SPN 6:02: Two and a Half Men

Sigh.

Why did Sam take the baby in the first place?
I don't know.

Why are the Campbells "boxing up" monsters?
I don't care.

Who's Grampa Samuel talking to on that phone?
Yawn.

Dean whipping the tarp off that Impala and smiling at it like a long-lost love and giving me ten seconds of absolute bliss that literally left me giggling and kicking my feet in the air for five whole minutes?
YES YES GOD YES RIGHT THERE OH RIGHT THERE OH GOD YES YES YES....YES!!!

*lights cigarette*

Welcome back, baby. I'm just a goddamn sucker for you is what I am, you smooth, sweet-talking, two-faced bastard. I know you're never gonna treat me right, you just ain't got in you. But it's all right, baby. It's all right.

IDGAF about the *+~Campbell mystery~+* either. I'm not sure about the "monster are just people" thing they have going on either. It's not like we didn't know they had families before and it's just killing all the horror. *rambles*
And Lisa... ok, so they handled it surprisingly gracefully, but how about not writing yourself in a corner in the first place? I enjoyed Dean's angsty stares though.

So that they could learn about its shifty nature of course!!/Child care doesn't work weekends.

Okay, for some I couldn't stop thinking about the new information about shifters, but no matter which way I turn it it's always wildly inconsistent with what we previously learned. Accepted that the Alpha only collects the young shifters every 100 years (and previous shapeshifters didn't seem informed about their many relatives), how would they ever survive through infancy if they randomly exploded skin? The foster parents must have dropped them like a hot potatoe, and babies really don't survive long on their own. And on a more superficial notion: I wish they had a higher SFX budget for the Alpha. That shifting effect was so mindblowingly bad and the cool thing about the shifters was the gritty reality of the skin-shedding, why did they take that away for the more badass version? :/ I SHOULD JUST STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS SHOW AHH

Much as I expected when I heard this concept announced at ComicCon, I truly don't care about the origins, backstories or biologies of any of these monsters...and you had to know that everything about this was going to be wildly inconsistent with what we've learned before because this show is ALWAYS wildly inconsistent about its own lore, whether that's regarding boogeymen, angels, demons, heaven or what-have-you.

The Impala, however, is consistently shiny. At least there's something you can rely on.

I've just mentioned it elsewhere, but I liked the previous disjointednes of the supernatural beings. What they had in common was that they hurt people and could therefore be hunted. And now they have this thing going on that seems to imply all the supernatural beings are coming from one source or are united be their *supernaturalness* or whatever. I don't care about it. Too much information kills the creepiness. (I got the impression that we're supposed to think "oh look, they caught the poor thing! How mean." BUT WHO KNOWS).
As long as the Impala is shiny and Dean is pretty I will continue to watch, because I'm just that shallow. *sighs*

What bugs me is the notion of all these beings having "families" that they care about so much...talk about killing the creepiness. As you say, are we now supposed to start seeing these creatures as just...different species, not dark, twisted, evil beings that need to be exterminated? I didn't even like it back in Season One when Azazel said that Meg and that other guy were his "children" as if he had dandied them on his knee and taken them to Little League games. I can handle shades of gray to a certain extent, but I like my evil evil.

They'd better hold onto that shiny car and that pretty face for dear life.

I probably shouldn't mention it, but my most heartfelt reaction to Swan Lake was: "NOOO, NOT HIS PRETTY FACE". (Hope I'm not upsetting fans here.)

I want to write an essay about horror and mail it to Gamble, srsly. Because the shape-shifting changelings had serious creeper potential. I'm the last person to not appreciate shades of gray, but sometimes... no. I want my shades of grey in the characters I have actual emotional investment in, y'know?
I could live with Azazel's "family" because I can see it as a twisted mirror of actual affection and think he was just trying to fuck with Dean there and didn't really give a shit about them.

Lol, I just noticed the two different spelling of 'grey' in two sentences. Sorry about that.
