roguemMy review.
- I feel like a freak, but the opening kill was awesome. I was so stunned, I did not see it ending that was. I wonder what the original cut of it was like since they got to show this.
- Sam in the beginning trying to lie about the phonecall, lol, that was so lame it was awesome. I was lauging like crazy. Calling out for pizza when he's in a restaurant, oh Sammy. He could just have said he was checking in with Bobby about the demon activity... but that wouldn't have been as funny.
- I can't help it but horny-Dean both amuses me and embarrases me to no end. And come on Dean, she had balloons tied to her fence in the driveway, what did you think was going on?
- The women talking about Lisa's desctiption of Dean was just too funny. I thought I was going to die. And then their simple attempts ad 'come hither' looks just slayed me. Poor Dean seemed so freaked.
- Haha, and then another freak out when he meets Ben and does the math. Lol, the look on his face as he counts the years and then stumbles over the trash can was pure gold.
- So Ruby's back. She is a bit high and mighty, but considering what happens later it makes a lot of sense. The weird thing though... she says 'Sam' the same way that Meg did. It's a little unsettling.
- That little girl was damn freaky. Seriously! Kids can be so insanely creepy. Episodes like this freak me out a hell of a lot more than most other creatures.
- Ï loved the scene where Dean tells Ben how to beat up the bully. That was priceless. I can just see young-Dean attacking bullies in the same way. We need another flash-back episode dammit!
- I get why Lisa was pissed at Dean for encouraging Ben to fight though, but it made for a great scene, the look on Dean's face when he's been busted is just to good.
- Ok, the mom drowning her kid... I get that she was freaked, but that's not the way to handle it woman! But it turned out not to have any consequences in the long run, so I get it.
- The fact that Dean went straight for Ben when they figured out what was going on, was just about the sweetest thing ever. Awww!¨
- I liked Ben being a good kid and helping Sam and Dean get the kids out to safety before thinking of himself. Even taking a look back before getting out to make sure Dean and Sam were doing ok.
- I loved Dean with Ben. I knew Ben wouldn't be Dean's kid, but by the end of the episode I didn't hate the idea. But that's mainly because I think Ben was a great kid. I kind of wish they'll revisit Lisa and Ben at some point in the show.
- The part where Dean is kind of sad that Ben's actually not his, and for the first time seems to see what he's lost by making the deal with the demon was really sad. I love episodes where Dean interacts with kids, so am hoping for more in the future.
- I knew Ruby(?) was a demon! I friggin knew it! Remember in my review of the last episode I said I had a theory about her? That was it!
I thought they were going to wait a little longer to reveal it though. - Part of me hasn't gotten in to Sam's side of the story yet, with figuring out about all his mother's friends and that Ruby's a demon and such. I guess I need more info, and a little more urgency.
I was waiting for Ruby to offer to help and save Dean, but I know it won't come cheap.
Sam: (trying to cover up his phone call) Oh, I was just ordering pizza.
Dean: Dude, you do realize that you’re in a restaurant?
Sam: Yeah! Oh, yeah, yeah... (lamely) I just felt like pizza, y’know?
Dean: Okay... Weirdy McWeirderton.
Sam: So let me get this straight. You want to drive all the way to Cicero just to hook up with some random chick?
Dean: She was a yoga teacher. That was the bendiest weekend of my life!
Sam: How many dying wishes are you going to get?
Dean: As many as I can squeeze out.
Dean: Come on, smile, Sam. God knows I'm going to be smiling after 24 hours with Gumby girl. (chuckles) Gumby Girl... does that make me Pokey?
Dean: Hey. So, I, uh, met Ben. Cool kid.
Lisa: Yeah.
Dean: You know, I couldn't help but notice that, uh, he's turning 8. You and me... you know.
Lisa: You're not trying to ask me if he's yours?
Dean: No. No, of course not. He's not, is he?
Lisa: What? No.
Dean: Right.
Ruby: (eating a french fry) Ummm, these are amazing. It's like deep fried crack. Try some.
Sam: Why are you following me?
Ruby: I'm interested in you.
Sam: Why?
Ruby: Because you're tall.
Ben: No, don't go over there. Only bitches send a grown-up.
Dean: You're not wrong.
Ben: And I'm not a bitch.
Dean: We'll just drag the kids, lay them out, torch them in the front lawn. That'll play great with the neighbors.
Dean: Y’know how I never mentioned my job? This is my job.
Lisa: I so didn’t want to know that.
Lisa: Ben may not be your kid, but he wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you. That's a lot, if you ask me.
Dean: You know, just for the record, you got a great kid. I would have been proud to be his dad.
Sam: You're a demon!
Ruby: Don't be such a racist.
Sam: Why would you possibly want to help me?
Ruby: I have my reasons. Not all demons are the same, Sam. Not all of us want the same thing. Me? I wanna help you from time to time. That's all... If you let me, there's something in it for you.
Sam: What could you possibly...
Ruby: I could help you save your brother.

Date: 2007-10-19 12:05 pm (UTC)And yeah, more infor on all of that would be good.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-19 02:19 pm (UTC)and yes!... more please!
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-18 11:13 pm (UTC)lol- the quotes- Gumby Girl and Pokey are seriously two of the best lines from the whole series. Just the look on Dean's fave when he says 'Does that make me Pokey??' is freaking priceless!
I have another theory about Ruby, which I will cling to until it either happens or I found out I am WAY off base. Not to mention people in fandom might think I've lost it, lol.

Date: 2007-10-19 12:08 pm (UTC)No, Kripke has promised the viewers that these girls won't be love interests, and I'm pretty sure he'll stick with that plan. At least I hope so.
I think the reason they split the boys up in this episode at least is to give them a little more time to breathe between shooting. Their schedules are crazy.
Hehe, I googled Gumby, so now I get it. Lol. :)
Oh, now I'm intrigued. Please tell.
I have a little thought about her too, but it's based on such a simple thing that it'd be nuts if I turned out to be right.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-20 09:22 pm (UTC)I hope he does, because I really don't want this show to turn away from the brothers. I don't mind recurring roles as long as it doesn't take away from DeanandSam time :)
And..I kind of like Bela, even after she went psycho on Sam.
I can see that and hell if anyone deserves some time off it's them, just as long as they don't split them up too often I'm okay, lol. That sounds really selfish :P
Google is love. I don't know what I would do without it sometimes, lol.
It's not that "OMG" of a theory, it's kind of simple like you said and I know I'm not the only one thinking it. I would still feel like a complete dumbass if I was wrong though, lol. Just...look and Sam and Ruby in the last scene of TM7, the fact that they both have demon in them, she knows soo much about Sam's life...and I won't go there because I'm going to feel incredibly dumb if I'm wayy off base, lol.

Date: 2007-10-22 09:01 am (UTC)The way it looks now, I think he'll stick to those rules. Unless the fandom starts wanting something else I guess.
I don't mind recurring roles either, in fact I like it because it makes the world a little more stable.
I kind of liked Bela too, she was a strong character. Actually kind of looking forward to seing her again.
Hehe, I understand. i love the brotherly banter scenes as well.
I've kind of abandoned mine now, reason got the better of it.
You'll have to tell u s if you were right if yours happens. :)

Date: 2007-10-28 01:06 am (UTC)True, gives it a nice balance seeing the brothers interact with other hunters/people. Just as long as we don't lose the brother -banter and SamandDean show.
I'm surprised I liked her as much as I did after she shot Sam. I guess she left an impression, not to mention she has good chemistry with Jensen. I think they could really play up her riling Dean up every chance she gets. It'd be good to see someone putting him in his place, lol. I think he'd be adorably flustered about it.
It makes the show. No way would I be as invested in it if it wasn't there. Jensen and Jared just have chemistry in spades and it makes the characters come to life in a way that's very rare to see on TV.
I'm clinging to mine, lol. I don't know...but it just seems to fit. Then again I am probably so wrong it's hilarious, lol.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-31 12:49 pm (UTC)Hehe, I agree with you there, more banter is always good.
I liked that too, and I like the fact that these girls have come into the show more as advisaries to the boys. Bela might join them at some point, but there could be fun scenes where she's pestering Dean.
Very true. It's rare to see such good chemisty on TV.
Well I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-11-03 06:46 am (UTC)I do like that. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they stick to the "girls are not going to be love interests" like they said. I'm not sure why I like Bela more than Ruby...well, that's a lie, I like the actress better, lol. Oh it could be great...she seems like she'd give as good as she gets, ya know?
It's extremely rare. I've seen shows that had a really good storyline be ruined by lack of chemistry between the actors- no need to worry about that with SPN!
Me too...and I will completely deny ever having a theory if it gets shot to hell, lol.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-11-05 02:48 pm (UTC)Me too. I really can't stand more drama about possible love interests right now. Anyway, I can't really see it happening with any of these girls.
Heheh, yeah. Even in this show. That was my main problem with Route 666, the horrible actress that had no chemistry with anyone.
Lol.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-11-26 01:55 am (UTC)I'm so sick of wank. It's all I see lately. Whatever happened to flailing about the show and how great it is? I wouldn't like the idea, at all, but I'm not going to wank about it or stop watching. I just miss the days of happy fandom, ya know?
You talking about the SPN episode or the show? Cause I've never seen that one, but I have seen more than my fair share of shows wherein no one has any kind of chemistry and it just ruins it for me.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-11-27 12:07 pm (UTC)I'm almost never in the comms anymore because there's always somebody bitching about something. I can just see the day when some rabid fangirl gets dragged away from the con because of wank or something.
I miss happy fandom too. I've never been part of a fandom with this much wank before.
The SPN episode. The girl who played Cassie, I thought she was horrible.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-11-30 04:35 am (UTC)I'm not on too much either, never really was. I'm not even sure what the current wank is all about. I've seen people on my flist post about being annoyed with the wank, but I don't know what's causing all the drama. Oh man, I can too, it's just a shame that people have to try and ruin it by bitching about things that don't even matter. Oh I have, I've been in the BSB fandom for about 15 years and trust me...it gets very wanky.
Ahh- I didn't like or dislike her. She was alright, but she wasn't someone who I wanted to see back. I think she over-acted is what the deal was...and how someone could not have chemistry with Jensen Ackles is beyond me! But...ya know, they kind of didn't crackle. The sex scene was hot- but it was more him and the way it was shot with the lighting and everything than the actually chemistry between the two.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-12-04 10:18 am (UTC)I tend to know what the wank is about, because there's always someone who posts about it. I am a member of many coms, but I'm almost never there.
People are strange...
What you mentioned is basically the reasons why I didn't like her. I've seen her in other stuff and she was terrible there too. I had to stop watching The 4400 when she got a regular spot there.She had no chemistry with Jensen, I agree. And yeah, the sex scene was hot, but she just ended up being a prop.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-12-19 01:49 am (UTC)Oh SPN owns me, I don't even try to deny it anymore, lol.
I'm usually behind on what all the wank is about, because I am a member of a few comms, but most of them are fic ones so there's not too much wank going on in them. It's just ridiculous, man, I mean why the hell get all bent out of shape over stupid little things. I don't get it.
Oh that's right she was in that. I never watched the 4400, cause I'm more of a Dead Zone fan, but yeah...she just didn't click with anyone at all. I didn't feel for her and that's crucial when you're trying to make a character out to be one of the main actors love interests. Definitely, he owned the scene and she was just kind of in the way of the Dean-hotness :D
(no subject)
Date: 2007-12-23 08:18 pm (UTC)Oh, it's impossible to deny. I've embraced it now. My brain has a sign on it that says 'Supernatural'. ;p
I don't get it either. People get so easily bent out of shape for silly little things. We're all here to share love for the show.
I was never really that into the 4400, just something I watched at Uni to kill some dead time, but when she joined the cast I had to give up. I have 4 seasons of Dead Zone lying here somewhere, might have to actually watch them someday. ;)
They could put Dean in a sex scene with a plastic dummy and he'd be hot... well, that's kind of what they did. ;p
(no subject)
Date: 2007-12-24 09:15 am (UTC)LOL- same here. It's scary how hooked I am on SPN.
Exactly, I just don't get all the drama. I may not agree with what someone says, but that doesn't mean they aren't entitled to that opinion. Just, there's a serious lack of respect in fandom nowadays.
I think I watched one or two shows, it just never clicked with me. I NEED to get the DZ dvd's- it's the only show I love that I don't have the seasons for yet. I adore Anthony Michael Hall and man...did he go from geek to sheik! LOL
LMAO!! Oh man, I love it!
(no subject)
Date: 2007-12-31 12:21 pm (UTC)It think there's a serious lack of respect in general these days.
But yeah, fandom is the one place people should be alowed to share something good instead of attacking each other.
I totally understand.
I don't have the DVDs of DZ, but I have the first 4 seasons. ;)
Just need to watch them. :p
He's had one amazing transformation.

Date: 2008-01-08 05:12 am (UTC)There really is. The more I'm out and about the more I see of it. People are so rude to each other nowdays, it's sad. Whatever happened to "treat other the way you would like to be treated"?? Amen to that- fandom is supposed to be where fans go to get away from it all and to talk with others about a common love of something- not bitch and moan and snipe at each other like kids!
Ahhh- I need to get the DVDs. I'm hoping to catch them on sale one day or for a good price on EBAY :D
Yes he has! He's pretty damn hot now! :P
(no subject)
Date: 2008-02-15 12:42 pm (UTC)I want to see those movies, and I guess I'll always keep hoping that they'll make the third one. It would be nice to get closure.
To true. I guess we can just keep hoping that other people will realise it too. Would be lovely to have a com with no drama.

Date: 2007-10-19 06:03 am (UTC)Sam is not a good quick thinker, but it makes for funny scenes, haha!
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-19 12:11 pm (UTC)It's amazing how scary they can make a little kid.
Lol, yeah, there is that. It was funny though.
The look on Dean's face was funny too.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-19 06:41 pm (UTC)Plus, many of the looks on Dean's face were just classic for him esp. when she said that Ben wasn't his and the part where he realized that Ben wasn't himself and then at the end when he tells her that he would have been proud to be his dad. I mean that was so sweet.
Sam and the pizza. Lmao
Ok all in all a wonderful episode and very funny. I so didn't think they could top it, but last nights episode proved me wrong that was too hilarious!
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-22 09:04 am (UTC)Yes, Jensen had some knockout scenes during this episodes. Most of them involved Ben.
Cool! :D
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-22 06:48 pm (UTC)Yeah I love seeing Dean with Ben. It was so adorable!
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-27 12:12 pm (UTC)It was. I love it when Dean get scenes with kids.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-10-31 03:02 pm (UTC)Yeah me too! This is so far the 2nd best episode IMO. I loved Bad Day At Black Rock best! That one was just the best!!!!!! Too funny!
