Writing From the Inside

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Lazarus Rising” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“The moment where he stands at his own graveside amidst a circle of fallen trees that seems eerily similar to Tunguska, shoulders rolled forward, eyes narrowed against the brightness, is an excellently done bit of filming. There is no wind, no sound at all, adding to the creepy, other-worldly feel to this scene. Plus, Show didn’t rush it, because DEAN wouldn’t rush it, he’s going to take in his surroundings before he makes a single move. It gave off the odd feeling that maybe he was the last man on earth, which of course brought up the next important question: Where is Sam?”

An excerpt:
“The boys separate to do watchful things; Sam watches over Madison all night, making me wonder when he sleeps. Dean is still watching Kurt, which we see in a very atmospheric scene with a full moon, sweeping clouds, gothic overtones, and Dean, with one leg propped up, standing in an alley. For all it’s so short, it really is a beautiful little clip, and always makes me think that Dean’s unafraid because he knows he’s almost the most dangerous thing in the city. Plus there’s that whole waiting element; as boys, they probably learned patience early on, and I wonder what Dean’s thinking of here as he watches, on sentry duty through the darkness.”

An excerpt:

“There’s lots of looks and tips of the head, silent exchanges between the brothers as they try to convince Number Six to let them take her out of there. (There’s lots of flashing of flashlights, as well, in this ep, always sexy, and it starts in the first scene where the boys are looking for Number Six’s car. Which they can’t find.) Personally, I wouldn’t get into a stranger’s car on a BET, let alone with these two characters, because if I didn’t know them, I would be totally freaked to meet them on the road like this, and run very far, very fast in the opposite direction. It just adds to the creepiness of this ep that Number Six does not, no, instead she gets into the back seat of the black (totally AWESOME) and scary car with two guys well over the six foot limit, and allows herself to be driven off.”

An excerpt:

“Sam decks Dean with several verbal punches about the fact that Dean might have to actually waste him one day and how DARE he keep this from Sam. Once again he’s been placed in a need-to-know status, making him feel the littlest, most useless member of Team Winchester. I imagine that most of his anger is for The Dad, at this point, and who could blame him. He’s just been told several awful, awful things one of which is that he, poor boy, is bound to die. We might as well string him up and call him Tom Dooley as to let him wander around wondering when his deathdate will be and when big brother will deliver the killing blow. Plus, he must be remembering when he flat out asked The Dad whether The Dad knew anything about what the YED had to say about sidekick kids. In return, The Dad flat out LIED to Sam, and although Sam should be used to this type of prevarication, it’s obvious that it still hurts. Hurts bad enough to want to hurt back; in his eyes, you can see it.”

An excerpt:

“Oh, and then, even better is what follows. Really. This is the best caricature of Sam ever done ever, bar none. Padalecki always rocks at the comedy, and here he goes full out, using his body and his face, and it’s wonderful. And the stuff he says, even though it’s Dean telling the story to make Sam look bad, it doesn’t make it any less true. He’s got tons of emo stuff to say to the other frat boy like, “I acknowledge your pain!” (as if no one else in the world has or possibly could), and THEN, as he hugs the guy, he says, all screwed up, worried, and angsty, “You’re too precious for this world!” I fall off my chair EVERY time.”

What the hell

Given that Ackles and Padalecki are both starring in remakes of slasher films, I had some opinions rattling around in my head. Instead of allowing them to keep me up late at night, I decided to write them down, and heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere they are!

An excerpt:

“First, what’s up with the 3-D? Hollywood is in LOVE with 3-D these days and that might be because they are on crack, but it didn’t work the first time, it barely works at Disneyland now, so why do they keep trying? It’s had its heyday, it’s come and gone a dozen times, and it has never worked. I just wish the lovers of 3-D would just give it UP and move on. I think that Hollywood gets a little bored and somehow imagines that because 3-D is so fun for them to work with, that all the rest of us will enjoy it too. They’re like pushers or something. But the bottom line is, if the story sucks, 3-D is not going to help you, and if it’s a great story, why the hell do you need 3-D? Like my archery teacher at summer camp said, “Pretty arrows do not a bulls eye make.””

An excerpt:

“Then he says to Jo, “I could be more to you, Jo.” (The tone of his voice, at this point, makes me uneasy and I wonder, what’s up with Sam?) And then he grabs her hand. He’s got his wrist cocked at an angle, with his sleeves rolled up on his manly forearm, and I have to tell you that he’s so powerful and bulked up, it’s pure, unadulterated wrist porn. It’s hard to explain why such a little moment could be so damn intoxicating, but it is. What’s even better is when Jo asks him to let go of her, he flips her hand away like so much dead meat, and the strength with which he does this contains the scary implication that he could have held on to her, if he’d wanted to, and it is only by some mercurial inner whim that he’s letting her go now. It’s a whole new Sam. Why, it’s Dark Sam!”

An excerpt:

“The boys check out the crypt and this time it’s Sam who sees the MOW, the white light that shakes the ground and hands out directions of who to kill and how and when. But what’s even better, what is the BEST, really, is what white light does to Sam’s face. Why, it lights it up, that’s what, and I get an eyeful, and absolutely glorious eyeful of Sam, from the inky locks across his forehead, to his bright, wide eyes, and that cotton candy mouth, all lit up in living color, every graceful line, everything. Everything. It’s like a gift from above, and I begin to wonder what I must have done to have earned this unexpected gift. Only you shouldn’t, you know, question gifts like these, but rather, should accept them with grace and humility and many, many prayers of thanks. Oh Lord, we pray, thank you for Show’s Lighting Team, who know just where to stand and where to aim their Halogens at Sam’s beautiful face to make it more gorgeous than it already is. If that’s possible. Amen.”

An excerpt:

“Hendrickson knows, man, he knows about how The Dad dragged those kids from pillar to post, raising them up in cheap motels and backwoods cabins, and just as I’m leaning forward for MORE delicious factoids like these, Hendrickson switches into opinion mode because he can’t figure out whether The Dad was a survivalist nut job, a Unabomber, or what. He rattles on to be insulting but simply doesn’t know and is just trying to get Dean’s goat. (Which he had, as they say, at hello.)  And Dean says, “You don’t know crap about my dad. He was a hero.” I love, love, love Dean in this scene, it might be my favorite scene in the whole ep  (besides Sam’s mandroid line), on account of Dean’s shoulders go back and his chin comes up and there’s a whole lot of love and pride running through him. Plus, yeah, I loved the factoids about where the boys lived when they were growing up. Show needs to give fangirls like me MORE like this, and right away, if not sooner. Otherwise I’ll just make stuff up and it’ll be a whole lot darker than what Show had planned.”

An excerpt:

“But really, and perhaps you’ll agree, that the finest thing about this scene is the shirt Sam is wearing. It’s a thin, grey one that looks like cashmere, which everyone knows it couldn’t be, seeing as the boys get their clothes from the Salvation Army. Then again, maybe it could be; I once got a cashmere sweater there for a dollar. At any rate, it clings to every single curve of Sam’s arms and chest. Or rather, to give credit where it is due, it clings to Padalecki’s arms and chest. I’ve not got the math smarts to graph a chart that will demonstrate just how often and how hard the boy’s been working out, but it’s plain to see that he has been. Vigorously, and, dare I say it, religiously, because if working out and muscles were prayers, then this boy would be SAVED. The long, once boyishly lean torso and arms, the once tender and young sweetness of his neck, all of it has now turned into rippled iron, covered by silky skin, turning his frame to a divine work, so that when he shifts, or turns, or flips a cell phone closed with a resounding click, and it’s grace personified. He’s always had the height and the charm, now he’s got control and confidence. All wrapped in unassuming wool. (And his hair, lest we forget, spires down like inky ribbons across his intelligent forehead. It’s enough to make a fangirl swoon.)”
