Watching a season 3 episode.

[layne67]

I watched 'The Kids Are Alright' over the weekend and wow. It was super-scary! I had goosebumps all over and that had not happened for quite some time already. It's right up there with 'Pilot', 'Bloody Mary', 'Provenance' and 'The Long Distance Call' in its chill quotient. And to think that I only watch it now!! I blame 'The Magnificent 7' for that. I was so disappointed with that ep that I didn't bother to dl the ep that came right after it. But it was real GOOD!!! vshendria, your choice for your presentation is absolutely spot-on.

Anyways. Ruby. Katie Cassidy to be more precise. God, I really do miss her as the snarky, sneering, kick-ass she-demon. Anyone else here miss KC I wonder? Or do you prefer GC as Ruby?

Cut for slight 4.09 spoilers.

I don't give a shit what Lisa said Ben is Dean's kid.

Blonde!snarky Ruby is my one. I loved Katie!Ruby, and I still like Genevieve!Ruby also :) The maid one is crack, and the secretary was kind of hot lol

Ruby wins~

I was never a fan of Ruby. I didn't hate her by any means but her being there never really made a difference to me. But I did like Katie better then Genevieve. Although the maid last week was pretty funny.

I believe they purposely leave the conclusion to that opened, in case they want to explore that angle later on. I mean, if they really wanted to confirm it, Dean could have asked for a paternity test!

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Yes but he wouldn't not knowing he's going to hell.

I swear sometimes I want to strangle Kripke the evil genius.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I didn't really mind Ruby of season 3 before, I mean I neither liked nor disliked her. BUt now I find that I really miss her!

P.S. that icon is killing me.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Icon by apieceofcake. Manip by stawberynvanila. I love this icon!!!

[vshendria.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *takes a bow*
Yes, I do miss Katie Cassidy. She had Da Snark.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

That maid was PRICELESS!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

So, how's the presentation? :)

[ada-c-eliana.livejournal.com]

While I liked Blonde!Snarky Ruby, I woulda loved to see Secretary!Ruby stick around. The actor who played her was great, and I think she fit the role.

[thursdaywench.livejournal.com]

i wasn't really convinced of new!Ruby til THE scene, then it was HELLZ YEAH!! Blondie!Ruby is always fun, and maid!Ruby was hilarious. Secretary!Ruby sucked though.

I was never really a big fan of Ruby to begin with I'm afraid... I don't hate her, but she always just sort of annoyed me. I do prefer her snarky and blonde though

All Rubies are ok but Ruby 2.0.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think my icon answers your question :)

And I noticed the 'ben is dean's kid' thing going on, and not to rain on the parade, but Kripke didn't leave the answer to that open, I was AT the con he said it at, but he said, 100% Ben is NOT Dean's kid, now if he would ever get back with Lisa, he could be his step-dad, but no, no Winchester blood running through those veins :)

I liked Ruby the moment her eyes went demon!black. Katie was a little one-dimensional in her portrayal for a while there (the whiny, angry chick thing, you know?) but I LOVED the way she and Dean went at each other in Malleus Maleficarum and again in No Rest for the Wicked. The truth is, I feel like her character ran its course in S3 so we didn't need her back in S4 at all.

If I had to choose, though, I'd take ANY of your choices over Brunette needy!Ruby. I honestly cannot figure out how her character went from "Who's gonna take me on" to "Oh, Sam, you have to beleeeeve I'm good"... *eyeroll* I mean, seriously... Who's buying this? I don't get it at all! And, what? A whole bunch of people are on the yay!Ruby campaign all of a sudden because Sammy fucked her? How does that even make sense? *lol*

Oh, and Ben is adorable, isn't he? :D

... Sorry.. As you can see, I kind of feel strongly about this. :P

[chloe-amethyst.livejournal.com]

That was a very scary episode. The mom of the scary girl was really good in her performance, too. The changeling kids real faces reminded me of this book about fish I checked out from the school library when I was nine, and I opened the book at random on the pages with close up lamprey pictures, and I was too afraid to look at the book again after that! LOL

[ckll.livejournal.com]

I don't care who plays her :)
Although the maid Ruby was WIN

I didn't like Ruby 1.0 at all till I saw Ruby 2.0, and now I want Katie Cassidy back. I voted for secretary!Ruby. I'm curious as to her real agenda, and she might still have some information or training Sam can use, so she can stick around for a while at least. But I was kind of hoping we'd have a different Ruby every episode she's in...kind of like they used to do on Joan of Arcadia, where Joan never knew when the stranger she was talking to was God till he was ready for her to know.

I can see it now. Everyone who looks too long at Sam, or talks to him...every waitress, bartender, even some of the guys, instead of "Christo!" he's going to be saying, "Ruby? Is that you?"

"What's your problem, guy? Do I look like a Ruby to you?" responds the 6'6" biker.

"Oh, um, sorry, my bad," Sam says, slowly backing away.

And with The Kids Are Alright, it was so much better than The Magnificent Seven! And I agree, Ben is Dean's kid. Lisa said she did a paternity test and it's not Dean's kid, but she could have been lying, to protect all of them from getting hurt. Let's face it, Dean's really not the settling down type, not when there's still demons and monsters out there to deal with, and if the demons knew he had a kid, it would just be more leverage against him. Probably even more than threatening Sam, because at least Sam can defend himself a lot better against evil than little Ben. I'm not saying he isn't a kick-ass, tough kid, but he is just an 8-year-old (?right?) kid.

I'm not a big fan of Ruby (I actually find her kind of annoying), but at least Ruby 1, 3, and 4 can act. I have to say that my favorite Ruby is definitely HouseKeeper Ruby. If Sam wasn't sleeping with Ruby, Housekeeper Ruby is definitely the one they should stick with.

Ruby 2 seems kind of forced, like her timing is always a little bit off.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Too bad she's around for such a short while. When she first appeared my firsth thought was Omg Katie Cassidy?!?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Ruby 2 fan, eh? :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Snarky is better than needy, yeah?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

She's so different from the first Ruby that it's hard to think of her as the same demon!
