Supernatural : 6x11 : Appointment in Samarra

[certainthings]

Spoilers for the ep.

All right. Guess we should get the good things out of the way. The things that I actually liked about this ep. And those things would be. a)Death! Or well, the actor playing him. Love him so much. He should be a series regular. And b)Bobby's delivery and facial expression when he said, "Don't say, 'Here's Johnny.' Also c)Tessa's kind of all right.

And uh, now if you don't like negative things, I guess you should stop reading ... I kid. Most people have stopped reading my reviews because they're mostly negative.

This episode was fucking balls! Jesus!

I think bullet points are the way to go now. So, buckle up.

01. I really wish the fucking make up department would find some foundation that isn't orange. And then learn about blending. Ugh.

02. I don't like it when Dean and Sam (or I guess Jensen and Jared) attempt facial expressions. It really annoys my eyes. Yes, okay. Sometimes they do a decent job but a lot of the time ... not so much.

03. I refuse to believe that Sam would attempt to kill Bobby. I can only suspend my belief so much.

04. I don't understand why the writers are trying to get people to hate Sam even more.

05. I'm glad that he's got his soul back (I hope it sticks) ... not because I don't enjoy soulless Sam but because I do not enjoy all the "I hate Sam, he's such an asshole. Boo." "Dean's the greatest character ever invented. This show would be top notch if it were just him." type posts. I try to avoid them but sometimes I stumble.

06. Seriously, someone send the set some blendy sponge things.

... it was a short ride

03. I refuse to believe that Sam would attempt to kill Bobby.

Not that I don't agree with a majority of the post, but ... that wasn't Sam Sam. It was absent of emotion, only working on logic Sam. The thing that broke my suspension of disbelief was the idea that Sam's father didn't even have to be BLOOD RELATED to him for it to work. I mean, really. Esp. after Bobby said Sam didn't even feel that much like a son to him, not like Dean did.

:D your big complaint is too orange? I think I can handle the hail storm of negativity.

Without a soul, would Sam really have an issue with killing Bobby? He doesn't have emotions per se, so why not? It was the logical, self serving thing to do.

I was expecting Sam to do the Here's Johnny! thing, so Bobby calling him on it was GREAT!

I like that I have such low expectations for my shows. It means I'm almost always happy!

It doesn't matter. They could write Dean as a misogynistic pig with no respect for anyone other than himself...wait.

...that was seasons 1-3. My bad.

They could really turn him into a rapist, and this fandom would find an excuse for it and still love him. They could turn Sam into a literal unicorn who saves leukemia patients with his horn, and this fandom would find a way to turn it into something bad.

That Sam? Totally would have killed Bobby. And I am SO PISSED that it didn't happen. I honest to god was positive that was the way the episode was gonna go. I thought he'd kill him and Dean would have to reap his soul (although that's not how it happened, with the reaping thing), but that didn't happen. Instead, Dean fucked up AGAIN, and they locked Sam up AGAIN, and...ugh. Lots of blech. INCLUDING CALLING LUCIFER "LUCY". AND MENTIONING ADAM FOR .5 SECONDS. That was for fandom. Please. Whatever.

However, I LOVE Balthazar. Love him to fucking pieces. So that thrilled me to my toes. Need more of him, but I think he's going back to my other show, so I don't care much.

Are they orange? I've got the saturation on my tv turned down to almost nothing, lol, so IDK. But I thought Jared looked gorgeous tonight, and Jensen's mouth was pretty, so I don't care much about that, either.

Lol @ their faces - I was thinking about that, at the end, when Sam was all O.O DON'T DO IT and his eyes were huge, except I was thinking how happy I was that Jared was actually downplaying the expressions. Oopsie?

Heh. Balls. Now that I don't watch the show I am really enjoying everyone's recaps/opinions of it.

DEAN IS THE BEST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? /sarcasm

[goingtoqueens.livejournal.com]

MY GOD, WOMAN. MAYBE JARED PADALECKI IS JUST ORANGE NOW. HE LIKES BEING THAT COLOR. HE ALSO DOESN'T LIKE BLENDING. HE SAYS IT'S BAD FOR ORANGE PEOPLE. I cannot believe you brought that up. I'm only just watching the episode, so that is all I will comment on for you.

I totally agree on the makeup - wow they SUCK! I can do a better job :) I should have their job :D You, too :D

Also I'm sick of the whole HATE posts on Sam - it's always Hate posts on Sam because the writers are annoying and stupid like that. No matter how much Dean has been a dick... people still HATE Sam. Poor Sam. Also - I don't believe that Sam would try to kill Bobby either... COME ON WRITERS it's BOBBY!!! He's like a father to them.

I don't really even watch anymore. I just mainline the episodes at about three or four at a time and go, "....... WTF." :/

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

The actor playing Death is AWESOME. He should deffs be a series regular.

03. I refuse to believe that Sam would attempt to kill Bobby. I can only suspend my belief so much.

Yeah it's a bit unbelievable isn't it?

06. Seriously, someone send the set some blendy sponge things.

*nudges you*

They do look kind of orange. Maybe Paris Hilton left behind some foundation.

[heartsonwings.livejournal.com]

As if this fandom needs the writers to make them hate Sam more. I'm pretty sure the writers tried to get the love for him back in S5 but it failed so they gave up.

Dean's an asshole. But that's just my opinion ;)

Sam.......I liked no-soul Sam a lot but the way the writers kept dragging it out I'm glad he's got it back LOL. Of course though, that won't be good enough for fandom.

AHHH, FU FANDOM. SAM IS BETTER.

04. I don't understand why the writers are trying to get people to hate Sam even more.

Word!!! It's like:

*pulls out silver platter*

*here... have another reason to hate Sam more. Because... See? He is so stupid and evil and should have been killed off years ago*


GAAAAHHHH.
