S10E08 episode reaction (no fic yet!)

[amberdreams]

A quick drive-by post because I just had to thank my flisties for the discussion we had the other day about Sam and Dean's relationship. It meant when the boys were in the Bunker discussing Jody's case, and Dean turned the patented Puppy Dog Eyes on Sam - I actually cheered and shouted "role reversal!!!"

Got to say, Sam does them better. But I suppose he's had more practice!

So that aside, what else. Donna is ace, I love her so much - how she's trying so desperately to be jolly so people will like her, how she is visibly hurt but hides it, how she's (like Dean) a LOT smarter than she looks, and occasionally she's brave enough to show it. Jody is brilliant and the two of them together were a perfect storm of kickass womanhood combined with comedy and a dash of angst. I REALLY want to see the SPN spin off being the Sheriffs Mills and Hanscum show (going by the writer's spelling for that one). Of course it won't happen because a) women b) middleaged women c) lack of imagination.

Oh another cheering out loud moment - the coroner was that hilarious woman from Stargate who had hiccups and was brilliant. Under used here I thought, but still, made an impact. And of course, the fake badges...

And I laughed when the dumpster ate that bloke.

Musical moments of note - they played the Family theme music not only while Dean and Sam were talking at the end but for Jody and Donna too, and I loved that implication. And of course - The Weight!

Thanks for homing in on Dean's puppy dog eyes! I loved that scene and the way his head moved a little was just adorable too! And I love the gif of Dean telling Sam to be proud of making their FBI badges - it made me laugh

This was another great episode, Jody & Donna are brilliant and make such a good team. I think 'shut the f...ront door' is going to be one of my new favourite quotes!

I'm worried about Dean though, there was free food at the retreat which he didn't eat and he's not driving Baby...and of course he's lying to Sam again!!

I'm mega worried too - I caught the first frame of the promo trailer and *gulp* that was spoiler enough for me! I am now desperately trying to avoid watching any more but I want the next episode RIGHT NOW!!

Jensen does that lost, broken, tragic look too well! Dean!!!!!!!!

I just saw the episode and it was GOLD! I'm kind of impressed that the show thought of bringing those two characters together, I'm not used of that from them. Is it me or are there a lot more women this season than the usual? Not complaining, but I'm wondering what brought the chnage.

Certainly the last 3 episodes have had some good female characters in them - it would be nice to have more - and I'd never say no to more Jody and Donna!

I could watch those puppy dog eyes forever.

I think it was quite interesting that Sam's the one who Jody approaches as an equal in this ep -- she calls him about the case (though that does make sense just because she's closer to him than to Dean, I think), whereas she approaches Dean in quite a motherly way. ('Kiddo!' Hee.)

I don't know how I'm going to wait a week for the next episode. BOYS. D:

I REALLY want to see the SPN spin off being the Sheriffs Mills and Hanscum show (going by the writer's spelling for that one). Of course it won't happen because a) women b) middleaged women c) lack of imagination.

Yes, to all of this. It won't happen, but it really, really, should.
