I gotta say... so far I am really really REALLY liking season 3. I suppose it's because I've got a soft spot for the funny episodes, and
Bad Day At Black Rock was SO - FREAKING - BRILLIANT! I now have all the funny bits doing laps around my brain.
Sam: "I lost my shoe."
*
über-poutface* :guffaw:
Dean: "I'm amazing! I'm
Batman!" :lol:
Sam: "Yeah... you're Batman."
Dean: "See, I happen to able to read people. Ok, you're a thief, fine, but you're not -"
*
BANG*
Dean: "Son of a -!"
Bela: "Thanks very much. I'm out one and a half million, and on the bad side of a very powerful, fairly psychotic buyer."
Dean: "Wow... I
really don't feel bad about that. Sam?"
Sam: "Nope. Not even a little." *
smirk* :lol::lol::lol:
I'm not liking Bela. Mostly, I think it's due to the fact that the accent is atrocious. I know, I know, she was born in the U.S. & moved to the U.K. sometime during her childhood... but there's still something about the accent that seems VERY forced, very over-enunciated. I watch a LOT of Doctor Who, and while DW clearly isn't an exhaustive sampling of all U.K. dialects, I've come to appreciate what a lot of them sound like when authentically spoken... and she just doesn't sound entirely authentic. Also, her demeanor comes across more as "smug douche" rather than "charmingly cheeky".
Oh, we met Ruby too. My friend keeps saying "I like her! She's a demon, but I like her!" *
hangs head* I keep having to bite my tongue because I keep thinking "Yeah, you like her NOW... but you're gonna wanna throttle her later."
Anyway, uh... oh yeah,
The Kids Are Alright. Really loved Dean's not-son. Awesome little guy. Now I know who y'all are talking about when you mention Ben. I also think the main Changeling girl was entirely decent for a "creepy kid". I had my stomach in knots when the mother tried to drown her not-daughter just to find not-daughter dripping and totally calm back in the kitchen.
The whole "Dean bonds with a demon" episode was also pretty good. They developed a soft spot for each other by the end, d'aaaaw! One question - what was with Bobby allowing Ruby to help him change The Colt into a demon-killing gun? With VERY little persuasion on her part, might I add. So she let him shoot her, big deal. Her knowledge that The Colt wouldn't kill her doesn't make her ally, it makes her suspicious, and it's not like the body she's possessing means anything to her. She's just another well-informed demon who doesn't care about the human it possesses. Seemed OOC for Bobby to trust her, especially since he told Dean in the end "Demons lie, I'm sure Sam's OK".
Unless... he was covering up the fact that he trusted Ruby NOT to lie and is afraid that Dean's demon also wasn't lying. Ruh roh.
