6.01

After discovering that the CW's schedule is devoid of Supernatural season 6 premiere re-plays for the next few days, I scurried over to the iTunes store and got my hot little hands on 6.01 ( Read more... )

Agreed, one hundered percent. I think I know what's different - Old!Sam had that little bit of Lucifer in him. That anger, that desire to rebel. Now he’s all nonchalant and calm and shizz. It's just not *Sam* :(
I was reminded of 2.20 too, and it made me epic sad. Methinks they need some heart-to-hearts & manly crying sessions. :) Heaven knows the fans can never get enough of those :D
I miss Cas, too. It doesn't feel like SPN anymore without the angels :/

I'm adamantly insisting that S6 won't really start until Castiel showed up. That's all there is to it.

My perspective on Sam is that having Lucifer inside him burnt out or outright killed many parts of him - Michael is mentioned as being the only archangel who doesn't leave his vessels a mess. I like to think that Lucifer's effect on his vessels is less physical than Raphael's, more a psychological thing than anything else (except in the case of poor Nick, who really wasn't built to take that).

This might be the season that makes me truly believe in the power of Wincest. I'm aching for those two to reconcile, and it's all hurty (2.20 actually hurts me so much to watch that I can't stand it).

Also, oh dear God, do I miss Lucifer.

Yeah, the angels have been such a big part of the show over the last two years, it's really not SPN without them any more.
WINCEST WILL SAVE THE DAY *cheers*

Introducing the angels was a total game-changer. Now, they're like, "we want to get back to Dean and Sam the way it was before" and we're all "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, FUCK THAT SHIT!"

*sighs* Wincest. Oh, the Wincest.
Given the fact that Sam wants Dean back so badly, and that Dean is doing that thing where he gives Sam a reason to feel things again and that Sam has been all warped by the Devil, I just might have a plot bunny or ten.
Or Castiel might come back, followed by Gabriel, and I'll forget all about Sam/Dean and go back to the angel pairings.

Yep - this. All of this.

Your icon makes me think of Lucifer, and how terribly I'm going to miss him.

Dude...me too. I love Marksha.

HOWEVER! He's going to be in the US version of Being Human. This pleases me :)

I know, and I'm terribly excited about it. Have you seen the actor playing his character's mentor-ee? I'm already shipping that so hard.

My first thought when I saw grandpa Campbell was: does he paint his eyebrows on?!

I know, right? He looks like he attended the Groucho Marx school of personal grooming.

1. This opener was so intellectual, for me. I have more thoughts on this, but I need to get food and get writing.

2. I'm pretty sure the lesson of this season is, "No, really. The world should've just ended."

1. It's been a few days since the premiere, and we still haven't sat down to do that deconstruction thing we do where we sit around making highly intellectual arguments until one of us decides to start perving on Misha. We should do that.
God, when I see you there will be SO MUCH NERDING. SOOOO MUUUUUUCH!

2. *ponders*
Naaaah. I think the lesson of this season may end up being either a. keep the guy who's been at the helm for the last five of them because he's probably the best person to wrap all this shit up (even though he decided he was done). b. it should have ended after 5.22. or c. man-love makes everything better. Srsly. Someone needs to shut up and make out already; Dean and Castiel are practically fucking canon. To say nothing of Sam and Dean's "erotic codependence".

Everyone seems to love that opening montage but me *facepalm*.

I was a little bummed that Azazel was only an hallucination, but it would have been ridiculous for them to actually bring him back. I still squeed when I saw him though. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed him.

Seeing Bobby was my favorite part of the episode. Weirdly enough. I didn't realize how attached I was to him, either.

Overall, I'm just really really curious where this season is going.

My excuse for liking the opening montage is that the visuals just made the difference between old Dean and new Dean seem so weird and achy. I read your post about 6.01, and I agree with you that it seems like a fan video, but I liked it just the same.

I was sad about Azazel being a nightmare, too, but like you, I think if they'd brought him back it would have been just too ridiculous. Miss him, though, so much. *sighs*. Aaah, for the days when being dead meant being dead. I was freaking out about 5.22 due to the potential for serious character death until I thought to myself, "even if they do kill off Cas or Bobby, they'll probably be back."

When I saw Bobby, my face contorted itself into a huge, stupid grin. Moar!!!!

I'm so anxious for 6.02-6.04, and to see where things go in general. I keep waiting for it to be Friday.

I can understand why people enjoyed the opening, but from a technical standpoint it was unnecessary *shrugs*.

Man, I can't even get upset about characters dying anymore, because it's more likely than not they'll be back within a couple of episodes *facepalm*. I don't know whether I like that or not. Sometimes I like knowing that when a character dies, they're gone for good, so that way I can celebrate or mourn accordingly.

Why is it so much harder to wait for Friday than it is for Thursday XD It feels like Friday is taking forever to get here! I don't like it! I sort like it being on Fridays better though, now that I think about it. That way I can stay up all night flailing if I need to without having to get up early for work the next morning XD
