There's a first for everything..

I've never posted an episode reaction before and I really don't plan to make this a habit .... BUT

I just have to squee over the scene between Nick and Sarah/Lucifer. I know. I know there's lots more to squee about in that episode and I loved it all .... even though I wanted to shake Dean at the end... but that's all cool because I'm sure this season will be about Dean learning to trust Sam again.... BUT...

That scene between Nick and Lucifer really blew me away. First up I loved the intensity of it and the casting was just perfect. The actors seemed totally committed to the moment. Man if Mark Pellegrino is going to be playing Lucifer (which *doh* obviously!) I am totally IN FOR THE RIDE!! I adored the actress who played Sarah/Lucifer (yay! my name!). I loved her tenderness (reminded me of the "death character" from IMRoD actually) .and I loved the way her eyes looked different - one demon!like and the other human!like *eep* I hope that wasn't my screen. I'm really hoping that was deliberate. I kept switching my focus between the two - reminding me that this is not everything it seemed.

I liked Nick's back story - cliched maybe, but worked for the very short amount of time needed to get him to accept.

But really it was the way it played out. The manipulation to get Nick to accept Lucifer into his body. It was a lovely juxtaposition to how Zac was trying to get Dean to accept. Kudos to Kripke.. I liked the comparison.

That's it. Not much I know. But hey... there's a first time for everything! :)

YAY!! It's back and I'm still all bouncy inside!!! <3

You're right! That scene was extremely strong, and really formed a kind of quiet core to the noise and violent intensity of the rest of the ep. Which is arty because of course the very most intense thing going on is Nick providing a vessel for Lucifer.

I was also fascinated by the directorial choice to place both Dean and Bobby on steps so that they were higher than and looking down at Sam, for whole speeches. I need to rewatch, but that really stood out for me.

It was a tremendous episode.

I adore this kind of stuff. And yes, I noticed that too. Status play. (which would be quite tricky with someone as tall and imposing as Jared *g*) but it really emphasis his lower "position" with those during those moments.

Awesome episode. Actually, more so for me now that I've had a chance to mull it over some more..
