I thought the "kids" were horribly written "you don't know what it means to be in love", "I don't want to be Piggy!" - dear god
I'm guessing you don't spend much time on Tumblr? *snerk*
That level of hyper-self-conscious dramatics is pretty par for the course in kids that age, especially when they're 'in love' and feel that they're somehow 'the other'.
I'm guessing you don't spend much time on Tumblr? I think tumblr collectively could have come up with much more convincing dialogue for teens! It rang very inauthentic to me, like 40-something writers desperately trying to sound hip. Not just cheese, but recycled cheese.
The only parts I liked were the professor deciding to attack the kid who kept falling asleep in his class and the students' observations on Sam & Dean. Would have preferred if the writer had ditched 2 of the kids and had one kid making a documentary on his/her idolized professor, who turns out to be an Alpha, filming Sam & Dean along the way. And we should have seen the awkward conversation where the guys discuss their year apart - would have been a great final scene.
That said, I'm glad people did like this ep because I was worried SPN would lose the ratings momentum from Arrow if everyone tuned out midway through!
