Supernatural: 7x03: The Girl Next Door

[certainthings]

Things That Were the Worst:
Dean scratching his cast. That sound! It's the sound that makes me cringe and twitch and punch babies in the face. It's been a couple hours and I'm still twitching. (seriously)
Eugh.

Things That Were Pretty Terrific:
Colin Ford!!! His Sam Winchester is pretty fucking top notch, eh?

Things That Were Meh:
The rest of the bloody episode, man.


This episode felt like it was fanfiction written by a Dean!girl. One of those, "Wincest if you see it." sorts.

I'm wondering if one of the points of this episode was to show us that Poor Lil Sammy's always had a soft spot for demons?

I wasn't surprised when Dean killed Amy Pond but it still upset me. And then the more I thought about, the angrier and angrier I got. Am possibly still getting.

I've seen a few posts mentioning how Dean doesn't trust Sam, and how he went behind his back and such. Which, I hadn't really thought of and well, it just adds very nicely to my raaaaaaaaaaaage.

I'm just so very tired of this stupid BLACK and WHITE world that Dean lives in.

"Maybe a year from now, maybe ten years from now. The other shoe will drop." (paraphrased)

OHMYGOD. Who the fuck cares what happens ten years from now?! Dean, you don't know what's going to happen in TEN YEARS. You don't know if she'll still be alive in ten years.

And to basically kill her in front of her kid? What is wrong with you?! Even just killing her when he knows that she has a young kid, who probably doesn't have anywhere to go.

Oh, man. All these years and Dean still believes Humans = Good / Demons = Bad.

I don't know why it still bothers me, I should be used to it. But alas, I am not and it does.

So in conclusion, Sam should punch Dean in the face and I hope that kid does come after Dean.


ps. Apparently there were references in this episode? I know about the Dr. Who one because I googled Amy Pond after eilan asked why it sounded familiar. It didn't sound familiar to me. But I read in a comment there was a Firefly one and I don't know where it was / what it was.

Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly) played Amy Pond.

Hahaha. I knew that much, I have watched Firefly just not enough to get references. Most references. :)

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Okay, just trying to be helpful :) Although it's getting kind of incestuous with all the genre actors popping up on other genre shows (um, Summer Glau...)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I know. And I appreciate it.

Where's Summer been recently? I feel I've just seen her but I can't think of where.

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

The last thing I remember her in was The Cape on NBC earlier this year.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that but she was on something just recently.

Turns out it was Alphas! Fuck, I love that show.

I really hope that kid comes after Dean too, because shit, like, for reals Dean? After everything you've been through, you're still going through this?

RAAAAAAAGE.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Sam should punch him in the face to knock him down and then the kid can his shots.

[crystalchain.livejournal.com]

All I'm feeling after the last 3 minutes is rageeeee. I really hope that kid comes after Dean and kicks him in his fucking ass.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

So. So much rage. Seriously. I just really dislike how close minded Dean is.

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Oh god I am still full of rage, though it's settled some. I've never hated Dean for ANYTHING before and I just need it to go away. I'm trying to remind myself that it's not Dean's fault he has shitty writers sometimes.

Other references besides Amy Pond included My BloodIEST Valentine when Dean was snoozing in front of the TV, and the cashier dude was wearing a Under the Red Hood shirt.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

They should go back to that metatastic episode so that Jensen!Dean can punch the writers in the face.

Okay, I got those. Well, I missed the t-shirt but I saw you mention it on twitter (pretty sure it was you).

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Ugh, seriously. Though that episode can go away too. I was pretty much blaming Jensen for tonight's crap too until I realized he did the best with what he had to work with. SIGH.

Probably, I didn't notice till someone else mentioned it and then I retweeted. :)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That could be fun.

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Fucking writers, man. They can't let Dean grow the hell up, can they?

"Maybe a year from now, maybe ten years from now. The other shoe will drop."

And this line just annoyed me to no end. Dean, you're not Sam's momma. Also, you probably won't be alive in ten years. WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It's really aggravating that they won't. I mean, he can still be immature and silly at times but have an open mind about certain issues.

WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER?

Exactly. It's so damn ridiculous.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

THIS EPISODE ... IT WAS ... I ... WHAT ... WHAT THE SHIT WAS THAT?

(posted my review, too.)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Just had a thought. Maybe the writers thought that if they didn't kill her off, fandom would write them an obscene amount of letters demanding that her and Sam hook up. And they didn't want that so they went with the cheap, the fuck was that ending.
