11.15 reaction

[ash48]

I wasn't really taken with that episode I have to confess. I started writing up why and it sounded like sour grapes so I've decided to just say that even though it had some funny moments (Jensen and his physical comedy being a highlight) and a couple of cute bro moments (Sam ribbing Dean while watching the wrestling), overall it left me feeling pretty flat and disappointed (and a bit squicked tbh). It might be that I'm feeling flat today due to a cold, so I'll watching it again to get a better perspective (though I will have to skip the Lucifer & Crowley scenes and the torture scene *meep*)

Happy to discuss in comments if anyone wants to chat. :)

Hey. I wasn't expecting much either (Dabb isn't one on my fave writers, so I was ready for that) so I'm surprised that didn't help.

I am so glad you liked it though. As you say below, it's much better to be happy than disappointed. It certainly is!

For me, pretty much everything you mention here I had an opposite reaction to (particularly Dean's reaction to Gunner - it was funny and Jensen is great at that kind of humour, but the overall acting in this episode really left me cold). Though I literally laughed out loud of Jensen in the ring. *g*

And it's not that I find Casifier annoying (he should be), its just the performance I struggle with. Though I desperately want him to get his comeuppance! I actually was hoping Crowley was going to kill him, but then remembered we weren't near the finale yet.

This ep isn't enough to get me down though (like some do). It was meant to be light hearted and a break from the heaviness the boys deal with so it worked on that level. :)
