SPN retrospective: S3!!

[fannishliss]

Season Three was one of my favorite seasons, probably because it was the first one I was watching live.  According to my somewhat faulty memory, I came in on SPN at some time during the summer after s2, and bought the DVDs, and started up with s3. I'm not sure, but that's what I think. It took me a long time before I started with an LJ, and that was in November 2007, so that matches up. :)

 :)   •    3.01 The Magnificent Seven -- I kind of liked this because of Tamara and Isaac being married Hunters.  I also had the impression that the show was harsher beginning with this ep, but I'm not sure why.
  :D  •    3.02 The Kids Are Alright -- LISA BRAEDEN. Also I liked the changeling.  Freaky kids are freaky.
:D    •    3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock -- Love the bad luck.  So much fun in this ep.
:)    •    3.04 Sin City -- I liked learning the demons' perspective on Lucifer for the first time.  Casey the bartender and Dean trapped together was pretty awesome.
o_o    •    3.05 Bedtime Stories:  I think I found this one a little clunky even tho overall I liked it.
 :)   •    3.06 Red Sky at Morning: I actually like Bela and the awkward dinner party
:)    •    3.07 Fresh Blood -- Gordon! and Kubrick!  this was a very scary ep in a lot of ways, not least because Sam is so afraid he'd not going to be able to save Dean.
:D    •    3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas -- um yes, I liked this one a lot.  The samulet!!!!!  the eggnog!  the skanky Santa!  The old gods!  the Krampus!
:)    •    3.09 Malleus Maleficarum -- I was one of the one who didn't mind this.
  :)   •    3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me -- I liked this.  I like having to fight inside dreams.  And LISA.
 :D :D :D   •    3.11 Mystery Spot  -- Of course, one of the best eps of all time.
 :D :D :D   •    3.12 Jus in Bello -- I loved this.  It has one of my favorite moments, when Sam looms to protect Dean.  It took me so long to warm up to Sam, and that's the moment I loved him and became bi-Bro.  :D  Plus, I shot the sheriff!!! best Dean joke ever.
 :D :D  •    3.13 Ghostfacers -- Yeah, I love the Ghostfacers.  I've watched this many times.
  o_o  •    3.14 Long-Distance Call -- weirdly enough this one didn't grab me.
 :)   •    3.15 Time Is on My Side  -- ever since Brisco County Jr., that guy Billy Drago has been the voice of creepy in my head.  He was also a Creepy West Virginian on the XFiles  ):  So this one was a win for me.
 :D :D  •    3.16 No Rest for the Wicked -- creepy little girl Lilith!  so creepy!! just like a twilight zone!!  and then Dean was on MEATHOOKS.  Of all the season finales, this is the one that tried to destroy me. Wah!  I can still hear poor Dean crying out, SAM!!!
oh my broken heart!!

A Very Supernatural Christmas is one of my all time favorites. This was a strange and short season, but it had some fabulous episodes. Then again, they all do :)

when they were good they were very very good :D

s3 was where they started to lose me, altho to be fair i think the season really suffered with the writers' strike. altho also, there were some really excellent episodes. i thought jus in bello was fantastic.

"i shot the sheriff."
waaaaaiiiit for it...
"but you didn't shoot the deputy. :D "

OH MY GOD, DEAN. but man, they just had to kill henriksen. that was so unfair.

bad day at black rock was fun, ghostfacers was fun and touching, dream a little dream of me was creepy (demon!dean snapping his fingers...!), a very supernatural christmas was disturbing. and we got the origin of the amulet, which was nice.

billy drago will always be nitti from the untouchables to me (altho he played a guy with aids in mystery skin and he was HEARTBREAKING) so seeing him as a creepy doctor was just weird. but man was he creepy.

Billy Drago on XFiles was supposedly from exactly halfway between the town where I grew up in WV and the town where my husband grew up, and we have never gotten over it. I hear tell of them there microwave ovens. ;p

I'm sorry s3 started to lose you! somehow it has never lost me yet, tho my affections have also latched on elsewhere

cough Bucky cough!

Nice job.

"Dream a Little Dream of Me -- I liked this. I like having to fight inside dreams. And LISA." I love how Dean was embarrassed about the picnic scene.

I have to admit the picnic scene in Dean's mind was super embarrassing. Lisa is a much more real human character. :)

:D • 3.02 The Kids Are Alright -- LISA BRAEDEN. Also I liked the changeling. Freaky kids are freaky.

My pet scare for all film and tv...FREAKY KIDS! EEP! Plus Lisa ♥

OMG, the freaky kids!!

sucking the life out of you!!! D:

Long Distance Call - yes there was something I didn't like about that one too, maybe it was just too heavy handed and I wasn't keen on the monster

I still think a crocotta is some sort of fancy breakfast food? :P

I think I pretty much agree with your list. Eps 5 and 14 are the two weakest eps for me too and I also like eps 6, 9, and 13. :D

thanks for reading through my list... it is fun for me to hear back !! :)
