amberdreams7 days to go which means we are celebrating Season 3 today.
Season 3 is a funny one - initially I came away thinking I was that keen on it, but there were some great episodes, but having done a re-watch of the whole season a couple of times - it was actually much better than I'd thought. With Dean's deal hanging over their heads, there is a quality of impending doom that does actually build over episodes, in spite of the shortened season and the writing strike. Or maybe that just meant we missed some fillers that could have lessened that feeling? I don't know.
We got some great new characters that I loved to wonder about, and maybe even hate a little - like Ruby 1
and go on, I'll admit it - I really loved Bela and her one-liner put downs of Dean
and I know some people hated the episode where we found out she too was under the demonic axe, but I actually thought that gave her character depth, and I felt more sympathy for her after the child abuse reveal. Plus, you know, we have Bela to thank for Dean (and Sam) in a tux! Which is my cue to post this, another fave Dean pic of mine.
Then Season 3 also gave us Dean and mini!Dean
The start of bangless Sam with powers - here he's in transition but cultivating his badassest look.
And Season 3 gave us the double tattoo and the fabulous Jus in Bello - though I am still gutted they killed off Victor. Dammit.
Bonus points for shooting Dean though.
And Mystery Spot - fabulous. Hitting that awesome magic of mixing comedy with poignancy that SPN used to do so well. Carver, what HAPPENED to you?
And of course, there was that very SPN Christmas - Peter on a popsicle, but that last scene makes me sniffle every time I watch it.
And then they actually went there, they killed Dean and sent him to Hell. What a set up for Season 4.
Anyhow I could pic spam y'all to death, so I'll stop here. In conclusion - Season 3 rocked.
