SPN 4.01 episode review or \0/

Is it next Thursday yet?



I really enjoyed this. I'm easy to please and I was hooked from start to finish.

A. Dean gasping in his grave totally pinged my need to cuddle him and feed him pie. Also, the grave marker makes me want to cuddle Sam. I love that it's a cross made out of scavenged wood. I think Dean would approve.

B. The opening titles are awesome. The birds and the effects completely creep me out. I wonder if birds will by symbolic or if it's just the wings.

C. That bow-legged walk down the road seriously melted my brain. It's in my top ten hot Dean moments.

D. Busty Asian Beauties. I'm so over it, wouldn't mind if they never mentioned it again.

E. Bobby. Bobby! I'm really glad I gave this character a chance. There have been moments I didn't like him, but this ep was a golden moment for him.

F. Dean's face when Bobby splashes him with holy water is the best thing ever. Ever.

G. Wedge Antilles. That's such a stretch and a bad pseudonym. Of course, then we get Dean's "Are you kidding me? What don't I know about that kid?" Turns out that it's a lot, and I think that's gonna hurt Dean worse than hell.

H. Oh, geeze! Sam's face when he sees Dean just breaks me. Then Dean's "Hey, Sammy." makes me into goo.

I. "Kristy's" exit makes me giggle. I love me some awkward Sammy.

J. I wonder if Sam's lying about pulling Dean out of hell. That's not quite what I was to say, because I'm sure that it was Castiel, but Sam looked awful shifty eyed like he wans't saying everything he knew. Probably it's just about his new mind whammy, but I just wanted to ponder aloud.

K. I totally made a high pitched noise when Sam reached for Dean's amulet. I just . . . I mean, poor Sam. And Dean can't take his eyes off it.

L. Flashbacks to hell = bad. Close up of freckles = OMG HOT.

M. Dean saying 'sweetheart' is enough to make chocolate melt.

N. Aw, don't harsh on Sam's iPod. Their faces at the music is just awesome.

O. Dean doesn't seem to have a thing against psychics, just Sam's powers. I wonder if he can still hear John's last words to him about Sam turning.

P. Dean/Pamela/Sam would be so freakin' hot. Scorching hot. I like her, too bad about that whole eye thing.

Q. I'll bet it took a lot of takes for Jared and Jensen to do the "You are not invited!" scene without someone laughing.

R. Dean slapping the demon was kinda shocking. I love that Dean went there, his hatred of demons is pretty unlimited. He's gonna be pissed to see Ruby again.

S. Bobby's "We could choose life!" cracks me up!

T. "It's the end. We're dead, we're all dead." I smell an apocalypse! I have a theory that it's not going to be so cut and dry as we all maybe think it will be. Then again, maybe I'm giving Kripke too much credit.

U. Sam exorcizing the demon with his powers could not have been cooler. I love me some empowered Sammy. He's just so calm, and collected. Before it was anger driving him, I'm not sure what this is.

V. Ruby. I hope they explain how she came back from wherever Lilith sent her. I like the new actress. I really like that for once Ruby doesn't know what's going on. I think how condescending she was last season really turned me off. She's got Dean pegged (but not like that) and I like that she considers him in her plans. I think she might have matured a little.

W. Dean and Bobby sitting around waiting was so funny. Castiel definitely knows how to make an entrance. I liked the wing effect better than actually seeing them. I think that actor is smokin', and I loved how he delivered his lines.

X. Why can't Dean see the angel's true visage? I'm sure this is important for the new mythology where going down. Is it because he lacks faith or because he either is or thinks he is unworthy?

Y. Dean/Jensen really nails it here. I love his story arc so much, I just wish that I knew for sure that he'd get the happy ending he deserves. He's given up so much for other people.

Z. "Because God commanded it. We have work for you."


So, what is Dean going to tell Sam in the next ep? Is he going to come clean about being God's chosen one or will Castiel make him swear his silence? When Sam and Dean finally get on the same page, there's going to be some major ouch going on.

Also, I think that this might be the season of wincest. Both guys have grown, and grown apart so they're going to have to figure out how they fit in each others lives again. Big brother and little brother isn't going to be enough to cut it. They have to be partners. It's hard to open your eyes and see that this person who you thought you had in this neat little box is actually their own person with their own mind. I was shocked when I figured that out about my little brother. : ) One look, and suddenly everything changes. Wincest, baby, it's poetry.

Okay no fooling, my best friend calls them Grumpy (the first couple episodes she saw were full of very angry Dean) and Floppy (for Sam's hair), and says that when she reads J2 she pictures them both as Jensen.

: ) Poor Floppy! Sam never gets the long end of the stick. He's always Tall Guy to Dean's Hot Guy.

...

Excuse me, I just went to a happy Jensen/Jensen place.

The happy Jensen/Jensen place is happy indeed. Now I'm wondering why there aren't more crossovers so people can pair up various Jensen characters.

Loved that. That whole scene was so playful. You know, until the eyeball burning that is.

yes, until the eyeball burning. f'ing hell that was..dirty pool

also in reference to dogma...i didn't really go that route until he said he was an angel of the lord and he has important work to do...

now of course I want Dogma as SPN fic...i know someone either made the art or actually wrote J2 Dogma fic...i've seen it

i only like dogma because it's so ~out~ there and hilarious...i miss that side of kevin smith

anywhosen...i'm trying to distract myself until the georgia/asu game...who does your team play today?

Burning out the eye sockets was so very gross and creepy. I love this show!

Man, good luck with Georgia. They wiped the turf with us last year and next year I think they're our home opener. We don't play today. I'm kinda glad for the break. Even when I don't go to the games, I still have to get out to the Student Union to watch them on TV and gamedays are crazy busy here. I think I'm gonna try to clean up a little around the house and try to write part of my bureaucracy paper.

Probably, I'll end up writing something fannish though. I'm weak like that.

yeah i'm a little worried but i'm also hoping after what happened with UNLV that they've managed to get angry enough to actually be a decent opponent and not get destroyed...but knowing the Sun Devils...i'm gonna turn it off shortly after the first play

also get the crazy here too...i can't go anywhere south of my house until at least tomorrow..the joys of living this close to campus without actually living there...my friend got stuck in the crazy traffic last weekend...

i know about the weak thing. i've gotta get started on my lesson plans...but i kinda wanna make icons and write some fic that's been bugging me and not do the crap i'm supposed to do...fannish is so much easier than figuring out how to cover Rome in a week and a half and give a midterm

You never can tell what will happen. There's always the chance that something crazy will happen. In the Big XII it's really bizarre. It's like on any given day any team can beat any other team. Sure, usually it's Oklahoma or Texas but you can never tell for sure until the fat lady sings. And the northern half of our conference is such a jumble that we hardly ever know who's gonna come out on top.

I took some education classes before I dropped that track and went back to polysci. In my ed-tech class we had to do a powerpoint presentation over something that applied to our field. So I did government and compared Star Wars the republic and empire to Rome's senate and emperor. Yeah, I'm that much of a geek. : )

I'm going to campus later so I can use the fast reliable internet to download caps from SPN 4x1 so I can make icons later. It's so addicting.
