Supernatural : 6x06 : You Can't Handle The Truth

So, some spoilers for this ep but mostly I think I want to talk about the promo for next week's ep.


I liked it.

I did not like Bobby saying that Dean was his favourite. I want him to like them both equally.

I like that Lisa is done with Dean. I hope her and Ben stay gone. They don't really have a place on the show.

I do not understand why Jared's acting is so not ... well, good. I mean, he looks like he's lying, he looks insincere. Which, I get that he WAS and IS. Only, he's supposed to look, sound ... seem like Sam. And he just wasn't at all. And why didn't anyone (on the show, obviously) pick up on this shit? Why did Jared choose to go that route and not just do his normal Sam act and maybe change something *slightly*.

Ugh.

If Dean had punched Sam once, perhaps twice, I might have understood that. But punching the shit outta him? I didn't like it. Made my insides all ouchy.

* * *

And now. Spoilers based on the promo.

So, Sam doesn't have his soul. I don't think that explains why Sam has no emotions or feelings. Bobby didn't have his soul for awhile and he was still Bobby. Why is Sam different? Is he more prone to evil because of who he is or is his soul trapped in hell and being influenced down there? Does a soul really make that much of a difference on what your character is like? Or is having no soul just a real good excuse to be a right bastard?

Maybe. I dunno.

I would understand one or two punches but just going at him like that? I didn't like it at all.

I'm still trying to figure it out too. Maybe I'm in denial that Jared isn't as good an actor as I want him to be. People were perceiving his performance thus far as just Jared being tired of the show and phoning it in as opposed to ~something's off but I can't put my finger on it~ I guess it's a fine line to walk.

I didn't like it either. Nearly drove me to drink (erm. Not really, but it's fun to say OMG I NEED A DRINK!). It bothers me that Dean is, pardon the term, abusive. I mean, when he's really fired up, he just PUNCHES him! Ugh. I don't like that it (the episode) ended there.

It is hard to find a place to put one's finger because I honestly don't believe that Jared's a BAD actor, I mean I don't think him (or Jensen) are GOOD but yeah. But this ... 'acting' that he's doing now is, obvious acting.
