 Dear Pennsylvania DMV:

Presidents Day barely warrants a three-day weekend. It certainly doesn't warrant a four day weekend. 

I got out of bed early on my birthday, made myself pretty, used up the last of that $12 hair gel that works miracles on my frizz (I've been hoarding it for the past two years, DMV) all in the name of looking pretty on my new license photo. 

But no, you're closed. For Presidents Day. Which is like, the lamest holiday ever. 

Just sayin'. 



You know what? I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. It was alright. I had alot of questions throughout it though.

Dean was so completely devastated when Sammeh was out. My little H/C junkie self was all "HAIR BRUSHING! VOICE CRACKING! HE CALLED HIM SAMMEH!" Its....its not gonna be pretty when this happens for real, kids. 

Which begs me to ask...do you think Show will go there? I mean, we already peeked our heads in there, but in the grand scheme of Winchester H/C, this was a blip on the radar. It sucked, but like Dean said, Sam was really only down for 2-3 minutes. And when he woke up, he was fine. Well, probably not really, but Sam and Dean are playing in Denial Land for now, and Sam worked a case by himself, and that's pretty par the course for a Winchester definition of fine. So. Was that it? Sam poked the wall, it cracked, it sucked, but its okay. He learned his lesson and he'll never do it again and we can drive off into the sunset with rainbows and kitties and peanut M&Ms. 

I'm also slightly bothered that no one is looking for a more permanent solution. Maybe there isn't one? I'm kinda hoping for that to be the case, honestly, because if someone pops in five episodes from now and is all "Wall? Psh. That's stupid. Do THIS." and snaps their fingers and fixes Sam's issues...I'm gonna throw half-a-dozen irate "Really?"s at my TV. 

But the fact that no one is even looking, that everyone is just kinda like, "it is what it is"  *shrug* just kinda...rubs me the wrong way? Idk. 

Dean's line "You shove it down and you let it come out in spurts of violence and alcoholism" didn't make me laugh, actually. I was pretty ambivalent about it for awhile, but I'm really starting to wish Show would deal with Dean's drinking. They have him acknowledging it now, so that's good, that's a step. Sam looks so sad when he says it too. DEEEEEEEEEN. 

Also? Did Dean score Sam some less-than-legal prescriptions? I might be a little screwed in the head, but that made me go "aww."

Katrina and I were thinking of Doctor Who's autons the entire episode. 

I'm also in agreement with [livejournal.com profile] thinlizzy2 about the prank thing. I know people can be cruel, but it just seemed exceptionally immature. I have the same problem with "After School Special" actually, and don't get me wrong, "After School Special" is one of my faves, but the over-the-top cruelty of the kids in that school just bugs me. I was not a "cool" kid in high school by any means, but no one was ever that incredibly mean to me. And I don't remember anyone ever being that terrible to anyone else either. Whatever. Moving on. 

Johnny bears a striking resemblance to a more cracked out Marc-Andre Fleury (aka: My Sweet Baboo) and I couldn't unsee it for the rest of the episode.

I've never really been a huge Lisa/Dean shipper, but when they both told Ben to go to his room in unison, I squeed and decided they need to continue to be some semi-fucked up family. 

(I thought their montage was corny though. I'm sorry.)

REAL DOLL. LULZ.

The kidney thing was interesting, but I was hella-confused at the end there. Did the sister stab herself? Did the ghost like...destroy her own kidney? WHAT. THE. FUCK. 

But uh...was I the only one who snorted really hard when Dean was standing in front of the Impala and said, "She possesses sex dolls. This is not a sex doll!" 

I mean...Dean...you know what? Never mind. I also thought it was amazing and hilarious and brilliant that even while he was running away from her, every other word out of Dean's mouth was "baby." 

Sure, Dean. Not a sex doll. Not at all. 

In conclusion: Sam has a wrinkly forehead when he's being all thoughtful and shit and I love when Dean rocks plaid button-downs over band shirts. I DO THAT, DEAN! I DO THAT TOO!

"Which begs me to ask...do you think Show will go there?"
If this were still the same show as written in seasons 1-5, I would say absolutely yes. But as we've already seen them pick up and drop a number of plots this season and they're apparently not very interested in the remaining stories... I just don't know. Maybe we'll see it crumble, maybe they'll just have Sam deliver a speech about how he's never going to poke the wall again.

"But the fact that no one is even looking, that everyone is just kinda like, "it is what it is" *shrug* just kinda...rubs me the wrong way? Idk."
This seems to fall in line with their attitudes since their problems got too big for them to handle (ie God, Lucifer, Death, the mysterious War in Heaven, etc.) I'd like to see the sort of effort Sam put into saving Dean from hell in S3, but the boys seem a lot more defeated these days when it comes to big problems. And really, who can blame them?

"I'm also in agreement with thinlizzy2 about the prank thing. I know people can be cruel, but it just seemed exceptionally immature."
Yeah, there's just no way. Honestly show -- children do not give adults lectures about Life Lessons and adults do not waste their time pulling cruel, childish "pranks."

THANK YOU!

And thank you, RG, for agreeing here. This just seemed so impossible that it totally took me out of the moment. I just felt like someone on the show wanted to do "possessed mannequins" and didn't think at all about how to set it up in a believable way.

Seriously! And even Rose herself...I mean, I can see being desperate and really wanting to hope that the whole secret admirer thing was for real...but she would have to have zero common sense whatsoever to just show up at an address to meet some mystery admirer. I mean, that's like the beginning of several Lifetime movie plots and they never end well. C'MON SHOW.

Amen, girl. Amen.

Add to that the idea that Rose was so lonely she would take such a risk. Maybe it was a casting mistake, but the actress they picked to play her was Hollywood ugly - damn cute by RL standards. WAY out of the league of the guys that were picking on her. It's totally plausible a girl who looks like that might be single, but it would definitely be by choice.

LOL - I think this whole implausible prank thing has upset me more than anything else on the show this season! Am I missing the point or what?

Nah. Poorly executed details are distracting! I can barely sit through the end of Zombieland because having been a ride operator at an amusement park for the past six summers, I know how alot of those rides work and that's not how they work, dammit.

Dude. This was exactly what I was thinking during 6.14. I feel as though if this storyline had come about before S4, it would have been a huge focus of the story, that no one, Dean, Sam, even Bobby, would find the "cross-your-fingers-and-wait-for-the-inevitable" approach even remotely acceptable.

The boys are so damaged. It's true. I don't blame them either.
