Supernatural: 3x07: Fresh Blood

[certainthings]

1. I really and I mean really hate the vampire lore on Supernatural.

2. When I saw Mercedes on Reaper, I wondered if I'd see her on Supernatural. I was going to ask but then I didn't really want to know, you know?

3. I took notes! But uh, I don't know that I'll be able to read them.

4. When Bella said, "Good behaviour" she reminded me a little of Eddie Izzard doing some bit - I just can't remember the bit. Least, I think it was Eddie Izzard she reminded me of.

5. Dean's "Listen to the sound of my voice and you tell me if I'm serious or not." made me all weak in the knees. It's been a long time or possibly forever since Dean's made me all swoony.

6. When I saw Gordon stretched out on the bed, I had forgotten that he'd just been beaten and thought that that's how he sleeps, trying to be all hardass and badcore. :p

7. But why wasn't Mercedes McNab's name in the opening credits? Ugh.

8. Bella made me "aww" a bit when she phoned Dean back and told him where Gordon was.

9. I'm glad that guy made Gordon a vampire, even if the vampires on the show are stupid. Which fits for Gordon so yay all 'round.

10. The conversation between Gordon and Funboy? Hahaha. I swear Funboy was going to say "It's okay, baby, I still love you." and then they were going to make out. No, really I thought that but I didn't WANT it.

11. But then Gordon stuck his hand inside Funboy and stared at the dripping blood and I laughed my fucking ass off. Oh, God. How was that so funny?

12. I love me some weepy!Sam. "Just cause." N'awww!

13. But bloody and hurt and kicking ass!Sam? Nnnnng. So much better. *has him gift wrapped*

14. Nice bit at the end there, but uh. I don't know if I believe that Sam knows dick about cars. You'd think that John would've taught him something.

15. Stuff.

16. "The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture."

you changed your LJ.

#6?

I'M FUCKING SNORTING OVER HERE, I LOVE YOU. You took away my sniffly crying over the boys.

11. Yes. Ever since I realized who Michael Massee was, I could not WAIT for him to get off Show.

15. And stuff.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

And that's why I'm here. *nods*


I didn't even realize it was him until you said something and I was going to reply but it was a no comment post and then he's there and he's shooting a gun and I wonder was he all "dude, you fucking check this, double check it and check it again." or if he's sort of made me peace with the accident. But ugh. I just. I know I shouldn't worry but wow, yeah. I does.

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

Seriously! (And yeah, I locked it cuz - ya know? It's like talking about River Phoenix. Just sad and pointless and depressing).

But WHY. WHY GIVE HIM GUNS? WHY TEMPT FATE?

Don't put my Jared anywhere NEAR that man. Jeez.

But him's dead, so yay! *shudders*

I feel bad for him, I do, it's gotta be hell to live with, but really - why tempt fate?!

I like your blue LJ.

This one is for proper adults, and makes me want to talk like one. I cannot squee in this land of non-frippery.

there was such a great dynamic throughout this entire episode. i am just.. i'm at a loss for words that can explain how much i loved it.

i can totally see Sam sitting on the ground with a book while John teaches Dean the ins-and-outs of Metallicar, but picking up little tidbits here and there. plus, i think he'd be reluctant to learn since it's Dean's "thing".

Gordon/Jesus freak - most uncomfortable OTP.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

plus, i think he'd be reluctant to learn since it's Dean's "thing".

But see with Sam's "I've been looking up to you since I was four." speech wouldn't you think that's a good reason for Sam to learn about cars? To be more like/just like his older brother?

By "you" I don't really mean you personally.

[punnky-kitty.livejournal.com]

Oh yea I know.
I think his recognition of the John/Dean dynamic would stop him. He'd probably ask Dean questions offhand trying to get into it, but back off because he felt awkward, ya know?. & I'm basing this on how it was with me and my bro. I looked up to him but booksmarts was my thing with my mom and he had his own deal and it felt awkward to move in on that.

& with how I see Sam, he'd be less inclined to get in there with them for feeling like he'd get in the way. I think of Sam as a clutzy teenager growing into his long limbs and feeling like the outcast.

:)

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

oh he learned. He's fucking Sam. But he just didn't want to do anything, and he wanted Dean to want to teach him.
Know what I mean?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*knows*

[quarterwhore.livejournal.com]

"Listen to the sound of my voice and you tell me if I'm serious or not."
Oh, I could listen to Dean's voice all day. And I'm very serious about that...

I thought that Jesus!guy and Gordon were going to make out too. It was... a little creepy, honestly.

WEEPY!SAM FTW. But I agree. KICKASS!SAM IS SUPERIOR. Dude, he's SO FUCKING BADASS.

And yeah... Sam probably would know how to fix a car. But I like to think that he was pretending not to know so that Dean would lean over and help him...

[memphis86.livejournal.com]

5. Swooons for Dean wis you.

10. HOMG THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOMESAUCE. AU fic where Funboy gets turned too so they can liiiive and loooove eternally?

14. I would have lol'ed but I am mute, so I made silent tee hee sounds. Seriously, I'm like the damn Trumpeter swan or something.

[aeroport_art.livejournal.com]

No, really I thought that but I didn't WANT it.
LOL my reaction exactly XD

I love me some weepy!Sam. "Just cause." N'awww!
Those shiny eyes were just... guh.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Jared's real good at the weepy choked voice.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

5. *swoons as well* Oh, Scary Dean, how I missed thee.

8. Yeah "awww, she's hoping he won't kill her if she does this." *eyeroll* How I loved seeing her squirm this episode.

9. I was ECSTATIC when the vamp caught Gordon because I KNEW he was gonna get turned. Ah, poetic justice, how I heart thee.

11. Because he literally tore his li'l groupie's heart out!

12 & 13. Mmmm, I loves me some Sammy in this ep, too.

14. Naw, I think that Sam never gave a shit enough to pay attention beyond changing a tire or something.

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

#5 That made me SHIVER homg. Dean's such a badass.

#12 *SOBS* His quivering CHIN! *flaps!*

#13 He ripped off Gordon's fucking HEAD! *flaps some more!*

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

10. The conversation between Gordon and Funboy? Hahaha. I swear Funboy was going to say "It's okay, baby, I still love you." and then they were going to make out. No, really I thought that but I didn't WANT it.

11. But then Gordon stuck his hand inside Funboy and stared at the dripping blood and I laughed my fucking ass off. Oh, God. How was that so funny?

This? Is why I love you (one of the reasons anyway). I had the exact same reaction.

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

5. Hell yeah. Protective!Dean hits so many buttons.

10. Basically, that's totally what happened. Only, you know, in a manlier way.

11. dude.

14. I can really see pissy!wee-Sammy being totally "WhatEVer dad! Dean will 'teach me'... about cars and stuff..." *looks shifty eyed*

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

<9>10. The conversation between Gordon and Funboy?

DUDE! That actor was Funboy? As in the guy who shot the gun that killed Brandon Lee?!!! *sobs*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*nods* As in the very one.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

Your reviews are kinda refreshing and different, I must say. ;)

In conclusion: BOYS. ♥

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like to bring in the crack.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

And good quality crack it is. I like. ;)

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

I haven't cried while watching SPN this season until this episode. I like crying while watching Supernatural so I'm happy while being sad.

5 - That was SO hot and I kind of hoped he would actually kill her. Just 'cause (which has totally gotten to be an even better argument now)

Gordon scares (scared?) the shit out of me in a good way and I was so frightened when he started beating up Dean and Sam. Was kind of cool the way Sam killed him while at the same time not because that's not how Sam does things. At least not how he used to.

I thought that was Mercedes but I didn't see her name in the credits so I figured I was wrong.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

Dean's "Listen to the sound of my voice and you tell me if I'm serious or not." made me all weak in the knees.

damn right.

I hope she was scared. and that he tries to throttle her a bit next time he sees her. just for fun.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Dean's throttling her could lead to angry sex with breath play.

[chaegyeong.livejournal.com]

1 = Agreed. For me, it's because of BtVS. It's just weird to watch SPN vampires. And their horrible ugly teeth that makes them look like retards.

7 = Seriously? I didn't notice. That's just bad. ):

8 = Love that she is so seriously scared of Dean. Haha. He's so cute when he's pissed off.

11 = That kill was the most unrealistic one out of all the kills in the episode today. And Gordon's hand look like it's made of wax. Red wax.

15 = *nods seriously* Stuff rocks.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1. Definitely because of BtVS but I think other vampire lores are the same or really similar to the Buffy one, aren't they?

7. I'm almost sure Mercedes name wasn't in the credits, but it's possible I missed it somehow.

8. Most of the time pissed off or cranky Dean makes me giggle but this time? Weak in the knees!

11. I just loved how intently Gordon was staring at his hand, or I'm just easily amused.

15. I'm a big fan of stuff.

[chaegyeong.livejournal.com]

1. Yep. I believe Buffy's one is a combination of most lores. (: Then again, Buffy has 7/8 seasons to expand on the vampire universe. They pretty much have everything covered.

7. I checked. She's not in the opening credits. (Perhaps in the closing credits?)

[evilshelly.livejournal.com]

heh. the only thing i thought about mercedes was dude, really, *way* too old to pull off that OH MY GOD, 30 IS OLD! LIKE *DEATH* OLD! line.

but i was quite pleased to see her on reaper!

hi chelle! as you see, *i* have not de-friended you! so, really, all is well. :P

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I looked her up and she's 27. I was kind of hoping she was 30 or older because then it'd be really funny instead of mildly sad.

*nods* All is well. Really. *clings to you*

I don't know if I believe that Sam knows dick about cars. You'd think that John would've taught him something.

I think that John and Caleb and one or two other of John's friends taught Dean about cars and Dean loved it, especially because he remembers (just barely) before Mary died when John owned the garage and remembers John coming home smelling like grease and remembers going to the garage with John and learning about cars, so he's always loved cars and loved learning about them as a kid. By the time he was able to drive, he was also able to fix any problem that arose on the Impala (and most other types of cars), and just generally loves being around them. He loves being able to put things together and knowing how to repair something that's broken, and he loves working with his hands and his body, loves piecing things together.

Sam, on the other hand, has never been quite as interested in cars. At least, when he was a young kid he wasn't too interested. John left it to Dean to teach him about some of that kind of practical stuff - John taught Sam about hunting and about the importance of knowing his demons and ghosts and Latin and mythology and such, and they spent many hours together discussing old urban legends and ghost stories while Sam was growing up, but the regular, real-life stuff he left up to Dean (though probably unconsciously. Dean was just better at communicating with Sam, especially when it came to that kind of stuff). So Dean taught Sam about how to pick a lock and how to talk to girls and how to make meatloaf and how to treat a hangover, and all that kind of stuff.

And he tried for a while to teach Sam how to work with cars, but everytime they sat out by the Impala and Dean started pointing out different parts of the car and how they fit together and what connects with what to do what, Sam would sit in the grass with a book at Dean's feet next to the car and didn't pay much attention, just nodded occasionally along with whatever Dean said. He really wasn't interested in cars - especially as he was still too young to drive (even with a fake license) - as long as they run, he didn't care much. Dad and Dean were there to take care of it anytime the car had any trouble.

And Dean realized after a while that Sam wasn't interested at all in the car and wasn't impressed with his (Dean's) knowledge of cars, and though he'd never admit it, he always felt kind of bad that Sam didn't really care about the things Dean was interested in, and that he wasn't into books and research and school the way Sam was, and after a while he stopped offering to teach Sam about the car. When Sam got a bit older and started using the car a bit (when Dean let him), he started asking Dean to teach him things about it, hung around when Dean work on it, asked about what he was doing when Dean tinkered with things. But Dean brushed him off, told Sam not to tough his car, asked if he wouldn't rather be studying something or other instead, joked about Sam breaking the car if he came anywhere near any of its parts. And really, Dean, of course, was covering up for how disappointed he was that Sam never liked a lot of the things that were important to Dean, and how scared he was that Sam was pullng away from him and that Sam might someday leave him.

So he continued teaching Sam about stuff like how to start a fire without a match and how to talk your way out of a speeding ticket and how to play pool, but kept the stuff like cars and mechanics and fixing things - some of the stuff (outside of hunting) that is really important to him - to himeself, afraid to be disappointed by Sam's lack of interest in the things that he loves.

And Sam just always figured that Dean didn't want him touching his car.

swear Funboy was going to say "It's okay, baby, I still love you." and then they were going to make out.
I was totally waiting for this.

badass!Sam at the end was excellent, gift-wrapped or no.
