SPN - 6x01 - Exile on Main St.

[elleflies]

Why am I still watching this show?

Yes, I know, if you don't like a show, don't watch it. I've been watching this show for years and this is its last season (it had better be!) so I feel like I should stick it out. Also, I saw them at San Diego ComiCon, I feel like I have to see this through.

First off: Not enough Castiel.

Secondly: I was thrilled when Sam went to hell, I don't want him back.

This is a surprise to absolutely NO ONE.

The life Dean currently has is what I've always wanted for Dean. Sam dead and Dean living life, it would be better if he threw a party instead of angsting about it all. *woe is me my roided out brother went to hell* but then this wouldn't be an episode written by Sera Gamble.

Dean: THROW A PARTY. THIS IS A GOOD THING. SAM OUT OF YOUR LIFE IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

I do not like this Dean's life now as opposed to his life then montage one bit. I am also the person instigating for a party celebrating a character's death, so yet again, this should surprise no one.

SPN is a world populated by beautiful women. Not a single one is a representation of what real woman look like. All women in SPN land are gorgeous and slim. This message is brought to you by the bar Dean is drinking in.

Q: What is it with Dean? Why do women throw themselves at him.

A: They have eyes, I mean: LOOK AT HIM. DUH.

I'm totally calling this one as nothing Supernatural at all. Dean's just jumpy because he's had the worst upbringing ever. It's probably some hobos getting coked out of their minds. What? I've been in abandoned places, it's usually drugged up hobos. They can either be a help or a hindrance. There was one lovely lady who happily kept an eye out for the cops for us. And there's blood, guess I guessed wrong.

OMG it's a YORKIE. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. Yorkies are frightening, they just want to lick you and cuddle up to you, it's just icky. I don't like small dogs either, Dean. SHOOT THEM ALL!

Hey, the Yellow Eyed Demon! I like! Except, why am I convinced Dean is hallucinating? And It turns out I'm right about the hallucinations, go me and my predictive powers. Or maybe I should be saying: Go Sera Gamble and her powers of crap writing.

Ugh, Sam. His forehead keeps EXPANDING. It's gross.

How about a bullet to the brain. Trust me Dean, that's the best way to greet your brother. SEND HIM BACK TO HELL. No hugs, no tears, just hot lead. Trust me, he'll love it!

Why in SPN world does everything come down to slicing your own skin? Hey Sam! Here's an idea! Slice your own throat! If you're gonna prove it, PROVE IT.

About a year? Wow, Sam is a douchebag. Not that this is any surprise to me, but its nice to know how much Sam really cares about Dean. Which is... not that much. I would like to take this moment to fully recognize my hypocrisy. I want Dean to have a great life without Sam but I get pissed off when Sam didn't let Dean know he was out of hell. Yes I prefer Dean to the point that anything that hurts him just pisses me off. And really, the thing that has hurt Dean the most over the years, is Sam.

"My god you have delicate features for a hunter" BEST LINE EVER.

Samuel can stay, he's an enormous asshole, but at least he seems like an entertaining asshole. I do, however, hate whomever brought Sam back. Do you hear that whomever brought Sam back: I DON'T LIKE YOU.

"Don't touch the decor. Assume it's all loaded" Words to live by in Bobby's house.

I like Lisa. She seems good for Dean. Too bad he's always determined to tear himself down, I do love that she just won't let him. This woman is amazing. Dean, you have found the girl for you! *Jumps on the I Love Lisa bandwagon*

Corin Nemec, I'm sorry, but I can't help but see Jonah from Stargate SG1. Also, fun fact: Corin Nemec would like to swashbuckle with Errol Flynn. This message brought to you by DragonCon (and by Chris Judge turning EVERYTHING into a homoerotic joke)

I'm not feeling very sympathetic towards this family. It seems they feel disdain for anyone who is not them. Any hint of normalcy and they don't like it. Dean should RUB IT IN THEIR FACE.

"half-eaten human hearts and exsanguinated ten year olds and it's making me uneasy" Just uneasy? REALLY? Grandpa Cambell, you are not an easy man to like if dead people, especially children, make you JUST uneasy.

Jensen Ackles is doing a really good job portraying Dean's unease with the situation. Look! Acting! Brilliant! Take notes Jared!

The tattooed lady as the Djinn. I totally called that way back at the beginning. TRY HARDER NEXT TIME SERA!

Ditch Sam, Dean. DITCH HIM.

I'd like to sum up this episode with one last thought: Sam is a manipulative little asshole

Lol, love your recap! Oh, Dean and your angst!

I really like Lisa--how she really likes Dean, really likes Dean as a role model for Ben, and how level-headed she is when confronted with possible supernatural threats. (Yay to no hysterics, just calm alertness.)

Sam's a jerk for making Dean grieve for a year. Why not say "hey, I'm back from Hell, and I'm headed back to Stanford?" Dean would get out of the hunting life, and with a lot less trauma.
