SPN: The Kids Are Alright
The negative qualities of tonight's episode far outweigh the positives.
The Bad:
1) Dean and Sam doing the brother thing - all of, what, 3 minutes?
2) The mini-Dean. Barf.
3) Psycho kids will be done much better in my fic.
4) Ruby just showing up all over the place. She's like a stain on your carpet - even ifyou clean it, chances are it'll pop back up again. Bleh.
5) Did I mention lack of brother moments?
6) Anti-climactic end to the monster of the week, but then there wasn't really a build up, was there?
7) Ruby. BLEH!
8) I didn't even like the music.
9) I still don't buy Dean as he is, and frankly Sam keeping secrets isn't really making me happy either. Especially big ones.
10) Why do you hate me as a viewer, PTB?
The Good:
Er. They looked good?
*sigh* I'm afraid I'm not woman enough to stick around and hope this shapes up. The previews for next week looked dreadful. I'll give it 6 episodes, and if it's still made of suckiness, I think for my own love of Sam and Dean I will have to stop watching.
Yes, I know I'm apparently in the very tiny minority on how I feel about this episode.

I don't know. I loved him on Dark Angel and that character was a bit more like this. I think JA does humor well most of the time, but this doesn't seem like humor to me. It's like they decided to wildly exaggerate some of Dean's characteristics and personality traits and forget about the rest.
I didn't buy that more serious conversation at the end of TMS either. It was like all the chemistry that had once been between them was completely gone, but mostly I just didn't buy that Dean. I felt like I was watching some other show, some other character.
I *did* buy Dean's angst about the kid, but it had no impact for me, because it wasn't shared with Sam. I think that was the main part of my problem with this episode. I didn't care about any of it, because none of it had any impact on the brothers--just on each of them individually, like they were on separate shows. Even Sam's slight involvement in the case felt forced. They were barely in any scenes together so there was little interaction even over the case. I also saw no chemistry in this episode either--just...a disconnectedness.
Oh, I take that back. In the little "ordering pizza scene"--that was cute, but it wasn't much. *g*

The show could be renamed "Two Dudes Spend As Little Time As Possible Together While They Drive Around The Country Fighting Evil, But Who Really Cares Because They Apparently Don't Know Each Other "?
