raloriaThese are just my first impressions of this episode. My full-length review with caps will be posted later. This just gives me a chance to express my initial thoughts about the episode and touch on a few highlights.
With each of these First Impressions posts I'll include 2 cropped caps from the episode. One of Dean and one of Sam. I decided to do something different and make them b&w.
Consider these fanart. If you take either of them, please give credit. :)
I'm not too sure about the fanart this time...doing it on the Mac and all. The caps I made are not the greatest, but they do look rather nice in b & w. :)
Note: I did something different this time. Some of these notes were done via laptop during the initial showing. I then filled out the notes with a second viewing. So some of this is going to be very brief and other parts more in depth. Hope you enjoy it until I do my big review!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yes!...CBS Christmas special logo! *gets all nostalgic*
Seattle...yaay!
Those are some heavy reindeer...heh.
Love the special title card bein' all Christmasy...awesome!
It starts out as an ornament that shatters into fire...cool!
Ypsilanti, Michigan....huh? How would you even pronounce that?
Dean & Sam as FBI agents...*guh*
Sam uses a MacBook pro!!! Woot!
It's weird how Sam knows about a movie this time instead of Dean.
That painting all along the back wall of the motel room is pretty.
Dean: So, this is your theory, huh? Santa's shady brother?
Sam: Well, I'm just saying, that's what the lore says.
Dean: Santa doesn't have a brother. There is no Santa.
Sam: I know, you're the one who told me that in the first place, remember?
~ awwww...*pets boys* that sad look between them....
Gotta love that enthusiasm in Santa's Village as the reindeer guy passes elf guy..."hey" "hey" LOL
Aw, c'mon Sam. Don't be such a downer! No wonder Dean calls him a Grinch. LOL
Flashback:
* Uncle Bobby (awwww!)
* Kinda weird to hear the Dean actor's voice be lower now
* And so it begins: Sammy: "Nobody ever tells me anything."
* Dean really doesn't wanna talk about mom. His harsh reaction is kinda weird though and a bit overblown.
Dean: What are you looking for again?
Sam: Um...lore says that the Anti Clause will walk with a limp and smell like sweets.
Dean: Great. So we're looking for a pimp Santa.
~ LOL...oh, Dean!
That Santa with the evil laugh seriously creeps me out.
Elf: Welcome to Santa's Court. Can I escort your child to Santa?
Dean: No. But actually, my brother here, it's been a life long dream of his.
Elf: Sorry, no kids over 12.
Sam: No. He's just kidding. We only came here to watch.
Elf: Ewww.
Sam: We didnt mean that we came to...thanks alot Dean, thanks for that!
*Dean laughs.*
~ Heehee! Sam walked right into that one. And Dean just let him. :D
LOL...Seriously..I love how they completely come to the wrong conclusion about this Santa guy. He's old, guys! And he's been sitting there who knows how long with kids coming to sit on the same knee! Heh. Plus he's obviously snoggered. But yeah, like Dean said...they can't take the chance.
Dean: Hey Sam?
Sam: Yeah?
Dean: Why are you the boy who hates Christmas?
~ LMAO
Dean: What?
Sam: Nothing. It's just that Mr. Gung Ho Christmas might have to blow away Santa.
It's hilarious when the guys end up singing "Silent Night"....and badly! They don't even know all the words! LOL!
Oooh....that's just...wrong! So creepy. That kid's gonna need some major therapy. Love it when scary-Santa goes for the cookie instead of the kid. Heh. There's only so much you can show on TV. Killing a kid like that would not be good TV.
My God, but the boys look sharp in those suits!
Dean: Wreaths, huh? Sure you don't want to ask her about her shoes? I saw some nice handbags in the foyer.
Sam: We've seen that wreath before, Dean.
Dean: Where?
Sam: The Walsh's. Yesterday.
Dean: I knew that. I was just testing you.
~ Heh...yeah, right, Dean. ;)
Some Dean hightlights...
- Jewish Easter Bunny
- Lap dances
*gigglesnorts*
Store Guy: Can I help you boys?
Dean: I hope so. We were playing Jenga over at the Walsh's the other night and uh well, he hasn't shut up since about this Christmas wreath. I don't know, you tell him.
Sam: Sure. It was yummy.
Store Guy: I sell alot of wreaths, guys.
Sam: Right, right. But you see, this one woulda been really special. It had green leaves, white buds on it, might been made out of meadowsweet.
Store Guy: Well, aren't you a fussy one.
Dean: He is. *laughs.*
~ *giggles*
Dean: Did you sell'em for free?
Guy: Hell no it's Christmas. People pay a buttload for this crap.
Dean: That's the spirit.
~ heh.
Oh, man....another brotherly moment...*cries*
Sam doesn't wanna have Christmas because he can't knowing Dean's going to be dead next year. *sobs*
Flashback:
* Heh. Dean brings potato chips as vegetables.
* Sam found the journal!
* Dean tells Sam the truth about what Dad does.
* Awww....WeeSammy's crying...*hugs boys*
* You just know Dean's going to fix this somehow...it's just what he does.
"Oh fudge!!!" *gigglesnort*
Hey! It's the gal from Everwood!
Geeze Dean...you got 6 evergreen stakes going there...think it's enough? LOL
And uh...why have the wastebasket there? The shavings are flying all over the floor. LOL
So the the evil pagans come from Seattle! o.0
Ewwwww! Lots o' blood...and...bones...and body parts...ugh.
Ouch! Poor Dean. That had to hurt. Wall, this is Dean. Dean meet wall. Bam!
Sammy's gettin' strangled again!
Hardy Boys! LOL!
Omg...torture scene...
Little bit too much dialog for me...but oh well. It got better by the second viewing.
Madge: Oh my goodness me. Someone owes a nickel to the swear jar. You know what I say when I feel like swearing? Fudge.
Dean: If you fudging touch me again, I'll fudging kill you!
Madge: Very good.
Lucky Dean...literally saved by the bell. I was starting to get flashbacks to the Pilot for Alias when Sydney got her tooth pulled out by suit and glasses guy!
Dean: (mumbling with pliers in his mouth) Is somebody gonna get that? You should probably get that.
Heh..Fruitcake gets no respect.
How did the boys manage to escape so easily?
Now that's a new use for a Christmas tree nobody's ever thought of!
Flashback:
* Dean brings Sam Christmas...awwwww.
* Heh. Sammy gets girly presents.
* Ridge does a great bit of acting here as Dean...that bit of not looking at Sam when he answers about the presents. Great job! The kid obviously did some studying of Jensen's mannerisms.
* Yes! The necklace gets some background at last! I think it's sweet that Sam is the one who gave it to him. :)
Awwww! Sam gave Dean Christmas after all! Warm fuzzies all around!
The presents are great! Practical, yet fun and keeping with their personalities.
Sam's awkwardness and emotional pause is fitting. You know he wants to say something, but maybe hasn't found the words yet. So he deals with it in the patented Winchester way....he deflects to something else by bringing up the game. It's great to see Sam and Dean like this....just being guys and brothers. What a great way to end the episode...with the Impala parked outside, colorful lights in the window, and snow quietly falling. *happy sigh* So lovely.
