Writing From the Inside

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Folsom Prison Blues” on pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“Second, the Lighting Guys must have been in an experimental phase, because what they’re using brings out some rather vivid pink and green tones to the boys’ skin, which contrasts rather abruptly with the orange uniforms the boys are wearing. It’s very stark lighting, and seems to represent the harsh reality of living within the prison system, a metaphor for the post-modern allegory to the amount of violence inherent in the system. (“Help, help! I’m being repressed!”) On the other hand, it could just be the Lighting Guys setting out to prove that Ackles and Padalecki are beautiful, no matter how you light them. Like we didn’t already know that.”

 Dean is discomfitted

Sam thinks this is a dumb plan

Dean is velvety smooth

Too pretty for prison

With his hair in his eyes

Battered but unbowed (and beautiful)

Mock meekness (very cute!)

Digging and sweaty from it

Lighting the fire

Watching it burn
