My final quick reaction. I've drank a lot of wine, just to make it special (also, I just wanted another glass of wine).

So, I'll do my disclaimer, just to be extra sentimental: I've written this up after drinking a lot of wine and taking very crappy notes. Nothing is meant to be 100% accurate, but I do my best. Don't correct me unless I specifically ask you to. Also, I like to keep things as positive as possible here, so please don't comment unless you can balance your negatives with positives. 

And with that, let's get into the reaction... though, I'll do a little spoiler here: I liked it.
 

Like an echo in the forest... )



I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, but if you didn't, please remember my positivity rule - I know I kind of broke it myself last week, but I'm back on the positivity train tonight.

Supernatural has meant a lot to me over the years. I met the friend that I spend tonight with at a Supernatural convention in 2010... and it was through her that I met half my friends in this city. Supernatural also reintroduced me to my love of writing, and I've written two first drafts of two novels since then... one of which is actually halfway decent, and also 160k words, and one of these days I may actually get it edited. 

It's also given me immensely fun (for me) projects over the years. And while I know that I'm a whole year behind on my clothing catalogue, I plan to have the S15 Timeline up on the weekend if I can. 

It's been fun.

I will see you back here for rewatches as I continue to make my way through S14. I won't be done with Supernatural for a bit yet. ;)

But, this is indeed, my final Quick Reaction for Supernatural. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

.... so.....

... I'm not going to lie... I hated that. These are my least favourite writers, and it appears they wanted to go out with a bang - making sure to remind me of every single reason I hate them on their way out the door.

I know I have rules around here about staying positive, but I kind of feel like I don't want to summarize this one for you. I don't think I can summarize and not lose my temper and turn this into a rant. So, even though it's the penultimate episode (though now I'm confused about that), I think I'm just going to do lists:

No summary, just lists. )

Alright, everyone please give me more positives in the comments. If you liked the episode, I want to be happy for you.  ETA: Actually, I take it back, people liking this episode pisses me off more. If you liked it - I'm happy for you. But please don't tell me.

Yikes... how am I supposed to sum up this one based after taking bad notes and drinking multiple glasses of wine?!?11

I guess I'll just get into it...


Human disorder incarnate )

Very emotional episode. Let me know your thoughts!

Please remember that I like to keep this journal positive! So if you are furious and want to rant - please go elsewhere. Thanks!

Hello!!!

Jumping right in, because it's once again already 11pm, and I'm already tired.. this working until 7pm, having dinner, watching the show, and then writing it up, isn't easy to pull off every week - but I have a TRADITION DAMN IT.

Episode....

I was obsessed with fractals )

As usual, let me know what you thought in comments!

Hello!

It's already 11:30pm, so I'm going to get right to it...

But can she kill them with a pencil? )

 Hello!

Yes, yes, I know there were no rewatches on the weekend, even though I said there would be... but I was BUSY... I will do rewatches this weekend, respond to my AO3 comments, and I will also remember to email my mother and everything else I forgot to do last weekend.

Now, let's talk about the episode...

Too many cats... )

Let me know what you thought in comments!
 
hells_half_acre: (Confused!Dean)
Wow, this is a late night for someone who has work in the morning... let's dive right into it...

Come to me when things go wrong )

WE'RE BACK! With more quarantined reactions... but tonight, I DID have a glass of wine, because drinking alone is fine if everyone else is doing it. :P

Sadly, as announced on twitter today, this will be the last new Supernatural episode, until probably both Canada and California come out the other side of covid19. So, let's all do our part not to unknowningly spread this thing! Stay at home if you can, and keep 6 feet away from everyone if you do have to go out.

EPISODE....

I rant a little, but we still have a good time! )

Hello! It's been 3 weeks since I last posted here, and MY GOODNESS THE WORLD.

So, let's address a couple of things before we get into the episode:

1)My mother's surgery went fine and she's recovering at home, yay! I've flown back to Vancouver.
2)In a surprise turn of events, it turns out that I've been socially-distant my entire life and so I have had to make absolutely no lifestyle changes. The only thing that has changed is that I can now avoid my friends without worrying that they're going to take it personally.
3)Of course, it's not all great - I had to cancel all my March trips... the ones that were going to make it impossible for me to do rewatches until April at the earliest. The good news is that they were trips that I can do in the future when the world is better. The next thing I have planned is at the end of May, and I'm VERY MUCH HOPING that things are okay by then and the event isn't cancelled - because it's the only thing where it's my only shot at it.
4)The upside to having my trips cancelled though, and not seeing my friends as often as they'd like, is that I will indeed have PLENTY OF TIME for rewatches and working on the clothing catalogue. So, I'm going to be starting those back up probably this week (I spent all last week slacking, so now I'm bored of slacking.)

I hope everyone is staying well, and staying away from their 65+ parents and grandparents - please remember not to panic. Also, there is no need to hoard toilet paper, people. Please use your brains. This isn't actually the apocalypse. There is nothing wrong with the supply-chain.

Anyway, let's talk about an ACTUAL APOCALYPSE, and get into THE EPISODE....

Oh, I should say that because of the plague, I did not go to my friend's house tonight - and instead I watched a download. It also means that I didn't drink, because drinking alone on a Monday did not sound like a healthy lifestyle choice. So, I apologize if I'm not as entertaining... don't worry though, I still only took bad notes!

 Hello! Watching east coast and typing as I go, so hopefully this will be up early!

Let's go!

Under ze cut... )

Hello!

We're back to our regularly scheduled program here (and yes, I know I neglected to do rewatches this week - but I'll catch up somehow next week.) Anyway, our regular schedule means that I've been drinking and taking poor notes.... and this episode was more than a little bizarre... so let's do this thing...

Somebody caused my strife... )


Let me know what you thought in comments! And as this is the sort of episode that I could see people really not liking... please keep in mind the rule - for every negative thing you say, you have to say something nice. Shitting on things is more of a rewatch thing... for Quick Reactions, I prefer to stay optimistic and happy about the current season. Thanks!



hells_half_acre: (Crying Dean)
Just when I thought I was out....

...not that I really was. It's just that with things being so chaotic IRL at the moment, I found myself noticeably less enthused about the show. Case and point, I didn't bother going to my friend's place tonight for our usual Supernatural night - just because it seemed like too much effort (granted, we've also had a huge dump of snow in Vancouver and part of the problem was that I just didn't want to leave my house.)

But this episode has really pulled me back in!!! Let's talk about it under a cut....


EPISODE! )


Let me know what you thought in comments! I'm looking forward to next week!




hells_half_acre: (Worried!Sam)
So, unfortunately, my friend’s PVR messed up and she forgot to set in motion the emergency back-up protocol, so I missed the first 16 minutes of the episode. I’ll have to download it later just for timeline purposes, but in the interest of going to bed at a decent hour tonight, I’m going to first write up what I saw.

The guest star knocks it out of the park on this one... )


Let me know what you thought in comments! If I missed anything really crucial in the first 15 minutes that you want to discuss, uh... give me a synopsis, or let me know and I'll respond with my thoughts on it after I'm able to view it!

hells_half_acre: (Darkness Defines)
Hello!

Before anyone asks - yes, I know I haven't started S14 rewatches yet, even though I promised that I'd start them in November (after saying I'd start them in October.) I had a project due on November 30th that I ended up pulling a few all-nighters for, and then I wanted some time off. So, my aim is this weekend - let's all cross our fingers.

Under the cut! :) )


Let me know in comments what you thought of the episode! 
hells_half_acre: (Shocked!Dean)
WOOOT!

Those who know me well are probably already aware that I liked this episode - but LET'S TALK ABOUT IT THE USUAL LENGTHY WAY!

Can we actually have good things?! )

As usual, let me know what you thought! 

PS. Sorry I haven't started the rewatches yet. I've got an art project due on November 30th that I'm behind on, so likely that's what I'm going to be focusing on this coming weekend. If I can COMPLETE it this weekend, then I'll try to do rewatches next week... but if I can't, then rewatches will start in December.






hells_half_acre: (Shocked!Dean)
Hello!

You all know the rules by now. I don't think I have any updates for you.... I'm aware that I haven't started rewatches yet. I will get to them, promise. The DVD has been sitting next to my computer for a month now. Taunting me.

Anyway, tonight's episode was good and interesting - let's get to it!

My iPod mostly played instrumentals on the way home... so no random song lyrics for you... )

Let me know your own thoughts in comments!


hells_half_acre: (Sam strung-out)
It's Supernatural Thursday again! Woo!

As usual, watched while drinking and taking bad notes.... before we get going though, my review is that I really liked this episode!

Now let's talk about it...

I wake up scared; I wake up strange... )

And there we have it!! It was a really good episode!

Let me know what you thought in comments!!!!!




hells_half_acre: (Sam strung-out)
Hello!

Do I need a pre-amble? Probably not! Let's just do this thing...

Even babies raised by wolves know exactly when they've been used... )

Anyway, tell me what you thought in comments. Personally, I liked the blue plaid shirt that Sam was wearing at the end of the episode.


hells_half_acre: (Default)
We're back!

Watching live while typing, because I'm house-sitting for my friend who has a legit TV.

Let me know what y'all thought in comments!

(timeline notes: 2 days after 15x01, approx. 3 days, no change of location.)








hells_half_acre: (Bloody)
I'm BACK!

I do apologize for being so busy as of late. This reaction is going up pretty late in the night too, because I had VERY BUSY DAY.

Before we get into it though, I just wanted to mention that I HAVE ORDERED the S14 DVDs - they should be arriving tomorrow. So that means that rewatches will begin imminently. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing this year. Maybe similar to what I did last year, when I also couldn't figure out what I was doing. Because I'm so busy, they'll probably be favouring the short-side rather than the indepth reviews that I used to do - but hopefully ya'll still enjoy them.

Reminder about how Quick Reactions work: I've only seen the episode once, while drinking, and taking bad notes - all quotes are meant to be paraphrased and I'm not going to remember everything exactly. Please only correct me if the thing I got wrong is crucial to my understanding of the plot or character actions, or if I ask you to.

Let's get into this season premiere - it's the first of the last!

You think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head )
