Supernatural : 6x01 : Exile on Main Street

STAN! Hi, husband! Hi! I've missed you.

He's so wonderful and beautiful and he should be funny and snarky and creepy in every ep all the time.

Clearly, he was my favourite part.

Jared's delivery of, 'Yeah, I'm back.' was so so very amusing. It was a very casual, 'Hey, you got your haircut.' kind of delivery.

CORIN NEMEC I LOVE YOU. Forever and always.

Corin Nemec was on an episode of CSI:Miami with Nicki Aycox. (They played husband and wife.) And since she was on Supernatural and played an evil character I'm saying that Corin's character on Supernatural is going to be evil. Yep.

Sam sounds different, I mean his way of talking does not his actual voice.

I kind of wish Lisa had burned on the ceiling for realz.

Oh! That uh, Gwen girl kind of looks like a young Sigourney Weaver.

I don't really get the whole Grandpa thing and him being back how convenient that there's more family that hunts and yadda yadda.

I've never been to hell, she said stating the obvious. So, I have no idea how I'd react if I were to go there and come back. But from what I've seen on my television? So far my favourite and what I think is the best reaction is Angel's. One, he was naked. And two and more importantly he wasn't all fine and dandy and/or pretending to be. He was all twitchy and couldn't really talk and other such things. Plus, he was put in chains for a bit there.

-in fact, I think it's going to be quite an obstacle to overcome and I think eventually it will be the Winchester Bros VS the Campbell clan.

!!! I hope this happens.

. I get that she wants a good role model for her kid but on the flip side I would think she'd be so concerned with her kid getting attached that she wouldn't allow someone in Dean's position (life-threatening situations, no stability, shaky past) in her home.

Hadn't even thought about that. I'm still not sure why we should care about her at all, like why Dean likes her ... and likes her enough to play house. I mean all we really got was a mention of good sex and well, I don't know that that's really enough.

I really like your thinky thoughts on the ep.

To me it seems so obvious that the Campbells are slated to be antagonists that I will be surprised if it doesn't happen. I think that's why Sam felt so "off" the entire ep--because he's been under their influence and not Dean's. And I think it was heavily implied that they do stuff to the supernatural beings. They keep them to experiment or something? Didn't Samuel and a cousin take one of the Djinns? And remember how Dean saw the back of that van and how it had a cage and shackles?

Plus, I think Sera--though she'll fuck with us a bit--knows her fangirls and knows that the relationship between Sam&Dean is the heart of the show. She won't create any permanent wedges between them.

As for Lisa, I do like her. Or rather, the role she represents and how she's written now. I liked her as a stand-alone-never-to-be-revisted-again character in "The Kids Are Alright" but the beginning of that ep is so rocky to me. It's creepy that Dean wants to look her up again, and I completely didn't buy it. She was better in that ep because she was more guarded from him and really only let her guard down in that last scene where she invites him to stay (for the record, I do think Ben is Dean's kid and she was testing him to see if he'd stay on his own accord).

I think the main reason why this relationship is playing out so weird is because she was never supposed to be anything more than a stand-alone character. When they brought her back in "Dream A Little Dream of Me" it was still a little "what, her?" but then I thought that, really, Lisa was just a place-holder that now had a name. Kinda like that beer ad woman in "What Is and What Never Should Be?" It's not any particular person, but just someone who can fulfill that role. And Lisa is the most obvious choice. It just seems so forced because it is--the writers had to inject her into a few episodes before the end of season five because they realized too late how to utilize her fully. So I'm trying to be more forgiving and give it a few eps to prove itself. I like Lisa right now, but that could change if they don't tread carefully (this includes making her too perfect).
