Rewatch S5: I Believe The Children Are Our Future (5x06)

Sep 24, 2010 12:33

I was going to be far more productive yesterday, but my brain broke and I ended up being too depressed to do much of anything. Thankfully, I started feeling better sometime in the evening and decided that doing another rewatch would probably help, not hurt, my predicament. And I was correct! Yay!

Who's looking forward to tonight, btw? *raises hand ( Read more... )

another cool re-cap!

as for us seeing a series of events, and then Dean or Sam explaining it? i think this was overcompensation for the parts of the fandom that didn't "get" some of Eric's other references and stuff. maybe? there was a lot of showing then telling this season.

as for tonight, i have to work until 10. so i'll watch it a little later. =)

Stupid people are always ruining my things! :P

I'm very impatient for tonight. I had planned to spend the afternoon doing more S5 rewatch, but I was actually assigned work at the last minute. Which, you know, is all well and good, since I could use the money :P

Still...why isn't it 9pm yet! It's even more torturous because since I'm going to a friend's place for dinner and Supernatural, I have to resist the urge to watch the East Coast TV feed. SO TEMPTING!

This is my least favorite episode of all seasons.

First off, the kid still believes in the tooth fairy AND knows masturbation gives you a hairy palm? Nuh-uh, pick one end or the other. So that made it hard to believe.

But the worst part was Dean using the joy buzzer on Sam. You saw it a whole lot differently than I did. To me, it was the single most un-Dean-like thing of the whole season, to risk Sam on a joke!

Authoressnebula wrote a fic that I have put in my personal canon that Dean tested on himself first without Sam seeing it.

I just cannot believe Dean would have risked killing Sam no matter how sure he was of his hunch!

But I do appreciate you pointing out there were a few worthwhile moments in it.

Just while I'm being a sucky employee anyway, I figured I'd respond to your comment ( ... )

Have to disagree with you there a bit. It's ham. The whole point of them is that they don't go bad all that fast.

I did not know this about ham!

Plus, as I remember a few people pointing out when this episode aired, none of what they had just assumed/were talking about is actually in the bible at all. It's like... christian fanon.

Haha, true true. Good point.

In their minds, they're associated, so there's no, "hey, you know, starting the apocalypse was something I did not expect to happen, so that was not something I can really beat myself up for. Completely unrelated to that, though, it was pretty awful of me to chose Ruby over you, and now I am remorseful. Sorry."

LOL Oh man, that would be the BEST EPISODE EVER.

On a serious note though, I see your point. The only thing greater than a Winchester's sense of a responsibility is a Winchester's sense of guilt.

I always wondered why Jesse was so powerful as a half demon/half human. They say he's the anti-crist, right? So I guess maybe demons just can't impregnante/get pregnant easily, so when they do it's a special once a hundred(s) year anti-crist baby...?

hells_half_acre September 25 2010, 06:00:23 UTC

I guess so! We'll have to assume so anyway, otherwise there really would be a legion of adorable anti-christs.

I so totally agree with you on John's lies! I hate all those times in the show where they're all "we have to protect civilians from the truth" and "Dad ruined us by introducing us to this life." That's not what we do with real dangers in this society! It's all stranger danger and mountain lion education and gun safety and women's self-defense to deal with real world hazards, and society hasn't collapsed any worse than it already was.
I'd bet that the whole revenge quest thing was mostly a cover for Dean, because the alternative would be to tell the boys that something was after Sam.

hells_half_acre October 3 2010, 01:19:44 UTC

Indeed. I think John was more motivated to kill YED to prevent him from coming for Sam, rather than kill him to avenge his wife...except, that he should have told them the truth so that they were better prepared ( ... )
