6.05 Live Free and Twihard (SPN)

This really isn't a review, just a silly question...

Could it be possible that the writers here haunted the same kind of fanfictions as I did? Seriously, how else would you explain that I got hurt! vulnerable! manhandled! pretty! and badass! Dean - all of which are my favorite "kinks" - in one episode? The only thing missing was a protective!Sam. But with the writer who coined the phrase "the epic love story of Sam and Dean" helming the show, I'm certain that'll come in due time.

I know Sam is a little hard to swallow (no pun intended) at the moment. However, as far as I'm concerned, the only Sam I don't like is the righteous! vulnerable! whiny! limp! Sam. So even when he acts douchey right now, I enjoy the drama. Besides, who can deny he wasn't a sexy badass bastard here?!

I'm a happy fan!girl this week.

But I have a couple of more questions for my eagle-eyed flist: did anyone of you get that weird vision/hallucination thing Dean had? All I got was it may have something to do with twins, or pairs of twos. I kept having this feeling that I've seen that guy who appeared to the little girls before, only I can't remember where or when. What do you think? Do you think he's the Alpha? But then who's that bald guy who appeared on the balcony after Dean came out of his spell? I could've sworn Dean hadn't encounter that dude in the nest until that moment. Was he the Alpha?

When Dean said the Alpha was communicating with the vamps using psychic power, my mind went Aha! I know Sam's psychic ability went away after he killed Lilith, but I wonder if it was gone for good. Could it be back when Sam came back this time? If so, I wonder if it wasn't Sam who psychically stunned the vamps when the lead vamp dude had Dean in his grasp. Because it really didn't make sense to me why the Alpha would save Dean by putting all the vamps to sleep in the nick of time, unless he happened to choose that moment to deliver his psychic message. That's one heck of a coincidence.

One last question: is there one Alpha for every type of monsters out there, or one Alpha for all of them. At first, my assumption was the former, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

I do think the guy in the vision was the alpha, yes. I just went back to watch that little piece again, and I just realized that one of the twins wasn't there at first, she just sorta appeared, kinda like a ghost, then they both bared their fangs. I don't know what that means. I don't know if she was a clone or what. It's all VERY interesting, and I think it's one of the best things the show has done so far. I hadn't noticed the guy on the balcony so I kept an eye out on him. The vamp that attacks Sam and Grandpa is bald too - but it looks like he has tattoos , and I'm not sure if the first guy had them or not, but I don't think so, so, not sure about that. But I'm more convinced that the alpha was the one in the vision.

Nice catch with the psychic ability. I was really just wondering why it had happened right there and then - but as for Sam being the one who had done it, I don't think so. Maybe it was just a huge coincidence - although, what Dean saw, I really don't think it was a new message to send out so, yeah. Maybe it was more like a connection to the "Alpha" - as in, he saw into the "Alpha"'s memories or something.

I still think of it as an Alpha for each species of monster.

Hee. The common consensus is the guy in the vision was the Alpha. I sill don't know who the bald guy is, or if he's even significant. But he seemed not quite belong to the nest, therefore out of place to me. And you are right, I thought about the guy who attacked Sam and Samuel outside too, but although he's bald, he looked like a thug, whereas the bald guy Dean saw looked more creepy.

The vision about the split cell, twin copy popping out of nowhere probably means multiply itself. So with the Alpha pointing outside, the message probably is "go out there and multiply yourself". Although I hope there's additional information in that vision because otherwise it would be rather redundent if the message is originated from the Alpha - surely the vamps in that nest heard that before.

Most likely you are right in the timing being a coincidence. Although I still wonder if Sam has came back with his psychic ability, probably even stronger than before. I can see that as a secret he wants to keep away from Dean. I'm so very looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully I learn more about what's going on.

Hmm, very curious. Wonder if the bald guy is really important or not.

Yeah, exactly. All of those vamps must have known that - especially the one who turned Dean, since he was 600 years old. I hope there's more to it too.

Sam coming back with strong psychic powers would be way cool. As long as they don't make him out as him having "good intentions" like before. Otherwise, it would be really neat.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I used to read your stuff before I even joined LJ, and I always enjoy reading your thoughts/opinions. You always really make me think, and I like that, so thank you. It's nice to have an account now and to be able to share my thoughts with you as well.

Oh sweetie, sorry I couldn't respond this earlier. Much of my yesterday afternoon and evening was devoted to help hubby packing and drive him off to the airport. :-(

Anyway, that is such a lovely thing to say, thank you! I for one is so happy you joined us at LJ. I love discussing the show with you and I really appreciate the fan arts you make!

I completely agree with you in regard to Sam's psychic power.

Oh no, that's okay! No worries! I know everyone replies when they can, if they can :)

Aww, you are so sweet, thank you ♥!! *hugs* I look forward to more Supernatural discussion with you, sweetheart ♥~

I think this season has a lot of potential, so I'm excited.
