[Poll #2011057]



This might not work, but I'm keen to try it. I have a heap of thoughts about this episode. So many I'm not really sure where to start. So, instead of writing it all down, how about you share what you thought and we can chat about it? OR ask me a specific question and I'll answer it. That way the conversation will become the episode reaction. If that makes any sense (if not, I'll write something up later…*g*).

I adore talking about the show and accept the individual responses to it. I won't harsh your squee, nor will I spew rainbows over your discontent. At the moment I'm all over the damn place about the episode. I could squee and I could bitch. I saw brilliance and I saw major fail. I'm just…what is this show?! How dare you make me care so much when I see through your contrivance.

In other words…I need to talk!

Got 6 minutes in, turned it off, went out, haven't seen the rest yet, not sure if I even want to.

I saw your post hun. xx Um, I'd suggest the rest if you can, as those 6 minutes are really just Dean not being Dean. This ep is such a mixed bag. No one comes off as "nice". It's all darkness and death. Jensen is a thing to behold though. His performance as "other" is worth watching. There's something about this no-nonsense, ruthless Dean that's interesting. But it's not Dean, so it's like watching a monster that they'll have to do something with sooner rather than later. More sinister than Demon!Dean. I suppose they've been heading here all season. Hopefully they'll put the is horrid Dean behind them once he's cured.

And yet, Cas talks about Dean resisting the mark. "You could resist it for centuries, like Cain" he said. This is Dean resisting the mark? A wholesale bloodbath slaughter, and cold blooded murder of a kid? When Cain resisted the mark for centuries, that meant giving up killing altogether and retiring to the country to keep bees. What more does Dean have to do before they concede he actually isn't resisting the mark? Are they basically saying that anything and everything he does is OK so long as his eyes are the right colour?

That's racist.

Good point. I couldn't believe Cas thought that "maybe" Dean was changing. It was so bloody obvious. And CENTURIES of resisting?! He managed 1 season, so that's pretty good going. But Cas, aren't you watching this? He's turned! He won't last another week!

Omg, I did the same! And wasn't even going to watch the rest. I did later though anyway. Was it worth it? Hell, I don't know... LOL *crazy rolleyes*
