small_henSo…Supernatural.
It’s not that I was unhappy with it. It’s that it wasn’t what I was expecting. At all. At ALL. Okay. Fine. I was a little unhappy with it.
I know that Supernatural is a dark show. I know that it’s usually a horrible pit of despair. But I still love it, because in that pit of despair are two guys who always grin into the face of evil and stand by each other, no matter what. But that’s changing. Sam and Dean are lying to one another. Sam is choosing the side of demons, while Dean is being recruited by angles with cheesy wing effects. And I have a sinking feeling that this season will end with the two of them more apart than ever, and I’m not sure I can deal with that.
I need to let this one sit for a while. In the episode's defense, it was very slashy. But in a way where I sense Sam and Dean’s relationship might be falling to pieces, which breaks my heart.
Honestly? It felt joyless.
The good: Sam/Dean Hugs, Dean/Bobby hugs, Dean shirtlessness, Sam/Dean handholding, the iPod in the Impala, implied brother threesome suggestion, Sam and Dean staying in a hotel room with mirrors on the ceiling, Sam pulling an Obi-Wan on a demon.
The bad: The overall tone, the OMG this is depressing tone! Sam going evil. Cheesy angel wings. That weird line about perky nipples.
Any thoughts?
Oh, and I saw this in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
csi_sanders1129 journal, and I had to post it.
Jensen: Wait, I thought we agreed when we got married that you were gonna be the chick ! Why do I gotta take your name?
Jarred: Because I'm taller.
Jensen: ... O.o Well, crap.

Date: 2008-09-19 12:32 pm (UTC)I also thought it was interesting that Sam mentioned that he tried several times to make a deal with crossroad demons, and the line just kinda went by the wayside. I expected Dean to flip at him when he said that, but he just let it go. Because he understood.
The boys' love will destroy them.
