What is it you dislike? The women/witches thing?
After time to think (because on first watch, I'm always simply squeeing that there are BOYS! on my TV!), I don't think this was a really strong episode, but I didn't dislike it. And there were a few things I liked very much.
Not the least of which was Ruby calling Dean "short bus". Heh.
What is it you dislike? The women/witches thing?
That was part of it, yes. I also thought it was unnecessarily gross, and the editing was sloppy in a few parts. I like Ruby a lot more when she is not sympathetic. I thought Dean talking time out from being pinned to the wall to leer at the lesbisdemons was a cheap cliche.
Most of all I am just not sure I like where the story line is going, especially since we won't be getting a full season for it to develop.
that made me snort. especially when he didn't have a comeback.
Oh, and for an episode that was supposed to explore Ruby's backstory - we really should have seen more of Ruby, no?
I like the idea of Ruby being sympathetic, but I don't know if I believe her. She could be playing both of them.
I don't know where the storyline is going anymore. I had my own ideas at the start of the season, mostly about where it *should* go, but now who knows? And that's the shame of it, because certain things got set up pre-strike that they're going to have to either wank or shorthand or just ignore.
I think the thing that least impresses me is this idea of a huge *war*. And powerful LesbiDemon is hanging out with wanna blessed-bes whose main objective is lower mortgage rates and craft contest wins? I don't get it.
I also think it's worth noting that apparently Sam isn't looking for a way to save Dean anymore.
... okay, then!
I think he's just humoring Dean, and not talking about what he's doing. But that could just be my personal fanon on it.
It occurs to me that Sam does have a way to get Dean out of hell once he's dead, but it would involve letting who knows how many demons and other spirits out of the gate.
Amy - I am thinking the same thing. He's obviously not going to talk to Dean about it.
So, I had this whole thing about Hell being like a blasting furnace that burns the evil away - byproduct: Demon. But then the good is also concentrated and possibly just as dangerous. And Kripke clearly doesn't want to go in that direction.
