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. :)

I agree. It had some funny stuff, and cute brother moments, but it was lacking in a lot of ways.

Some of it didn't make sense. Why would Gunner sell his soul to win a single match, when wrestling is planned out in advance.. there are no real "winners", it's all scripted.

Cas saying "yes" to Lucifer is a huge thing, but we've barely seen Sam and Dean react to it. They should be more upset about it... it undermined all of Sam's effort in saying "no".

Not enough Sam in the ep. *sigh*

Crowley escaping from Lucifer was very predictable.

Well, every season has a few eps that aren't great, or are just ok. We've been lucky in season 11, and most eps have been really good.

I agree with all of this. I remember feeling a bit flat after watching it and I think I just wanted a little more. I was hoping to see more reaction to them thinking about what Cas did. But as you say, most eps have been great this season. :))
