annundrielI was on a roadtrip this past weekend so I wasn't sure I'd get to watch this. Especially since we were going out to dinner with long unseen family members. But we were back at our hotel early and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sdrohc_ratiug and I hunkered down and enjoyed ourselves.
I'll post roadtrip pics later.
I feel like this is kind of a half-assed reaction post. ::shrug:: I've had a very long day.
Supernatural - "Live Free or Twihard"
- Generally hiLARious, especially the beginning. In fact, the only thing that did not work for me in this episode was the vision Dean had. It felt like they were trying too hard, I thought.
The man in it looked familiar, but I can't remember from where.
- And when I say "the only thing that did not work for me," I'm not thinking about the things that have been point out since then.
Like the reaction to the gay kiss in the bar. I'd have to see it again. I just thought they were disappointed they had the wrong mark.
- Dean not playing for his team. I'm maintaining he just meant that guy wasn't his type. I can pretend whatever I want.
If we're not pretending that, though, then there is an element of "Dean doth protest to much."
perfumaniac and I discussed this a bit, particularly the discrepancies between s1-s3!Dean who was generally "whatever" about being seen as gay and the Dean we see now.
I've got several ideas on this that I need to ponder some more.
- LOL. Old man Dean.
- Sam and Grandpa Skinner: in cahoots? working for similar purposes? working at cross purposes?
- I've been thinking about connections between capturing the djinn, taking the shapeshifter baby, and allowing Dean to be turned. Dean's played a big part in these. A big, bait-like part.
- I wasn't shocked by Sam's behavior. I mean, there was definite "WTF?" but that didn't so much have to do with Sam letting Dean get walloped and more to do with, I don't know, them letting us see that Sam purposefully didn't interfere? We already knew something was up with Sam; the shock was more that they were going that far this soon. Does that make sense?
- What is up with Sam? I remain unspoiled for the season. Except for that 6.06 clip.
I hope that he's not just, y'know, evil. Plain old evil is boring.
I don't really have any theories of my own, though.
- Vampire!Dean. I have ridiculous fic ideas.
How hot was he with the creepy and the blood and the ass-kicking? Nnnnngh. (I want Dean and Leon to be kicking ass and taking names together, and then making out against a wall, weapons still in hand.)
- I would like the Lisa thing to be over. Not in a "I am tired of this" way, just in a...clearly Dean is unstable and has issues and maybe this just isn't going to work kind of way. Also, he pushed Ben.
I really don't want either Lisa or Ben to be hurt. They don't deserve that.
- I know some people are really disappointed with how this season is going, but I think it's really interesting. It's early days yet, being only five episodes in, but I feel like they're setting up pieces on the board for something big.
I hope I'm right.
