Supernatural 3.02 - The Kids Are Alright

1. FREAKY. It's 2am. Don't do this to me. I am a chicken. But seriously, haven't been this freaked out in a while, even though I know exactly what's gonna happen.
2. Sam and Bobby are going behind Dean's back? Ooh, let's wait for the fallout when Dean finds out.
3. Gumby and Pokey.
4. "You don't know about Dean? The Dean? Best-night-of-my-night Dean?" Oh yes, we know.
5. Ben = mini!Dean. That guy is way too smart and way too cool and way too Dean.
6. Dean knocking over the trashcan after he did the math.
7. Ruby. She's actually slightly cool, in a warped kinda way. "Because I'm interested in you." "Why?" "Because you're tall."
8. Ha! Mary's little secret.
9. The girl, and the mirror image. FREAKY. I jumped.
10. Another creepy kid. Anyone sensing a pattern here.
11. Dean and Ben interaction. "Only bitches send a grown-up." Do eight-year-olds really say that nowadays? And I just knew that Dean was gonna teach him to fight. Hee. Ben can really kick some ass. He's got be Dean's kid.
12. And caught in the act. Guilty faces!
13. The hug is so adorable. You know something, Dean would be a really good father, the kind all the other kids are jealous of.
14. The faces in the mirror never get any less creepy.
15. Changelings. Awesome!
16. Oh no. Not Ben.
17. Oh yes. Ben.
18. The real estate woman!
19. Ben helping all the other kids first. I guess the hero complex runs in the family (if Ben is Dean's, that is). And the kid is pretty smart, using the jacket and the paint bucket.
20. Dean and Sam being tossed around, FTW.
21. So. Some biker guy.
22. "I swear you look disappointed."
23. "It's not my life, never will be. " "A guy in my situation, you start to think, you know, I'm gonna be gone one day, what am I leaving beside a car?"
24. "I would have been proud to be his dad."
25. "And it's not my life." That is the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces.
26. WOW. Ruby=demon. Didn't see the one coming. AT ALL. And she can help to save Dean. Whoa.

It's nearly 4am, but yes, I have to make a post. Goes to show how awesome this episode is. I like the last one, but something didn't feel right then. This one, in comparison, reminds me why I love the show so much.

First of all, CREEPY. I love the scary level of this episode. I haven't been this freaked out in a long time, maybe since Asylum. Ah, the good times. The teaser was very scary, perhaps because they were kinda dragging it out, and you're anticipating the blood and gore, but you just don't know when it would happen. Good job on that, Supernatural people. And the mirror images. Oh man. I nearly screamed at the very first one. Never got used to the ones after either. CREEPY, I tell ya.

Another Dean-centric episode, so obviously, we're gonna talk about Dean. We always talk about Dean. That last scene with him and Lisa, about his life? Killed me dead. See that vulnerability on his face? The disappointment? The resignation? Did you catch that sad nod after Lisa told him Ben wasn't his.? It was almost as if he was saying "Good for him. Being a Winchester sucks anyway. He's better off." He's afraid to leave any connections behind, afraid to have people grieve for him.

I hate that he can never say those things to Sam; he can never admit he has his regrets. Dean always wanted a family; he never got it, and it looks to him like he never will.

It almost seems to me, that this whole Dean-is-going-to-die-in-one-year issue is driving the brothers apart a little. Sam's working with Bobby behind Dean's back, and Sam never told Dean about meeting Ruby, or that little thing about their mother. Dean also seems awfully careful to avoid talking about his feelings with his brothers. But then again, Dean rarely talks about his feelings. Maybe it's just the lack of Dean/Sam interaction in this episode.

And about her. Yes, HER. Definitely not what I've expected. I re-watched the diner scene, and I realized how much she reminded me of Meg. Should have picked up on that earlier, but hey, Kripke sure pulled a fast one on us. I'm completely surprised at how he managed to keep that one under wraps. No spoilers on that at all! About her actually being a demon, well, I'm still unsure about it. At least she's not Jo 2.0, but is she Meg 2.0? That would be meaningless. However, she did want to help the brothers. And I do like her bringing back Mary's storyline. I was a little disappointed with last season's finale because the death of YED was anti-climatic. After all the hoopa with Sam's destiny, I was craving for much more than what the finale offered. That little thing about Mary should bring the mythology right back on track. As for Ruby herself, I'm still reserving judgement. Need more information. What's her role in the story? Is she really a good demon? How is her relationship with Sam going to develop? (Yeah, Kripke, not a love interest? I'll just wait and see.)

One last point, children are creepy.

4.30am. Need sleep. Now. Damn, I miss doing these long Supernatural reaction posts. Welcome back, everyone.

Jared, I love that expression on you.

Can you imagine, opening your door and seeing this?

Caught!

HAHAHAHA. I'm just so amused by this.

Oh hi, pretty boy.

YES SAM. OMFG is the right reaction.

LISA IS LYING. BEN IS TOTALLY DEAN'S CHILD. IT MAY TAKE ME A FEW WEEKS TO SHUT UP ABOUT THIS.

Oh, thank you for the info on Gumby and Pokey because I had no idea what he was talking about (but I still laughed, because I'm a dork).

I can't wait for Sam to reveal the things he's finding out (or might find out) about their mother. Dean's going to be all "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU, MOM WAS PERFECT" and Sam's going to be sad. Poor Sam.

Also, yes, very nicely creepy episode.

Well, it has been 2 weeks, you shutting up yet? NOT FOR ME. BEN IS DEAN'S.

I didn't know about Pokey too, and I laughed too. Dean has that effect on people. Hee.

There were spoilers out there for Ruby, but I'm still very, very pleased in the direction they're taking her character. I hope she becomes more like Angel was in the Season 1 of Buffy and just shows up to help them out here and there.

I LOVE your header, BTW. :)

Well then I'm glad I didn't dabble that deeply in SPN spoilers. The twist was a pleasant shock, if there was such a thing. Still not sure how I feel about Ruby, but I'm definitely liking how it's going.

Thanks! I love it too. =)

I don't like that it's kind of driving them apart. Noos.Because that's what makes the show so ... great.:)

Ruby is a demon that wants to help Sammy.It's weird in it's self. There's something Ruby must want in return though. I fear that.

Ohh I know. Mini Dean. I still say Ben is Dean's.I don't care... I'm not in denial I swear it.

Yep, but I think my worry was unfounded. They were all better in the next episode, weren't they? =)

Yeah, I definitely think Ruby is hiding something from Sam. It's gonna get interesting.

I say the same thing. BEN IS DEAN'S.

Yeah. I agree.

We'll have to wait & see.

Your reviews are made of win! When I have time, probably Monday here at work I will be linking to this since you didn't say a single thing I didn't feel the same way about.

I was melting down on The Dean! I'm utterly convinced that Kripke & Co love Deangirls the best. :D They must, cause just GUH!

Thanks! I'm really glad you like my reviews. It really means a lot to know someone who thinks like I do. ♥

Yeah, this episode got me back into the swing of things -- for some reason the premiere just didn't put me there. I couldn't even watch the opening scene with the saw -- I knew it was going to be a creepy ep from that moment on. I didn't see her being a demon coming at all! I'm not entirely sure if they'll make her a "good" demon or what, but I am actually looking forward to see how they'll bring it all about.

I agree. The first was not too bad, but this one was better. Love the scary stuff.

Not too sure about Ruby either. I suspect she's using Sam in some way. Demons = evil.

Ruby FTW! I hope she doesn't change her human host anytime soon. I like the actress. WI wonder if we would get any Dean and Ruby interaction, that would be cool. But dean would be mad.

I don't think the actress will be changed. I think she was signed on for quite a few episodes, if not the entire season.

Hm. Dean and Ruby interaction. Didn't think of that. It would definitely be cool.

LISA IS TOTALLY IN DENIAL. HE'S DEAN'S, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

& I'm pretty much in agreement with everything you said, though I'm still on the fence about Ruby. I sort of like her & I think that her being a demon could actually be interesting, but if there's even a HINT of a Sam/Ruby thing? Uh, no, I'll be very annoyed. (mostly because I can't see Sam WILLINGLY entering into a relationship with her when he knows what she is, no matter how pretty she is - he HUNTS her kind, he doesn't bang 'em! :D)

& yay, screencaps! ::scrolls up to gaze at the pretty::

OH YES I AGREE.

I'm still waiting for more information about Ruby. She does have the potential to be very interesting. I'm still waiting for some more big revelation about her character.

so i posted a few thoughts too - but i didn't see it coming that MysteryGirl was a demon either. wow! and of course she'd play the Dean-card. i've always said she's got ulterior motives out the wazoo.

and Dean? i'm pretty conviced that Lisa lied about Dean not being Ben's father. i think she convinced herself Dean wasn't, but didn't think she'd ever have to actually tell Dean that...

I'm still waiting for more ulterior motives to pop up. This girl can't be trusted! But I have to say, she's a very interesting addition. Not too bad, Kripke.

I think so too! But I guess we'll never know. Or will we?

heheh oh yeah, me too. and then when she's all done, what's Sam's final price going to be?

the more people have commented and stuff about Lisa and Ben; and Dean - i'm thinking no, Dean's not Ben's dad - but Kripke did what i think he wanted - got us all talking about it.

Aw, I haven't really thought about it too much. STILL IN DENIAL. But honestly, I think if Kripke had revealed that Ben is Dean's kid, even if it's a subtle revelation that only the audience knows, I'm sure half the fandom will freak out. But yes, Kripke definitely got us talking.

hehhe... half of the fandom freaks for no good reason these days!

Oh yes, heard there was a wank again? As if this fandom is not notorious enough for its craziness.

LOL... pretty much. *sigh*

Great ep!
Unfournately Ruby being a demon was ruined for me by some icon maker so I didn't get the 'oh-snap instant-goosebumps' at her reveal..=/
I can't believe that kid's not Deans, for some reason I felt like she was lying and then she kissed him and I thought AH-HA she was! but nope...
Sammy's going end up going darkside a little to save Dean which idk how I feel about...I refuse to read spoilers so idk if that's close or not..
As happy as I am that Ruby's not like Jo I don't want her to be like Meg either which she did remind me of too..ah well I guess we'll see...♥

Aw, that sucks. I hate getting spoiled.

Yup, I still think Ben is Dean's, but I guess we'll never really find out for sure.

I haven't been reading spoilers that much too, but I think you might be right. Well, for one thing, he is half-trusting a demon. He could go all dark side on us. Hm.

The faces in the mirror never get any less creepy
True, each time I was busy looking anywhere but at the screen ^^

It almost seems to me, that this whole Dean-is-going-to-die-in-one-year issue is driving the brothers apart a little.
It does look a lot like it but this could actually turn out to be interesting and the reconciliation may be all the sweeter? *keeps fingers crossed*

Can you imagine, opening your door and seeing this?
fkdhgilknehglkJJ

It still creeps me out, thinking back.

And I sure hope so! That would be really good.

I don't care what she says, the kid is Dean's. It's so OBVIOUS. ^^

Oh and, amazing episode. Really. I might fall in love with the show all over again. :)

I AGREE. =D

Oh you better.

lmao I picked a few of the same caps as you did :D only mine are from pressing PrtScr again and again hehe

you jumped too! yay, I totally freaked!

double shame so awesome and Dean would be a kickass father. It's the main reason I love kid!fic so much and ooooh was dying for Ben to be his son, SO MUCH

hehe sam's "lie" face was brilliant :D

*heart is also on the floor from Dean's not my life moment. I completely agree about the brothers being driven apart by this whole thing and it's worrying that maybe they'll only open up when the shit hits the fan, that is unless Ruby pulls through and saves the day (ruby ftw also, I didn't know the demon spoiler prior but it seems my flist did lol)

last time I got this freaked (omg the spine ripping with the power saw made me queazy lol!) from faces being screwed up and wrong was ELAC for that bit (you know what i mean) and I agree, Asylum really freaked me out on the first watch with Ellicot rushing past unseen and so on. oooooh I like getting freaked out!

Oh you should use VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/). It's a video player that allows you to capture screencaps very easily. It's a light program, and really easy to use.

Damn, I really want the brothers to open up and not hide things from each other, but then again, if they did, they won't be the Winchesters. Hee.

Getting freaked out is fun. =D

I actually downloaded that a week or so ago since wmp wouldn't play a film, but I didn't realise there was a way to do it :) just used snapshot on a stargate atlantis episode :D

definately true, the bottling things up and then EXPLODING is a Winchester trait well known throughout the galaxy

You know something, Dean would be a really good father, the kind all the other kids are jealous of. ~ YES HE WOULD. And the thought just makes my heart kinda happy.

Awesome review... YES to just about everything you said. : )

Of course he would! =D

I totally agree in all of the points!!
Without a doubt my favorite thing in the episode was the interaction between Dean and Ben, and the idea of Dean probably having a child, that was the most adorable thing ever!! And he totally tore me when he said : "This is not my world" and "I'd be proud to be his dad" Awww Dean *hugs him tight*

Aw, yes, they were adorable. Some stuff was bordering on cliche, but they were just too adorable for me to care. Oh Dean.
