6.14 A day late and a dollar short

Feb 19, 2011 21:13

Here we go! Flailing, capslocking and general incoherence behind the cut. Remember, I have NOT SEEN next week's promo. DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE, PLEASE.

( I don't know what a snookie is either... )

I went into this episode not expecting much but came out having quite enjoyed it, but then, I've always thought that mannequins were a bit creepy - something to do with their strange blank faces, I think. :D

Soooo creepy! I had no idea what the episode was about (I don't even watch previews for SPN), so I enjoyed it tremendously. :)

Honestly, I think Ben got one of the best lines of the season to date, "You say family is the most important thing to you, but then you walk out on us." (paraphrased)

Dean, you know I love you. But....What About That?

I am not a big Dean/Lisa shipper, I just wanna see a little more conflict from Dean-o over this point. After all, "Family" is the 2" X 4" the show wields most often in when making a point about morals or choices.

Oh, and I am glad I am not the only one who saw the Impala crashing into a building as a nod back to the Lady in White. ;)

I don't know how I feel about the 'wrap up' conversation at Bobby's: I mean, since when has life not sucked for hunters? Isn't that how almost all of them get started in the business in the first place? Haven't we heard the, "You Can't Win Em All Kiddo" speech a number of times? Isn't saving the ones you can the point?

*sigh*

Ben did get one of the best lines this season! Dean is such a mess of contradictions, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm not a Dean/Lisa shipper, but I've always liked Lisa and I'm... ambivalent about how Show is developing her character this season. I hope they do her justice in the end. And a little more conflict from Dean over this would be nice, I agree.

The car coming to life and chasing Dean? Totally a nod to Constance Welch. :D

The wrap-up conversation was... odd. But then, we have never heard Sam give Dean the "you can't save 'em all" speech before. It was always the other way around, and it was always Dean's mantra, something he would say almost by rote every time something went wrong. Dean's faith in hunting is wavering this season, if not broken, and I'm hoping that we're going to see him re-embrace the good parts of the life that he used to enjoy so much.

Yeah, Dean is usually the one talking Sammy down from his emo-high (emo-low? talking him up? IDK, I got nothing... *grin*). On the other hand, we've seen Dean go through the motions of throwing in the towel before (post-Hell). That time was not about choosing a life other than hunting, it was pretty much pure self-annihilation, but he was pretty far gone on the Fuck It All train back then ( ... )

/o\

Sorry about that, it seems I accidentally pulled on my 'ranty pants' when getting dressed this morning.

*blushes*

All i can say is, I blanked out a little when Dean pulled Sam off the floor...my mind went to, erm, more interesting places for a minute there! LOL *fans self*

Mannequins are creepy. If I passed one outside a window shop at night while the shop iteself is closed, i made sure my eyes aren't anywhere near the face!

ratherastory February 20 2011, 15:38:20 UTC

Heh. I was hoping for a little more from that scene, but I guess Show decided we'd seen enough of Sam with killer headaches. I dunno. I can't see them getting it on, either, when Sam is feeling like he's been hit by a planet. ;)

Oh and by the way? That was NOT northeastern New Jersey. For one thing, the couple million Black people were all conspicuously elsewhere.

ratherastory February 20 2011, 19:10:00 UTC

*snort*

*dies laughing*

Oh, Show. More fail.

I'm guessing it was more Vancouver than New Jersey. ;)

There are no small towns centered around factories, there are no factory workers who own neat houses in neat neighborhoods, and there are almost no white people in Paterson.

There is a community college in Paterson, though. It's boringly called Passaic County College. The waterfront area is called Great Falls, though which would be where they got Great Falls Junior College.

Whatever, I still get a buzz whenever a TV show admits that community colleges exist. Half the freshmen in the country are in 2-year schools, but TV doesn't usually think we're interesting.

I love your stream of consciousness. It's funny to see where our feelings on things were the same and different.

I have to say, I loved this episode waaaay more than the previous one. Me "Arachnids?! Seriously? I can buy dragons because there's lore about them turning human, but Arachnids??"... Ahem.

Yea, Dean is totally bi-polar.

I was hoping Sam would take the drugs. Drugs with Limp!Sam are always good!
