Dear Supernatural

[darkemeralds]

Yeah.



ETA: Hey! I really enjoyed tonight's episode. Watching it, I felt my fannishness and SHOW love coming back. I'm engaged again, I'm really interested to know what's wrong with Sam, I loved scrappy heroic Dean, and even Pa Campbell seemed okay to me--though I gather the fandom as a body kind of hates him.

I enjoyed the absence of angels (not that I don't love Cas--I do!--but I find the angel storylines murky, at best), and the whole episode moved along at a good, almost exposition-free clip that didn't give me too much time to think about, say, why Lisa's still putting up with Dean, let alone time to check my email.

So, yay for the return to a form of SPN like what I fell in love with. Also, Jensen. Guh.

Right??? I swear, he was supernaturally good-looking this ep. I get that folks are fed up, I do, but me, I found this ep to be incredibly exciting! What an interesting reveal--and Samuel is freaked out by Sam too? Oooooo!

The only thing that makes me mad is they persist in treating Dean like a civilian. I wish Dean would kick all their asses!

I thought it was an outstanding ep! Last week, too. I swear, it's like old times on SPN! This ep had it all--horrific, funny, hot, slashy, the angst-ridden relationship of Sam and Dean, is-he-or-isn't-he Evol Sam, and My!Hero!Dean!

I liked it a lot, and am about to rewatch. \o/

I love that image. Yeah, indeed.

The introduction to the episode was squirm-inducing. I actually felt embarrassed that I got all the Twilight references. :D

Have to say, Dean comes off as a total badass in this. Okay, saying goodbye to his girlfriend and accidentally pushing Ben around was bad, although I realise it wasn't entirely his free choice, but everything else he did in this episode was so good. He showed incredible moral strength by resisting drinking, as well as sheer insane hunterliness, killing his way through that nest of vampires. It was brilliant. I felt so sorry for him, though. His memory of Sam just standing back and letting him get turned was heart-breaking. I can't believe he just got in the Metallicar with him at the end. I would have dropped him like a hot potato.

Poor Dean! And wtf is up with Sam? The resolution had better be satisfying, damn it.

I liked Samuel's grandfather's journal, which must date back to the early 1800s, and I loved the building that the vampire nest was set in. It was desperately in need of a good scrub a beautiful structure.

Your comment prompted me to go back and notice the building, and the result is a whole new post!

I got all the Twilight references, too, but (she says self-righteously) NOT because I've read the books or seen the movies. Hee! I just figured the damn thing is so much in the zeitgeist right now that most everyone would get most of it.

After reviewing the episode in detail, I'm really extra curious to understand what Sam's up to. I think he must be on a mission, but from whom? And what is it?

I'm as surprised as anyone to find myself interested in a season six that I thought for sure was going to make me break up with Show.
