3.05 - Part 2
Finally saw what I was missing from the ep so there is my belated second part of the review.
Also, that open Season-crack they made in the "Magnificent Seven"? Well, on TwoP it`s true right now. Prey of choice answers to the name of "Dean".
Seriously, all the dumb lines in the world would not justify that intense backlash to me. Let alone the heretofore unseen people popping up to express how their disgust for the character has once again been thouroughly validated. I see, the second a fictional character is losing popularity, it`s jump-on-thebandwaggon time because apparently it was impossible to speak out against a fictional character before. Whatever.
- I think it`s a bit much to have Dean not recognizing the girl-apple in the fairytale themed atmosphere. He immediately knew the frog-thing. Are there really people who DON`T know the basic stories of the most common fairytales? Really? Have never met one in my life.
- Liked the Mischa Barton crack however.
- Dean as the huntsman was funny also
- Yeah, the theme was executed somewhat unsubtly - snowhite, little red - in places but I`ve gotten used to it from the show.
- I didn`t mind the last "let me go" that Dean implied to Sam there
Of course it`s fucking hypocritical since he did nothing of the sort with Sam but since when have people stopped trying their loved ones from repeating their mistakes? Former drunks preaching to their children against drinking would be hypcritical just the same yet most might do it. And most might get applauded for it.
He thinks Sam is emotionally stronger, he thinks Sam doesn`t need him as much and he wants to make it easier on Sam. Sure, he doesn`t but he didn`t say that to be a mean, spiteful asshole either.
Usually I hate hypocrisy with the passion of a thousand burning suns but that kind of utterly, normal, human hypocrisy? I`d be hypocritical even criticizing it.
- the last scene between Sam - Crossroads - hm, Sandy McCoy is cute as a button but I seriously didn`t like her portrayal
And judging by Jared`s acting, I guess, we`re supposed to take from it that she hit a nerve? That on some level that IS what Sam feels about Dean? I mean we had this theme before - with little blinks from Dean`s side too - but I found it a bit disappointing because that`s quite a harsh view. I don`t doubt for a second that he loves his brother but that isn`t necessarily the same as respecting someone. Hm.
The shooting itself, yeah, I was spoiled for it so I wasn`t shocked. But I still liked it.
And I love the idea that somehow there might be a place in the myth for Dean too. Lets face it, right now by nature of the storylines he is passive - he doesn`t know about the Mary-thing, he has an inkling about the DemonKing-thing but doesn`t play much of a role there yet and in the deal-thing he has to be passive. He needs agenda in the plot to move forward.
And on the subject of next week`s promo. Looks really cool and nothing at all what I had gathered from the sides. Hm.
