Man, I'm telling you, Rita, I'm nominating you to do the SPN reviews at TVGuide.com because your words can rival Tina's! :-)
SPN has beaten the Timeslot From Hell, limited ads, its own third season(Rubela, sigh), and Dawn Ostroff to stand tall at its 100th ep!
It really is amazing we've made it this far, isn't it? SPN is just the little show that could!
And thank you, thank you, Jeremy, for writing a script that wrung me dry. I screamed, I cried, I cheered, I even "WTF?" a couple of times.
It's the sign of a good show that it can take you on a roller coaster ride like that in only 45 minutes.
I can't understand the Dean hate that's been going around, other than some fans might prefer that Dean just be a snarky ladies' man.
I'll never understand the hate, either. I mean, characters change and grow over the years and Dean is no exception. It would be boring if he never changed from season one.
But Dean has always been damaged, and to see him packing away that leather jacket and gun choked me up; it was as if he was scouring away his own identity, paving the way for Michael.
My heart ACHED for Dean like never before during that whole scene with the packing and the letter and the drinking.
Jared was MAGNIFICENT. While Dean's faith in him had withered, Sam's faith in Dean never changed
I couldn't agree more. It truly was the first time this season that I've loved Sam. I've missed not being able to like him so I hope he doesn't change.
(note to Dean: Sam did not 'run away' when he left for Stanford. He WENT TO COLLEGE. HE WANTED A LIFE. Maybe that will always stick in Dean's craw as desertion, but I think that is more of Dean's four-year-old self talking, not Dean as an adult.
That thinking will never change for Dean. Sam left his family, no matter what the reason and Dean felt betrayed and abandoned. If he's still feeling that way almost 10 years later, he'll always feel that way.
P.S: The one thing I'm not liking lately is the return of Lisa. A lot of fans seem to believe that it means that Ben is really Dean's son. Lisa seems like a nice lady, but frankly, she and Dean just had sex, so I don't understand this 'connection' Dean has with her. Oh well, moving on..)
I honestly believe that Dean thinks Ben is his son (and I have to agree) and that's the reason he feels a connection to Lisa. If there was no child Dean wouldn't be feeling like this. Heck, he had way more of a connection to Cassie than Lisa!
Misha was, of course, his usual incredible self. I've been panting for more angel 'swordplay': we got that and more, But oh my, was Cas a BAMF or what?? (Aaand we got a glimpse of angel food cake--yummy!)
Cas kicked ass!. The little nerdy angel finally didn't get the crap beat out of him but handed out some of his own. "Angel food cake" - LOL! Oh, that was brilliant! I need to slow that scene down frame by frame. *g*
And Adam's back! I admit, I didn't really enjoy watching "Jump the Shark" because I was really apprehensive about another Winchester brother.
Although I love Jake as a person I've never cared for Adam or the third brother storyline so I wasn't excited to see him again. The only thing that made it better was the fact that John wasn't the perfect father to Adam like the ghoul had led them to believe.
I wish Kurt Fuller could be! The best villains are the ones you'll miss; I just loved Zachariah, and I loved hating him. If Kurt ever appeared at a con, I know he'd get a standing ovation from the fans for his fabulous work. Bravo, Mr. Fuller!
He was actually at his first con in L.A.! Zach was awesome. I know Kurt was disappointed to find out that he was going to be playing another bad guy, but he was fantastic! You loved to hate him. :-)
And the ep ended the way I always wish they did...with our bros in Lady M, together and on the same page, driving to what's next. Can't wait.
One of the best endings in quite sometime!
Oh, and 'blow me, Cas'? And 'erotically co-dependent'? YESSSSSSSS....
LOL! Holy crap, Charity and I nearly fell off the couch both times! You're a sly one, Jeremy. ;-)
