21 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe we survived another Hellatus. Supernatural is finally back with one heavy episode. I can't deny I had a hard time finding proper words to describe this one. I watched "Out with the Old" three times already, The first time I was too excited to have the show back that I couldn't process it properly, the second time to digest that whole bunch of events and the third time to be able to write a proper comment about it. However to be completely honest I still can't and I'm confused about giving it an 8 or a 9 out of 10, so as usual I go with 9, So yeah I like it.

In a shot out to one of my favourite season three episodes "Bad day at black Rock", The boys run across a case where an antique store sells cursed objects, Only to collide with some Levaithans that act as real estate agents buying everything in town. Meanwhile Sam comes clean to Dean about his Lucifer hallucinations and we get a glimpse of how dangerous Sam's situation would be.(OH Poor poor Sammy)

Bits and pieces:

1- I know the budget might be a little too tight for the show, But I wish they would ditch the blood spatter thing it is being used way too much lately and as cool as it may be, it is starting too lose the awesome factor.

2- Lol at Dean watching Black Swan TWICE, "the depth of your..."

3- SO SO sad to see Sam trying desperately to fight the Lucifer hallucinations and it is heartbreaking that he doesn't even bother to finish the joke. :(

4- Oh yes, we finally see snow in the show, it's been a long time and it was a brilliant scenery to see the boys in.

5- Dean getting kicked in the face twice by a little girl, do I even need words?! (Though I wonder, Why didn't Daddy officer follow the strange FBI guys into the ladies-room where his girl was?)

6- It was hilarious to see Dean lovingly eyeing the Ballet shoes (and I can't imagine the scenarios that ran through fans' heads wishing to see Dean in them), Also seeing Sam run around on the street carrying those shoes made me laugh my fool head off.

7- Is it me or did that Scott guy seem stoned?

8- If you think a Ballerina that dances her self to death is gruesome, wait till you watch the Tea pot. (Only in supernatural you can really turn the most harmless objects to weapons of mass destruction, Lol) I literally hide my head with both arms on the first watch in front of my Laptop and then looked around checking to see if my parents were watching me and wondering if I have gone insane. I kept gasping first thinking she would chop her fingers off with this knife, only to find it much much worse, Kudos for the special effects team on that scene, now thanks to you I'm scared for life.

9- Okay okay I'm a detail freak but didn't it seem strange that the woman and the boy didn't seem to panic much when a strange man barged into their home?

10- Nice tip Dean, But were you advising Scott or yourself? Anyway I'm so glad that Dean seems to be getting his grip on things and we haven't seen him drink in a while.

11- Thought the MOTW story was wrapped up too soon, Nice weaving the Levaithan story into it and I really enjoyed Joyce and George.

12- I don't know about you, but I kept screaming at the screen " Wake up Sam" OMG I'm very scared for that man. And yes Sam, Sleep deprivation is torture, You ask me.

13- "you see a Winchester, you don't eat him, You tell me and I eat him"

14- Lucifer singing "stairway to Heaven", We should've seen that.

15- Sam and Dean in a gallery café, That right there is scary, Ha.

16- Sam here was in no shape to go through that fight, Luckily for him and for us, George was too tired of his boss.

17- Cure cancer! Yeah right like we don't know better.

18- Frank might not be my favourite but I'll be sad to see him go. We have dealt with enough losses already and I for sure will miss his snarky conversations with Dean.

Jensen Ackles gave us a new side of Dean, He is worried about his brother, he keeps giving out concerned looks and keeps telling Sam to get some sleep and though I was initially angry that he can't see how serious the problem really is (or he might be hoping that Sam would find a way to cope with it again), I was glad that he didn't force his will on Sam and trusting him on the job. However I wished Dean would slip something in Sam's drink, The guy needs to sleep or he will die.

Jared Padalecki, What can I say! I grew to love this man over the years and I have been re-watching some of the old episodes lately, only to notice how far he has grown as an actor. Sam is honest with his brother about his hallucinations, he is too tired, incoherent, impatient, nervous, resigned and has no energy to sympathize with others. And though we couldn't see Lucifer, Jared made him present through facial expressions, blinks and his nervous posture and Kodus for the make up team, for Jared really looked sleep deprived.

Any way get ready for next Friday, keep your napkins close for I will. The sneak a peek clip is heartbreaking already and I wonder how will the rest be. And finally, Congratulations Jared and Gen for Padababy.
