As the subject says, I missed all of you! And of course, regardless of my complaining, man did I miss Supernatural! Maybe it was the Hellatus, but I certainly enjoyed the season 11 premier. I haven't read any of the forums or any reviews, and I have only watched the episode once, so I do not have a fully formed opinion yet...
Sooo why would I bother posting anything, right? Well i'll get to that in a second! Hold on, geez! I have to say, I love how Dean acknowledged the kookiness of everything by stating how he killed Death "hours ago." Obviously I'm happy Crowley got away, and it was very amusing that he ..um..waited(?) to make that phone call to Hell. I LOVE the prospect of bringing the cage (Michael or more likely Lucifer) back into the equation.. Finally, I think it is sort of interesting that Dean is bonded to the Darkness, and I am choosing to overlook the fact that he is again hiding something from Sam...
Now why I posted- If anyone remembers last season, I was on here complaining a lot about the Darkness. I thought it was something the writers came up with on the fly, and sounded too much like the First Evil from Buffy. Well.....lol...Okay, so it looks like I was right that it would spread and infect people, not to mention that it would be able to appear in different forms. Not gonna pat myself on the back too much, Lord knows there's plenty i've gotten wrong regarding this show...
I wanted to share a thought I had while watching the episode though. Yes, the Darkness still reminds me of the First. However, it more closely reminds me of the First having a child with the smoke monster from Lost....(I could also throw in a Smallville season 10 reference but i digress) i always wondered why Lucifer, err I mean Jacob couldn't let the Man in Black off the island, and now after several years, Supernatural has apparently answered the question! We would all be running around pseudo-zombies with black veins. Good to know.
Lol..I don't know. I apologize for wasting anyone's time that is reading this. I just wanted to share my thoughts somewhere. I found it very interesting how much the Darkness mirrored the Smoke monster (and the First, but I'm not gonna harp on that.) With all that said, I feel like this season could still be very good. All that matters is EXECUTION. If they keep the brothers on the same page, provide us with compelling, yet simple storytelling, this season could be a success (and let's be honest, SPN is due.)
So yeah, I'm happy with the beginning of season 11, I plan to stick around and be part of the community, and I hope to interact with everybody in the coming days.weeks.months. Cheers!
