sailorhathorWill contain spoilers for this week's episode of "Supernatural."
Music montages! They were nice at first, now they're getting a little tedious. Although, if they are SPN's way of saying "Previously on Supernatural," then I can deal. Kinda neat, kinda makes me roll my eyes for some unknown reason.
I'm starting to type this post before the ep is over 'cause I'm all hyper and excited while watching episodes, heh.
EeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE, scary clown, scary clooooown. Clowns creep me out. John Wayne Gacy on SPN. I remember a clown was stalking the children's ward when I was in for my broken arm, and I pretended to be asleep when he came by 'cause he spooked me. Only male clowns do it to me, though. I'm not spooked by female clowns. *shrug*
Sam's afraid of clowns, heeheehee.
The knife-throwing was coooooool.
You know, I don't know a lot about claiming bodies and stuff, but how the hell did they get John's body out of the hospital to burn it on the Return of the Jedi bonfire? I wasn't under the impression that hospitals just let you throw a body over your shoulder and carry it out; "Thanks, we'll take it from here. See ya!"
Anyway, my reception is really bad. Was Dean crying? It looked like he was crying. Awwwww. :*( I know Sam was bawling.
OMG I hate Jo. I wanted to like her based just on principle, because I hate it when fans hate a character just because they are the new love interest, like people hated on Riley from "Buffy" just because he was Angel's replacement. I liked Riley until he got whiny in season 5. But Jo is, so far, a 14-year-old female fanfic writer's dream.
Reasons I hate Jo:
1. She's a Faith from "Buffy" clone. Even dresses like her. I hate Faith. I didn't mind her so much for a while; she was okay. But she started doing evil things, and then she tried to murder Xander, and Buffy just kept making excuse after excuse for her. Buffy didn't get with the program until Faith tried to poison Angel. THEN she hated Faith. That's what made me hate Faith too, the fact that Buffy wanted to give her all kinds of slack until she went after stupid fucking Angel, who has done things that were just as bad, if not worse, than Faith. I'm not sweet on Xander or anything, but he was a faithful friend to Buffy, and he deserved more outrage from her when Faith tried to kill him. Buffy didn't even seem to care. STILL makes me mad. So, BAAAAD Jo for reminding me of Faith.
2. She's a "tough girl" so generic she should have the label tattooed on her forehead. No personality. Yeah I know we saw very little of her. Still not impressed.
3. She's all "I'm not interested in you Dean, I'm just gonna punch you in the face." That was supposed to be funny. It just fell flat for me. Maybe because I knew it was coming, I don't know. (Read spoilers.) Maybe my hormones are out of whack, but HOW could ANY woman not be struck blind by Dean's stunning looks?!?! OMG, woman, are you frigid?! Don't make comments about lame pick-up lines, he wants to FUCK YOU! JUMP HIM!!! The fact that Jo rebuffed DEAN, O.M.G. The least she could do is acknowledge that he's HOT, but NO, she's Tough Girl Jo, and she doesn't fall for any man. Except that hunter in her blog she talked about fucking. You're a hunter groupie, bitch. Don't act like you're anything more. Jeeeez, that was some bad Mary Sue territory she tread into there. They chose a really bad way to introduce this character.
4. At this point, we have found another actress that Jensen has no chemistry with. Ack. Bring in Dominique Swain! The computer chair sex scene from Devour had some chemistry, and he came in like 45 seconds.
I LOVE MILES. I mean Ash. Why did so many characters get a name change in this one? Alex became Jo, Miles became Ash. Why did Ellen stay Ellen? I dub her Emily! Anyway, the "Lynard Skynard roadie" was fun. I hope we see more of him. "The front is all business, but the back's ready to party." XD Mulletman! But they lost the one really great line, when Mil... I mean Ash says to Dean, "I like you," and Dean dryly replies, "Swell." That was so great! They changed it. :(
I still don't like the "roadhouse for hunters" storyline. I can't exactly put my finger on why; I just don't like it. It's kinda goofy.
The carny scene made me laugh out loud for a good few minutes. "This guy hates blind people." Then they go into the office and see that there's a clown chair, and Dean rushes into the good chair and makes Sam sit in the clown chair. AHHHHHHAHAHA I laughed so hard I snorted loudly. When you make me snort-laugh, you know you have AMUSED me. That is my highest compliment to comedy.
That being said, WHY didn't we get a carny joke about Sam's height? Everyone just ignores it. Just once I want a tall joke! Ignoring it is not realistic; I'm 5'1" and I get jokes all the time about being Shorty. This would have been a perfect opportunity for a "if you want to join up because you think you're the tall man, sorry, I've seen people way taller than you" joke. OH, maybe that's what that scene was all about, when the little person walked by Sam and just stared at him. XD
The last scene was just, OH! DEAN! First off, I love him putting all of his grief into fixing the Impala. Leave him alone, Sam. He'll deal when he's ready. But Sam has to push, push, push. I did feel for poor Sammy; I love how he's the emotional one who always openly cries over stuff. Jared P. pulls it off well so it doesn't emasculate him. I almost started bawling when he was talking to Dean and trying not to cry, but not because of that, but because of what he was saying. I miss my Daddy too. :( First Thanksgiving without him, and I want to make a turkey for somebody, and he's not here to eat it. I'm gonna make a turkey and somebody's going to fucking eat it. *eyes everyone* Anyway, the scene after that... AHHHH I LOVE YOU DEAN. The way Dean started beating the shit out of the Impala... Not sure I like the Impala being the target, but she can take it. She loves her Winchester boys.
So much pain Dean's holding in. VERY nicely done. Um, didn't anyone hear that? Someone want to at least come out to see what the noise is and stand there and go oh, Dean's dealing with it the best he can? THAT SCENE ROCKED.
And this episode helped me to conclude that Sam is my sister, and I am Dean. My sister went off to college and left me to take care of my dad, which I did, and me and my daddy got close (not Wincest close), and my sister acted like he didn't exist after a certain amount of years and just fought with me and him all the time. Then he died. And she bawled and bawled at every chance she got and I just thought yeah, you did love him, and now you regret all those lost years, don't you? So me and Dean, we got similar issues, and we deal with it in similar ways. Except Sammy's a lot more likable than my sister has become. :P
Take out Jo and you have a pretty damn good episode. Killer clown, that's some inspired shit. o/` Killer clowns... from outer space... o/`
