laurificus at 08:21pm on 10/10/2012 under dean winchester is my favourite!, sam's notice period, tv-supernaturalTo fend off mollyamory's accusations that I am a failure as a human being and/or in fannish decline...have a Supernatural post.
Fine, I admit it. It wasn't the soul-destroying ball of suck I was expecting. In fact...it was good.
Don't get me wrong. Sam is very much back on notice, and if it turns out he really just didn't look for Dean or help Kevin, I will be running in the other direction very fast. But I still don't believe Carver's doing that, and Sam was so obviously weird and not-Sam (and it was highlighted so strongly), that my not-believing has only increased. I did do a lot of :( :( :( when he was all, "I moved on! I got a life!), but that isn't Sam, anymore than Sam not helping Kevin is. And Amelia was really insistent and weird about making him take that dog, and there was a guy lurking outside his house. And all that aside...Carver! The guy who gave us Mystery Spot is not giving us this weird Sam reset.
More importantly, Dean! Dean was Dean again.mollyamory has suffered through a great deal of me being mean about him, but there he was! He was driven and interested and healthy enough to be honest that he was pissed off at Sam for not looking for him. Even the fact that he was pissed off pleases me. S7 Dean would just have been resigned to it. Like, of course Sam didn't look for him. Of course Sam would be better off not looking for him. Out of purgatory Dean wants to talk about their deep and abiding love. I have missed this Dean! And I am very intrigued by whatever's going on with him and Benny. I am not above shipping them if Sam turns out to be on notice permanently! (That is of course a huge lie, but I like to say it like it could be true.)
I dunno. It could all go horribly wrong, but I like that they have stuff to learn about each other again, and that there are issues to work on that aren't (far as I can tell) ending the world or killing a childhood friend in cold blood. And even the arc seems interesting. Far less eye-rolly and ridiculous than I thought it looked in the promos. Demons! Crowley! The gates of hell! I am onboard with all of this. And it's early, but already it feels like what's going on with Sam and Dean will tie into that better than the personal drama in S7 did with the season arc. Or at least, it feels like something is going on with them, beyond Dean being depressed and Sam having hell trauma.
And Sam bought him a burger, and Dean smiled at him, and Dean called him Sammy, and Dean, at least, is still codependent and overly invested in them. Sam, do not let me down! I AM SERIOUS!
In other news, I have 2 episodes of season 1 of Homeland left to watch, and on Friday, I was spoiled for what seems like a pretty important thing. I would have been very angry, but the prosecco I was drinking soothed me somewhat. But still! People! Why you gotta ruin everything?
I also got to go motorbike riding again. I think I mentioned I was over cars, yes?
In other other news, iTunes match has gone from duplicating my play counts to not showing them at all. I find that this is making me perfectly crazy. Nobody seems to understand how very serious this is.
