Saw SPN S3/1 this morning, downloaded from the internet. And I must say that I'm a wee bit disappointed with it. I don't know, maybe it's just because of the audio-visual that's rather crappy. Or maybe because I was watching it with the kids and the husband, hunched over the computer. Not very conducive to enjoying a show, I guess ( hubby loves it, btw )

It started out promising enough. I love the intro, love the music and when Dean appeared wearing that wife-beater, I was like, OMG DEAN!!! ( cues for simultaneous eye-rollings from hubby and kids ). Then, then, oh dear, and I really didn't get that, he went on to have that orgy-thing with the girl ( girls? ) and with Sam right *there* inside the car, presumably seeing what we saw, and was Dean dancing there? I got it that Dean might be in denial and he wanted to enjoy his last year on earth, but I don't know, I just didn't get it.

And the second thing is ( yeah, there're only two grouses, the rest is not bad ) is The Girl. She took down three demons, three, not one, all by herself while Sam, the YED's chosen one, so to speak, just sat there looking for all the world like the proverbial damsel in distress.

But the show is otherwise great. It's just that it's not, well, not as *magical* as 'At The Time Of My Dying'. I need to watch it again, alone this time. Or maybe I should just wait for S3 to be shown here, watch it properly on the telly.

So there I was feeling mildly out-of-sorts this morning when yay, guess what the mailman brought. The S2 DVDs!!! That put me back in a good mood though there was A Moment there when I felt like crying when I couldn't find the Extras but they are there alright, silly me.

Then I found this fic written by [livejournal.com profile] lyra_wing and all are alright again with my SPN love because Burn this city down to show you the light is simply gorgeous.

Written for [livejournal.com profile] reel_spn, this fic is an AU of 'The Outsiders'. Dean is 19 while Sam is 15, with Ash, Andy and Jo making up the rest of the greaser gang. And Dean, as always, is the protector. Do go read if you haven't already. It's lovely, I just wish that it's longer.

Sam didn't respond, unsure if they were on good terms again or not, and he was a little relieved when Dean shifted and put his arm around Sam's shoulders, pulling him in closer. Dean was warm against him, heavy and familiar, an anchor holding Sam to reality – exactly what Sam needed, after all the unreal mess of the past few hours.They were all each other had. It was a lonely, disquieting truth that really only made itself known at times like this – in the darkness, in the quiet moments, when they could only hear each other breathe and nothing else. When it seemed like they were the only two living people in the world.

I'm sorry you didn't like the episode. Maybe you'll enjoy more the next one.

Oh hon, it's not the whole episode that I didn't like, just some aspects of it. And maybe I had such a high expectation of it ...

But I still love my Sam and Dean, the magic is still very much there. I just wish that Dean is not so *hedonistic*. I like my angst and I don't think there's enough there. Unlike ATOMD, omg, I really cried for that one!

They pushed too far Dean's 'humor' but i don't think we'll see much of it all the time

Exactly. Too far and too much. Watching it on the computer didn't help either.

But the rest of the family loves it!

We'll see. I have the feeling Dean's going to crash sometime, and he'll need Sam. I didn't like the girl demon hunter. She was completely unbelievable. Other than than, I enjoyed the show a lot.

Oh but the angst, Julia, there's not enough angst there! God, I'm such a sucker for angst :/

I love this line of Sam, though That's *hell* fire, Dean. Hee, I think Dean looked rather taken aback there *g*

Hmmm, I'm probably the only one who was very curious about this female demon hunter. I was very anti against any new characters but I'm very intrigued and am looking forward to who she is (and is there another one too??). I agree with the first scene, it seemed a bit odd but I shrugged and thought it was just a thing to show that Dean tried very hard not to bother. I was kind of sad to see Bobby leave, I like him a LOT. I was super scared they were going to kill him when that demon closed in on him. But it felt so good to see them again!!!!

I'm thinking of not downloading anymore eps from the internet. I'll just wait for them to be shown on TV. I've had this bad feeling way back when we first knew about the new characters, I didn't like it then, I don't like it now :((

Okay, so Dean thinks that Sam is going to be alright, and safe. But he doesn't have to be so "happy" about it! Yeah, I guess that's just a facade, but that orgy ... *shakes head*

Yeah, you said it yourself. It means he tries so hard to look as if he's enjoying his life so much. He just doesn't want Sam to see...

*sniffs*
