woof.

Oooooooooh I like LJ's banner for this month. *takes off LJ banner skin*

Totally forgot how much fun Apples to Apples is to play. Still unsure why it's named such. And I totally suck at it, in that I always choose the card that's like completely opposite what the category is because I play for the lulz and not to actually win. Heh.

I totally won when we played Blurt. Go me.

Also remembering that futons are fucking uncomfortable to sleep on right now. MEH.

So. Supernatural! I liked it, I liked it a lot! First episode of the season I can say that about. Or well, I liked 6.04 too, i suppose. But this one. It had Sam! and Dean! And stuff.



THEY MADE A SHERLOCK REFERENCE!

DEAN COMPARED SAM TO DEXTER! Remember when we were doing that in this post, just a few days ago!

SNIPER!DEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that they showed and mentioned Madison. I was kinda curious how Robo!Sam felt about past sexual encounters. Meh.

Also, skinwalkers!!! I've been waiting for an episode about skinwalkers since they mentioned them in what, Wendigo?

I bet Jared was in heaven with all these dogs on set.

LUCKY. DD:

Dear Supernatural, cars hitting dogs does not win you points with me. In fact it made me stop watching and go cry in the bathroom for a few minutes.

Oh, also, I didn't find Dean's crack about cirrhosis funny at all, considering the amount they show/imply he drinks every day.

Sam and Dean should've kept Lucky around for a bit. I think he was just looking for a home and I think he could've been incredibly helpful to them. For a bit I thought maybe he was gonna trudge up when they were eating at that picnic table, be all HEY, I'll be good, or something. Alas no dice.

So, I really like soulless!Sam. I mean, sure, I miss old Sammy as much as Dean, but I like this new version too, because it's just that. NEW. And shiny. And rather humorous at times. It's ~fascinating~ And I mean, Sam has been tortured enough throughout his life, poor guy always took things too hard, so it's this incredible change for him to not...take things at all, really. I liked what he said to Dean, flat out. And yeah, I feel sorry for Dean, but I'm kinda cheering for soulless!Sam at this point.

I'm hoping when Sam does finally get his soul back he's all Angel-broody and shit because well, his soul's in hell for one year up top so who knows how long that is in hell (He could already be a demon, who knowwwwwwws?) so he'll be like a kicked puppy, perhaps. Or perhaps he'll acclimate well. That'll be fun too.

In conclusion: SNIPER!DEAN. Needed more. Also, how come Dean's the sniper and not Sam?

Ooh, I like your idea of Angel!broody!! Like, he can totally be angsting about all the stuff he did while he didn't have a soul! I like it!

And yes, I'm also enjoying snarky!soulless!Sam. XD I loved all his interaction with Lucky. XD

Speaking of which, I'm hoping Lucky didn't get hit by a car and just finds a new family to protect, learns from his mistakes, etc. That was such a cute dog, too! :D

Also, how come Dean's the sniper and not Sam?
I think maybe in this case, since Sam isn't hindered by emotions, he's the better option for close combat, so Dean got to be sniper. At least in the last fight scene. Or who knows? Maybe it's Dean's sniper and he doesn't like Sam touching his toys! XD

I'm thinking it's probably because Dean knew he couldn't trust him not to hit the kid, lol. Or random innocents.

Meh, I'm not loving soulless Sam just because I think all of the things I loved about Sam are tied up in his soul. And really, I think it's entirely possible he was lying to Dean there at the end about wanting to feel again. Because Dean's being able to feel gave him an edge as a hunter and Sam could just want that. But he knows that putting it that way would drive Dean further away in the same way that saying he'd have betrayed them if he'd been Lucky would so he once again just told Dean what Dean wanted to hear. Right after admitting he'd previously lied because he figured it was what Dean wanted to hear. I admit, in a painful way, it's fascinating to watch him play Dean over and over again.

Though MY EXCELLENT THEORY is that Sam's soul is in purgatory. Because bringing Sam back from hell if they'd tortured him would really just be a rehash of Dean in season four whereas bringing him back from purgatory could be something totally different. Maybe his soul would want to stay in purgatory the same way his body on earth doesn't necessarily want a soul.

BECAUSE DEAN WITH A SNIPER RIFLE IS JUST WAY HOTTER THAN SAM WITH ONE, THAT'S WHY.

This. I'm surprised that Sam didn't make a "pot and kettle" reference.

Soulless Sam is starting to grow on me, I just wish he'd be a bit more (okay, a lot more) eeeeeeeeeevil.

Because Sam would have shot the kid or the woman, just to hit their intended target. Dean wanted to avoid hurting innocent people, if necessary.

The cirrhosis line had me twitch a little, too. But not anywhere near as much as the woman calling Lucky her boyfriend. I know they didn't mean it that way but it was awkward.

After reading all this, I feel like I need to go rewatch the episode, because I missed a lot of things. Like them mentioning Madison. And the cirrhosis comment. (Seriously, I hope the show addresses Dean's drinking problem in some form eventually. The man clearly needs an intervention.)

I'm so torn about soulless!Sam. On the one hand, I like him and find him intriguing and Jared's acting is blowing me away...but on the other hand it makes me sad and angry sometimes. Sam being a jerk to people makes me cringe so hard. It's confusing!

[identity profile] dawnintheforest.livejournal.com 2010-11-14 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I like your review! For some reason I wasn't as into sniper!Dean as I was into shooting-machine!Sam. ; ) They were both awesome, of course.
I like soulless!Sam too. Like you said, he's really intriguing. But he's also scaring me! Which is intriguing too, lol.

[identity profile] quantum-speck.livejournal.com 2010-11-14 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I like Soulless!Sam too! And the Dexter reference was great. I missed the Sherlock one, though? And Sniper!Dean was awesome. :D

[identity profile] haruslex.livejournal.com 2010-11-14 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I liked the Dexter thing because it means I can imagine Dean reading the books: if he watched the tv show then he'd recognize the actress playing Dexter's girlfriend, right? XDD I like it when Dean reads. And snipes. Mm.

[identity profile] kilynn16.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I was totally reminded of fandom when Dean called Sam Dexter. We got there first, Gamble! *G*

I found myself wondering what the fall out will be when Sam gets his soul back as well. I could definitely see him brooding it up, Angel-style. I loves me some broody!Sam. <3

Now as long as we never see another dog get hit by a car or shot on this show, I'm good. ;__;

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't even think about Lucky getting hit by a car, I just assumed he'd find a new family. DD:

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you're right. Dean probably insisted because he doesn't trust Sam.

I don't think necessarily he was lying about wanting to feel again, but more that he knows he SHOULD want that. No I think he's perfectly content as what he is because he doesn't know better. And I don't think he's intentionally playing Dean, either, more that he's just trying to not hurt Dean but he doesn't know how.

That's another thing. If Sam's soul is in hell, is it still in the cage with Lucifer or just out and about? Because yeah, stuck with Lucifer and then returned to Sam, it's just gonna be another woe tortured is me. Though I might be interested more because Sam's better at compartmentalizing than Dean so perhaps he'd be fine and then one day go all dark!Willow. That'd be fun.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS IS TRUE.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I was surprised Sam didn't mention it at all. Esepcially this soulless version with no regard to Dean's feelings.

I mentioned this in another comment but perhaps when Sam gets his soul back he's fine for awhile because he compartmentalizes better than Dean but then one day something happens to Dean and Sam goes all dark!Willow with all his pent-up rage. Though I suppose they already did the yellow crayon moment so idk how that would work.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, i get that now. dean probably wouldn't let Sam behind the rifle.

I missed the woman calling Lucky her boyfriend. HUH. The cirrhosis line pisses me off because they're never going to full-on recognize Dean's alcoholism, just make mentions to it and it pisses me off. They're glamorizing it, almost.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Madison was in the previouslys and I think Dean mentioned it to Sam and Sam just blew it off, which made me all sad because souled!Sam would've been all D: And YEAH, I'm pissed at the show for pretty much glamorizing Dean's drinking problem, especially after making it clear from the pilot episode that drinking while hunting runs in the family.

I think because it's confusing is why I like soulless!Sam? It's NEW and SHINY.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Soulless!Sam is NEW and SHINY and I love it.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Dean just says like No shit, Sherlock, or some equivalent. It just made me happy.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, haha, I never thought about that. but yes, I love literate!Dean, so of course he read the books. He wouldn't have time to keep up with the show anyway.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
She probably got it from us, the sneaky bitch.

And Sam's so good at keeping everything in, and I mean, he was already pretty brood-in-the-dark, anyway. Now all he needs is to keep his powers so he can be a little not-human and he'd be a perfect Angel.

No kidding. D:

[identity profile] smidgy06.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they're doing it a bit backward and since he's already had his yellow crayon moment, this time it'll be more Wrecked.

[identity profile] alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooooooh. Does this imply that Sam and Dean will tear down a building with their epic love for each other? ;)

[identity profile] quantum-speck.livejournal.com 2010-11-17 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha I doubt he actually said 'shit' LOL. But yeah I think I remember something like that. :P
