Supernatural 3x07 - Fresh Blood

[katysam]

SEVEN THINGS I LOVED:

1. Sammy just wants his big brother back 'cos. Well, just 'cos.
   How could anyone resist a plea like that especially when the person making the plea has a face like Sammy's. He seriously must have had Dean wrapped around his little finger when they were small and this scene proves he's still got the mojo happening. Poor Dean never stood a chance *g*
   
   
2. Showing little brother the ropes.
   Oh, brothers. Who would have thought they would share such a moment, or any moment, under the hood of the Impala.
   A Kleenex tissue rating should really be included with the warning messages for this show:
   
   
   
   Seriously though. Dean teaching Sam how to look after the Impala is a great way to start preparing Sam for life without him. *sob* And the fact that Dean is letting Sammy even touch the inner workings of the Impala (especially after seeing how Sammy works a ratchet - I think Sam may have a defective mechanic-gene) shows a significant change in Dean's attitude. He's finally beginning to let him in and he's starting by trusting Sam with his most loved possession in the whole wide World.
   
   
3. Completely headless Gordon
   Okay, this was awesome! Did y'all see his lip move after his head plonked on the ground? FTW! Tell you what, it was lucky young Sam ate his can of spinach before Gordon attacked him otherwise he may not have been able to rip his head off with his bare hands. It was an extremely fitting way for Gordon to bow out but it's not really possible right? Anyone know? I'm trying to understand whether it was a case of creative license being taken for dramatic affect or whether it was supposed to suggest that Sam actually does have some super-human strength/ability. *is slightly confused*
   
   
4. Bela's life being threatened... TWICE! \o/.
   I don't really care who does her in as long as some one does. It would be lovely if it could be Dean but I'd settle for Bobby or Sam. I'd like their method to be suitably gory. BBQ fork. Table saw. Draino. Dull knife. Spoon. I'm not fussy.
   
   
5. I think his name is Dean.
   I know the boys say each others names a lot. A real lot. However, in this episode they seemed to say them more than usual, especially Sam saying 'Dean'. I don't think I'll ever get sick of hearing Sam saying, "Dean", or Dean saying, "Sam" or "Sammy". Dean doesn't have a nickname, does he? It's not as if Sam or John have ever called him 'Deano' or something similar have they?
   
   
6. Dean's Neck.
   Lots of other people seemed to like his neck in this one. Harmony. Gordon. Gnawing on someone's neck... I hear it's the new strangle.
   
   
7. Dean on the phone.
   I like how he holds his phone. By the way, Bela. I really do think he's serious.
   
   

FOUR THINGS I LIKED:

1. 'Harmony' as a vampire. Again.
   Can we say typecast?
   
   
2. Stating the obvious.
   Sam's, "There you are!", as Dean walked into their room at the Mattress Motel made me laugh. Sorry.
   
   
3. Jesus!Freak.
   I liked Jesus!Freak. I think I may be alone on that one. However, I also liked that he got his heart ripped out by Gordon because, yeah, fake blood and gore. I'm going to miss Jesus!Freak. I wonder who will get his Jesus.
   
   
4. Justin Kiriakis being attacked by Gordon
   Can someone confirm the tire!changing!dude, who Gordon attacked, played Justin Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives many many years ago? I think he may have also played Ned (?) on General Hospital? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? IMDB is not being of any use to me what-so-ever.
   

TWO THINGS I DID NOT SO MUCH CARE FOR:

1. Bela.
   In our first meeting with Bela she shoots Sam to get what she wants. The second time we see her she sets Sammy up with 'Gert' and makes Dean dress up like Daniel Craig (which, not so bad for us viewers) to get what she wants and despite all that the boys still save her butt. Now this, the third time we see her, she turns Sam and Dean over to psycho!Gordon to get her grubby mitts on what she wants. What did she think Gordon wanted to do? Sit down and play drinking games with the boys? Her only redeeming feature, so far, is how she calls Sam and Dean "lads".
   
   
2. What happened to the boys' money?
   Did Dean lose it all on the Craps table in Atlantic City? It's not really something I didn't like but it confused, is all. Last week they had 10,000 big ones and this week it looks like they are squatting in a motel room full of old mattresses. *is more confused*
