jebbypalOkay, I can't wait for the "new" smell to get off my couch. It doesn't give me a headache, but it is vaguely annoying and a little overpowering when I'm sitting on it.
But on the other hand, my bed is HEAVEN. I'm mildly worried that a body slump will rapidly appear, but that's neither here nor there. My hips and shoulders sink into the bed enough that lying on my side doesn't cause body pain. As a result, I wasn't sore when I woke up this morning. Moreover, I actually woke up at six awake...however, the bed was just too durn comfy to get out of and I was having problems remembering if it was Friday or Saturday.
SPN 3x01 -- I've been reading the various rants and wow. I don't know. I mean, SPN has pissed me off in the past with very very bad episodes (Route 666 anyone), but this wasn't one of those. I'm reserving judgement onMary Sue the female regular, but oh well. Everyone's in arms over how he's acting. However, my impression that I got from teh beginning of the episode that this is like 5 days or a week post season-finale? Given that, I think Dean's reaction is normal. I mean, he spent many months grieving his father, keeping secrets from Sam, and basically trying to save his brother from his destiny only to have said brother die in a very lame way. Now he has his brother back, a year to live, and no apocalypse on the horizon (yes, bad demons and many of them, but nothing of the world ending variety). Everything is right in his world and he's ENJOYING himself.
If anything, I think the throwing himself into sex is a way for Dean to keep himself from thinking about what he's putting Sam through right now. If every waking moment he spends sexing, eating, and fighting, he doesn't have to sit and feel. And if he avoids the brother bonding moments, he doesn't have to feel guilty. Plus, he's worried about cutting short his time and causing Sam to fall over dead so he's obviously going to do everything in his power to accept his fate so SAM CAN LIVE, because that's always been his mission.
I think the more separation in time they get from events, Dean will back off on his "vacation". But right now, he's happy to be able to not take life serious again. It's like the person who goes 10 years sober and then has a one night off the wagon to an extent. When he wakes up, he'll feel like an ass, but right now, it feels good for him to not think about consequences.
So yeah, I actually think they served Dean's character very well when I actually examine it. But then again, I've never gone into Supernatural expecting it to be perfect. When it's GREAT, it's GREAT. But it's never been, or tried to be, what Firefly was or the like.
Man, exactly how do I let myself get drawn into the wank?
