Season 6 Opens With Disappointment…
September 30, 2010So….I was very disappointed with the season opener for season 6. To get right to the point:
I HATE DEAN PLAYING HOUSE.
It doesn’t fit him, and don’t get me started on what’s her face. We know Dean will eventually go back into hunting, but not without some heartbreak. I don’t know what they will do to his woman and her son, but the mere fact that they’ll even have to waste time on that story line bugs me.
So Sam is back from Hell. Again, we aren’t sure what brought him back out or for what purpose, but along with him coming back, Mama Winchester’s daddy was brought back as well. We are informed that with all the resurrections going on, something big has to be coming which is why Sam decided to reunite with Dean after one year in hiding.
Although I respect why Sam stayed away for a year — their reunification was awkward at best and I don’t think they will ever be the same again. The vibe I got from their entire interaction was the vibe I would get watching a couple get back together after one of them cheats. Sure, they still love each other, but will they ever get that original spark back?
We see that Sam has developed a bit of his own identity apart from Dean — getting his own car and detailing it to his own liking — refusing to take the Impala that Dean no longer drives. I think this scene alone shows their co-dependency breaking once and for all. I suppose that is a good thing, but at the same time, there’s that awkwardness as if they are strangers now.
The highlight of the episode was Corin Nemec who plays a fellow hunter/cousin of the boys. I love Corin Nemec to pieces, and am SO excited that he’s apart of the show. Hopefully they keep him around for more than a few episodes, and hopefully he plays a bigger part.
As much as I want Dean to break away from playing house, no matter how it happens (if it happens), it won’t change the fact that he DID IT, and it just changed a lot of stuff for me.
