erdaOkay, that was, um, good and not so good.
Of the good, of course, was Sam's workout scene. Only (heh, maybe I've been watching that gif too much) it seemed awfully short. I also thought a lot of the one liners were amusing, especially Castiel's. And Castiel coming when Dean called him, even though later he tried to say that wasn't why he came, was lovely, also his referencing his past with Dean = pure fan service. The writers are trying to give everyone a little of what they want, it seems. I mean, unless you're a wincest shipper. I think they want us to die in a fire.
Which brings me to the not so good. What is it about these genre shows where the writers have to force a poorly developed het pairing down our throats. I guess they are trying to attract a more mainstream audience? They framed the whole episode with as much proof of the boys' heterosexuality as they could. It's hard for me to fanwank Dean dreaming about sex with Lisa...
Also not crazy about the angel fighting stuff. I just find it dull. I liked Raphael a lot, and I'm sorry they've decided to go with evil for him. I would have enjoyed seeing a more nuanced character, but this is Supernatural, and CoC never seem to get much in the way of nuances.
And just to end on a downer, wtf was that thing with the prostitute? I cannot believe they went there. What? Are there really men who still tell themselves prostitutes enjoy having sex with them, and that it is not just about the money? I about threw something at the television when that happened, except, it's my television and I can't afford to buy a new one, so instead I just yelled 'go to hell, you morons' at it.
Truly I'm losing my feeling for my OTP. I need some good fixing fic desperately.

This ep was written by Ben Edlund. Color me completely unsurprised.
Also, yeah, Show has wanted us Wincest shippers to die in a fire since the beginning of S4. It hasn't been the Sam&Dean show since S3, and S4 had all those blatant "codependent incestuous relationships are bad* anvils everywhere. Like we are stupid and can't separate Show from real life, or something.

Date: 2010-10-19 01:28 am (UTC)However in regards to your(and my)OTP, I am just seeing this a rough patch. Yup. Just Dean pullin a Sammy trying to be 'normal'. It's a hunters mid life crisis!

Date: 2010-10-19 07:28 pm (UTC)when the show starts gettin all down on my Sam/Dean I surround myself with amazing fic!! It's why I read yours :) So if you ever need some recs to make you feel good just let me know. I might be a little obsessive with sniffing out the good fiction! LOL

Date: 2010-10-20 01:13 pm (UTC)As for fic, heh, I've read a lot, though I am obsessed with bottom!Dean
because I think he is prettierfor some unknown reason. The only stories I haven't read are the ones I've lost when my browser crashed under the weight of all the tabs. Even those I mostly recover, but I think a few have slipped by me. However, I would never say no to people reccing the good stuff.(no subject)

I'm sure I've got more but she is just always the first I think of. Has an epic Evil!Sam verse if your into that. Or if you aren't 'cause she just does the 'I love you but I'm evil.' So perfectly. And everything she writes is great. Even Gen! And Lisa/Dean just is not interesting enough for me.

And I can't believe I even said that about Dean/Lisa as I've been strongly against it from the start, but I am easily swayed by canon events. Still, I'm hoping for some sort of nod to my OTP in tomorrow's episode. I don't need much. I would really like to see Sam actually succeed in saving Dean from something for once. ::crosses fingers::
