sailorhathor"Bad Day at Black Rock"
I'm sure the title has some sort of significance, but someone's going to have to explain it to me. Except the fact that people had a very bad day in this episode. :D
SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE AHEAD!
Another great episode. Very, very funny. Let me hit on the finer points that I can remember.
GORDON! Yaaaaay! Nothing else, just yaaay. He can't be right about Sam not being human; one of the ancient demons from 3.01 said Sam was just a mere human or something like that. It seems like he would know what he was talking about. I still wish Gordon could become one of the Winchesters allies, but I just don't see how that could ever happen.
The storage locker that John set up was cool. They're going to have to move that stuff now, though. It's obviously not safe there anymore.
The whole thing with the lucky rabbit's foot was very funny. Sam's run of bad luck made me laugh pretty hard. "I lost my shoe." Poor Sam was so pitiful. XD His reaction was hilarious when stuff started happening when he didn't even move from his seat. All the bumbling and knocking himself out. Hee!
I have to utter a DAMNIT! in reaction to this ep, though. I've had a fic in my head for over a year now dealing with some characters I introduced in A Distant Voice in the Darkness, Eric and Savannah Coleman. Eric is like a human rabbit's foot in that his presence brings good luck to some, but not like a rabbit's foot in that he brings bad luck to others. I had planned for him to bring much comical bad luck to Sam. I still want to write it someday, but I'll just have to explain the similarities. Not sure if it will be as much fun to write with this episode having been done, but then again, I have some interesting ideas for it.
Steak fork through the mouth! BOOSH! They're really upping the gore factor this season. Only three episodes in and already we've had a gory bandsaw through the gut and a steak fork through the mouth. Muhahahaha.
Good! They finally said Ruby's name! Why they were so secretive about it only to have Sam mention it in passing, I have no idea.
Now to Bela. FUCKING BITCH AHHHHH DIE DIE DIE!! When I say that, I do not mean I want her off the show. But I want to see her get hers and in a big way very soon. I LOVE the idea of someone who uses the supernatural world to make money. It's about time. I'm tired of people who become hunters as revenge for someone they loved being murdered by a supernatural creature. You know that if this stuff was real, there would be people who would join in to make money or for thrill seeking or some other reason other than revenge. So it's nice to see different motivations. (Not that I'm above using the revenge thing myself in my own fics. ^_^;; But I just want to see something different on the show.)
Did anyone else feel like we had actually stepped outside of the world of SPN during the scene inside Bela's opulent apartment? I can't really explain the feeling; just once that scene started, I felt like I had changed the channel and was watching "Dallas." ^_^?? Was that a Siamese cat she had? Because I've seen prettier Siamese cats than that. That was an Anorexic Siamese cat.
Anyway, she's a good villain because she's a horrid bitch. I know people are going to start writing Dean/Bela fics but I have no idea how since she SHOT SAM! They better be AU. Dean's reaction to that actually wasn't strong enough for me. She just SHOT SAM, and he has this friendly tone to his voice during part of the reaction scene. I am not in support of men beating up women, but after that, I wanted Dean to chase her down and BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER. (I know Dean would never do that because she's a woman, but that was my gut reaction.) Bela was just so awful to them. And she kept saying in reference to the rabbit's foot, "That's mine." Um, NO, bitch, that belongs to John Winchester. You had it STOLEN from his storage locker. Just once I wanted Dean or Sam to say that. Did anyone else think their reaction to Bela was a little off? Like, they should have been more angry. Dean was practically screaming over Ruby at the beginning of the episode, and Bela shoots his brother and his reaction is played off as comical and almost friendly? I didn't really like how they wrote some of that.
Whatsmore, I thought Bela stealing Dean's lottery tickets went too far. I didn't want that bitch to come off the winner. Although it was funny when Dean screamed, "SONOFABITCH!"
Bela's British accent was extremely familiar, and I just now figured out where I've heard it. The female Watcher from the Buffy episode "Revelations" sounded just like that.
If Bela doesn't get what's coming to her, even a little of it, very soon, I will be very upset. I expect at least a "Little House on the Prairie"-style ass whoopin'* by the middle of the season.
*If you've never watched LHOTP, let me explain to you what a LHOTP-style ass whoopin' is. It's when someone acts like a complete asshole and then gets their ass kicked by the end of the episode. Usually by Charles Ingalls. And their ass gets kicked one good. I mean, you've seen such jerkoff behavior by this time that you want blood, and then WHOOPASS, the jerk gets punched and is left cowering on the ground in pain. Or Laura Ingalls throws their snotty ass in a mud puddle and shoves their face into the mud, making them literally eat dirt. And it always happens at JUST the right time, so you're literally cheering out loud to see it. It's so satisfying.
Bela needs some of this treatment. Let's see Dean throw her in a mud puddle and make her eat dirt while she's wearing some expensive frock she bought with her millions. Or Ruby could punch her and then jump on top of her and kick the shit out of her, yeah! Villains like Bela are supposed to get what's coming to them sometimes, and be left filthy and beaten down in the most humiliating way. It feels so good, doesn't it? Let's have some of that very soon. *rubs hands together in anticipation*
(Yes, I am a huge, HUGE fan of "Little House on the Prairie," you may be surprised to know. You try watching Nellie Oleson act like a demonic hell beast and then see her face down in mud and cow shit and tell me if it doesn't make your heart SOAR. The actress who played Nellie, Alison Arngrim, is one of my heroes. Anyone brave enough to play a role like that is AWESOME. I only wish I had remembered to nominate the fandom for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide.)
I hope they won't just gloss over the fact that Bela SHOT SAM and act like it didn't even happen by the next ep. I hate it when tv shows do that. It was bad enough that Sam was shot and acted like it was just a mosquito bite or something. 9_9 A shot to the shoulder is debilitating too!
Anyway, on to other subjects. I got myyuletide assignment and I loved it, and then it was yanked away from me because the matching system screwed up. >:( I hope my real assignment will be just as enjoyable. Give it to me now so I know what I'm in for! *bounces around in anticipation* I want to know who is going to get me! *bounces around some more* The fact that I had my assignment already meant I didn't have to wait any longer to find out. >:( I do not wait for surprises well. When my sister and I were kids, we used to tell each other what we were getting for Christmas. We'd even carefully pull the tape off and unwrap our presents to see what we were getting because we couldn't wait. So you can see what kind of inpatience you're dealing with. *bounce bounce bounce* Gimmeeeeee!
I was shocked first that someone actually offered to write "Land of the Lost," and then that someone else actually made a REQUEST for it! I want to know who this person is! Hello fellow Lostie! When I get my real assignment, who knows, I may get that request. I'm not going to say what request I got before in case I get it a second time.
