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.

I like what you've written and thought out here, I get it. I...was not so rational. It's one hour of tv that I allow myself on Fri. because I look forward to it, and they wrote - that.

Many have been saying - c'mon it just tv. Okay, to that I say, remember that epi. of Buffy - the one where Spike attacked her out of "love", in her bathroom. This reminded me somewhat of that sort of creepy adoration, only Spike wasn't a metaphor for fandom and people were NOT happy. I'm seeing people blow this non-con off like it's no big deal, and that, I don't get. ::shakes head:: Maybe I'm finally, officially an old prude.

Also, you lay the issue of Sam being worked over by the writers far better than I. I do feel bad for Dean, that pout he had at the beginning and the end was sad. But yeah, again, what you said.

I know that I wasn't happy when that happened on Buffy but I know a lot of Spike lovers and Spuffy supporters who, uhm. While they didn't love it they weren't as upset about it as one would like them to be.

I wasn't a fan of Spike for a long while (even before that) and then when he was on Angel, I sort of liked him again. But. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that Buffy forgave him. I don't know why she would have but it's her life and her choice.

On Supernatural, they didn't even seem to acknowledge that what she did was WRONG not just slightly naughty. And that bothered me a lot.

/here's hoping some of that made sense.

It did make sense, and fwiw, I agree.
