Nightshifter: A Supernatural Episode Review

[sylvia_bond]

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode "Nightshifter" at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

"Hendrickson knows, man, he knows about how The Dad dragged those kids from pillar to post, raising them up in cheap motels and backwoods cabins, and just as I’m leaning forward for MORE delicious factoids like these, Hendrickson switches into opinion mode because he can’t figure out whether The Dad was a survivalist nut job, a Unabomber, or what. He rattles on to be insulting but simply doesn’t know and is just trying to get Dean’s goat. (Which he had, as they say, at hello.)  And Dean says, “You don’t know crap about my dad. He was a hero.” I love, love, love Dean in this scene, it might be my favorite scene in the whole ep  (besides Sam’s mandroid line), on account of Dean’s shoulders go back and his chin comes up and there’s a whole lot of love and pride running through him. Plus, yeah, I loved the factoids about where the boys lived when they were growing up. Show needs to give fangirls like me MORE like this, and right away, if not sooner. Otherwise I’ll just make stuff up and it’ll be a whole lot darker than what Show had planned."

On the phone with Hendrickson...

Sexy with flashlight...




Playing the part...




Wanting to keep Ron safe...





You brought a knife, DEAN?





Didn't want to come in naked...





Dither in the dark...





Sam is so screwed...




Dean is so screwed...

Which brings us to the last scene, the classic, oft-discussed scene with only one line of dialog and that way cool Styx song “Renegade.”

I thought you wouldn't mention the song, Sylvia. But you did. *happy dances*

The song was actually the highlight of the whole episode. It's truly a great episode. And of course, Dean's long and curly eyelashes. *giggles*

And Sam is a trained killer. WOW! That's creepy now that you wrote it. We saw him kill Gordon also with almost bare hands. The wire was just the extension of his strong hands. He would have killed Gordon even without the wire.

But I would love meet him anyway. *grins*

I think I would be publicly stoned if I'd not mentioned that song!!! AND, yeah, did you measure his dang lashes!!

As for Sam, I'd very much like to meet him as well, but not in a dark alley if he thinks I'm the enemy. Maybe in a nice coffee shop somewhere, yes?

Not in a dark alley of course! I would run like hell. In coffee shop or preferably in a book store. *grins*

Oh, no, never a dark alley no....coffee shop, library, grocery store. Anywhere where there's plenty of light!
