SPN Ep: Paper Moon

Whatever happened to 'show, don't tell'?

So. Much. Monologuing. I swear there was 10 minutes of plot padded out with all the exposition ever. Kate's endless tale of everything she did from the last time she appeared in an episode until now felt like toddler storytime at the library.

Speaking of Kate, I'm glad they stuck a few frames of flashback in there, because the big reveal with dramatic music was totally ruined by the fact that I didn't recognize her until Show reminded me of the spectacularly unmemorable episode she appeared in.

And it still irritates the crap out of me every time they do an episode with well-adjusted, in-control werewolves, because that means Sam didn't have to kill Madison.

Meanwhile, the Winchesters were in 'Mayday! Deflect! Deflect!' mode. 'Umm, no I don't need to talk, bro, let's talk about you and what you need/did instead.'

And poor Sammy ended up with a temporary flattop because I didn't have time to give him more hair.

It'd mean more when the show remarks on the Winchesters' hypocrisy if it ever did more than just mention it. Sam occasionally touching on it now and then doesn't mean as much as it used to, especially not with what he's been doing.

It's an ancient Winchester (and Campbell) family tradition to immediately engage in questionable behavior when a relative dies.

And when a family member is injured or they're demonic or they feel like it....

I didn't see it myself, but someone on the internet claims that when the bros were chilling out at the beginning of the episode there was a "No Hunting" sign nearby.

Hee. That would be cute. I didn't see it either, but then I was too busy having flashbacks to Steve and Danny clinking beer bottles on Steve's stretch of beach in the H50 pilot.

I just had to go look, and there is indeed a 'no hunting' sign (http://www.homeofthenutty.com/supernatural/screencaps/displayimage.php?album=212&pid=259912#top_display_media). Although shouldn't it be 'no fishing' since it's right by the water?

Duck hunting maybe?
