Really? No... REALLY?

It's hot and cold, this Supernatural. In which I give my brief reaction to

001. The upped the angst. Thumbs up!


002. I know she's supposed to be "snow white." But in a coma for at least 8 years and she's wearing more make-up than the corner store hooker? Um, no. Metaphors, people. Metaphors.


003. Sam is gay and can do things with pens. Angsty over-the-shoulder glances. Wincest subtext? Check!


004. So um, maybe Ruby isn't, Lucifer. But a girl can dream. And holy crap I missed her this ep! Yes really!


005. Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. She has so little stage presence. I do not understand how they could possibly think she would be good for that role. She gives a bad name to all the other crossroads demons before her. Honestly. Honestly. The entire scene was just awkward. (Whereas all the other crossroads scenes before it seemed tense and electric.) Sandy's acting makes me cry. Plus they had her made up all wrong. That's just facts, ladies and gents.

I reiterate what I said to you on google.

Hee! Suddenly I miss Jo.

[workswithwords.livejournal.com]

Me too. :(

1. Awesome. That scene in the hospital "do you want me to just let you go dean"...Oh boys. You sure know how to break a girls heart sometimes. AND oh and the scene in the hospital earlier, when one of the piggies was like "my brother is dead, how would you feel"...gah

2. Right?! Pfff..Dumb

3. So many revalations this year..Sam IS gay indeed, he is a master with his hands - a fact for which Dean can totally vouch!
And again with the angst, Sam can't just let him go because they are in epic love with each other! ;) On a serious note though, I am really glad they're uppin the angst, even if it's just a little, that they're addressing Dean's problem more. I like that.

4. Ruby, oh Ruby. I missed her too! I said that to my mom while we were watching, she agrees with us (in case you were wondering). I really, truly have enjoyed Ruby so far. Bella is dumb, but Ruby, I definitely think her character has a lot of potential to become very awesome. And I think Katie Cassidy's acting is kinda rubbing off on me.

5. *sigh* Sandy...wow, I'm actually REALLY glad Sam shot her so there's no chance of her ever making a guest appearance again. Because..wow. Akward is definitely the right word. I don't think they played off each other very well either, maybe it's just because we're used to seeing Dean interact with the crossroads demons, but I really don't think she and Jared worked very well on screen together.

01. Yes! YES!

04. I'm not sure about the acting, but compared to Sandy it's Oscar-worthy. But YAY! I'm glad your mom agrees with us. I love your mom.

05. No they really didn't. Which is shockingly the last thing you'd expect. I didn't expect to be so underwhelmed by her performance in general.

0004. Yes! I was sadly deprived today.

0005. That was kind of awkward the exchange. I mean, I get why it needed to be there. I kind wished that the demon didn't show - it was really eerie, the beginning, when he was turning around.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was pretty eerie at that part. I liked the camerawork.

[isis2015.livejournal.com]

That was Sandy? Seriously? I didn't even recognize her. And they had, like, zero chemistry going on. :/ Which is shocking, because they're so cute in real life. Weird, weird, weird.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Zero! And I was shocked too, believe me. I find it really kind of ironic that the real life couple has zero on-screen chemistry.

Though part of that may be because her performance was... less than stellar. I read a review somewhere tonight in which someone said that when you looked at Jared in that scene, you were watching Sam. But when you looked at Sandy, you were watching Sandy, trying to act. And that pretty much covers it.

She may have been better in another role. She didn't do well with this part at all, imo.

001 and 003. I felt like I got back my brother love this episode. The last few were...It was there. But not quite as much as before. This one was just amazing. Lots of discreet Sammy/Dean small smiles and glances.

005. You'd think that if Sandy was supposed to be Sam's "ideal woman" (as stated by Jared in his TV Guide interview), that there'd be a bit more chemistry than there was. Not necessarily...you know. But something more than there was. I don't even know how to explain it, except that there just...wasn't anything. Like you said. There was just no electric.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

005. AND! I have been reading some reviews and it seems like not a lot of people got past the "OMG SANDY!"-ness of it to see the bad. Cause bad, it certainly was!

001. *mirrors that gesture in icon*

002. Hee, who said you couldn't be all pretty lying in bed all day?

003. I'm no wincester but I LOVE it when they put stuff like that in there. *snorts*

004. *seconds that* Kinda makes you wonder too, what she did to piss of a fellow demon...

005. Yeah, her little presence might also be due to the fact that I tend to compare that scene with Dean's encounters with crossroad demons which were in themselves more electrified and superior. But those cute little crossroad demons are supposed to be the person's dream partner or something, right? Maybe Sam is all for the quieter girls, no? That aside, I missed the more playfull demons too though^^

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Well I thought she was trying to be playful and was failing miserably. Hahaha. I dunno, I realize that I'm in the minority (at least from what I've read around LJ) in not liking her performance in the very least. But there it is.
