Okay, two episodes down and all I have to say is...

BEST SEASON EVAH.

So far...

I don't know if the writers took some kind of...course or went on some corporate retreat over the summer or what but whoa. It's like...this is what I've been wanting this show to be.

Full review to come tomorrow but...

TWO episodes in a ROW with Dean sleeping? Sleeping in THE CAR nonetheless?? I think I'm starting to believe in God too.

And WTF people? Is Jensen Ackles looking more gorgeous than ever or am I just so besotted that my perception is skewed?

And Castiel is just...whoa. Renders me inarticulate. LOVE LOVE LOVING this character. These writers are bringing their A-game. It's about fucking time.

Yes, I agree, this was another great episode. And Jensen is looking fine.

Castiel is a fascinating creature, but I don't think he's divine, no matter what he says. He threatened to toss Dean back into Hell. Angels may be God's warriors, but I can't see them doing something that evil.

But they would! Castiel is 100% right about angels in the Bible. They are sons of bitches. It was an angel who threw Adam and Eve out of Paradise, an angel who destroyed Sodom and supposedly an angel who guards the gates of hell to make sure no one can get out. Actually I don't know if any of that's Biblical but it's apocryphal. It's so great. So great. I love that they've abandoned the Whedonish snark and gotten down to business and are embracing this type of lore with no tongue in their cheeks. Like I said, about fucking time.

I agree with you about the way they're tackling this season. And I have to say, I heart Bobby with great love.

I know some people gripe about Bobby being overutilized but I really love the character. Maybe he doesn't need to be in every episode but I'm never disappointed by what he brings to the show.

Totally agree that Jensen is looking extra-smokin' this season.

Castiel rules. This season is riveting so far, and I hopehopehope the rest is as good.

RIVETING! YES! It's like it's a whole new show! I notice there's a new producer in the credits, maybe he has something to do with it. Whatever, I just hope they keep it up!

I thought the same thing, "this is a whole new show." It feels like I'm watching the REAL Supernatural, after 3 seasons of warmup.

YES YES YES...you know what this feels like? It feels like...really great fanfic. And I mean that as the highest of praise.

[oxer12.livejournal.com]

YES! Perfect.

You're right. It feels like Dean and Sam have both grown up. They're not boys anymore, they're men, and Dean especially, has been through such a soul-changing experience.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Man, they really have taken this in a powerful new direction. I hope they keep it up. It may drive us all crazy before the end of the season, but I don't think I mind.

I can't wait to do my review tomorrow. The show was so good I almost started taking notes during the middle of it but I couldn't tear myself away from the TV.

"Is Jensen Ackles looking more gorgeous than ever?"
I was thinking that myself.

How about when Castiel loomed in and said, "You should show me some respect"? I just died on the spot. And the look on Dean's face...

[oselle.livejournal.com]

I DIED TOO. I was a splotch on the floor! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS IS!! I HAVE NOTHING TO BITCH ABOUT! I...I....

Re: it was awesome...no question...

Sam's powers seem to work primarily on demons...perhaps not on spirits? I kind of love that Meg brought up Sam's willingness to keep company with a demon who's body-snatching with no compunction. There's a real moral equivocacy here that's never been addressed (except by fans!) and I love that they're bringing it into the show.

I totally agree - with this being the best season as well as Jensen looking absolutely gorgeous!

And I love the character of Castiel so far...I am kind of liking the idea of the avenging angels instead of the "fluffy Hallmark version."
