roxyIt's kind of fascinating to see all the different feelings people are having about 7x17 ep. If I hadn't seen the show, I'd barely recognize it from some descriptions. I have my own feelings about it, and on the whole they're positive. I think the viewers were asked to fill in some of the blanks and that never goes well. I think we got shortchanged by the story being so compressed, there was a hell of a lot that could have been explored, and certainly I wanted to see more background on our friend. But a major plus to the ep was watching Sam fall to bits. JP did a fabulous job of that. Watch those scenes with Lucifer and then imagine that you've come across this Sam guy in the middle of an empty room, just you and him...
Mr. Pellegrino is really terrific to watch. He's got something about him that makes him an interesting actor, no matter the role. Really, they couldn't have chosen a better Lucifer. Watching those two together, acting off each other was a pleasure. On the other hand, watching Cas and Dean's scenes were not as pleasurable. There was a little feeling of off the entire time. Not sure if it was meant that way or not, but there was little chemistry in those scenes. Sad, because that was always a hallmark of JA and Misha's scenes, to me. Mind you, I might be a little harsh concerning them since they were so upstaged, in my opinion, by Luce and Sam.
Meg, she just keeps turning up like a bad penny or an unpaid bill. I've liked her in all her incarnations, there's something about this awful thing that remains more fascinating than Ruby ever was--well at least until we began to realize what bad news Ruby really was. I've liked both actresses to play the role, and that odd thing that this actress does with her voice, the odd inflection and what-not, I confess I like (boy am i in the minority there!) I think it's because I'm reminded of actresses of the 30s, and I'm not even sure why. It's this weird thing that makes me focus on her, to the point that I forgot to look at Dean! For minutes at a time!
So much happened too quickly in the end, but I think what happened was Cas took Sam's memories of hell, or maybe the immediacy of those memories. That's what I took the red veiny-transfery thing to mean. What that means in the long run to Sam and to Cas remains to be seen. I'm afraid Show's going to go with 'look sam's all better now', which would kind of suck, but it's one way they can get past everything that's happened to these guys in the last few years and maybe put them on a more equal footing again. But if it was me, I'd have had them bonding over sitting around and comparing their different versions of Hell, and you know what that means? Means it's damn good no one is paying me to write shit.
