My very late reaction post to SPN 7x18 (Or: Never Trust A Big Butt And A Smile"

[verucasalt123]

I figure everything to say has probably already been said, but I haven't read any other posts about it since I just watched the show.




OK, so Garth, the slow-mo BAMF montage, all of that at the beginning of the ep - so much love. Never trust a big butt and a smile. It's excellent advice for anyone, and we should all be thankful to Bell Biv Devoe for sharing it. And yes, I know most of you were babies when I was shakin' my ass to that song at the high school dance after the football game while I waited for my boyfriend to get out of his shoulder pads and make out with me in the backseat of his mom's Ford Escort.

Anyway. I like Garth. There. I said it.

This week's monster was creepy and scary and our guys had to get inventive with finding a way to kill it. And they got silly and drunk. All of these are things that I love about this show and episodes like this remind me why I went head over heels into this fandom to start with. I know some folks weren't all that impressed last night. But this is what I started watching for - these two boys, intermittently dealing with emotional issues and angsty stuff while at the same time killing scary monsters. And that's what I got with this episode. So, excellent. I'm happy.

I knew the ghost Bobby thing was coming, and I was dreading it, and I did not like it. I think Bobby Singer had a proper send-off and bringing him back like that is not what I wanted to happen, but maybe they'll make something interesting and cool out of it.

So, I have no big flails or !!!!!!!!!s or ALL CAPS, I just still have all my love for SPN, whichever direction it ends up going :)

You know, I've never been a huge Bobby fan. And then his ghost showed up and I was "Bobby!!!!!!" I guess I liked him better than I thought I did.

I always loved Bobby :)

I thought that it was a great episode. Garth is hilarious and yes, I remember that song well. ;D

Yay! I was hoping people would appreciate the BAMF-Garth soundtrack!!

I was laughing and bopping the whole time. ;D

I love Garth and hope he is in some other episodes as well.. the beginning was amazing and funny..

I loved the Ghost Bobby and I wanted it to come and it did.. I think Dean needs to resolve his issues of loss by having ghost bobby there, to be able to actually say good-bye and not just lose the ones he loves completely for a change. You'll see it is going to be all good.

I really do hope so. It seems like there is some issue there, like the boys have both tried to contact Bobby to see if he's there, and Bobby wants them to see him, but they can't - hopefully that will be explained.
