6.01 Episode reaction post
Okay, time for your regularly-scheduled episode reaction post, AKA ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ratherastory FLAILS INCOHERENTLY AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN.
This is all stream-of-consciousness, as the show plays, or sometimes just afterward depending on how lost in the episode I get.
Obviously, there will be spoilers.
Ooh, black & white recap.
2 seconds in and Dean is breaking my heart.
Awwuh, the small smile. *cries*
Dean's in a truck! Oh, this is going to mess with my head, the b&w flashbacks contrasted with the present. Nice choice of song, even if it doesn't really correspond with my mental image of Dean.
Ack! Teaching Ben car stuff! *weeps*
Oh, track pants. Not your best look, Deano.
Checking on Ben... oh, man. My HEART.
Oh, and the stuff under the bed. Once a hunter, always a hunter.
WOW. Nice opening title!
Who's this guy? Quit being nosy, Random Dude™.
Ha-ha! “Pest control.” Oy vey. “No idea what's in some people's walls.” You tell 'em, Dean.
Dean. Still collecting women's numbers. Ooh, he tore up the number! We all knew he was faithful at the last, right?
Eek! Screaming! Come on, Dean... be a hero! I know that's what you do. (I'm betting it's a hoax.)
DJ Sam on the poster? I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SHOW!
I know this is meant to be all creepy and atmospheric, but I'm too busy admiring the jacket...and possibly Dean's ass in those jeans, but I'm not admitting that out loud
Creepy abandoned hotel is creepy.
PIGEON! Nice nod to the series premiere there, Show. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE AGAIN!
Claw marks. Claw marks are never goo —CRAP, BLOOD!
Who're you talking to, Dean?
Still drinking, I see. And lying to Lisa. Not a healthy foundation for the relationship.
Devil's Trap under the rug! Lisa has to know about all that, so why lie about other things?
More claw marks. GAH! *bites fingernails*
BIG claw marks. Holy crap.
And the laundry! Jesus. I love this show. It's the details that make it work. Anyone else remember the bloodied baby carrier in Croatoan?
LOL Dog! Same dog as in Yellow Fever? I wonder if the Yorkie belongs to someone on set.
Possums kill! *dies*
SULPHUR! ACK!
Oh, random neighbour dude whose name I've already forgotten, don't try to understand. It's best if you stay in the dark. Sid. That's his name.
Okay, not exactly lying to Lisa.
“Careful's my middle name.” Oh, Dean. Bunny!
LEATHER JACKET! PUT IT ON! Oh, and he still has Dad's journal.
LIGHTBULB! ACK!
*flails*
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD...
*chews on fingers*
That better be Ben... it's a soccer ball, after all.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD IT'S THE YELLOW-EYED DEMON! TELL ME IT'S A DREAM OR SOMETHING FUUUUUUUCK!
(I wonder if they've fixed those contact lenses so Fredrick Lehne can see now)
SAM! HOLY FUCK!
What did he just stab him with, anyway? That looked like a syringe...
“I was expecting a hug? Some holy water in the face?” I WANTED A HUG TOO, SAMMY!
Ooh, poisoned. Keen. That's a twist I didn't expect.
OWWWW.... I never get used to seeing them slice themselves open.
Sam's awfully... matter-of-fact.
YAY HUG!
Except Sam doesn't look like he's enjoying it.
The inevitable Sam's-been-back-for-a-year-and-didn't-call conversation...
Sam? Family? What?
Gwen Campbell? Christan? What?
I thought all of Mom's relatives were gone too, Dean.
HOLY FUCK SAMUEL!
Erm... I'm confused. Not confused, exactly. I'm... unconvinced.
Oooh! Djinn! That's cool. Really liked the concept in Season 2
Eep! Lisa and Ben! OH NO!
Aww, Sam's still got the puppy eyes down.
SHIT SHIT SHIT DON'T LET LISA AND BEN DIE I WILL HATE THE WRITERS FOREVER!
OH THANK GOD.
(Damn, Ben has grown up.)
BOBBY!!!!!!
“If you're here, something's wrong.” Oh, Bobby.
Reader's Digest and “loaded décor.” Hee!
Ouch. Bobby knew about Sam and didn't say. All year. Really ouch.
YAY SHOW FOR ACKNOWLEDGING HOW FUCKED UP DEAN WAS AND HOW HE ALMOST FUCKED UP BEN AND LISA'S LIFE. AND THE DRINKING TOO MUCH AND THE NIGHTMARES AND OF COURSE HE WOULDN'T LET IT GO!
“Do I look out to you?” Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch!
“I should've known that something would come because something always does.”
Oh God, Dean.
“You're an idiot.” YAY LISA!
LISA IS AWESOME! \o/
Where the hell is the Impala?
Yeah, I don't like Cousin Christian.
“See, it's almost like I'm a professional.” YAY DEAN! See how Dean is awesome and you are not, Cousin Christian?
Oh, hey, the other cousin whose name I forget is the guy from Flashpoint!
GOLF! OH MY GOD DEAN PLAYS GOLF I LOVE IT THERE NEEDS TO BE FIC!
We all know Dean is like his mother, Samuel. :P
Ooh, the supernatural world is running amok! Exciting times! I also like the fact that the Campbells stick together. That's neat.
There were vampires on the Mayflower? Awkward.
Fuck you, Samuel! Dean should be allowed to play golf if he wants to! HE SAVED THE GODDAMNED WORLD!
Djinn in the trees? Really? Weeeeeird.
At least Sam knows Dean knows his stuff.
Aww, Sam! I told you last year: QUIT ASKING PEOPLE IF THEY'RE OKAY WHEN THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT!
Ooh, that was a HELL of a flinch when Dean mentioned the cage. And NO, Sam doesn't want to talk about it. SHOCKER.
And the Djinn went after the neighbours. Shocking. IT'S A TRAP, DEAN!
Oh, now THAT is cool! Self-tattooing whatsits.
Oh, no! Sid... Dead because you're friends with Dean. Crap. :(
Ooh, the original Djinn's kids! Cool. Family is family, it seems.
WOW. SAM IS FREAKIN' BADASS.
Come on, Dean, keep it together! They're not real! Neither is he! DEEEEAAAN!
AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
*flails*
I love that Sam is using the golf clubs. I'm not sure why.
The Campbells are, unsurprisingly, up to something that they're not telling the Winchesters. SHOCKING. Really. This is my surprised face.
Yay, Dean! Going back to Lisa and Ben. Good on you, dude, although I wish you'd try to drag Sam back with you. :)
Sam... WTF? Is Dean still hallucinating? It doesn't seem like it.
“I wouldn't even think to try.” OH, GOD. Sam, what the hell happened to you? I WANT MY SAMMY BACK! THE ONE WHO RESCUES KITTENS OUT OF TREES BECAUSE HE CARES!
SAM DOESN'T WANT THE IMPALA OH GOD.
*cries and cries and cries*
NO GOODBYE HUG? WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK?!?
FUCK, SHOW, I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS! IS IT NEXT FRIDAY YET?

I like your X theory, although I'm willing to think that Sam is just emotionally shut down after the cage. Completely. Dean was all sorts of fucked up after hell, and Sam's experience had to be just as bad (if different). It would surprise me if he WASN'T trying to close himself off from that.
no subject
But it'd be a different flavor of crazy then we've seen from him before.
Though in some ways I wouldn't mind a little actual "came back wrong" as opposed to "possibly came back wrong" and "has ANGST! from HELL!"
If only because i'm a little bored with those and I crave novelty.
I'm really rooting for something like lost a little piece of himself or still has a piece of lucifer floating around. You know, something you could maybe base a little bit of a quest on.
Or! If he's been mind-whammied. I could go with that too.
no subject
I will totally be on board if he came back wrong! Because, well, it would be cool and I am DONE with that kind of angst. Two years is enough, and I'd actually like for it to be something fixable. Potentially. :)
no subject
Also, I can just see Bobby and Dean being kind of relieved about it.
Their fake conversation in my head goes like this:
*ringring*
"Hey, Bobby. Sam came back wrong."
"Ya think?"
"Actually- yes."
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Yup. Why? What do you think?"
"Well- truth is, I'm inclined to agree with you."
"Okay then."
"You sure you don't want to...I don't know... look all devastated and try to deny it, and then I could argue with you and drop some wisdom about family life?"
"Nope, I'm good."
"That's a relief."
"... so how do we fix it?"
"uh...let me get back to you on that one. I still have all books out the last false alarm." *click*

If they did that I think I could die happy. HEE! XD

I mean, sure, so casually dropping a plot thread would be... questionable, but it's not like they've not done it before. I'd get over it. I'd love them forever for letting that particular dead horse decompose in peace. (Also: family anvils. I mean, parallels.)
