Oct. 15th, 2007 08:04 pmIs it kind of douchey of me that I sort of want Dean to go to Hell? I mean, at this point, anything short of that is going to be anticlimactic, isn't it? Mostly I think I want the Deathbed Drama to end all Deathbed Dramas but Hell's got to follow that, doesn't it? Not that I'm saying I actually want to see Hell because given the fact that this show is on network and has a piss-poor budget you could never really Hell it up in a good way and it would just be corny and awful. And you know, some things are best left to the imagination. But if Dean gets bailed out of his deal then what's left? No no no, someone's got to take that express elevator, going down.
Did any of you ever see Angel Heart with Mickey Rourke? That was the scariest frigging movie ever made about anyone selling their soul. Gory as hell, too. Heh, hell.
I also want more scenes of Dean sleeping. Season One was full of them. I should do a list. Dean sleeping on his stomach. Dean sleeping on his back. Dean sleeping shirtless. Dean sleeping in little black shorts. Season Two, nada and no, the coma doesn't count.
The beating Dean takes at PossessedSam's hands in "Born Under a Bad Sign" is one of the best ever. Best part? When Sam digs his hands into Dean's bullet wound and Dean clutches Sam's wrist to try and get him off and Sam grabs Dean's hand and just hurls it off with such contempt. Kudos to both of them for such a beautifully choreographed scene. Go watch it. In slow motion. Also really enjoyed Dean's photegenic nosebleed and the blood on his teeth. Nice touch. Second best thing was Dean, later, holding an ice pack to his face. For what?? The man barely has a mark on him, even after a pounding from PossessedSam that should have left all his teeth on the floor...at the least. This guy! "Strapping" indeed. My dictionary defined "strapping" as "displaying extraordinary constitution," and boy, ain't that the truth.
I need to stop drinking at dinner. Is anyone even listening to me anymore? Were you ever? You think it's easy being the nuttiest person in the room? It's not.
Ruby will be the worst of both worlds, or best, depending upon your proclivities. She will be both demon and human. After all, demons in the SPNverse need to possess someone don't they? So somewhere inside DemonRuby is the real, sweet, charming and oh-so-glossily blonde Ruby whom Sam will fall in luuuuuurve with. Heh. Wait and see.
Total tangent but you could make a pretty interesting analysis of the fact that Ruby's demon nature is partially revealed through her appreciation of french fries. Not booze, not drugs -- french fries. You'd think it would at least be (clutch pearls here) cigarettes, but it's greasy, fattening fried food. A) This is one fucking tame demon and B) what does it say about the image of women that only one who's possessed would ever be seen in public scarfing giant steak-cut fries with a bowlful of ketchup? Hmmmm?

It's the ultimate Film Noir with The Devil and Daniel Webster thrown in. So awesome!!! I remember running out and reading the book too--though this is one of those cases where I liked the movie better. I remember being annoyed when I saw somebody list it under "Movies that make no damn sense" and I was like--huh? This movie makes perfect sense. Chillingly perfect sense. And the imagery isn't just thrown in there, it's all pointing to the truth!

You get so sucked into this movie, it has that quality of a waking nightmare that you just can't wake up from. And that you won't ever wake up from BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!

And a side order of Ellen Harvelle wouldn't be bad right about now, either.

Date: 2007-10-16 06:46 am (UTC)If this is true, what Sam should be doing is exorcising her arse instead of indulging in cute banter. However he’s obviously not going to (interesting: Dean is prepared to sacrifice himself for his brother, while Sam is prepared to sacrifice someone else) so, if the real Ruby does ever get out, she ought to be using the heels of those fuck-me-now boots of hers to do some serious damage to Sam's manly bits instead of falling in lurve with him.

Date: 2007-10-16 01:20 pm (UTC)I don't think it's occurred to him yet considering he just found out she's posessed and then immediately after that found out that she might be able to save Dean. But yeah, if they don't address this issue in future episodes, that's gonna be really, really sloppy. Actually, this would be the second time that Sam has sacrificed someone else for Dean's sake. In "Faith" he did so unwittingly, but when he eventually did find out that some innocent person had died to save Dean's life, his reaction was basically that the guy would have died "anyway." Sam can always justify this to himself by saying that he has every intention of exorcising Ruby after she saves Dean, of course. Not very nice either, but hey. I'd do the same thing, but hey, I know I'm a sucky excuse for a human being. They'll probably cop out and have Ruby tell Sam that she'll kill her human host if he attempts an exoricism, thereby removing this potentially interesting conflict for Sam.
if the real Ruby does ever get out, she ought to be using the heels of those fuck-me-now boots of hers to do some serious damage to Sam's manly bits instead of falling in lurve with him.
The non-posessed women on this show tend to be pretty passive, especially once they've been doused with that irresistible Winchester charisma, so I wouldn't expect any manly-bits damage in the near or distant future.
