So, because I'm not really in SPN fandom, I didn't know who the guest star of much specialness was until I read about it in
zelda_zee's LJ just now. Personally, I think she was oodles better than the actress who played Cassie. Or Jo. Or Madison. LOL. I could go on! So there you have it, an entirely unbiased opinion from someone who didn't have the first clue who she was! I kept thinking "So, is the doctor someone I should recognize?" as no one recognizable had appeared so far.My attention wandered a bit during this episode. What was up with the frog? But I liked it. And did anyone else think that Sam was leaving Dean when he walked out of that hotel room? That that was his way of letting him go? No one else?
And OMG, I had to laugh because in my abandoned SPN Halloween fic from last year, my whole starting point was the boys discussing The Sixth Sense and how that was Mischa Barton in it! LOL! Ahhhh. Oh well.
And at the beginning of this ep, I thought, "Ooh, maybe finally a werewolf ep!" And then I remembered we'd already had one. Still waiting for a good one, honestly! (Yeah, I think I'm in the minority in not liking that one, apart from the sex scene and the music.)
No, Sammy, no!
And I forgot to watch Moonlight tonight. Oh well. And I'm permanently giving up on Heroes. I just stopped giving a damn.

I did! I actually thought he was gonna go off and, like, dedicate the rest of the season to trying to break the curse whether Dean liked it or not. Which sorta ended up being what he did, only he probably came back afterward.
I think Sandy's a cutie pie, but her acting wasn't great. I think that she could have been better if she had a smaller part. Like, Waitress Dean Hits on #2, or something. But that scene was emotionally heavy and I don't think Sandy was a good enough actress to carry it.
I can't, however, say enough about Jensen's acting in the hallway scene between Sam and Dean. Jensen has this talent for taking all this emotions, shoving them into his eyes, and making your heart ache for him. I've seen few actors do it, and do it well, but he's one of them (and Josh Holloway is the other, even though, I think Josh is still a better actor). And also, the second-long look on his face after Sam said, "You're not Dad." So, for an episode that I was pretty lukewarm on, those were the moments that really stood out for me.
That, and Sammy's sad, pathetic, adorable little drawing. ;)
Jensen still kills me, definitely. I'd be in heaven if he and Josh ever got to act together!
Sammy's drawing was adorable! As is your icon. :) And I'm glad they didn't split the brothers up for too long.
I thought everyone was going to latch onto the "gay" comment, you know, that's a good reason to like this show, there is drama and laughs mixed in.
I'm watchind CSI on onDemand..so I could just watch SPN last night, both shows were great.
Heroes, I'm still watching, I'll say the two problems with it right now...
1. it seems like it's piecemeal, just jagged random scenes..like that scene with Claire..first she agrees to do it (and it was a little on the stupid side) and then she says, "Someone could have seen us" why would she do it in the first place? A guy I work with said he's having a problem with the characters, that they act out of the character that has been established..that Claire was so independent last season and now she's doing things she wouldn't do--me, I'm chalking it up to her hormones taking over.
2. They should have put the "what happened in the 4 months that followed Peter goes boom" episode as the SECOND episode of the season, not the 7th.
And while I still love it, I think for a twist it would have been great to see Alejandro totally understand what Sylar was saying, and speaking back to him in English. Now THAT would have been a twist.
And as for Supernatural, yeah, I laughed over the gay comment but since I don't do Wincest, I figured I'd let the fangirls who do run with that one. :)
But I totally understand as well, characters acting out of character, taking too long with Peter's storyline, and personally, I think the Maya storyline, I've gotten to the point where I'll freakin' buy them a ticket to NYC.
I don't do Wincest either, I was figuring those who do on my flist would be squeeing about that one though.
I know you wrote about other stuff in this post, but I'm afraid it all went out of my head the second I got to the pics. :)
I adore Sandy, she seems so cute, but I wasn't too crazy about her in that scene and I think they could've gotten a better actress to play the part.
I'd seen pics of Sandy and Jared from that last scene so I was kind of waiting for it all through the episode and I figured that was what Sam was doing when he left but my friend that I was watching with, almost started crying because she thought Sam left. So you're not alone ;)
I thought this episode was really cool and both Jared and Jensen were great and they sort of made me tear up once or twice...
The only reason I currently watch it because I love Kristen Bell. hell, I watched S3 of Veronica Mars for her, which makes this easy. Haven't paid much attention to the last few episodes, though, and I tend to skip some parts because they're too boring, but I still watch.
I liked Claire and Peter and Hiro, but I just don't care about the big boogie man or Molly or ... well, all the rest of it. And so many of the existing characters bore or bug me and I didn't like any of the new ones. And I'm not a VM fan, so nothing really to keep me watching. I guess I'm not alone in being bored, then!
Heh, I'm actually watching Buffy at the moment. Just started S5 and am in the middle of S2 of Angel. Have heard that buffy gets worse whereas Angel gets better.
Yeah, even the characters I liked last year (the same as you + Nathan) are starting to bore me now...
Buffy does indeed get worse and worse. :-( S7 is painful! But ... you have to hang in there for the musical episode! That makes it all worthwhile. I confess I got so disillusioned during S6 that I read all the spoilers I could find. So I can't say how happy I would have been with the way it wrapped up since none of it was a surprise at that point. Basically, I think adding Dawn was the beginning of the end. BAD idea. Same with a similar character on Angel. MEH! But Angel was mostly very enjoyable, apart from ... well, you'll see! And they went out on a strong note, definitely.
I loved that episode your icon is from! I think both SMG and Eliza Dushku did a fantastic job, they got all the little things right and it was wonderful to watch. After being excited about how great that episode was, I started thinking about how much I want a bodyswap episode of Supernatural. I think Jared and Jensen could really pull it off and I so hope we'll get one sometime in the future. Didn't one of the writers say it was a possibility, too? I'm going to pretend to have heard it, anyway ;)
And ahh, I would love some body switching, LOL! I adore that ep of Buffy and I think Jensen & Jared would have a blast with it!
Let's keep out fingers crossed for getting one ;)
I'm not very impressed with most of the female demons, apart from the one in Sin City. I particularly haven't liked any of the crossroads demons so far, apart from the first black one who takes Robert Johnson's soul, so to me Sandy was about on par with the rest of them.
I didn't cry when Sammy died (because i knew it couldn't last!) but I did start to cry when it looked like he was leaving Dean. Noooo! Ahh, those boys always get to me!
I liked the episode, was puzzled by the familiarity of the girl playing the demon, until the penny dropped. I thought she did okay to be honest.
Jensen Ackles continues to stun me, apart from the sheer beauty of the guy he's a fine actor and getting better all the time.
And mmm, yes, Jensen gets me every time with not just those lips and eyes, but how much emotion he can convey with so little. Damn fine to watch on so many levels!
lovely lovely pics. Sam is certainly getting very distracting lately, as my focus used to be almost all on Dean. and once an episode (or more) I'm going all: OMG look at his haaaaaaand!!! O_o
;)
And yeah, it was kind of all about Sammy this ep, who'd thunk? Sometimes I kind of, er, lose interest in Sammy-centric eps but I liked this one!
