Supernatural: 7x08: Season 7, Time For a Wedding!

Things That I Liked:
Uhm ...

Things That Were Pretty Okay:
Well ...

Things That I Didn't Care For:
How about ...

ALL OF IT. Oh, Sweet Moses. What the hell was this episode?

I like Emily Perkins. Okay, I really liked her in Ginger Snaps and something else that I can't think of but every time I see "Becky" I like her a little less and that makes me sad.

And how ... why did they decide that Becky represents the majority of fans? I know I'm a nutjob at times but I have zero desire to drug, kidnap and uh, at the very very least think about raping any well known person. Or any person. At all. Ever.

I also had no real opinion on Sera Gamble.

Then I read this. "The episode, which Gamble said “has elements of meta,” will be one of the season’s “lighter, funnier episodes,” but will “not attempt to tread in ‘French Mistake’ territory.”

How is any of that lighter and/or funnier? Why would she say that? She knows she's a girl right?

Ugh.

Then I was thinking, 'Well, at least the ending was sort of nice.'

And in some ways it's nice. In sort of sad very co-dependent way that Dean doesn't know anything outside of looking after Sam.

However.

After awhile of thinking of fictional conversations between Sam and Dean, I was reminded of an episode awhile back.

When Sam said, "Hey. I've got this demon blood problem. So. I'm going to leave."
And Dean replied, "Yeah. That's a great idea. I've got my bestest buddy Cas to hang with and clearly Bobby loves me more."
Then Sam was all, "Uh ... That wasn't quite what I expected."
Dean was just, "Oh, well. Tough titties for you, I guess. Hey, you want the Impala?"

And I just. I know that sometimes people hit rock bottom. And you just have to let them and then be there for them when they start climbing back up. Or send them on a magical quest.

I know that episode was awhile back. But I still don't like that Dean didn't try and fight Sam about that. Didn't try and tough love the shit outta Sam.

And now Sam's all. "Hey, we're okay now. We're grown ups. We can take care of ourselves now. Yay!" Dean's all, "BUT I CANNAE LOSE YOU, BABBY. YOU ARE ALL I KNOW."

Which on the one level, I really love and and enjoy. Like a lot. But on the other hand. I don't understand ... why now? I mean other than Dean's bestest bud is no more.

I think there might be some sort of sense that is buried amongst the babble. Maybe.

Ugh, this episode.

I had read the spoilers and I knew the bride was Becky and there was some love potion going on, but I really never expected them to take it THAT FAR. I honest-to-God thought Becky had "raped" him until she mentioned that they hadn't consummated. It still just skeeved me out on so many levels, BEFORE taking into account that she's supposed to represent the fandom. Just...NO.

Don't even get me started on Dean and his nonsense. Besides the insane pretty that is Jensen's face, I've been wanting to punch him all season.

I will say that, however convenient, I did love Crowley's little "you kill the Leviathans, we'll stay out of your way" speech. Really it's just because I love Crowley and so I get happy whenever I see his face, lol.

Overall, this was just not a cute or funny episode like they were going for. It was creepy, but not in the fun way I like the show to be. I did laugh when Jared kept trying to talk with that shirt or towel or whatever that was stuck in his mouth, though. ;)

I just don't understand why they thought it'd be hilarious to have a girl like that represent fandom.

I did enjoy Crowley.
