Sorry I'm late to the game, peeps. I had some computer problems and
then decided that I'd try my hand at recapping an episode and damn that
takes a long fucking time. lol.

Ah well, no one has posted in my absence anyway. What up wit dat?
Where's my bitches? I don't see any stupendous yappin goin' on and I
gather that Ronni is once again throwing me over for TWoP. Harrumph.

Ok, I'd better get to talking supernatural. Only not much to say
tonight because it's much later than I realized and I have to get up
early in the morn. I liked the show overall I suppose. I threw in
some comments during the recap so I think you can tell where I had some
problems with it.

Loved loved loved the stuff at the end. I knew Meg couldn't be dead
and was a bit disappointed in all of them for buying that so easily.
Especially since this demon is supposed to be so bad-assed. They
should assume that the peeps it has working for it wouldn't be so
easily taken out of the game. Of course, if they assumed she was like
Sue Ann in Faith, and that once the hold Meg had over the daevas was
broken I guess I could buy them thinking that she simply met the same
fate as her. That doesn't excuse John from not being more suspicious
of how easy Meg was "killed". Oh well. I will say that while I knew
it wasn't over, I was not expecting it when John was thrown across the
room. That was a great psyche out, with the calm family interaction
and then them all suddenly getting their sweet little asses kicked all
over the room. I still don't quite get the flare thing. I get that
the light from the flare was to wash out the shadows but Meg said that
the daevas were real and that the shadows were just all that you could
see. So, why would they be neutralized and unable to attack anymore?
Unless, they need their shadows in order to function in this dimension.
Like the only way they can attack is through their shadow attacking
the target's shadow which then inflicts harm on their physical bodies.
Ok, I'll go with that. lol.

Going back to the middle of the ep, my poor wittle Dean:( Actually
telling Sammy what he wanted. Only to have Sammy punch him in the gut
and say that he doesn't want the same thing. As I said in the recap (I
think. lol), I understand that Sam has his own life and that Dean does
indeed need to let Sam live it the way he wants but I just felt so bad
for Dean, knowing that he feels like hunting is all he's ever going to
have. It doesn't have to be that way. Although, you have to wonder
just how normal of a life does Sam really think he can have considering
his telepathetic powers. lol. I call them telepathetic because we've
seen hide nor hair of them since Nightmare. Hell, we haven't even had
a mention of them and you'd think that this episode might bring that up
at some point. I mean, Sam's spidey sense was all tingly because of
Max and his connection to the demon, right? So if Meg is connected to
the demon you'd think that Sam would have sensed/dreamt something. Or
at least wondered aloud why he wasn't sensing/"seeing" anything if Meg
was indeed connected to the demon in some way. I know that she's not
like Max but still, you'd think that he'd at least contemplate why he's
not experiencing any psychic feelings or dreams or anything with them
being so close to the demon, or so close to someone connected to the
demon. Instead, they continue to not acknowledge his "abilities" at
all. So, telepathetic is what I'll continue to call Sam's so-called
"specialness".

I suppose you could say that his wariness about Meg could be demon
sense tingling but it was portrayed more as a common sense deduction at
the improbability of their meeting again in such a way. I would like
to at least have had a mention of his past psychic abilities somewhere
along the line, and since they were once again dealing with something
connected to the demon that killed their mom, this would have been as
good a time as any.

Ok, that's it for now. I hope to see some of ya soon....

Hey Lo,
 
Not much to say my ass!  lmao.  You said plenty.  I was wondering where you were at.  (oh, by the by, you have a few typos in your recap.  Don't shoot the messenger.  It's said with love;) 
 
I liked this outing pretty much.  The guys in their uniforms.  I have to say that they looked pretty "home made" to me, too.  My favorite part was the last fifteen or so minutes.  The family reunion was pretty sweet. 
 
I want to say more but I have to get to the rest of my emails and head out.

Hey now. 
 
I wasn't really throwin' ya over.  I've been reading over at TWOP but not really posting much until today.  I wasn't sure how I felt about the ep.  It had it's moments but I also had some complaints.  I still think Meg sucks.  I like the idea or her but the actress is stinky.  I really hate that we're going to be seeing her again.  Not to mention that she's supposed to be crafty demony enough to outwit all three Winchesters.  WTFever. 
 
Oh, great recap, typos and all.  lol

Hello. I loved this eppy. It had the humor, the angst, the family reunion, the boys beaten and battered....loved it all. Was very happy seeing daddy Win. He was so "dean" like, with his little joke asking the boys if meg was the bad guy and then him saying that he was "working on it" in relation to how he was going to kill the big bad. Once again, John conveyed a myriad of emotions and characteristics with limited screen time. I think I'm really going to like him.

Oh, sweet dribbling jesus did I have typos. Note to
self.....spellcheck is my friend. Of course, even spellcheck wouldn't
have helped my using "buy" instead of "by". Oy!!!
Then there's all of the "DEan"s. I kept doing that, and hitting the
"e" before I released the caps but I thought I caught many more of them
than I actually did. Sheesh.

Well, sorry peeps. I'll be more careful if I ever decide to recap any
other episodes.

Glad to read that some of you are coming out of the woodwork:)

Hey Ronni,

I took a gander at TWoP and didn't see ya the other day so I was
wondering where you'd been. You usually post a lot over there. I
think you can tell where I stood on the show, by the recap. I don't
like Meg either. I really wish they'd cast someone else. Oh well.
Can't always get what ya want.

didn't Dean look as yummy as evuh?! Didn't ya just wanna hug the poor
little guy?

Hey Mary Jane,

The show did have all the elements but I guess I just want them to show
Dean as a little more capable. They seem to give Sam the whole package
but Dean comes off as a goof too much of the time. So that took away
from my enjoyment.

Glad to read ya!

I think I see where you're coming from but I like Dean the way he is. I s'pose they could give him a little edge in some area or another, tho. I think I'm just glad to look at him (and Sam) every week. ha.

I wanted to hug them both. Poor Sam holding back until he saw how dad reacted to him and then when they had to let him go at the end. Heartbreaking for both boys. I want to be in a Sam and Dean sandwich, just huggin' away.

Exactly!  Give him an edge at SOMETHING.  As it stands, Sam seems to excel at everyfuckingthing.  Plus, he has the telepathetic (I love it Lola! and I'm going to steal it and use it at TWOP) powers to boot.  It's all way too lopsided for my taste.

Hey lo!
 
I guess I went back into the wood work and missed you. 
 
As for the typos, just don't let it happen again;)

Hey MJ!
 
I have problems with the show but, yeah, Dean/Jensen usually makes up for it.  Sam's a cutie but too young for me;)

Ronni girl!
 
I don't have THAT big of a problem with it but I do see things leaning that way more and more.  I just hope they rein it in in future episodes because I can definitely see the potential of them ruining this character for me. 
 
Well, as much as they can anyway.  The eye candy factor is strong;)  So I don't see me really tuning out any time soon even if they do irk me with how they're writing him.  I'll just be yappin' at my tv a lot more.

I think I'd prefer a Dean and Dad sandwich but that's kind of icky
sounding so I'll say a Jensen/John sandwich. That is the guy that
plays daddy Winchester's name, isn't it? lol. As the person who
started this group I really should know these things, shouldn't I? lol

Ah. lol. Nope, no crack. I'm shooting up an 8 ball for my high
tonight;) And following it with a shot of tequila. lol

I don't know what I was thinking there. John is his name on the show
and I knew that but for some reason I was thinking it was also his real
name. But, I guess the name that I was thinking of, that was also on
the show, is his middle name, "Dean".

How cute is it that all the actors first names start with "J"? And how
cute was it that John is a smartass like Dean? I think they did a
really good casting job there.

I must confess that the Jensen eye candy is why I checked the show out
to begin with, so it'll probably keep me watching for the long haul.
Well, not just the eye candy alone. Jensen really brings a nice depth
to the role that is very compelling to watch. I do like the brotherly
stuff and I'm sure I'll like the whole family dynamic when/if we get
some episodes of them all together but Jensen is the man on this show
as far as I'm concerned.

I hope they don't make too much of the central arc around Sam. I hope
that Dean plays just as important of a role in it all. Which, it sounds
like maybe he will, with John's "we'll all play a part" at the end of
Shadow. I really think Jeffrey did an amazing job with what little
time he was on screen. The reunion was very touching.

Lo~
