Supernatural 3x15 - "Time Is on My Side"
May. 8th, 2008 08:55 pmOH MY GOD. OH. MY. GOD.
SHOW. I HAVE LITERALLY FACEPALMED SO MANY TIMES THIS EPISODE I THINK I BRUISED MY FACE. I LIKE MY FACE. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
So really, couple of points before I dive into the fandom squeeing discussion.
1. This episode is too much of a "OH MY GOD" to be good or bad, but nonetheless?
DING DONG, THE BITCH IS GONE!
AHAHAHAHA. I like how they tried to redeem her a little bit before the end. She was so scared and desperate. That's about the only two minutes I've EVER liked of Bela in her entire existence. I found her little "rich daddy raped me" backstory a little cheap though. Come on, SPN writers, you can do better.
2. Lilith is the contract holder. Not much of a shocker, but Dean saying "see you in Hell"? Is pretty much a promise that whatever face-off we're about to see in the finale? Is all Sam vs. Lilith. I guess the lessons of "Mystery Spot" and "Jus in Bello" are about to undergo a test.
3. Sera Gamble's take on "Frankenstein" is disgusting and, again, cheap. Of course Sam wants to save Dean, but at this price? Dean was right to shut that one down. And on that note, burying that monster alive was at the same time satisfying and gruesome. I don't like the thought of SamnDean doing anything as cruel as that, but at the same time, GAH HE ALMOST TOOK SAM'S EYE OUT. I mean, GAH. I was like, NOOOOOO THEY'RE SUCH PRETTY EYES DON'T DO THIS TO HIM.
4. That scene in the motel where SamnDean split their ways? Was FULL TO THE BRIM with the Man Pain, but also? SO OOC. Like Sam is going to let Dean go by himself. Like DEAN is going to let SAM go by himself. The minute he did that I KNEW Sam was going to get caught and Dean would save him at the nick of time. It was only a little prolonged. Whatever, show.
5. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD STOP FUCKING TORTURING BLACK PEOPLE, SHOW. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT. THAT'S HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING. STOP IT NOW, FUCKERS.
6. I found the guy whose heart was taken out very unbelievable. Who fucking stays conscious after their CHEST is SLICED OPEN? I mean, the PAIN ALONE should've knocked him unconscious at the very least. Come on.
7. Yeah, I'm not Sera Gamble's biggest fan. Sue me really. Jeremy Carver FTW!
8. MMMMMRRRRRF. The finale had BETTER BE WORTH IT, KRIPKE. I'm talking OODLES of pretty pretty Man Pain here, and at least THREE separate times where I can say "OH SAMNDEAN JUST FUCK EACH OTHER ALREADY MMMMKAY?". THREE, KRIPKE.
9. DING DONG THE BITCH IS GONE! :D
*koff*
Love. :)

Date: 2008-05-09 02:29 am (UTC)It TOTALLY did, and you know why? BECAUSE THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES. GNAH. Just...go write demon porn, Sera. Stop making me hate Show.

She was a Mary Sue, whatever the writers wanted to do, they did regardless of how it would look. I still cannot believe Kripke in interviews saying he didn't understand why Bela got such a negative reaction o__o Do. Not. Beleive. It. what kind of blinders were they all wearing?!

Date: 2008-05-09 08:22 am (UTC)Dear Diary: Today Hellhounds dragged Bela off. It was the Best Day Ever! Good Lord, I had Bela pegged as "killed her molesting daddy/grandpa/cousin" in HERE COMES THE FAILBOAT (or whatever that POTC ripoff episode was called), where the only people who see the ghost ship have killed a relative. I mean, the SECOND Dean asked what relative she killed I knew she had to have gone after Daddy for feeling her up. Looks like she also kacked Mommy for looking the other way, which I didn't see coming.
And uh. Why are S&D acting like the two brain-deadest teens in a crappy horror film? So soon after Ghostfacers? "Dean, let's split up, go to the scariest, creepiest places alone, and then I can get captured, AGAIN!" "Good idea Sammy, 'cause I totally don't obsess about your life and safety around psychos."
OMG Bones is a Zombie! (Seriously, didn't that guy remind you of an undead Dr. McCoy?) And okay, he's a monster, but they couldn't have left a few books in his casket while they bury him alive?

When I first heard about that episode I was all "YAY POTC TIME!" but it was SUCH an EPIC FAIL, I just stared at the Pretty and ignored the rest. And of course it had to be Bela's parents. Who else would she kill to make her so (*SNORE*) 'complex'?
The whole episode was like a crappy horror movie! In Crappy Horror Movie Universe, even the killers have no brains, so why the hell would SamnDean have one? So IC, writers. NOT.
