SPN: "Long Distance Call"

[aislinn_veedor]

Hmmmmmm...



Oh Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, where to start?

He kind of pissed me off this episode. I felt all of Sam's frustrations when it comes to Dean and his blind faith in John. It was Season 1 Dean all over again.

Dad says jump, he says how high?

And Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam. He gets KIDNAPPED AGAIN *face palm*

See, why the hell couldn't they stay on the potential victims and look for patterns? My first thought wouldn't have been 'what if it's really them' but 'what creature is mimicking them'. How have these boys survived as hunters this long? Seriously? And the fate of the world is in their hands? *head desk*

BUT, at least Sam managed to save himself this time while Dean ran around like a moron. Bad things happen when they split up. Don't go anywhere without the other; they should be latched together with those baby leashes.

And man didn't it hurt when that ch-thingy set up Dean and that other guy.

Things I did like though:

*Stewie and his porn, and crossing his legs.

*Dean's admitted subscription to bustyasianbeauties.com

*Calling Sam his "partner" (even though it was meant in a work related way)

*The end conversation

Dean admitting he's scared, and desperate, willing to believe anything, actually apologizing to Sam, and then getting ornery when Sam ruined their moment ^.^ Not a WORD about chick flick moments, just that the moment was gone when all Sam said to him was "Me too."

I was kind of expecting more from this episode. Hopefully the next two, since they're the LAST TWO EPISODES of the season, will be as good as previous seasons. But since this is season 3, and the season has been seriously lackluster I don't think anything will top the previous seaons, especially the heart stopping finale that was "Devil's Trap"

Prove me wrong Eric! Prove. Me. Wrong!

I am looking forward to Seaon 4 though, so hard.

I know what you mean about not feeling the 'wow' factor yet. By this time last season I was whipped up into a frenzy of 'omfg what is going to happen NAO???' I wonder if the writers have just kind of (heh, no pun intended) written this season off.

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

I blame the CW. They tried to push a lot of interference on the show since S3 started. At least that's what I'm getting in interviews. And Kripke said they did a lot of things that ended up not working.

This is defintiely SPN's train wreck season. There is much hope and sayings that next season will get back to what works: brotherly interaction. I'm hoping for the S1/2 feel again after this.

I felt the wow factor tonight, but maybe that's because this is the first episode I've seen live on TV since before the hiatus, thanks to Chicago's baseball scheduling.

It wasn't the best episode in the history of the world, true, but I just felt SO BAD for the boys here. Dean was being daddy's little soldier again because he is alllllways going to be trying to measure up to daddy. *sighs for Dean* And poor Sam, having to try to deal with that, when dealing with it means shooting down what is the only hope his brother currently has.

I am VERY MUCH looking forward to the last two episodes. I'm scared of the next one already 0__o. But does Kripke NOT REMEMBER that he PROMISED us a body!swap episode in S3? HMMM? WE'RE WAITING FOR IT.

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

Possiibly. I liked "Ghostfacers" more than I liked this episode. It felt like square one all over again. Absolutely nothing has happened this season.

See, I didn't stop wanting to strangle Dean until the last scene with Sam. I can understand where he was coming from, but just the way they all went about it... @_@

HE PROMISED BODYSWAP?! I WANTS IT!

If it happens it'll probably be Season 4, that would be a kick ass one.

And once again, my channels aren't playing next week's promos :(

[xtinethepirate.livejournal.com]

Have you looked on cwtv.com for the promo? That's where I usually get it, since the WGN doesn't always play them either. Neither does CityTV sometimes. It may not be up tonight, but if you go to Supernatural on the site, it should play the promo for you.

I think I was in full-on squee mode. I mean, the episode didn't leave me breathless like some other ones in previous seasons have, but I am very into woobie!Dean. In that respect, I was satisfied, hehehe.

and OMG GHOSTFACERS. I loved it. alkhlakhddaklhgalkdhg. The boys have never cussed so much. *draws hearts*

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

I got this episodes promo from the site yesterday I think. I saw the promo pics on supernatural.tv though, but they're not much to go on.

Ahhh woobieness.

:D Swearing is awesome. Full on win for that, Sam's "Holy s@#$", and Dean's "f@#$ me":)

[xtinethepirate.livejournal.com]

I think anyone who ever wrote Dean saying "fuck" in a fic has hereby been vindicated. I just remember reading a post from someone whining about the use of fuck in SPN fic, because "Dean NEVER REALLY SAYS THAT". I b'leeve the words I'm looking for are "oh SNAP."

I miss the YED, though. Your icon has brought that back once more...

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

lol, why wouldn't he say "fuck"? He's a man, a hunter, almost 30, and he kicks ass for a living. And trying to make "Dean NEVER REALLY SAYS THAT" an argument? It's CW tv, not an r-rated movie, they can't say 'fuck' on air, but it doesn't mean the boys don't. Bwahahaha! We win.

I miss Azazy soooooo much. Lilith will never be as cool, unless she re-posesses Azazel's shed janitor corpse ^.^

Two episodes and he completely knocked it out of the park didn't he? *sighs*

[xtinethepirate.livejournal.com]

He really, really did. I loved how he picked up on the same sort of mannerisms that JDM used when he was Azazy. You could TELL it was the same demon. And he was sooooo much evil awesome. *woeface*

BRING BACK THE YED. BRING HIM BACK, KRIPKEEEEEE!!!

But since this is season 3, and the season has been seriously lackluster I don't think anything will top the previous seaons, especially the heart stopping finale that was "Devil's Trap"

AGREED, you just don't beat "devil's trap," which was followed up with "in my time of dying." YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT IT. "all hell breaks loose" came close, but, those two totally owned. and i think that was emotional content that will never come back to the show - how the fans felt about dad, and the moment we lost him - i can't imagine that being outdone.

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, both DT and ImtoD punched you in the face and laughed. They were awesome. Don't know what could top that. My mouth hung open at the end of both those episodes.

[standing.livejournal.com]

i distinctly remember screaming, fist pounding, etc.

i think the last time i even felt a shimmer of that was the christmas ep, when we found out that the amulet dean's always worn was given to him by sam

OMG @*$@% even thinking about that makes me nuts inside. that was so good.

ALSO this season, they slammed the door on all those awesome "i fought the law" episodes. why why why! and why did they kill henrickson, who didn't love that guy? he had no family and was a toughass workhorse .. i wanted him to turn into a hunter.

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

lol, I was spoiled like a month in advance for Dean's amulet ^.^

I agree about Henrickson. it would have been SO GOOD to have someone in the FBI on their side. Give them a really good ally. And even if he quit and went into hunting that would have been beyond awesome. He should have lived dammit!

I actually really loved last night's episode. In fact, I've loved this this whole season actually - minus the first six episodes or so.

For me it didn't really start taking off until Fresh Blood haha, after sam took out Gordon WITH BARDBED WIRE (WTF AWESOME) I was sold and since then they've pretty much all been awesome for me (dream a little dream HOLY SHIT).

And I'm pumped for the last two episodes :D that doctor looked bad ass and from the summaries I've read of said last two episodes they're going to kick ass.

[aislinn-tredor.livejournal.com]

I'm glad this ep and the majority of the season has been working for you:)

Barbed wire was awesomesauce.

2 MORE WEEKS! I wants teh shivers!
