Supernatural S01E04 Phantom Traveler

I didn't remember what this episode was about from the name but after the first two minutes I remembered.

The place episode. Confession: I love flying on planes. I love the take off, the little safety routine dance the attendants do, the crappy movies, the screens on seat in front of you, the little table that folds out of the chair, the little kid kits they give out with colouring stuff and I EVEN LIKE THE FOOD. Everything is miniature and fun and exciting. I actually would prefer turbulence to any roller-coaster any day.

The whole episode was a bit boring to be honest. The best parts were the brotherly bonding and Dean comic relief. I really don't want to review this because there wasn't really much for me to review. Also that thing at the end when they find out that their dad is giving their number out to strangers in need on a voicemail intro thing.

OH! There was that creepy fog that looks like it came from an episode of Lost. Or did Lost copy it? Which episode/series came first? Man this was a LONG time ago.

Supernatural S01E02 Wendigo

I fell for the first scene. It was cliche and I considered the fact that it might be a dream. But I got sucked in anyway.

So this episode the search continues for the brothers' father and ends up just saving a family who were in a similar situation. They lost their brother when he went camping and always kept in touch in some way. Until one day he just stops and they want to find him. Dean empathises with this and he wants to help them. That and the fact that he was accustomed to defeating evil on a daily basis to save others.

Sam however, wants to move on once he realises that their father wasn't there. He didn't care about the family or the wendigo. He never let himself really mourn Jess's death and so his little revenge vendetta thing is overtaking his mind, instincts and morals. First off he wants to go straight into the forest rather than investigate unusual happenings which confuses Dean. Then he wants to abandon an obvious dangerous situation for his own sake. 

It was only until Dean convinced Sam that it was wrong and what happened was unfair. He promises Sam that they'll find their father and the demon who killed Jess and their mother. On the way they'll just continue to bring down as much evil as they can. Which lightens the moment.

• Not much to say about this episode....

Supernatural S01E01 Pilot

I forgot how generally creepy this was. You can see me jump when that bird flew out of NO WHERE at the house.

I vividly remember the first half of the episode. And can I just say OMFG LOOK HOW YOUNG AND SMALL AND CUTE THEY ARE HERE. I mean I haven't actually seen any the later episodes in season 6 or 7 but I've seen gifs and images on Tumblr. And they're baaaaaaabieeeeeeeessssssssssssss  heeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeee.

So the whole purpose of this episode was to set up the premise of the show, the main conflict for this season and as a device to get the brothers to once again go hunting together. IN THE MOST TRAGIC WAY POSSIBLE.

Obviously the beginning is to show how Dean, Sam and their father got into the "business" of hunting demons: to find the one that murdered their mother. But when we fast forward we see that Sam has left that life behind in order to pursue a "safer" and more normal life. Going to law school, a stable relationship and scoring amazingly high on his SATs. The score is high right? I don't know, I'm Australian, I don't know how these scores work. So it's understandable why he's reluctant to go with Dean when he shows up in the middle of the night all cute and sarcastic and big brotherly.

Their whole process on how they investigate and destroy the demons is set out really nicely in here. They look for patterns in mysterious deaths/happenings, research folks and legends that would fit the criteria, pretend (and fail) to be fake cops to investigate the most recent occurrence of supernaturality (supernaturalness? supernaturalnesseanwovnjnvfvf) and kill whatever it is.

We also see Dean confront Sam about who Sam is. Does he really HAVE to be a demon hunter though? Why CAN'T he have a normal life? Just because he was raised to do something, doesn't mean he really has to go forward with it if he doesn't see a good future or happiness in it. But then his expression shifted when Dean mentions how many lives they saved and I think that's what hits home for Sam. Lawyer's save lives....sort of? Right?

Anyways the Woman in White wasn't creepy as much as annoying. You know what was creepy? HER KIDS ON THE STAIRS. I seem to have issues with scary horror kids. I don't know why.

And then we reach the end. Sam comes home ready to finally really start on his new, normal life only to find his girlfriend murdered on the ceiling in the same fashion as his mother. Of course he doesn't remember his mother's death but he got something from it. He understood. The reason why he left the hunting life was because he couldn't understand his father's obsession with finding the demon that killed Mary and felt that it was selfish of him to let it take over his life. When he realises it was the same thing that killed his mother, he understood what it felt like and what it meant to his father to find this thing: justice and revenge.

Any adventure or mission that is motivated only by those will never ever end well. Anyways, excited to rewatch more!

Predictions for Sons of Anarchy, Supernatural and Game of Thrones (novel)

Ok. So this is going to be me making a complete fool out of myself. I can see myself in the future laughing incredulously at past me already. 

Sons of Anarchy.
Let me just start off by saying: I have no idea what this is or could be about. I've heard that it was amazing. And that's about all. I don't know any plot points, I don't know any characters or names. Someone had to accidentally mention it was about bikies for me to know that. I haven't even seen any tumblr gifs or graphics about it. So here are my blindly made predictions about Season 1, or the series in general:

• There are at least some attempts of anarchy
• I’m guessing that they’re not literal sons/brothers, but like, brothers in spirit? JC....
• Bikies is the only clue I got from a friend. I actually didn’t even know that. 
• Guns
• Men
• Shit man, I don’t know. I KNOW NOTHING!
• Tig. 
• Apparently tears shall be shed. Or endlessly flow. Forgot which one
  

Yeah talk about unprepared.....

Supernatural

To be fair, I've seen this season and remember half the episodes. So it isn't really fair for me to try and predict anything about this. 

Game of Thrones

Everything I know about this is from tumblr and friends. So these are predictions based solely on the television show which will probably sound ridiculous and weird when applying it to the novel. Here I go:

• People wanting to be THE king and/or queen? Of everything? 
• So apparently favourite/loved characters will be ripped away from you
• The hated ones somehow survive
• There's a dragon lady who can talk to them??
• There's a kid that everyone hates and wants to bitchslap
• Nudity and incest
• There's a throne....
• I feel like an idiot writing this. I’m pretty much all done
• There’s going to be a lot of snow
• Apparently Winter is coming. I don’t know if it actually arrives any time soon. Is it a metaphorical winter? Does time pass differently in this realm which means it takes 10 years for a literal winter to arrive? I DON’T KNOW. I’M GOING OFF TUMBLR GIFS AND I’M RUNNING OUT. I STARTED PANICKING BECAUSE I STARTED RUNNING OUT AFTER INCEST.
• Swords. I’m desperate at this point.
• Brief moments of happiness is followed immediately by tedious extended periods of grief and death

Yeah....so lets get to it!
