Supernatural - 301 - The Magnificent Seven



  • I loved Dean in this episode. I know some people think he's actiong out of charater, but I don't think he's any different. Of course he has a more laid back attitude now. His main goals in life have been acchieved; the YED is dead and Sammy is safe... well as safe as he can be.
    There were some amazing shots of Dean in this episode, especially when he opens the door right before he's knocked down by Isaac.
  • Bobby was awesome in this ep. The character just gets better and better. Loved it when he yelled at Tamera, loved him taking charge and was very amused to see him in a suit, which is something that's been on my wishlist actually. Though in my head that included a shave.
  • I liked Tamera and her hubby to some degree. Tamera I liked the best of the two, and I hope we'll get to see her again. I like meeting new hunters and having them pop up once in a while.
  • The new girl, or the blonde thing, as she's also been called. I don't know which one of the two she is, but I have to admit I didn't hate her. On the other hand she didn't have much screentime so I didn't get enough info to form a real opinion yet. Her slicing up the demons was cool, though I hated that it was done in slow motion, that would have worked so much better in regular pace, where the audience could get the same WTF feeling that Sam was supposed to have.
    I do have a little theory about her in my head already, but it's not worth mentioning until I see more of her in the show.
  • The demon killing blade is something that's been in my head since the Colt was revealed. And I'm not surprised that there is one. And in my head there is a sword as well. Demons have been around for a long time, would figure there would be various demon-killing weapons. 
  • Sam was cool too. Though part of me had to giggle when he ended up getting strangled, yet again.
  • The seven deadly sins, now that was really cool. But I have to admit that I thought they would be harder to get rid of. Part of me was thinking that they should be part of their own little story arc, not being killed all at once. I guess that's the only part of the episode I was l sightly disspointed about.
  • All in al I really enjoyed the episode, and I am so happy to have the show back. I can't wait to see what other nasty demons they'll meet.

30 Rock, season 1.

I wasn’t very impressed, and I’m honestly surprised by this show’s success. It grew on me a little towards the end, but all in all I think it relies on cheap laughs and some shocking events within the narrative to drive it forward, I doubt I’ll keep watching this one.

28 Days Later

I’ve seen it once before, it was basically my introduction to the genre, and I loved it. Not just because of the story and scares, but the style and cinematography. Very well made and thought through. Great zombie movie and well worth a look for any fan of the genre.

Happily N’Ever After

You know what? I liked it. It’s gotten pretty low scores, but I enjoyed it. It has it weaknesses and there is something lacking in the flow of the narrative, but if you just sit back and enjoy the good parts, laugh at the jokes you’ll have a fun time. I gotta admit I only checked this out because of the voice actors, but I had a fun time.

The Greatest Game Ever Played

I remember watching the trailer for this and thinking it looked like a really sweet film. And I was right; it’s a nice family film that everyone can watch together. There are some weaknesses, and the hindrances aren’t always that clear to the audience. The script could have used another re-write, but all in all it’s a charming little film, and you won’t feel like you’ve wasted your time by watching it.
