On The Working Title.

[rionaleonhart]

Okay, Supernatural. You know I love you, and considered episode-by-episode, rather than as a whole, Season Four is so far looking like one of the best series/seasons of anything I've ever watched. But three of the four most recent episodes have been silly episodes, and I am pretty desperate for some angst at the moment.

I am especially desperate for angst following the revelation that Dean remembers Hell. Dean has been suffering worse-than-imaginable torments for the equivalent of forty years, and yet three of the eight episodes since he rose have been light and silly? There's something not quite right there. (Has he been able to remember since 'Lazarus Rising'? I thought his Lilith-hallucination in 'Yellow Fever' might have represented the memories returning to him, but now it seems that perhaps he's had those memories all along. You'd think he'd be more messed up about it, surely.)

Incidentally (oh man there's a bad pun), I liked the music during that final scene. (The incidental music in Supernatural is often rather pretty. I sometimes want to rewatch 'Scarecrow' and 'Croatoan' purely for Christopher Lennertz's score.)

When the episode opened on a woman in the shower, I couldn't help rolling my eyes. For goodness' sake, Supernatural, you've already had two female-death-in-the-shower scenes! But then they didn't actually kill her, so I can sort of forgive them. (In fact, was that a rare 'everybody lives' episode? Er, well, Sam died, but he got better. So.)

Gigantic living teddy bear: possibly the weirdest thing Supernatural has ever come up with. I applaud you, writers. I back slowly away from you at the same time, but I applaud you.

AMAZING THINGS:

"Are we... should we... are we going to kill this teddy bear?"
"How? Huh? Shoot it? Burn it?
"I don't know. ...both?"

I laughed so hard.

Anyway, it was a fun episode (if one that felt at times as if it were trying a little too hard to be quotable), but I am so ready for an episode full of plot and pain and woe and Castiel and Ruby and Castiel/Ruby and tension in the Winchesters' relationship. (Seriously, where has Ruby gone?) Of course, knowing Supernatural, there's a more-than-fair chance that all the silly episodes are here to lull us into a false sense of security before the writers, I don't know, skin the Winchesters alive or something.

I



lol.

[rionaleonhart]

That was not nearly the daftest part of this episode.

Dean's face omg.

Ok, I have to see this episode. I don't care if I'm not a fan of Supernatural, I must see the whole episode. Please tell me you know where I can find it.(I might just be tempted to write fic for it...)

[rionaleonhart]

This should work. Tell me if you have any trouble finding the next part.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

Have seen, and enjoyed. (Giant Teddy Bear angst, omg, so creepy!) I may end up ficcing it for you, but it'll be a bit of a wait.

Also, have just seen your answers to my poll. All of them are Mewtwo? That's gotta make it wierd at family reunions. (reposted for more appropriate icon)

Secretly, there's only one Stig. You never see more than one on the screen together, do you?

And I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! (Suicidal teddy bears, Supernatural? Really?)

I am at the moment planning a fic that contains all seven known Stigs, the Roman and Scottish Stigs from my dream a while back, and any other Stigs I may come up with between now and whenever I actually get round to writing it. There may be Stigcest. I dunno. The way my brain works, you can never tell. (In my defense, I don't think that they're actually cousins. Or maybe they're like the Nameks and they're all related. Except Namekians don't snog each other. Except when certain people are writing.)
