xaaraPlotty episode! Glee! The usual musings, things to follow up, squeeage, and notes.
My mother can't understand why my books have notes scrawled all over the margins and huge underlined passages. I think someday I will show her one of these huge rambly episode reactions and say, SEE? It's clearly hardwired into me.
Say it with me now, "Saving people, hunting things, the family business."
Recap. Actually, one of the better ones I've seen so far. Who gets to do the recaps? Can I volunteer? I want to do the recaps.
Sign: Thompson, Pierpont Inn, est. 1930. Creepy creaking.
Mysterious unmarked white van. Mysterious unmarked white vans are not of the good.
"Son of a bitch." Hehe, little cursing blonde girls. Very Shining already. (Who wants to take bets on whether Dean will make another Jack Nicholson joke?)
Doll mysteriously gets its head turned around. Man mysteriously gets his head turned around. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Missing poster for Ava Wilson, 5'5", 108 lbs, blue eyes, brown hair, last seen in Lafayette, Indiana. Behind here is a map with sticky notes. Scott killed here, star Sam, Andrew Gallagher with a string attaching him to the Sam sticky. Trying to plot out a pattern? Also, why are the handwritings on the notes so different? These are important things, damnit.
Ellen's got nothin. But Dean's got coffee. I am envious of Dean's ability to get the lid off his paper cup without spilling coffee all over himself. I can never do this.
"More angst and droopy music and staring out the rainy windows." Bitchface. "I'll shut up now." Hee, Dean.
Why are they assuming that some demon's taken her? Um, guys? One does not assume these things, generally speaking, in your world.
Yay! Music and car ftw.
Old-school haunted houses--love the way that when Jensen says it, it comes out as house-ess instead of howzes.
OMG DEAN HAS A CRUSH ON DAPHNE. he's a secret Scooby fan. I knew it!
I love how both Dean and Sam know what the quincunx is. I love continuity, too, because a quincunx serves a similar purpose to a crossroads in sealing spells, etc.
Dean is so insulted that he "looks the antiquing type." Seriously. It's kind of amazing. Dude, you're at an inn in the middle of Connecticut. What the hell else would you be doing?
"King-sized bed?" "Yes! We'd love a king-sized bed, thank you." I mean, "What? No."
I'm sorry, boys, but you actually look nothing alike. So, um, people are going to think you're gay. *shrug* Also, you seem to spend a lot of time on the internet. Figure it out.
"What'd you mean that we looked the type?" SO AWKWARD. Oh, Dean. And your lack of people skills.
Sherwin! Who drags Dean's bag up the stairs. Hope he doesn't have anything fragile in there. "You're not gonna...cheap out on me, are you, boy?"
Dude, that dress is actually kinda creepy.
HAHAHA the bed. I love those kinds of details, because the beds in Inns are always like that.
"Of course, the most troubling question is, why do these people assume that we're gay?" "Well, you are kinda butch, probably think you're overcompensating." "Right." (Am I? Shit. Should I grow out my hair? Start wearing ugly button-down shirts? Wait...)
Umm...so this camera angle, low and from behind, as they're walking down the hall? This is a nice camera angle, camerafolk. Just sayin'.
"He's got a major doll collection back home, don't you." BITCHFACE. "Big time."
"He's always dressin' 'em up in these little tiny outfits." MUAHAHAHAHA. DEAN IS SUCH A BIG BROTHER. That is so something I'd do to my brother. *hearts show*
Ooh, creepy Grandma Rose. Who is not see-able. Hmm.
"Don't go surfing porn, that's not the kind of whackin' I mean." lmao. Oh, Sammy. Oh, Dean. I forgot how much I loved it when they were brothers.
So, something bad is about to happen to this dude sitting on his bed. Also, why the hell is he just sitting on his bed? And then he hangs himself. Excellent.
Also: why is Sam so ridiculously pretty looking out that window? Seriously. He's been ridiculously pretty in general in this episode.
"Some guy just hung himself in his room." Dean, honey, it's hanged. Past tense of hang a picture is hung, past tense of hang a person is hanged.
"You're bossy. And short." hee. However, Jared Padalecki has either (a) never been drunk in his life, or (b) sucks at pretending to be drunk.
"That guy, who hung himself." HANGED! Sam, dude, you went to Stanford. On a full ride. Dean, I can close my eyes and pretend he just didn't know the difference. You, I expect more from. *breathes*
"I need you to watch out for me." "Yeah, yeah, I always do." (Flashbacks of "I want you to watch out for Sammy." "Yeah, Dad, you know I will.")
"Yeah, well, Dad's an ass. ... You don't lay that kind of crap on your kids." Wow. That little throwaway line really says a lot more about Dean than you'd think--he's really fucking pissed at John. With due cause, but still. That's pretty intense. Follow up.
"Dean, please, you have to promise me." "I promise." As I've said before, I think Dean could do it. I think he would kill himself afterwards, but I think he could do it. I want to meta this out. Self, note.
OMG THEY ARE SO GOING TO KISS. except not. but seriously. this is the gayest episode ever.
(you know, camerapeople, when I said earlier that the whole hallway ass shot was wonderful and beautiful and should be repeated as often as possible? Sam rolling over in bed with his shirt halfway up his side is definitely another one of those.)
hehe, this bar scene is so directly out of The Shining.
I love this Sherwin guy. Also, I love the bar glasses. "Boy, you should never say that to an old man." I want to hear your stories! I love old-man stories!
"Leaving the only home you ever knew." "I dunno, never really knew one." I love how this show slips its angst in between the cracks sometimes.
Dude, those flashbacks to the other instances of the five-point were totally unnecessary.
I like the statue of the owl in the hangover scene. An owl is a very apt symbol for Sam. Dunno if this was intentional, but still, night creature, associated with the goddess of war and wisdom, clairvoyance, definitely a Sam critter. Follow up?
WHISKEY AND JAGER? AND TEQUILA? *pukes in sympathy* God, Sam, I expected better of you. Seriously. Whiskey and Jager? This is the sort of thing most people learn about and get over in college, along with the proper past tense of "to hang."
So Sam doesn't remember last night? Except he totally does. And what happened to his cast?
Cast is back in the next scene. Um. Guys?
"What do you wanna do, poke her with a stick?" Nod. "Dude, you're not gonna poke her with a stick!" BEST. Oh, SHOW.
Wait. Maggie's imaginary? Am I stupid? Maggie's also now abruptly creepy.
ooh, I like Sherwin's truck.
DON'T WALK TOWARDS THE CREEPY POSSESSED PLAYGROUND! For crying out loud, woman, have you never seen any horror movies?
But it's okay. Because Sam and Dean are pulling up in the background to save you.
"Whiskey." A woman after my own heart.
"Listen, sister, that car didn't try to run you down by itself. Okay? I mean, I guess it did, technically, but, but the spirit can...forget it." Hehe, Dean.
Dude, that doll with the blonde hair is creepy. Also, that pool is creepy. I have a huge thing about pools that are set in deep wells. They freak me me the fuck out.
Hmm. I wonder if this show actually has the guts to kill the kid. I sort of want it to have the guts to kill the kid. Besides that would totally add to the Sammy-angst.
Aww, Sam gets his very own slow-mo Dead in the Water scene. Also: he looks very young with wet hair.
Um...stop STARING AT THE DEAD WOMAN. DO SOMETHING. Come on, I know you have first-aid training.
Aww, Sam gets a hug.
"Think you could've hooked up some MILF action there." AAH! NO, Dean. No.
Of course Sam remembers. "You were wasted." "But you weren't. And you promised."
Oh, the ending is beautifully creepy. And happy. And sad. And I dunno...wistful?
My mother can't understand why my books have notes scrawled all over the margins and huge underlined passages. I think someday I will show her one of these huge rambly episode reactions and say, SEE? It's clearly hardwired into me.

Date: 2007-01-19 09:27 pm (UTC)Oh, yes, introduction type thing. I had initially added your journal to my flist (I hope you don't mind ♥) because you were a FNL who also liked Supernatural and had Robin Hood love.
Now, however, I am sitting here dumbfounded because I had nearly the exact same train of thought as you for the entire episode. From the Shining references, to the antiquing, even the bad mix of alcohol... and I find it totally awesome in a really weird and random coincidence type way. *blinks*
(no subject)
Date: 2007-01-19 10:21 pm (UTC)Hehe, after you posted this comment, I clicked back to your journal, and we did have a lot of the same reactions, didn't we? Of course, regarding the bad mix of alcohol, drinking Jager in the first place is a pretty terrible idea, not to mention mixing it with anything. ;)
(no subject)
Date: 2007-01-20 05:06 am (UTC)And I swear that whiskey + jaegar + tequila thing is Dean giving him crap, and Sammy just got wasted on the tequila. Though not very wasted. Good job starting out drunk, good job finishing up drunk, terrrrible job in the middle, man. (I also went "He goes in for the smooch!" and was kinda O_o. 'Cause Sammy, not the time, dude. Not the time.)
I cheered Dean on the MILF line, as I'd just said the same thing. ;)
And it's funny that the ep that's all SHINING is the one ep where Dean doesn't make the reference.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-01-20 02:04 pm (UTC)Hmm, I should have spotted that, considering how much attention I usually I pay to language use in this show. *makes mental note* (I love it when Dean uses nonstandard English!) I had to look up MILF, and I find it interesting that Dean actually says "milf" instead of m-i-l-f, which implies that it's a pretty established expression, and I'm not going to turn this comment into a nerdy linguistic ramble, no I'm not.
Yep, this is a very educational show for me. I have to turn to Google and urbandictionary.com a lot. (And all the USA-specific cultural references! For instance, I didn't know anything about Schoolhouse Rock before Croatoan.)
