xparrotSPN 2x22 - short reaction: O.M.G. I LOVE MY SHOW.
Long reaction:
I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE MY SHOW!
In no order, because I am quite sick and feverish and not in any condition to be coherent:
Tears! Oh, Dean!
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG!!! BOTH OF THEM ALIVE HUG!!!!
Fan. Fucking. Fic. How can Eric Kripke be male? Seriously, now!
I love Bobby! I love Bobby so very very much and am so glad he survived and so worried he won't make it through next season. I love how much he loves our boys, I love that he's so much a better father to them than John ever was (sorry, John, you know I love you but you aren't gonna win any parent of the year award).![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gnine was wondering if one of the things Bobby conflicted with John over was about raising the boys? Would not be surprised. I also love Bobby's expression when Sam & Dean turn up both alive on his doorstep, so very 'Oh you did NOT just do that,' to Dean.
Ellen lives! <3333 I love Ellen so very much too! The boys have a Daddy and a Mommy again, after all this time, and they both kick ass!
I totally adored the giant RR devil's trap, I mean that's just so awesome. Goofy maybe but awesome.
John climbs out of hell! John might have been fighting demons in hell! A hunter in hell! And is he gone to heaven (or wherever good little hunters go, methinks Dean would prefer Valhalla) or elsewhere?
Ol' Yellow Eyes is gone! And Dean got to call him a son of a bitch before he went!
Sam is...let's worry about Sam later. (Ol' Yellow Eyes pointing that out to Dean, in Kripke's oh-so-adorably clunky dialogue, heee)
The final conversation, oh the final conversation, and Sam just asking "how long" and "you're my big brother" and oh oh ohhhhhhh....
I hope that all next season isn't demon hunting, this show wouldn't be served by going arc...maybe 50/50 demons and urban legends, would work for me? But whatever. I have faith!
So very much faith.
Oh, Dean. Oh, Sam. Oh, Kripke. Oh, Show! <3
It's good I have SPN. It washes out the taste of SV.
Okay, it's decided, I hate this show. SV has made me hate Lionel. Lionel! The once Magnificent Bastard himself! Now he's just...I don't know. Using people and not telling them and this is a good thing? How is manipulating Lana into doing his dangerous dirty work that much better than mind control?
I guess it makes somewhat sense, though. Jor-El seems pretty much an asshole; if Martian Manhunter was in his employ, reasonable that he wouldn't really care about Lionel's methods. Though then why Lex's methods are such a big deal - because his goal is the same as theirs, saving the damn planet. Why is Lionel's way so much more honorable? ...Dammit. They're making me hate the Martian Manhunter, even! Nooooo!
Someone else pointed this out - now Martha Kent has gained two elected positions while not actually being elected for either of them. Uh, power to the people?
Chloe warns Lois off going up against Lex, because you never win. Except, umm, when have Chloe & Clark lost? They've always achieved their objectives against Lex, with the exception of Chloe's one 'crimes against humanity' article that she couldn't have published anyway because she hadn't done the necessary fact-finding. They got Flash out, they got Tobias away safely, they got Moira out. They've never tried to get anyone else out. And if Chloe mentions "what he did to my mother" one more time I am gonna smack her one (hey, actions speak louder than words, and since I'm a chick it's not thuggish when I do it) - just what did Lex do to your mother? She'd be in a coma either way. Face it, guys, you want Lex to be this awesomely scary supervillain so you can be the superheroes who bring him down, but right now he's just a loser who can't even get away with a murder he didn't even do. (More's the pity.)
At least Lois is trying. Harder than Chloe has in a while, since Chloe now is content to sit back and let Clark save the world, and Clark is only interested in saving Lana. Finding out Clark's secret makes you a useless loser; maybe it's best Lex was never allowed into the cabal. As the only two outsiders left, Lois and Lex totally need to get together and really save the world. Except I think Lois's morals aren't as compromisable as every other char's (dammit, I still like Lois), so she'll never go for it now. If only she'd teamed up with Lex a couple seasons ago, she could've beaten the evol out of him before it got this bad.
Absolutely the saddest part of the ep: Lex's main-man minion died! Like that! Dead! *sob* Unnamed minion, you will be missed! I swear, that's the thing that hurt me worst. I was fic'ing him in my head. I might still fic him but now it will be tragic! *sobs again*
Lex running like that felt out of char, see "Fallout" when he steps in the path of danger...gnine argues that it was just common sense, especially since he might've been trying to draw the thing's attention away from the lab and the super soldiers...would explain why his containment methods were so very sub-par; he didn't really want it trapped there with his project. But the scene was totally filmed to show how much a coward Lex was, giving up the doctor instead of risking his own miserable hide, or am I just sensitive?
Lana is just. Okay. Here's the thing. Lana is a meteor freak. I will not see it otherwise. It's her terrible powers that turn Lex into such a desperately stupid, blind, thuggish asshole. (At least his office camera caught her opening the briefcase! Thank everything that was mentioned!) "Lana loves me" - ummm, dude. You had to fake a pregnancy to get her to tie the knot. Not love so much there. (The fake pregnancy is just such totally incomprehensible nonsense it deserves a rant of its own. I can't make sense of it.) Other than meteor powers I cannot see how she could have him wrapped around her little finger, and so easily frame him for murder, and argh argh ARRRRGH. I couldn't even enjoy the much-anticipated slap because it was thuggish and out of line and pathetic. When you gotta smack the bitch because you can't get her back with a few choice words (such as, "Yeah, love, who was going to leave who at the altar, hamster-face?") , that's just sad.
Still, gotta love Lana's "He hit me!" to Lionel and Lionel being all "OH MY GAWD HOW AWFUL! My son who I have been backhanding since he was knee-high to a shoot of corn HIT you? That monster!"
If Lex is going to be the villain, then let him be A COMPETENT VILLAIN. Not this stupid evol loser.
This stupid evol loser who saved a couple peoples' lives in the opening scene. Yeah, show. I didn't forget. Unless Lex went and had his private SWAT team shoot the girl and priest just to prove how EVOL he is, which I wouldn't put past him.
...So very much hate.
There's gotta be something good - oh. Yes. Bizarro Clark is pretty. Just hope that face-fracturing is a temporary effect. And the fight was cool. Please let him survive and please let him ally with Lex and plot ways to take Clark prisoner and have their wicked way with him. Mass orgies with the silver-short gang!
Please? I don't know how I can bear to tune in otherwise...

Date: 2007-05-20 05:31 am (UTC)Gotta head to work soon so can't respond properly, but just thought I'd pop in to say- I thought Lex looked pretty damn genuine when he told Lana he didn't have any idea about the pregnancy thing, so I'ce decided to take it as read that in an interesting plot twist he never actually did that at all. I'm going with the thought that it was really Lionel as part of his 'Lana must marry Lex' plan. It makes Lionel semi-MB standard again.
Sorry, must dash!
