maychorianARGH FRUSTRATION.
So I went to the store to get a digital converter box for the first time because I thought, "Hey, I would like to actually watch the new boys on my lovely screen instead of always waiting and downloading." But there weren't any.
And then it took for-freaking-ever to get a download.
And then that didn't work and I had to try again.
And then the episode was...not compelling.
My computer shut off randomly in the middle, as it sometimes does, and instead of waiting with bated breath for the darn thing to restart and then frantically clicking until the episode was back up and scrolling quickly to where I was...
I...took a break. I've never done that before. D: Well, not since my first viewing of Season 1, anyway.
So yeah. At the beginning I was all YAY MOAR HAUNTINGZ, because I was wondering if we would ever see any more semi-routine ghostiness like I sometimes miss. And aw, Dean, working non-stop for a month, and Sam just trying to keep up and do what Dean wanted, and I knew already that Dean was somehow trying to make up, in his own mind, for what he did in Hell. ::sniff:: Poor baby.
But then...seriously, another creepy little girl? This is getting tired, yo.
I liked the family. I didn't want any of them to die, not even Uncle Ted, because they'd obviously been through some rough stuff and I suspected that Andy was a son who had died. Love that the Winchesters are back to helping other families. But I got SEKRET INCEST BABY vibes from the second that it became obvious that she wasn't a ghost. So yeah, not so much with the mystery there. I is sad.
And it was so dark in the last section I had a hard time telling what was going on, and the editing seemed really choppy, and I just wasn't feeling the tension. I is sad again.
And they seem to have dropped the drinking thing without really dealing with it, which...c'mon, guys. Lame.
But! Things I liked, in no particular order:
Sam opening the cupboards in the kitchen at the beginning. It just had this very...homey feeling to it, as if Sam and Dean were actually house-hunting together. ::snicker:: I have perhaps been reading a bit too much of a certain kind of fic, but it was so adorable.
The creepiness in the first quarter was well-done, looking at the boys and the family through all those odd angles. I was slightly close to get a little shiver sometimes.
The boys rushing into the house at the sound of screams and not even waiting to be invited, just all, "HERE WE COME TO SAVE THE DAY." Big damn heroes. ::loves them::
Dean making smart remarks while he's BY HIMSELF investigating the walls and NO ONE CAN HEAR HIM. So cute and funny. I bet he did that during Stanford-era solo hunts, too. Which...was probably because he was lonely. Dang it. I just spoiled my own good feeling over that.
Sam sitting and quietly reading a diary while there's all this tense discussion going on around him. That's my geek boy! ::flaily arms::
Speaking of, did Sam seem perhaps a bit protective and in-charge this week? Telling Dean to wait with the folks while he checks out the attic, telling the four men how they're going to split up, and Dean accepting these orders, with only the hint of a pout... I just know the dear boy can see the fragility in his brother and is trying to pick up the slack as much as he can. ::loves him:: He's trying so hard.
Dean also seems to be unusually bothered by gore and such. I so expected/wanted him to be, after everything. I feel vindicated.
Dean and Sam finally seem to be reconnecting, and I'm so very very glad.
And Dean baby, enjoying it? I think perhaps it was the cessation of pain being inflicted on you as much as anything else. You have nothing to be ashamed of, I promise. It was not really the shock to me that perhaps you thought it would have been.
I'm just so afraid that he won't be able to believe it.
