louiseluxI had a sick day on Monday, so I was able to lie on the sofa under a blanket and gorge on the pretty Winchesters. I've now only got eps 21 and 22 to go!
More deep thoughts for eps 07-20 ...
I really adore the the sets - they're beautiful, specially all those shabby motel rooms with the scary 70s furniture and the star clocks. I liked how they acknowledge this with the lovely black and white disco motel room in one episode. They really help with the sense of them endlessly travelling through these anonymous American backwaters. Although I expect it's shot somewhere near Vancouver isn't it? Like everything seems to be.
This show is obsessed with cars! Seriously, everything happens in cars. The first episode, even. Then there are lots more. There's a racist truck! Well, that was just odd and it was annoying that it was a white woman who got to do the big angst about it at the end, rather than, you know, anyone of a different colour.
Dean's Impala sounds like a huge growling wolf and it's kind of adorable how when they pull up in these tiny places people don't turn in the street and point and stare or even seem to notice it.
Jared Padalecki's acting does get a lot better towards the end of the series. I like how he does the constant questioning and getting angry. The sibling vibe did kick off for me when Daddy Winchester showed up - I thought they did that really well. The rowing, Sam's whiny tones sometimes, Dean being patient but underneath you can see he wants to kick someone. Daddy Winchester is really mean.
Dean's obsession with Sam getting laid is verging on the, well, obsessive. It's kind of hot how we get his POV when he watches Sam kissing women. What?
Jensen Ackles looks enough like Jeffrey Dean Morgan aroud the eyes and nose to plausibly be his son, but Jared doesn't at all.
Lesbian Vampire Moment! Heh. Hello, target audience.

(The armadillo is a pseud for Michael Rosenbaum's dick, but that's a whole 'nother story). Nobody gets why I leap up and laugh, and cry 'Armadillo!!!' when it appears onscreen in Sam & Dean's hotel room. :-)
