Okay, so, feel free to throw tomatos at me
I thought this episode sucked. Like a hoover. Why, you ask?
1) Where the hell is the Sammy love? We got probably three full scenes with him, if that, which, okay you want to focus an episode on Dean? Fabulous, I fully support that idea, make sure you get some close ups of his freckles. But isn't the whole mytharc supposed to be (mostly) about Sam? At least, that was my impression, what with Kripke throwing those anvils at us from time to time. I understand Jared hurt his hand and that probably had something to do with his air time, but they do pick-up scenes all the time, they couldn't add him in a little bit more? Seriously, it was just his hand.
2) I don't even try to hide the fact that I dislike Jo at this stage. In the beginning, I was sort of, "Eh, whatever," about her, but now I just out-and-out don't like her. She's far from a Mary Sue (dude, I'm from the HP fandom), but there's something about her that bugs me. I think some of it might be the actress, actually, because I keep wishing the girl who played Jessica could have been her instead. Alona Tal's face...just, it makes me want to yell at her or something, I don't know. Anney and I spent most of the show capslocking at her, telling her to NOT GO DOWN THERE, and to STOP BEING SO STUPID.
3) The plot of this episode could have been so fantastic, guys--FANTASTIC. The first recorded serial killer executed right under them, taking pretty blonde things and hiding them somewhere inside the walls. So. Much. Potential. Squandered! We never get the history behind the MoTW, just a sort of slipshod, "bad, evil, bait, walls, kill. woo!" It felt half-assed, and it was definitely playing third fiddle to all the different Jo and Dean interactions.
4) That's another thing: sure, the main backbone of this show is characters relating to each other and being psychologically rich, but did we really need every scene that involved Jo and Dean to be so "im in ur face messin wit ur emotionz"? And the end? Wasn't really a shocker. Both Anney and I had it figured by by the knife scene, and I bet most of you did, too. Once again, it felt half-assed, like in the previous episodes, they'd had Ellen trusting the boys implicitly and then, boom, "oh wait, we can't do that, BIG FLASHY ENDING, GUYS!"
ETA: Haha, I just scrolled through my AIM window with Anney and I thought this was funny--
Dear Kripke,
I have a little song that I want you to listen to. It's from the play Producers, and it's called "Keep It Gay". Listen carefully, Teh Krip, and learn from the masters.
Ever Faithful,
Mel

Mel: Oh, not that's not conspicuous at all.There's more, but I really am not being articulate. So, in closing:
Anney: All the people are like, "ARE THEY LOOKING FOR TREASURE?"
Mel: Ha, listen to it beep. Even their detector is a fan of metal.
Anney: OH MY GOD.
