I'm about halfway through, and I don't hate it, or the actors. Still, wishing this was more of an outsiders pov than we're getting. Blink managed to be a satisfactory (more than!) episode while not advancing the season arc or characters in any way (that I can recall), but I also think that the Doctor had more of presence throughout via the video.

Man, I would flove a proper outsider-pov ep. As opposed to the totally random "they're totally doing each other!" observation that had no context.

the totally random "they're totally doing each other!" observation that had no context.

The first one was unmitigated Sterek-level no subtext. The second one I can totally dig, even though we didn't get to hear the conversation. But it makes way more sense.

I think if I hadn't seen Chronicle I might have liked this better

You know, I agree. I really liked Chronicle. Which does make me surprised I like this one as much as I do, because it was the poor man's (or the CW's) version for sure. But I liked the chick, kinda liked the first werewolf as the arc required, and hated Piggy (seriously--do kids still make Lord of the Flies ref--well, I guess it was written long before I was in school too, so...) just as I was supposed to.

And I felt Heart just standing in the background the whole time.

It was weird that there was no reference to what happened in Heart, right? Especially with Dean saying he never killed a pureblood (whatever pureblood means, I have completely lost track of SPN werewolf mythology if I ever had it).

The lecture the first bitten kid was sleeping through was about Lord of the Flies, so those references weren't completely out of the blue. I felt like I was supposed to sympathize with Piggy more than I did, and that I didn't was a problem. Perhaps I can shift my thinking on that. Because I just like liking things

I felt like I was supposed to sympathize with Piggy more

Really? Well, I missed the boat on that. I figured that he was supposed to be the beta who's beta for a reason.

Oh, hello circularity of sleeping through...

For anyone who is hanging around the house this weekend, TNT will be showing a 24-hour SPN marathon this weekend, beginning at noon on Saturday.

Also, for those who have Comcast On Demand, they will now be playing new episodes of Show instead of just the reruns from TNT (as well as episodes of Arrow and Vampire Diaries).

I'm not getting the complaints that I read about subpar acting for the three guest stars.

I'm also not astute enough to notice whether or not camera footage was realistically obtained. But nothing jumped out at me. Scenes where both cameras were seen were, as far as I can tell, were spliced from both cameras, and sometimes there was a third hidden camera courtesy of Piggy.

Funny about Dean and Awesome, as I was just reading a fic where he seemed to say "cool" way too much (which reminds me of my older brother, who reminds me a bit of Dean, and not just because he steals shit and drinks too much and charms his way out of trouble).

(Fic aside: there's a DCBB that warns for major character death that is a total lie. I didn't notice it ar first because I was reading on my iPhone. So I ended up skimming the ultimately fluffy ending in total fear once I did notice the warning on my laptop).

Thanks, Morgana! I'll be setting my DVR accordingly.

I might have sympathy for someone who's upset about being overshadowed by a sibling in their family dynamic, but by a roommate that they chose to live with? Oh hell no. You feel you're in the shade, step over to a patch of sunlight in another apartment.

Matt, I'm with you. I liked the actual apartment more than the kids living in it.

In theory, I totally want an apartment with French doors. But not with roommates.
