft reference used by Dean or Sam in the past. *searches memory* maybe it was a Wyndham reference. It's driving me crazy!
The preview annoyed me too. The hetero postering gets tired - I haven't cringed that hard at Dean since 'Live Free and Twihard'.
...and personally I think Cas just wanted to borrow a book for some light reading *rolls eyes* damn you Bobby for jumping to conclusions!
You know, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a reference somewhere else in the show, because COME ON. Lovecraft is kind of impossible to escape in the genre, and Dean's life is a fucking horror movie. I'm still not unconvinced that we'll actually MEET Cthulhu in the finale, in which case Dean better start brushin' up on his reading now.
Dean probably GAVE Cas the book during their little midnight rendezvous. Like Cas said Moisha was his cousin or something, and Dean was like, "Here, have it. I'm sure there's nothing I'd understand in here, anyway."
Ironically, that kid is the same actor who played Ben in S3 - I'm not saying he's great or anything, because his O_O face when someone burst through the door made me giggle (or maybe it was the fact he was bent over), but I think he's just being written in an entirely different (ie. bad and annoying) way this season. Maybe Ben is secretly gay, and all Dean's hetero posturing has stunted his emotional growth or something.
Sera has to keep reminding us of How Important Lisa and Ben are to the show, because they're her creations and my guess is the arbitrary decision to pair them off with Dean in S5 was hers. The jig is up, lady. It was a bad s/l, so stop fucking trying to convince us it did anything but make the viewers give a collective WTF.
We need to start a petition to get Edlund running this bitch.
The Lovecraft thing pisses me off so much. First off, DEAN READS! Secondly, yes, Metallica fan and third, he's a hunter. Do they really want us to believe a hunter wouldn't know Lovecraft?
As captain of Team Smart!Dean, this offends me in ways I don't even...I do know this though, I'm ignoring this bit of "canon" as it is bullshit.
And you know the part that makes the hetero posturing worse? Is last weeks episode was all about his love for Castiel, and now we're supposed to regress from that sort of honest devotion to hurr I like sex with women. Which is great, yay, but it shouldn't be at the expense of his characterization.
I'm not even going to touch on the Ben thing.
Oh and yes, worst nightmare. She really needs to look up the definition of worst nightmare, doesn't she?
I am WTFing at Sera resorting to dumb!Dean in her script. So annoyed. How is Dean a hunter and not familiar with Lovecraft? Yeah...using Dean's "dumbness" for comic relief irks me as much as them using Castiel for comic relief.
But I'm not mad at the worst nightmare comment like I see lots of folks getting angry about right now -- Dean's worst nightmare is seeing ANYONE he cares about being hurt, especially if he sees it as his fault. I really don't like this idea that fandom has that Dean only cares about Sam/only cares about Sam getting hurt/killed. That's just not true. Dean's worst nightmare is anyone he cares for being in jeopardy. That's how I read it. ;)
