SPN 3.01 The Magnificent Seven
Magical iTunes Store shared this ep early and I was SO excited. I tried to download but iTunes wouldnt let me switch to the US store because I have credit still on the AU one – DAMNIT! But naughty friend got it and shared it with her friends so i scored the ep early and watched it Thursday night AU-time, so WELL before it aired in the US – SWEET!
Anyways I recall my thoughts on the ep only too well because Fandom Rocks had asked for fan contributions to make a podcast about the ep so I ended up recording myself as I watched it. LOLS!
(My comments about the ep which are a rambley version of what I am about to say here, plus an edited down minute and a half of my reactions to teh ep are in the podcast – SO EMBARRASSING!!!)
Anyways – the ep and my thoughts.
My favourite thing – even though I thought Dean was acting like a tool was all the comedic Dean moments. I was totally cracking it througout the ep.
I have seen the next ep now so I know more now, but my main responses to this ep were:
~ girly seems kinda like a Slayer a bit. heh (those blonde locks – oh so Buffy, but attitude – definately like Faith). But I was all ‘what the hell is she using? COOL! I want one of those!’
~ The Magnificent Seven? Pretty lacking in the magnificence department!
~ Dean is acting WAY too cavalier even with the whole ‘one year to live’ thing. And despite what he said at the end of the ep about being tired and theres now a light at the end of the tunnel (because yo – being tortured in hell is way more relaxing than spending your life hunting demons) i was thinking 1) he is worried about what the YED said about Sammy not being the good ol’ Sammy he knows and loves, 2) he does feel a bit guilty about the deal he made and the burden that has put on Sam (like he felt when John made the deal for Dean) – but also he has to live with Sam being pissed about this….and he KNOWs that aint gonna be fun. heh
~ PRIDE!!! Dude – what Pride said to Sam. i was all WHAT THE HELL??? The few fan reviews I saw didnt even mention it but I was all OMGAWD!!! In the podcast I read out what he said and then was all with the questions 1) YEDs superpower kids and Sam is last one standing, but Pride implies that Sam is super important – WHY IS SAMMY SO IMPORTANT??? 2) who the hell was the YED that he could have made other Demons bow to Sam??? 3) and what the hell did he have in store for Sammy if the YED had survived?
Overall I didnt love the ep that much other than Dean-silliness. I am not sure what it was, but I wasnt feeling the SPN-love. It was an okay ep, but I was worried because I was hoping for a killer ep that would suck some newbies into the show and I dont know if that ep would have done it.
Fast forward to today:
SPN 3.02 The Kids Are Alright
My thoughts arent quite so clear as I only just watched it, BUT OMGAWD! FRICKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole Changelings thing was your standard cool creepy-creature thing. Pretty groovy. (I actually have a non-horrorish story idea about Changelings that has been festering in my head for like 10 or more years so i was all ‘ooh – cool’). The most eww moment for me though, was when the dude fell on the saw at the beginning. But I have said it before – takes a lot in the horror stakes to get me. 😀
But OMGAWD 1) the awesome of Dean and that kid. Seriously – i love Jensens acting skills. The freak out at the kids party when he thinks the kid might be his, the bonding with the kid, the end bit where FINALLY some real Dean moments where he is talking to Gumby-girl about recent events and you can see he is thinking about the life that could have been and feeling regretful that he will never have it. OMGAWD you nailed it so good Jensen – I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!1 haha
AND THEN – NEW GIRL REVELATIONS! OMGAWD OMGAWD!!!!
And thank you writers for going straight for my questions about Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now THAT was what was needed to suck in newbies totally!!! Season arc set up RIGHT THERE!!! Sam has a way to save Dean – but he has to work with the not-so-good guy! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, i have to calm down and try and record these thoughts for the next Fandom Rocks podcast – but dude right now I am WAY too excited!! I cant wait for more!! DAMNIT!
