vaznetti | SPN 3x01: seven something-or-others

Yeah, I'm back. I'm still feeling a little discombobulated, but I'm back.

The start of the episode, including the "then" portions, felt very meta... a kind of clunky conversation with the fandom, if that makes any sense. But then the plot got rolling, in its clunky way: I liked the idea of the demon clubhouse, but it seemed like there was a lot of exposition. On the plus side, Bobby lost his temper, and some new girl kicked a lot of ass, and the demons all know who Sam is, and like to mock him.

OK, actually, I really like the idea that Sam had a destiny, and now all he has is power, and that it's open season on him because he fucked his destiny, as I said to

phantomas to hell and gone. Or else Dean did.

I really miss John, by the way. Just thought I'd add that in.

The final conversation left me with some reassurance that we will see some depth to Dean again, eventually. Interesting that he still feels tired, even without his secrets to carry, that we see the return of the "after everything I've done for this family" line.

Apropos the final exchange with Bobby, if we're having the seven deadly sins, can we have the Four Horsemen too? I reckon that Kronos could claw his way out of hell if someone went ahead and left the door open. That episode would definitely get my squee going. Kronos and ~~Bobby~~ Dean (because I can't type) could bitch about how their brothers don't appreciate everything they've done for them.

Hi cool hunting couple. Bye cool hunting couple. Alas. Perhaps we'll see Tamara again? But hello cool new ass-kicking girl. Presumably you too will develop some characterization, someday.

All in all, I'm glad the show is back. I do like it.
