BACK ON THE RACK
WOOHOO RANGERS! I sincerely hope you guys get it this year.
Once again, this post is about SPN and not baseball.
SPN 6.05 spoilers. No spoilers for next week, funny enough. (And keep them out of the comments or I'll screen you. :P)
First off?
I HIGHLY APPRECIATE THEM OPENING WITH THIS SONG.
(Feel free to press play and read the rest of the review disgusting brain splooge. It's ATMOSPHERIC.)
"Emily Fang."
And this is Emily Fang. Man, it's almost like I'm back in a college town.
Dudes, I totally know what they were doing here with these two, and they did it SO WELL, but it sets off my embarrassment squick SO VERY MUCH.
AHAHAHAHAHA, flappy coat.
Actually, aside from the Twilight copyright infringements sparkly vampire paraphernalia, I kinda dig the decor. Well, the chandelier, anyway. Also, "Twilight: IT'S WORSE THAN DRUGS."
"He's watching her sleep. How is that not rapey?" Hey, Dean? ILU. Also, a certain someone has watched you sleep before. ("What were you dreaming about?")
This was a nice weird touch, actually: a bunch of cheesey ass lines so we get an idea of what was (possibly) going through Dean's head when he was with Lisa.
I love how intently Dean is watching these two. XD
DEAN DEMANDS TO KNOW IF COVERING YOURSELF IN GLITTER REALLY DOES HELP YOU GET LAID.
Vampire with absolutely FABULOUS hair (seriously, I want this dude's hair) thinks Dean is pretty. He does have taste, I'll give him that.
OBLIGATORY DEAN... WALL DUMPSTER SLAM.
And here's where fandom starts saying "WHAT THE FUCK, SAM."
WHAT THE FUCK, SAM.
WHAT THE FUCK, SAM.
DEAN. IS BLOODY. AND I AM PLEASED.
As a complete geek for both fun sound effects and Dean with fun powers? Kinda love this sequence. SHIT IS TOO LOUD, STUFF IS TOO BRIGHT.
Especially this part. Dean sensing Sam isn't freaking out as he should be, because he can hear Sam's heart.
As soon as Lisa says "Dean, you're scaring me," we can hear her heartbeat, gradually getting louder and louder through the rest of the scene.
I like the "explain to me what's going on out there," when the problem is actually IN YOUR BEDROOM, LISA. D:
OMG YAY \o/
This? THIS IS EVEN SCARIER THAN DEAN WANTING TO BITE LISA. (Not Ben himself, dudes. Although he does look kinda frightening here.)
OKAY.SHIT I LOVE HERE -.
1: THERE IS A DEFINITE FLAPPY SOUND RIGHT BEFORE DEAN SPEAKS. CLEARLY, HE'S PRETENDING TO BE CASTIEL. AGAIN.
2: VAMP!DEAN BEING FUCKING SNEAKY AND SILENT. ALMOST SILENT, ANYWAY, SINCE HE CAN'T RESIST TRYING HIS S.O.'S TRICKS OUT.
3: "TOLD YA HE'D KILL ME WHEN HE SHOWED UP."
4: VAMP!DEAN IS LOUNGING. IN THE CORNER. IN THE SHADOWS.
5: DEAN BEING CREEPY, EXHIBIT A.
5.5: DEAN BEING CREEPY, EXHIBIT B.
HOORAY FOR RETCONS AND CONVENIENT CURES. -_- [/SARCASM]
Eh. This shot is just here 'cuz I liked it. I also want to say that they're playing with the lighting a little bit (Dean's the only one in the light coming off of the street, which just makes him appear more pale and washed out than Samuel), but that might just be me with Vamp!Dean on the brain.
This is all about the cure, but the last line is "never recovered from the... (turning?)
AHAHAHA, DEAN JUST TOLD SAM THAT HE SMELLED.
Also fond of this moment: Dean STARING at the blood Samuel gives to him.
And here's where shit gets weird. Even SAMUEL is put off by Sam, which is kind of unexpected. I was counting on Samuel being the head honcho, or at least a higher-up, in whatever master evil plan is going on this season. (Which? By the way, really is totally about family.)
But Samuel looks like he might be a red herring. I'm starting to think that Sam brought Samuel and the other Campbells back. D: Dudes, writers, if this is seriously what's going on, WHY ARE YOU GOING DOWN THIS ROUTE?
Dean wants that blood.
He wants it SO BAD.
Who, me? With kinks? NEVER.
Hello, vampire with FABULOUS HAIR. (His name is apparently Boris.)
Man, the fabulous hair totally wants Dean.
Can I just say that I can't believe they're pulling the "PRETENDING TO BE GAY" trope in an actual episode? I'm not reading fanfic, right?
Um, I kinda like this guy.
I will always appreciate Dean on his back.
I also appreciate Dean going all Kill Bill on all the vampires.
Or maybe he's more Sling Blade?
Either way, I'm getting Homicidal!Dean (what would the vampire equivalent of 'homicide' be, anyway?), and I'm enjoying it.
IDGAF that all these caps are crappy. HOMICIDAL!DEAN WITH THE SUPERNATURAL VAMPIRE POWER TO... UH. JUMP.
JENSEN IS TOTALLY USING HIS "MY BLOODY VALENTINE" FACE HERE.
Was this really a Matrix shout-out? REALLY?
All Dean. ALL DEAN.
I dig this shot, too. Shortly after his homicidal rampage, Dean is perfectly still.
How come we never get to actually see Dean being completely batshit? :(
He's always batshit offscreen. :(
At least we got the aftermath this time.
(Also, DEAN CLAIMS THIS HEAD IN THE NAME OF THE IMPALA.)
GOD DAMN IT, SHOW, IS THAT IT? D:
I think my first issue with this episode is that I have been WISHING FOR VAMPIRE!DEAN FOREVER. I mean - see my Dean tag? I've had it for years. YEARS.
I think I let my hopes get too high, because it just left me wanting MORE. It even gave us Dean at his most batshit (aside from when he was in Hell, possibly), and we didn't get to see all of it. D:
And I'm using this icon because it didn't even hit my glowing eye kink. The vampires in the first season totally had glowing eyes. -_-
Second issue is, of course, SAM. I would be okay with where they're going with this if we just had more answers by now. When Dean came back from Hell, we got little snippets of what happened to both him AND Sam in the premiere, which set up a nice, steady reveal for both of them through the rest of the season. I know we're only on episode 5 of the season, but we at least had clues in ep 1 of season four. This season, we just keep getting more questions and it's getting irritating.
Other than that? Did I like it? I have no fucking idea.
I just want more Vamp!Dean.
