Dean is velvety smooth Did you know that cwtv.com posts new SPN episodes within hours of airtime? I was all ready to angst over missing the new eppy tonight, then there it was. So much love for the CW right now. I might even forgive their woeful promotional efforts of the show. Eh, we'll see May 17th.
This episode was ten kinds of awesome, and I'm tempted to draw little hearts all around John Shiban's name. Everything about it was just fabulous, and there was never a moment where I felt bored or disconnected with the plot. I liked it even better than "Nightshifter," which is A LOT coming from me. dot_warner had to listen to my running commentary as I watched, so we must pity her poor sanity. She's already got lawschool finals this week--she didn't need my big bag of crazy added to her own. :)
Random thoughts (in chronological order!):
-Sam is 6'5", and Dean is 6'3"? *COUGH* Poor Jensen. Apparently 6'1" isn't good enough in Padalecki World.
-Hee, Blue Steel. His is less dorky than Jared's.
-OMG, the first person coming out of the prison bus looks Native. *bows head in shame* He looks like a friend of mine, even.
-The Texas line was a cute little diss. But guys? I thought the meta episode was last week. :)
-Sam's hair looks fantastic! If this keeps up, I swear I'll never complain again. Um, until next season, that is. I can make no promises if the hair stylist suddenly decides to go all "Flock of Seagulls" on us.
...I have no idea where that thought came from.
-Dean's cigarette pile is friggin' adorable--much like Dean himself.
-Gratuitous violence ftw!
-Sam is sneaky! ...like a ninja (though pirates are still way better.)
-"You heard in the yard?" "Yeah." "Dean, does it bother you at all how easily you seem to fit in here?" "No, not really."
-Oh god, Sam saying, "Don't give me that look!" was like the cutest thing EVER, and I have no idea why.
-The guard called Sam "sweetheart." Sina shifts uncomfortably.
-Dean is velvety smooth :D
-Dude. Random guys get to hug the boys, and they still can't hug each other? In the immortal words of Chris Farley, "Brothers gotta hug!"
In the end, I still didn't understand the ghost's motivation all that much, but will pay closer attention on rewatch. I haven't flist-drifted yet, but everyone on my own gave it a positive review so far, which is a lovely sign. I really hope we got good ratings tonight, because that was a damn near perfect episode. If I had to pick an episode with which to say "This is Supernatural," it'd be this one (minus that whole Yellow Eyed Demon thing, but Sam fangirls would rather ignore that anyway.)
On a final note, I'm glad the whole "smoking" issue with Dean was finally laid to rest. We've never seen him smoke, but a line from "Born Under a Bad Sign" raised the question, and now we have the answer. Everyone knows only evil versions of people smoke (or have goatees.) If you're guilty of either, you are the doppelganger. Besides, smoking would stain those perfect pearly whites.
Urm, my sister is scaring/amusing me with comparisons of Tony Lucca and Jensen Ackles. Strangely enough, her logic is actually making sense, which means it can't really be logical at all for NO ONE BUT THE PADALECKI IS AS HOT AS THE ACKLES. And that would be my cue to sleep. :-)
