Supernatural 3x01 - The Magnificent Seven: Squee + Harsh
The Good Bits
- THE CREDITS! EEE! THE CREDITS! It sums up EVERYTHING so well.
- The SUPERNATURAL SIGN! METAL and SOLOMON'S TRAP!
- DEAN! TWINS! EEEEEEEE! I really want to say something more, but the image of Sam sitting outside in the Impala while Dean is getting it on with 2 twins in a motel –AHAHAHA! Priceless. Let’s not even touch on Sam walking in on the 3 of them! AHAHA!
- The SUBTEXT of their conversation in the Impala is fecking painful.
- At the house – The family that was killed by Sloth; creepy/
- I LOVE Isaac and Tamara! YAY! Hunters that is NOT happy with the Winchesters but NOT homicidal. Also, is Tamara Ianto’s girlfriend?
- BOBBY IN A SUIT!
- Sam is an awesome hunter. It always sneaks up on me just how deadly and how good Sam is at being a Hunter. He spotted the Skinwalker back in s1, knew something was off with Meg the second time they met, found the vampire nest again despite being blind folded the first time, and took down two SWAT guys in 5 seconds flat. Sam is awesome.
- BOBBY! LOVES! His anger is an awesome thing to see.
- I really like Tamara, I just wish they didn't push so hard on the 4EVA love angle with Isaac.
- Isaac's death was gruesome and horrifying. Cool points.
- Pride half mockingly telling Sam: "We’ve all heard of you. The prodigy. The boy king. Lookin’ at you now, I gotta tell ya. Don’t believe the hype." SQUEE!
- The BLADE! It is kind of awesome. Also makes me think that Samuel Colt didn't just make colts and railway tracks. Me thinks the man made MANY weapons of Demon Killing. Gods, is it bad of me that I WANT a spin of series on Samuel Colt?!
- Dean telling Sam about the clause in relation to the deal he made.
Conversation at the end:
Sam: Well, you are a hypocrite Dean. How did you feel when dad sold his soul for you? 'Cos I was there, I remember. You were twisted and broken, and now you are going to do the same thing, to me. What you did was selfish.
Dean: Yeah. You are right, it was selfish. But I'm OK with that.
Sam: I'm not.
Dean: Tough. After everything I have done for this family I think I'm entitled.
Dean’s CAREFREE expressions of joy, using his imminent death as an excuse to pick up girls, and his acceptance of said death. I’m BOTH GLEEFUL and WORRIED! The boy DESERVES much sex, but the Jensen played certain scenes – yeah, DENIAL!
5 days since the season 2 finale – it would explain the very little change in their moods and attitudes. I do love the Winchester dynamic of course Dean would make bad jokes and get it on, and of course Sam would try to do the nice thing (and the obsessive thing – researching into the deal already).
Also, Dean: "What’s in the box?" OMFG! It is FROM Se7En. AHAHAHAHA! Dean, you DORK!
The NOT so good bits
Not sure how I feel about the new chick. Presently she's too much of a taller version of Buffy without any of the good bits for me to like her. See, while Buffy didn't have the best fight scenes, it at least tried.
The introduction of the new chick involved really irritating editing, supposedly cool poses, and slo-mo in an attempt to make her look cool, while in reality made it really tacky. One of the reasons I love SPN is because when they fight it looks and feels as if they are really laying into each other. Not so much with the new chick. I did like the knife though.
The ordinary-ness of the whole episode - it felt more like a filler than a season premiere. I was expecting so much more because IMTOD blew every other season premiere out of the water, and I was expecting S3 to be something similar. Thinking on it, this is more like the pilot or the other series premiere. *SAD* .
I felt slightly cheated by how easily the 7 Deadly Sins were killed. They are the Biblical 7 Deadly Sins, and they got taken out in less than 5 minutes. This makes me rather sad and not happy. But Pride was all sorts of awesome.
I love the dork factor of the episode, but it is just so clunky, and Sam & Dean were so emotionally distant that it felt really difficult to love them. However, I have hope, because I remember the s1 stuff, and how the writers got off their asses and made it work.
It is good to have my show back. Now let's see how this season pans out.
ETA: Added more stuff behind the cut.
