Ep 6:09 Clap Your Hands... ( a squeeing review )
Ok, so this is just random thoughts I had while watching this episode.
Teenagers making out. Always a sign of bad things to come.
The title card almost broke my ability to squee when my love of X-Files and my love of SPN collided mid-air without warning. It was like Kim Manners was back and maybe, just maybe, the truth really is out there.
The truth is in here? Does that mean more than face value?
Sam gives me the creeps. Jared is doing such a great job of being...empty. The funny thing, Sam may be the better hunter now, but he really isn't. He's a better killer. Hunters are protecters. Dean said it in Wendigo. Hunt things. Save people. Dean would be someone to whom I could turn my back, not Sam. Dean is still a better hunter. Sam is just better at killing things.
I miss Sam. Miss him, miss him, miss him.
They played the Close Encounters theme!! They played David Bowie!! Smoke on the Water is Dean's cell tone!! I am way too happy about that. Did they increase the budget or something?
Wow, Sam having sex just cements the fact that in situations of horror or sci-fi-ness...sex is usually a sign of badness or wrongness. I love that he has chest hair. I know that is weird to care about, but I don't think he was rocking the chest hair last season. Yummers.
Dean microwaved a fairy,or faery, or what have you. He zapped it in the microwave. I love Ben Edlund. Love him in such an inappropriate way.
The hotel's rocking corn room divider did not keep me from being delighted by the tree wallpaper that is straight out of Dream a Little Dream.
I took way too much comfort that when Sam and Dean get in the impala, they still close their doors at the same time. I am not ashamed to admit that I take what I can get right now.
Dean's choreographed (is that spelled right?) walk with the fairy make me sort of gleeful. Jensen Ackles is so fucking delightful. Plus, he made the line 'fight the fairies' seem both macho and plausible. That is talent. Great editing with the fight scenes.
Sam's ability to reference Disney movies and characters while being unable to care about his brother's abduction made my mind bend a little.
I know this is me whining, but I don't want Sam to try to back out of getting his soul back or be misleading Dean for some sort of sketchy purpose. I know that eventually it will happen. It's inevitable. Sam will be ensouled again. I don't need spoilers to know that. I just don't want to see Dean have to jump through more hoops. I don't want Sam to be playing Dean even worse than I thought he was (and maybe still is).
The thing I don't get, why is it so important to Sam to be with Dean, since his actions speak of complete indifference? What else is going on there? He said last episode that he was being honest with Dean because he knew that Dean was close to bailing on him, and Sam didn't want that. Sigh.
I know that sounds petty, and I am not complaining about the plotline. I guess I just hope that Sam doesn't have any more earth shattering revelations or plot twists up his sleeves. Of course, SPN will make it enthralling if they do go that direction, but I want his soul back and then a slew of episodes dealing with the fallout and a lot of Crowley. I just love M.S. so much. SPN knows how to cast.
Plus, I just miss Sam and I miss Dean when he has his Sammy. I just miss them.
