Also I need to take my mind off the impending "massive Doctor Who" news that is currently being teased. I've worked myself up into such a frenzy that nothing but the return of all 97 missing episodes will sate me! Supernatural fans don't know the pain of having missing stories!
The start of this episode feels very much like the start of a Friday The 13th movie. In fact I think Jared Padalecki was in one of those movies. The more recent and crap ones. I'm not sure if it's due to my heightened state of awareness right now but I jumped a mile when some girl running through the woods had her head cut off. In fact I think I jumped more than she did!
Less than 2 minutes in and there's already been a beheading! This is going to be a good one!
It turns out that the girl that was killed was actually a vampire so screw her then! Sam and Dean meet a fellow demon hunter. He knows all about them and commiserates them on the passing of their father. He seems like a decent chap! So therefore he'll either end up betraying them or dead...or both!
The guy (I don't think he has given his name yet!) insists that he be allowed to hunt the vampires on his own. Fortunately for him Sam and Dean do not respect his wishes and sneak along anyway, arriving just in time to save his life. Dean viciously attacks the vampire and uses a chainsaw to cut off its head. It seemed a little over the top but it had to be done I guess. Although Sam is shooting his brother a very accusatory expression so I'm guessing Sam is going to be all judgmental. I'm not sure what his problem is. Dean is just letting out some of his anger at his fathers death and surely that is better used against demons than against another human!
The guys name is Gordon. I just found out when Sam calls Ellen (from the last episode) for advice. She says she knows him and he is a very good hunter but they need to stay away from him because he's dangerous. Unfortunately it seems it might be too late for Dean as he has stayed out drinking with Gordon as they reminisce over the people they have lost.
Leanne, stop messaging me and let me get on with the episode!! :-) That's a joke that only one person will get but that's fine because she's most likely the only person reading this anyway! Haha!
Well this is a turn up for the books! One of the brothers is knocked unconscious and tied up...and it's not Dean! It's Sam! He is gagged by having a hankerchief tied though his mouth. I've never understood that. How does that stop you shouting??
It seems that this particular group of vampires have decided that killing humans is immoral and therefore they are going to live off the blood of animals. That would be considered a good thing by most people, although it feels too uncomfortably close to the the shite that is Twilight for my liking! At least I haven't seen a moody teenage girl in this episode yet!
It's actually quite interesting to see things from the vampires point of view. Some of their group has been killed (one of them by Dean) and so it suddenly becomes easy to sympathise with them.
Gordon mentioned earlier that he likes his job of hunting because everything is black and white between good and evil and now we have been immediately placed in a situation where there are shades of grey.
Sam manages to persuade Dean just in time to save the vampires. Gordon can't be convinced however resulting in punch up between him and Dean. Gordon is left tied to a chair at the end of the episode looking extremely pissed off. It would be interesting to see him return sometime in the future, seeking revenge.
Overall I really enjoyed this episode. As mentioned it was good to see it from another perspective for a change. Also the last scene of the episode was of Dean and Sam driving off with the camera sweeping upwards which, in my drinking game, means you have to instantly finish your drink.
There was some good developement for Dean as he has now come to realise that maybe not all the creatures they have killed actually deserved to die. I'm not sure if this is something that'll be carried forward into future episodes or was just a one off theme for this episode.
