6.15 reaction...

I just. O_O

I think I might be the only one around at the moment not squealing over that. In fact... I'm sure I spent the first half with my head in my hands - not sure IF I could continue watching. Then I decided to chill out and just go for the ride but even then I felt like I needed whatever they were on. And holy crap - they were on some heavy duty stuff..

I mean. I get. I do. There were moments that I seriously laughed out loud. My fav moments were Jared and Jensen playing Sam and Dean trying to be Jared and Jensen acting. Jensen putting on the "serious" face and Jared shuffling about was hilarious.

And Misha. Misha tweeting was priceless. But Misha overacting at the end just left me wondering what the fuck that was all about. The whole thing.

Kinda makes me feel like a killjoy. I know it was a bit fun. A chance for show to play with itself (and yep, I do mean it like that..) and chance to say "HI" to the fans. *waves* hi show! Thanks for recognising us in your show..*feels special*

I suppose I've never been good with forth wall breaking. Well, obliterating. I hated Hollywood Babylon and the whole SPN book thing, so yeah it's probably not surprising that this just didn't do it for me.

I loved the idea of an alternative universe though. If they had seriously gone into another universe (bit like It's a Terrible Life,) I would have been in heaven. Especially as they were making comparisons. I did love Dean thinking this would be a better place for Sam to live. And the acknowledgement that they weren't even brothers in this universe. It had some sweet moments and it was nice to see Gen again. But I'm not sure if she actually played herself and that's what she is like or just a, idk, kinda sour version of herself.

I'm sure the folk at Supernatural Magazine will be thrilled though. That was a nice shout out.

I'll stop here. I obviously didn't have the right brain on for this episode. Especially as I know so many people loved it. I'm thinking this should have been an episode I spoiled myself with. Maybe if I had gone in prepared I might not have spent the whole episode going... what the fuck..?!

Dear Show,

I know you are a TV Show. I do. Weird eh? But hey.... thanks for reminding me.

Yours strangely miffed.


It's likely that once I start reading some posts and picking up on everyones squee I will be able to take this episode how it was intended.

Sorry I'm not dancing about the place...I know it's not much fun to reading reactions like this but I gotta write it as I feel it.

ETA: Due to awesome flist comments I am beginning to feel better about this ep. There's more to it then first meets the eye it would seem. (yes, yes.. takes time for the penny to drop /o\) I may well process this some more and revise my feelings on this ep.

Yeah. I too probably needed to be prepared. I mean, I did go along for the ride. Some bits were hilarious - so had me squirming.

Personally, I would really have liked Misha's death to have a real ring of truth about it. I'd love to have seen him play real fear. It really would have made this whole episode more worthwhile for me. But that whole killing spree what just some slap stick that really had me squirming. Sure - it was funny to see Kripke buy it. But I'd love there to have been some truth in there.

*shrugs* No biggie. I'm not nearly as pissed about it as I was before. That's why I love hearing other peoples thoughts.

*smish*

Because of his "silly" fear I didn't think he would end up dead. So I was a little shocked when the knife slit his throat. I wonder if the way it was filmed is a reference to some scene in some movie or so.

Yeah. Good point. By making it over the top we didn't see the real death coming... which makes it more shocking.

But then to have a melodramatic Gen and Kripke being gleeful over the coverage...*shrugs* ACK! See... I keep missing the humour in this ep. Obviously that's the whole point. By faking it it shows us how unreal everything is..

or something..

I am NOT going to get all thinky thoughts about this.

I'm not.

I'm not.

Lol! ;D

Yes, to me it was over the top too much, too. ...But maybe it was an alternative universe where all "real" people are a mere caricature of our reality. *g*

(End of thinky thought) :P

[ash48.livejournal.com]

OMG! I've just had all these thinky thoughts about this episode.

A comment below get me thinking and for some reason it makes a lot more sense to me.

That said...I don't know if my new way of thinking about it is right... it just helps with me accepting it more.

In my mind they film cast and crew were all kind of douches. I din't like them I couldn't figure out why they would show themselves like that. But of course, it's not the real real crew, just ONE alternate universe. A universe where God doesn't even exist. (assuming we take as read that in our world he does..to a lot of people...). So this was kind of fake and soulless SPN film crew universe. One where these boys didn't want to be.

God. Does that even make sense?? No wonder Gen wasn't very warm and Jared house was like some sort of monument to his wealth. In this universe Jared and Jensen don't talk to each other. So we know it's not OUR universe.

::KOFF::

I didn't get that the first time.

Damn it! I went all thinky on you!

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

I must say it does make sense now, with all the real life character being more of a cartoon than.. well... real life.

It was bugging me, too, and I didn't know why.

We are smart you know, we worked it out (with the help of some other comments..):P

*dances the "old, slow ladies" dance with you* hahahaha!

I'm thinking that given that they were killing 'real' people to play it straight would have taken all the fun out for them, and been to close to home to actually funny, so I'm all down with them doing it more slap sticky. And Mischa getting slashed still kinda shocked me.
