layne67I finally, finally got to see the episode 'Red Sky In The Morning'. Put it off for so long because so many people had said that it's one of the worst episodes ever. Didn't download it when it first aired because I didn't like 'Sin City', the same way I didn't download 'The Kids Are Alright' and 'Bad Day', because of 'The Magnificent Seven'. And boy was I wrong there, because Kids and Bad Day are awesome!
Anyway. Red Sky. It wasn't that bad actually. At least, not in the way Usual Suspect, The Magnificent Seven and Sin City are bad ( IMO ). And it's probably because I don't really hate Bela, whom I think is the main reason why so many dislike this episode.
Bela, Bela, Bela. I didn't hate her then. I don't hate her now. Especially not now after we were told on why she did what she did. Unlike the old Ruby, I like her now that she's no longer around but that isn't so with Bela.
I saw her for the first time in Fresh Blood, and I remember thinking "Oh, so this is the infamous Bela", and seeing her then made me wonder about the Bela-dislike. Oh I love my Sam and Dean, but I don't know, I somehow don't really mind seeing them being played up by Bela. The shooting, the Impala-towing, the stealing, I thought it was kind of ... hilarious.
Now I don't know whether the fact that Dean never did have his angry sex with her played a part in this. But you know, thinking about it, uhm, maybe that scene was never written because uhm, Jensen couldn't do angry sex, with her or with anybody for that matter? Or maybe it was just because of the writers' strike, and the show being shortened to 16 from the usual 22 episodes. So yeah, maybe I would have hated her too if they did have sex, angry or otherwise, and yeah, how shallow is that?
One question. A lot of people were saying that Kripke bowed to fans' outcry, that he didn't meant to have her killed off, and her past was written in later. But that dialogue between Dean and Bela, the one where Dean was saying something about Bela's daddy, and Bela saying that Dean didn't know anything about her, I got the feeling that the writers already knew where they were going with her storyline, and it wasn't something they wrote in later. Any thoughts?
As for the story as a whole, I quite enjoyed it. And hey, it has the boys in tux, what's not to like about that? Omg, that scene where Dean was walking down the stairs, the-daughter-of-the-house-going-to-prom style *FLAILS*
Dean : "Don't objectify me." Yeah, right *g*

They're warriors they usually don't think of someone who want to play them but of someone that need help - they think differently that's the reason they couldn't catch her i the beginning. Also they had no time to track her and wait for her to strike - they have plenty of things to do other than hunt Bela - so she was in better position to avenge. But she add some awesome scenes to S3 and i'm grateful for them.
I like Bela, but not in the way I love Castiel
I totally with you there. She's classic case of 'love to hate' character - in the end you're glad she's gone. But Cas is the other thing :) He brings new dynamics to the show itself and to Dean-angels r-ship, he's new side to look from. It's awesome adding actually. And when she was a distraction he helps concentrate attention on Dean (or both boys) so he works for the boys not against them.
