keire_keCatching up on SPN, at long last! Loving season six so far, not only because the boys are at their prettiest. :D Am only up to episode 4 (though have at least one major spoiler for the following five, be kind, peeps).
First of, episode four was wonderful. We love Bobby, that's a given, so a Bobby-centric episode is a great thing. Also, giant props to Jensen - dude! If the director does what I think he does, Jensen is good at it.
I have on major grievance with the ep though, and that is: WTF, torching a demon's bones suddenly kills it? What? Up until now spirits were remnants, concentrated little balls of memory that clung to the mortal plane, not actual souls! Okay, maybe I am slow on the uptake, but that's the impression I had. There was a choice, yes, but given that a spirit deteriorated over time, I figured it was slipping through the cracks into the afterlife, until there were only the small shards of it left, and the torching simply dragged the rest of it, kicking and screaming, into the beyond.
Now, it seems, the boys spent most of their lives winking people out of existence, permanently. Except that can't be right, because that's the kind of funeral a hunter gets, too, and we know that a hunter funeral doesn't kill the soul.
Minor grievance: torching a live woman? Harsh, Bobby.
Crowley is all kinds of awesome. Evil, duh, but scary awesome.
There's a number of tiny issues to go with it, too, like Dean, a legally dead man twice over, hunted by the government, gets on a plane to Scotland. Don't you need passports for that?
That aside, again, I'm loving the season so far. And the opening to the Twi-hard episode? LOL!!
