SPN 6:05: Live Free or Twihard
That sucked. No pun intended. I mean it really sucked. It's not even worth doing my usual blabbity-blah because it just sucked.
You may be thinking that I thought it sucked because we now know beyond any doubt that Sam not only doesn't care about Dean but will actively put him in harm's way, even to the point of being killed. Actually, it's even worse than that, he's willing to use Dean as some sort of...science experiment. He's a paranormal Dr. Mengele. Okay so, point taken: Dean means nothing to Sam except for however Sam can exploit him to satisfy whatever sick curiosity. Got it.
What sucks is that I know that none of this will matter. It will never receive a satisfactory explanation or resolution, Sam will be unjustifiably exonerated, Dean will apologize for... something, and Sera Gamble will give an interview talking about how cool it all is. THAT, my friends, is what sucks.
ETA: Oh, and what was that "maybe your brother has some Campbell in him after all" crap? Shut the fuck up, gramps. Where were you when the apocalypse was going down, big shot? Hiding out at your compound with the rest of your sociopath douchebag militia?

Maybe I can dl this one and at least get to see Dean vomiting. Because I do have a barf kink. *shrug*

I liked Dean passing out. I have a passing-out kink and Jensen's really good at it.

Oh, this. This, this, this. I am actually interested up to a point… but this makes it utterly clear that there is something influencing Sam, because otherwise they can't possibly hope to get back to the brotherly dynamic. And that's where my interest fizzles and dies, because part of this surely needs to be Sam owning his actions and repenting. But, nah it never is: he's soulless, or dissociative, or maybe he isn't really Sam. Something's wrong with Sam – it must be Friday. Yawn, so widely it just gave me a temporomandibular joint disorder that means my jaw will click loudly for the rest of my life every time I open my mouth too wide.

ETA: I'm coming up with 30 hours. By Sam's reckoning, he was in hell for just a hair over one day. Cakewalk.

Dean was in the good part…

If it wasn't for this, I would actually be loving this season.

I do feel though that this season lacks a certain energy (except for last week) but I think that's partially because I'm still getting a sense that the scripts are too big and end up being reworked in the editing room so the pacing is kind of wonky.
I hate to admit it but I am reluctantly intrigued with what is going on with Sam even though I am expecting a huge whitewash to come out of it. As long as they don't turn it around on to Dean at some point, I think I will be relatively happy.

I've also given up on the brotherly "bond" but not on the brothers themselves, since the two main characters have always been what the show's about. Now it looks like one of them has at last completed the final leg of his journey to becoming an absolute, irredeemable son-of-a-bitch and I would LOVE to be intrigued by that, I know I'm SUPPOSED to be intrigued by that, but I can't be. I have no capacity to be intrigued by whatever's going on with Sam. Whitewash it, handwave it, sweep it under the rug and forget about it -- you know that's what will happen, so there's just no point in letting myself get caught up in "where Sera Gamble's going with this." She's not going anywhere.

And, hey, writers, all the heavy handed not subtle at all slamming of Twilight is not clever, it's just in poor taste, and it smacks of sour grapes. This is from someone who's anti-Twilight.
no subject
I think it's funny as hell that all the vamps were deliberately recruited because they were attractive but Boris himself was an ugly mofo. Heaven forbid the writers throw us some fanservice by having Dean get manhandled and turned by some leatherclad prettyboy.
As far as the Twilight mockery...Twilight is so awful it's almost impossible to mock. The fake passage that Dean read out loud was nowhere near as dreadful as anything you'll find in the actual books. And if you're going to make fun of something, you should at least be consistent -- they didn't even make an effort to make those book jackets look like the real ones (a look that would be very easy to duplicate) and why did Dean mention "Lautner" as if they were talking about the real Twilight series and not a parody of it?
no subject
As for Sam, etc.--I just can't be fucked to care...
So, less invested, but shallowly pleased *g*
