violetrose1922I have now watched the first episode twice and there are the several things that struck me. First, I really love Dean!
I liked several things, the opening montage was great, I loved how it jumped back and forth between his current life and his life with Sam. I thought it was bittersweet and liked the song they played with it. I also loved that when Dean first sees Sam he thinks he is in heaven, because of course his heaven would be to be anywhere with Sam. That made me happy. I also liked the interchange on the stairs with Dean and Lisa. I though that they chose a reasonable way to play the relationship. He wasn't all madly in love, but they did care about each other in an adult way. I liked that.
My thoughts on the overall show were surprisingly positive. I thought that showing that Dean looked for Sam but also moved on with his life was good. Bad things happened when the boys couldn't let go of each other. Sam saw that and asked that Dean try, Dean saw that and tried. I also understand Sam first going to check on Dean, then trying to give him that gift of normality. He was trying to do something nice for his brother. I like that plot development. But I like it when people actually learn.
I am very nervous about Sam though. I think he is Sam, but I am feeling a bad vibe from the Campbells. I am afraid he is being manipulated and it will be bad when it comes to light. I think he is trying to be more like Dean, not be Dean, but try and hold things at a bit of a distance. But what I love (and which may be just my random wishful thinking) is that Dean never really did that, he just tried to seem like he was. Because they never actually communicated, their thoughts and feelings about each other are often distorted.
I am a bit worried about the Dean/Lisa plot. I am not minding it, I think with good coherent writing that could be a good shot in the arm for the show. But my BIG LOVE is the boys together. I am not yet seeing how they can really be on the road hunting and being everything to each other if she and Ben are still in the picture. Dean would always be torn. I think maybe if bad things keep coming and she and Ben are at risk, then she could let him go and maybe that would work. It could also give a new sense of poignancy to the story since now he knows for real what he has to give up to be a hunter.
Anyways, just my thoughts right after my second viewing. All this optimism may change if the writers and showrunners do things badly. I am hopeful though that it will be OK. So I am now eagerly awaiting next Friday! Yea. It's back.
