Supernatural 2x02 Thoughts: Round 1

[stillane]

I really, really need to watch it again, this time without the distractions of a mother who is apparently phobic about this particular badie (who knew?) and a father who's not really that into the show.

That said,

oh lordy. Ouch. Just... all the way through, ouch.

I like the new crew thus far. Ash in particular, not the least because I have an established thing for characters who are far, far more than they seem. I think it's related to the fairytale plots wherein the lowly servant turns out to be a princess, etc., except I'm apparently just as amused when you substitute 'possibly drunken slacker' for 'servant' and 'mathematical/technical genius' for 'princess'. (And yes, I did just flash to John Sheppard. Shut up.)

Granted, I need to go back and check, but there was a moment there that made me go hmm. I have this weird sensation - and this is a left field guess, folks, since I'm unspoiled and trying to stay that way - that it would be a really bad idea for Dean to hit on Jo. As in, their children would be inbred. Just wild speculation, based solely on that last scene in the bar, and the way Ellen got all funny when Dean tried to work himself up to a decent come-on. Then again, I may just be nuts.

Dean crumbling at the end, though. Oh. I love the parallel with the Bloody Mary smash.

And that's all I can really say until I get to scrutinize in detail. Thoughts?

But imagine the fandom!! "He should get together with his brother!!" "No, he should get together with his sister!!" "You're all freaks!!"

*snort* Oh, man. Hehe. And poor Dean thought he had problems before.

[ignipes.livejournal.com]

HA!

Kris and I were just having that conversation -- what if they really DO go all Star Wars and Jo turns out to be their half-sister? I mean, they burned Darth Vader at the beginning, and Sam brought up the possibility of a John/Ellen hookup, and Jo's father is may years gone...

I think it would be hilarious. Left field, yeah, but funny. *g*

The end... holy fuck, that killed me. Dean. He's so ANGRY and ALONE. Gah.

[stillane.livejournal.com]

I think it would be hilarious.

Wouldn't it, though? I kept thinking, But then Dean would be all Luke, and he's really more Han, with the sweet ride and the ultra cool. And then he beat the hell out of the sweet ride, and I was too busy going all big, emo eyes.

That ending... oh god yes, that ending. Just... boom.

(Here via ignipes because it just so happens, we were talking about exactly this)

HEhehee. I would crack the hell up is Kripke went all Star Wars on us. That's all I'm saying... ;)

[stillane.livejournal.com]

Hee. I love fandom synchronity.

And yeah, I would keel over laughing. You just know Sam would give Dean hell about the non-flirtation, and Dean would pretend he knew it all along. And then Sam would ask him whether he's cuter than Jennifer Love Hewett, since he's so psychic. *g*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

And Dean would cough embarassedly. And the next time he saw Jo flirting with other boys, he would so kick their asses, because no one messes with Dean's family. :D

[stillane.livejournal.com]

And then she'd kick his ass for throwing off her groove, and Sam would bring beer over late at night and tell her the story of his very first date, and how Dean sat in the back of the theater the whole time because he was convinced that Mary Anne Fuller was a teenage succubus out to bag herself a virgin.

And there would be much rejoicing. *g*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

OHhhh. HAHAHAA.

Dude. It's kinda funny-sad. As much as I really want Dean to find that girl who makes him smile as much as Sammy does, and how sure I am that Jo is penned to be her, I really dig the idea of a little sister. Trying *SO* hard right now not to typecast her that way in my head. One Wincesty ship on this show is quite enough for me. HA :P

*goes to snuggle Sheppard and his slouching*

Uh. I am just here because I have had to much pizza and can't concentrate on anything. So I thought I'd read comments about a show that I can't sit through because they insist on having suspense. :P

[stillane.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Sheppard appreciates it. Boy needs a good hug now and then, as recently proven by Ronon.

Ah, the well documented effects of pizza abuse. It's a gateway food, too; you start out with just a little pizza, and then it's maybe a soda or two, and before you know it you're up to your eyeballs in Snickers bars and ice cream. It's a sad, slippery slope. (And this entire rabbit trail has nothing at all to do with the fact that there is no junk food in my house, and how very wrong that is. Why, I ask you? Why?) *g*

Evil havers of suspense. Hee. The thing that gets me about this show is that - with a few exceptions, which granted were a little on the ick side - there's very little actually shown. It manages to be creepy as all hell just via buildup and inference. There wasn't a single bit of gore in last night's ep, and yet it was big on the freaky. Yay for implicit violence!... Er. Yeah.

[enname.livejournal.com]

We must all emulate Ronon. *nod* The way of Ronon is good.

*g* I just went a bought Freddo Frogs for my students. *eyes them* I am currently trying to convince myself that I cannot eat forty of them, shouldn't eat forty of them and the aren't even for me. This is what happens when I buy junk, which is why I never buy junk! I console myself with the fact that the pizza was proper Italian.

Shuddup :P

You that is precisely why I cannot watch it. Gore squicks me but I can deal. Buildup and inference though will have me out of there like greased lightning. (you can grease lightning? always struck me as such an odd phrase) I mean, I read the end of books first because I can't cope. I bring books to the cinema because I can't just walk out in the bad bits. Even SGA has too much suspense and they have almost none! I have walked out on children's shows. I have deep issues and so SPN is like my idea of hell. God I even have trouble with fanfic. *shame* Don't even mention the X-files.

Um. I am taking my chocolate and issues to go sit in the corner. *nod*

I had the exact same thought. Especially since the mom looked mighty shifty eyed when she saw Dean and Jo flirting.

Ash is the coolest ever. The hair! What was it he said? Business in the front, party in the back. Hee!

[stillane.livejournal.com]

Especially since the mom looked mighty shifty eyed when she saw Dean and Jo flirting.

So I wasn't imagining that? I went back and watched again, and I kept waffling between her looking vaguely weirded out and faintly amused. I can't decide whether she's thinking, Well, damn, guess I'll have to tell them or Ah, to be young and dumb again. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thought there was something a little fishy to her there.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. *g*

And yes, Ash may be the coolest ever. I love the whole 'Yeah, go ahead and underestimate me. I could build a particle accelerator with your bathtub and some duct tape' vibe he had going. Like Macgyver in a mullet.

^___^ Mmmmm...I love flashing to Sheppard. But I also loved Ash and the fact that Dean and Sam could have had a shoot out with the girls and he probably wouldn't have batted an eye.

OMG!! I had the exact same thought!! What if Jo really is their sister? I don't think it's wild speculation or nuts. I really look forward to this season--it looks like it'll be harder to predict how the boys will act.

In other news, I bought satellite internet and I'm happily a member of the fast lane again :D Though certain communities that I considered the chocolate of my peanut butter life have mysteriously...disappeared. o.O
