SPOILER!! Opinion/Reaction on 9x05


9x05
Dog Dean Afternoon
 
This episode was definitely better than last episode (only because of my bias of last ep) but I still didn’t quite enjoy the episode all that much. It had some good points, though, that I will point out in this.
 
First, what is up with the Game of Thrones references? Are they sponsoring the show now (like Windows 8 in 9x04 because of that oh so perfect view of it on the tablet)? It’s actually kind of annoying hearing it in two episodes now… Also, them mentioning Kevin made me wonder, when are we going to see the prophet again? I thought the bunker was the safest place for him so why are Dean and Sam allowing Kevin to stay in motels and be off in LaLa Land?

Once Dean and Sam started making the spell, I cringed because I knew what was coming up (*cough cough* bestiality scene *cough cough*). When the scene with the female dog did come up, I literally got sick to my stomach. Even my dad thought they went a little too far with the whole mind meld thing in that scene. I felt like puking both times a watched it (I watch the episode by myself and then again with my family). Now, I think the TPTB could have picked a better person to play the friend of the guy that got killed in the beginning. I had a really hard time understanding a word he was saying because he was mumbling so much. I have always loved it when either Dean or Sam come up with random codes to convince someone of something. This time was no different, even if it is the second time they’ve come up with a code for health inspections, I still loved it. The thing is, no one asks what those codes stand for… I know I would be asking what they stand for…

Okay, who can say seeing Sam scratching that dog’s belly was not cute? Anyone? I thought it was adorable and when Sam stopped rubbing, the dog complains. I loved it! So, why did Zeke heal Sam from the scratches but didn’t help him take out the creepy bad guy? He just lets Sam get knocked out (which has been happening a lot as of late… *cough* since 9x02 *cough*). It didn’t make much sense why Zeke would have allowed that to happen. Also, when I watched this episode with my family, my mom brought up a good point. Sam questions why the creepy bad guy asks him what he is, but doesn’t ask about how the gashes in his neck all of sudden healed. And if Zeke made Sam forget about the gashes, then shouldn’t Sam at least have questioned how in the hell he got all that blood on his neck? I mean… come on!

And Dean, well let’s just say I’m kind of getting tired of his complaining and worrying. It’s so redundant now. I want to see Dean not worrying and not complaining and not borderline on creepy codependency with his brother. I want something new with Dean and not just the same old thing. I mean, by the end of this episode, we get, and you guessed it, more Dean worrying! Now, to me, it looks like he’s worrying Zeke is going to take over Sam and not leave his body (which is what I was afraid of since the time Zeke possessed Sam). I have to admit, Dean “barking” at the mailman was a little funny. The funniest part in the whole episode, in my opinion, was when Dean pulled the gun out on the pigeon and oh my goodness, Sam’s waves. I thought the stiff way Sam waved at the nearby people was hilarious! I loved that scene. Personally, I don’t think Dean would have been able to cut that wire that fast. Not without moving it vigorously against the edge (which he did not) and even then it’s questionable.

I would like to end on this note. Once again, Dean touches the face of someone he dearly cares about as a sibling/friend. Cas has now officially been demoted to brother/best friend (though, when I look at gifs of Dean touching Castiel’s face vs. Charlie’s, vs. Sam’s, to me, it looks like Dean touches Castiel’s face a little more tenderly, but I think that’s Cockles doing, not Destiel). -sad face-
