Am I weird that I didn't think the teddy bear was all that funny? I mean, it was at first but then it just got...creepy, and awful, and I was horrified when it tried to blow it's brains out and couldn't. I didn't laugh at that point. And that horrible love match, and the little girl's parents LEFT HER. *ALONE*.
I think I over thought that epsiode.

11/9/08 04:22 am (UTC)The teddy was totally disturbing. The parents in Bali...the wishing well could have made them forget about the girl. For all we know, it zapped them to Bali without any sort of warning.
The love match...well, it was kind of what I expected. If you wished for someone to love you like that, it's what would happen if it was a bad wishing well. I figured the girl would go after the guy, but it made sense that she'd go after Sam instead. I'm just surprised she didn't go after Dean too.
Then Dean at the end. *sniffles* DEAAAAANNN!!!!!

11/9/08 04:28 am (UTC)I thought the teddy bear was funny initially, then it was fantastically absurd. I "got" the humor, but it wasn't a laugh-out-loud kind of humor.
I also couldn't snap back between hearing Sam talk about how everyone should be miserable because "that's life" and the humor. I actually like that Supernatural is trying to make its humor more complicated, though. It doesn't always work for me, but I like that they push things and experiment.
On the other hand, i do agree with the other commenters who have said that the "love relationship" was really sickening and didn't get the attention it deserved. It was really all about Ted Raimi and how it wasn't working for him, not at all about the woman. :/
In happier news, I just posted a Crusoe picspam of very pretty boys in my journal. Enjoy and jooooin me in Crusoe! *waves hands magically*

11/9/08 04:32 am (UTC)ah...you know I love you like crazy, right? But Crusoe...I tried, I did but it's not meant to be. *sheepish grin*

11/9/08 04:59 am (UTC)It took me two seasons to get int SPN, too. But with the incest, I feel like there was a good reason.
Speaking of... I've become embarrassingly NOT bothered by the incest in fanfic. Unless it gets a little fetishized, then yuck. Still working up the nerve to manip for it, though. Maybe.
(no subject)
11/9/08 05:11 am (UTC)Yeah, as long as it's fic, I'm pretty good, but a lot of folks just...make me wonder. Or squint. Or recoil from my screen like it's a poisonous snake.
I'm very much hoping that you will manip for SpN and it totally doesn't have to involve the boys naked with each other at all.

But where's the fun in that??!
Seriously, I've been doing these stargate challenges and have been playing with new styles, so maybe I will do non-smexing manips!

11/9/08 04:31 am (UTC)The girl's parents didn't intentionally leave her alone, you know. It's not like they knew they'd actually end up in Bali by wishing to be in Bali. I actually thought she was coping pretty well for an 8-year-old on her own, though I wish Sam and Dean had actually escorted her to her neighbor's house rather than leaving her alone.
And the "love match" was basically extended date rape, even if he didn't intend it that way initially, so I definitely didn't find that part amusing!
(no subject)
11/9/08 04:44 am (UTC)The love match was unsettling, but it struck me exactly the same as the teddy--it was easy to be played for laughs on the surface but obviously it was a horrible thing in reality. That unbalanced, completely consuming love was just the kind of thing an emotionally immature, socially stunted and self centered man would wish for.
What if God turned out to be an 8-year-old girl who only created us for tea parties? I might attempt suicide, too
YES! There came the horror for me!! And the stuffing--crap, I flinched like it was blood. Mind you, I did like this ep, it was just the giant creepy ass suicidal teddy, it was...*brrr* And maybe this one just kind of trotted my own fucked upness out on parade. *G*
Dean as always was hotter than a hot thing. :)

11/9/08 05:25 am (UTC)The thing that bothered me more was how, at the end, she just walks off like she's got a case of the convenient Smallville amnesia. Nobody else seemed to have forgotten the wishes that affected them, but she just looks at Ted and says, "Do I know you?" WTF?! Have a reaction, please! Call the cops, kick him in the balls, give him a patented Lana Lang "I can't believe you did that to me" speech, do *something* other than blink vacuously and wander off passively. No more than it affected her, you'd think he'd wished her out of thin air. Chalk it up to Edlund, I guess.

11/9/08 05:37 am (UTC)I think that would have made that bit so much better! It's what I expected.
(no subject)
11/9/08 05:16 am (UTC)The little girl seemed okay, actually - i imagine the parents, being whisked off to Bali without clothes or money were less than okay.
The 'love match' was icky.

11/9/08 06:10 am (UTC)I wonder when Dean actually remembered Hell? Or did he always recall everything? Maybe it came back gradually, but I hope they expand upon it a little. I knew from the first shot of them sitting in that horrible theme restaurant, Dean drinking like a fish, that nothing good would come of this episode. Sad, sad, sad, and very unsettling. Glad I wasn't the only one. . .
(no subject)
11/9/08 02:19 pm (UTC)It made me laugh out loud in spots but yeah, it was sad--and now I'm thinking it was a lot cooler than I'd originally thought.
thank God for taping!
*HUGS HUUUUUUUGS*
wonder when Dean actually remembered Hell?
I'm thinking he always remembered, but they didn't really give any sign of it until this ep. Unless I missed something which means now that I have to view all the eps I have saved--darn it. It's a filthy job, but someone has to do it.
