growyourwings | Quick drive by 8x01 additional reaction... (spoilers) (Reply)

You know what? I dreamed about the show last night. It's been awhile since I've done that. And I thought a lot about it before falling asleep and it was the first thing I thought of this morning. And those thoughts were not about disappointment or anything. The thoughts were all about trying to figure it out and what might be coming.

So yeah, I think Show did good last night. Given where season 7 ended, it's not like it could truly be a squeeful moment, even with a brother hug. It's all about setting up the S8 storyline and hooking viewers into wanting to watch more. And I did see a lot of "I'm interested to see more" in online comments last night. I also saw a lot of WTF reactions as well. But that goes along with it.

And despite the WTF moments, I do think the episode was well put together. (Although Amelia's initial introduction, I mean, WTF?)

So looking forward to next week. I haven't watched the promo for 8x02. Not sure I will. I may want to be totally in the dark.

Edit: Additional thought - another thing I did notice last night and has been sitting with me ever since, is how deep the characters (Sam & Dean) both seemed. They seemed more mature and layered somehow. Not sure how to explain it. They were not cookie cutter Sam & Dean - which I think is a good thing. I'm beginning to think that reading all the teasers over hiatus may have colored my initial reaction too much - since those teasers had me a bit more worried than intrigued (bless Jared, but I need to avoid his teasers).

Did LJ change their posting screen format? I'm a bit disoriented here. No coffee yet. This post was meant to be Public, but if it wasn't, I'm having trouble seeing the option for Friends Only. Oh well. *goes for coffee*

Edit: Oh wait, found it. Like I said, no coffee yet. Have a great day folks! ;)
