OMG show!

[heidi]

So last night I went to Toloache with laughingirl and jlh and had amazing food and dessert and three margaritas and then the restaurant treated each of us to a shot of tequila so i didn't get home till after ten and missed Show airing live but was totally okay with that because I knew by the time I woke up i'd be able to get it from iTunes sans ads so

I really loved it. To me, it hung together as a stepping stone to bring the boys back together and do amazing things and save people and hunt things and save the world and maybe play a little golf (and I'm just giggling that I requested "unexpected sports including golf or ultimate frisbee" as an spn_j2_xmas prompt!).

I got so weepy when Grampa Sam showed up even though i was spoiled for him being there, because it was just so wonderfully done (and I love that Show didn't spell out that there is a possibility that they were both back because of the same name). And I loved the golf clubs being Useful and I didn't feel like either of them was wrongly OOC- I had been so nervous about the one year gap but it really is working for me. I didn't get the feeling that Dean hadn't talked to Bobby at all, just no long conversations or visits.

And I didn't get the feeling that Dean was really uber-joyously-happy with his life with Lisa. They act "together" but not like they're besotted with each other. I love the montage showing the contrasts but his drinking makes it clear that he's not happily settled; he's staying to keep them safe, not because he loves Lisa more than he loves sam.

This set the stage really well for me, and I cant wait to watch the rest of the season. Pretty unspoiled- except for ep titles - from here on out!

I kind of hated it.

I skipped a bunch of episodes in seasons 4 and 5 so I am wondering if that is why, but Dean just seemed super OOC. In the second to last episode of S5, he was not happy with the idea of settling down. I could see him doing it because Sam told him to, but the minute Sam came back, he would jump with joy and ditch the domestic life.

I also really did not want to see "one year later." I wanted to see what happened right after Sam stopped by the window and that light started flashing...

Sorry to be butting in, but did you happen to skip 5.12? That was the big one for revealing that Dean was wanting some picket fence action. :)

I did skip 5.12 so that might be part of why it feels so OOC to me. However part me just sees someone as Dean who would never want that. Maybe I will watch it and be convinced.

Good luck, young Jedi. *grin*

I loved it on first watch, but the more I think about it, the more I love it MORE! *throws confetti*

Hmmmm. I don't think I liked it as much as you did, BUT it left enough open that it may redeem itself. Still, I am intrigued! I will keep watching! Hurray!
