SPN: The Magnificent Seven

I had to go to my flist to look up the title.

Okay, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I liked the hunter couple and was glad at least one of them survived. Killing the black people only halfway is, I suppose, mildly better than killing them both.

I do not like Dean like this. Yeah, I can get his motivation, but seriously - he's being kind of an ass. I just can't quite reconcile him willfully behaving like this, knowing what it did to him to have Sam die on him. He's acting like it's no big deal the reverse is going to happen, and that's pretty callous if you ask me. Hopefully he'll get over it, because I'm siding heavily with Sam on the issue. I'm not sure Dean embracing his inner selfishness is the way for him to go in the remaining days of his life.

Meh. Blonde skinny girl saves the day and walks away. Oooh, how mysterious. Meh. Do not like that she's in the credits, thanks much. She could have been worse. I suspect she will be soon.

The whole thing felt...different. It was lit differently. Directed differently. Even the opening teaser with the guy getting demonized seemed...crisper, somehow. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I suppose it's good that I'll be able to see the eye candy better, but I don't think I can stick around only for the eye candy if the show is given a swirly (or two) by TPTB.

Everyone's gunning for Sam now. I mean, still. Heh. I did like that scene because Sam looked so darn cute.

There were a few almost-moments that I enjoyed, but overall I'm left uneasy. I don't want to be uneasy after a season opener. I want to be blown away, damnit.

So it was kind of like that for me.

Plus, OH DAMNIT I think a story I'm writing is going to look like a rip off of next week's episode and I don't know if I should continue it. I SWEAR I had the idea a long time before I even started writing it. I don't read spoilers, so I really didn't know. It'll be AU anyway, because my S3 is NOT going to go like the real one, I can already tell, just based on Dean. Hmmm.

PS, I just saw the dumbest preview for a Bloody Mary Ghost Whisperer. It looked ridiculous. Of course, that could be my strange love for SPN's Bloody Mary raising its hackles.

I'm not just siding with Sam on that issue, I just don't like Dean like this. I don't buy it as a way his character would react to that situation, but even if that's true, it's not at all fun to watch.

but I don't think I can stick around only for the eye candy if the show is given a swirly (or two) by TPTB.

Yours is the first review to make me laugh with this image. *g*

I hope you continue the story. I'm sure it will be better than the actual episode.

I felt the same way about Daniel. *g*

I don't want to give up on Dean yet either, but I don't know.... I also hope they give up on this attitude soon, though. We'll see. hehe

I also dislike the idea of expanding the world of hunters, though. I know that you don't, but it really bugs me. It really seems like they went through my mental list of things I wouldn't like to see on the show, and decided to add every single one. *g*
