Hey, Ladies! heh.
well, i thought this ep felt very out of place. it felt like it should have happened before “In the Beginning” and “Metamorphasis”. Sam and Dean were just too nice to each other for having just come off the revelations of those eps. the message of “Are you a monster because of what you are or what you do” came up again in this episode; made it feel a little heavy handed to me.
even though there were some funny parts (Dean convinced that he had been revirginized was hi-larious and made my whole family laugh), this ep was really kind of boring for me. i guess you can’t keep that high tension all the time or it’d just wear people out on the story! it did remind me of the good ole X-Files days. come to think of it, the pacing did feel like an old Universal Monster movie. but what’s with the characters being really close to the edge of the picture plane or halfway in/halfway out of the picture plane? i noticed it in this ep and the last one, in particular. it’s mostly Sam or Dean shot this way. did anyone else notice this? and does it mean anything besides the fact that Art School taught me about the picture plane? hmm.
one thing that bugged me about “Metamorphasis” was the Dean/Ruby exchange. i’m confused as to why she would be willing to go toe-to-toe with Dean when just the confirmation of him being brought back by angels was enough for her to want to cut bait and ditch Sam. why the change in attitude? surely tangoing with the guy who has angel connections is more dangerous than sneaking around with the potentially Dark Side brother? i don’t know. i do know that i’m not liking Ruby this season. i definitely don’t think she’s trying to help Sam stay on the good side. she’s got some sneaky ulterior(sp?) motives, for sure. also, the actress doesn’t really fit the character for me.
i’m babbling a lot longer than i thought i would, so i’ll end by saying there are two things i look forward to each week: Supernatural and The EMF Podcast. you two are fantastic, and i can’t say it enough. dudes, keep up the great work! oh, and i finished the Castiel portrait, if you’re interested in seeing it (it’ll be on my blog later this evening = http://to-paraphrase.com). i think i’m going to do fanart for the whole show now. it’s not like the show is lacking in hot guys to draw.

I love you guys, you rock! you guys make me laugh so much and I never get any work done, but I’ll catch yup! I just thought I would point out to you………………. about Dean’s virginity being in place an all. (well not by the end of the episode)that on the pod cast you said that with all his scars and fingers and ever thing gone and Dean being the 30 year old virgin, which I think would have been a killer thing line for Sam! that you guys thought that Dean’s tattoo would have gone too. but it isn’t if you look about to the first episode from the season and got to the part when Dean is in the gas station bathroom, and lifts up his shirt (calm down at the thought of Dean shirtless, Kristi. I know I’m not) you can see the bottom of the tattoo! just thought I would tell you that! I love you guys you rock! Also, I would like to add I’m a Dean fan and I hated those shorts! any way “does this comment have any garlic on it?” is sure as hell didn’t ask for it!

okay, first, just re-watched “Monster Movie” and found it to be much more entertaining without all the distractions i had the first time around. definitely appreciated the subtleties and puns a lot more.
“Yellow Fever” = totally my fav ep of SPN as a whole. oh, dude, there were so many golden moments in this one. so worth the pain laughing causes me right now (been pretty sickly for about 4 weeks now); especially the special clip at the end, which killed my brother and i. the Lilith exchange, about Dean remembering exactly what happened to him in Hell, when Sam went yellow-eyed (and at the end?! holy crap, WTF was that about?!), and Dean’s breakdown about what they do for a living were great. the screaming like a girl was a fantastic bit. the whole thing was fantastic. can’t wait to hear what you two thought!
