Despite my rather
pessimistic views, we have already finished watching the second season and have
even embarked upon the third one, which, as far as I’m concerned, is something
of a disappointment, very weak, apart from a few episodes that I really like. Good
thing it’s so short! However, speaking about the second season with my mom…
John’s death came as a big
shock for her. I didn’t think that she would be so much affected by it. I mean,
all through the first episode she kept telling me just how much she disliked
him and yet as soon as he was dead and I assured her that he wasn’t coming back
(after she appealed to me in utter shock at such a turn), she instantly regretted
not liking him. It was pretty funny, actually. She said that if she had known
that he would be dead within the first episode, she would have made an effort
to like him better. She also wondered who she was going to dislike now.
Her favourite episode – the one
that she actually acknowledged by verbally letting me know that she liked it –
was “The Usual Suspects”. However, that was the one and only time when she told
me that she liked anything about “Supernatural” at all. The episode that she disliked
so much that I was actually afraid she would refuse to watch any more of the
show turned out to be general favourite “Tall Tales”. Apparently, my mom doesn’t
like funny episodes, doesn’t appreciate the show’s humour and finds them simply
stupid.
I can’t help blaming the
dubbing too: it’s just not the same when dubbed. In fact, it is completely inadequate.
It makes everything sound stupid, cringe-worthy, over-the-top and unnatural –
the actors’ raw emotions are completely obliterated by an indifferent and
inexpert interpreter.
She also doesn’t like it
when the writers purposefully dumb down Dean, making him act like a clown, and
she is not a fan of the boys’ hookups. So… still not a convert. However, she
did fall under Dean/Jensen spell almost at once, saying that “just looking at
his face is enough” and “If I didn’t know Dean, I would be scared too”.
