That may or may not have been the lamest episode of Supernatural yet. No wait - it was. Of *course* it has to be the one Sara watches with me (it's SO much better than that most of the time, I swear to you!) because that's just perfect. My thoughts, in brief...

I hate that they took this week's hot chick and tried to make us actually believe that Dean loved her. LOVE. Yes, the big L word. Because they had about as much chemistry as a rock and a stick. Honestly. Jensen was trying, he really was, but it just didn't work. For one, it was far too rushed and shoved in our faces, and for another that girl could NOT act. Just like every other one (except for Amy Acker and Julie Benz, of course. Jossverse represent! :P) and so to try to make her be that important to Dean felt demeaning. I hoped they would have made an effort to find a better actress for a role that important, but then again I was relieved to see she clearly wasnt star material, so she probably wasn't going to do something disastrous like decide to join them. OH GOD I WOULD HAVE THROWN SOMETHING. When I brought this up, Sara said "Well, she could die." and I sort of lit up happily - "I didn't think of that!" Sara proceeded to look at me with amused disbelief. Yes, I am that callous. About things that threaten to mess up the Winchester-love that's basically why I watch the show. So, she didn't die, but she didn't come with them either. All I can say is - PHEW!

A truck??? LAME. LAAAAME. They tried to make it all historically resonant and shit with the racist stuff, but for one the part where the guy was beating up Martin, and then Martin killed the guy, was absolutely lacking in any oomph at all. You could tell the blows weren't real. For another, A GHOST TRUCK. I just can't take that seriously. Especially since it looked like a Hummer and was supposedly from the 60s. Usually this show scares me, to the point of whimpering pathetically for the safety of our boys, but this time it was just.... so when are they going to defeat it already? come onnnn.

The sex scene was appalling. I had to mute it the music was so bad. POOR JENSEN. Well, he probably didn't mind all too much (she WAS pretty) but still - so demeaning!

On the plus side...

Sam is love. SO cute. The quintessential little brother throughout the whole episode, and in the adorable way. AW I LOVE HIM. And there was still the love between Dean and Sam, so apparent, all the time, thanks to Jensen and Jared's ridiculous amount of chemistry. So even amid this train wreck of an episode, that stayed intact.

THE PREVIEW YAY. Finally into some juicy stuff with Sam's psychic abilities! AND Dean in danger AGAIN, which means ANGST, and probably touching. Um, yes. I have high hopes for this one! (I really did not have high hopes for Route 666. The previews looked godawful. A truck?????)

ETA: Best part of the episode: Dean and Sam discussing something, and walking in perfect sync. Legs, arms, all swinging perfectly in time with each other. They gesture with their hands and then just go back to the sync. They dont even notice. I LOVE IT. I have no idea what they were talking about, I was just watching them walk :D


Oh Supernatural. Find your stride, please!

I'm using this icon simply because it kills me with hotness. Guh.

ETA again: I totally forgot! Gilmore Girls was GREAT! I missed the first 10 minutes, but the last 5 minutes? SO GREAT. The style was just so refreshing and new and I absolutely loved it. And I even liked Logan in this ep! Yay. Not enough Luke, IMO, but I'm hoping the show is finding its groove again :)
