#bedlund seriously what the fuck

Scenes from the show that make me physically unwell, exhibit A
Tumblr media
Just. The framing of this shot. Dean in the foreground, completely oblivious that he’s being watched. Cas off to the side, watching him. Crowley in the background, watching them both. Bedlund you fucking poetic cinema genius, I love/hate you so much right now.

18!! (for the spn ask game)
james. i can’t believe i actually have thoughts on this. alright, all of this information i have acquired since november 5th. i’m in pain
18. Rank the writers (as many as you remember and know)
1. Robbie Thompson- god. has never done anything wrong
2. Bedlund- maniac. in love with him
3. Yockey- great shit and I can't remember him doing anything bad
4. Perez- I couldn't name his eps off the top of my head but i know he's given us stuff
5. Bobo- he gave us the confession, he gave us [the trap? maybe?], he gave us Steve and Dean pining. But racism, man.
6. Kripke- classic shit, understood the aesthetic and the grunge and shittiness of the midwest way more than anybody else, i feel like most writers on that set have never worried about money and it shows
7. buckleming- wow are they shitty. wow have they never watched the show. problems galore. what the fuck. they are spared bc 15x19's mediocrity was covered up by 15x20's horrificness. which brings us to...
8. dabb/singer- last and least. Fuck Robert Singer first of all for everything he's ever done for the show. his treatment of his coworkers, his treatment of the characters, his derision for the fans. can't believe i have a photo op with the man. dabb, you did this to me. you're the reason it's 2021 and i am here. fuck you and fuck you for making dean go back and forth between loving jack and being a horrible john-like parent with him apparently having no self-awareness of it (seriously when he was a little snappy at ben he freaked out but pull a gun on your kid and???) no. he doesn't get it. he's done some good things but i can't forgive him for the bad.

SPN 3X9 Malleus Maleficarum
that was horrible to type out
Also Ben Edlund episode!
I did go back to check what I thought of Ben Edlund’s episodes once I was informed of the esteem he was held in and the unifying factor of my notes was 
“this is how you do plot episode, more of this”
...this guy’s a good writer I’m excited
THE TOOTH THING IS
GENUINELY HORRIFYING
WHAT IS HAPPENING
SHE’s SPITTING THEM OUT OH MY GOD
OH GOD NO NOT THE GAG REFLEX
that was a HORRIFIC sequence
they find the spell bag instantly, but we don’t know who was casting so? it works?
also I googled katie cassidy, she was in arrow! laurel!!
“I hate witches” heh I see why everyone thought him and Tony would be bffs
“It’s unsanitary” pfft
oh hey it’s raining, is the stylistic? cuz it’s a film set so they can...kinda control...when it rains
CEO of terrible at faking being fine
WHO COOKS FOOD WITH MAGGOTS IN IT
WHAT KIND OF DARK MAGIC-
Ok I’m with Dean, this is just unsanitary
why’s the husband angsting what did he do
NO NO NOT THE MAGGOT FOOD NO WHAT THE FUCK NO NO NO NO NO 
“EVERY ROSE HAS IT’S THORN” IS NEARLY PERFECT TOO
AODHPFSA AND IT CHANGES TO “I PUT A SPELL ON YOU”
EWEWEWEWEW
I have muted it, I can’t watch this
 the radio turning on again, nice touch, cliche but fun
WHAT MADE THIS SUBURBAN LADY SO ANGRY
oh an affair ok 
“what is her name” and a cut to her pissing off her friends on the other side, ok nice, nice, good shit
and we’ll learn her name that way
She did seem way over her head, through the acting alone, that was neat
“yeah sure my name is “ *hangs up” was very nicely done, I liked that
BOOK CLUB FROM EARLIER! OH SET UP AND PAYOFF
“Amanda killed herself” was it the lady in Red? she’s acting awfully shifty
do they not know they have like...a patron or something?
what is it with suburbia and witchcraft can’t y’all find something a little less evil to pass the time
the satanic paraphernalia, they said it so matter of fact lol
ah and the witches stop in
seriously, why is blondie so CLEARLY foreshadowed like this
the “everyone keeps their cool while they clearly know what’s going on and are kinda quietly simmering” is NEAT
ooo and they clocked the garden
interestingly, Dean’s wondering why they should kill them, and Sam’s all for murder oop
Ruby in front of the car is a NEAT visual
oho and Sam freezes while Ruby and Dean face off that was COOL
“no one’s stringing me along” Sam based on...fanfic...I don’t think...this is good
oh no no not the pointed tap water shot nooo
“we’re supposed to drive in the car and argue” ooooo
“I got to change into you” OH FNASOIS THE SIBLINGS
And he just starts COUGHING UP BLOOD OH MY GOD
“stop calling me bitch” yes a girl boss-y line but it was kind of earned but Dean was REALLY a dick 
“it tasted like ass” WHY DO YOU KNo-
short bus cannot be an actual insult
their banter is like...kinda changed? I like that
OH BAIT AND SWITCH ok
just....fucking kill...blondie ok
I do like how he figured out it was her because she’s the only one without any EXTREME fortune
the “you knew exactly what you were doing” was...interesting tbh
the “i led the winchesters here” and Dean looks disappointed but “I told you so”
THE POINTED LOOK AT SUBURBAN LADY
O H Ruby sold herself to this as a witch
THEN NEEDLES! AH
and Dean stabs demon lady
Then a Look I feel like that means “We’re even”
OhO THE ELECTRICITY IS COOL
every demon(or most) being human before is NEAT
“most have forgotten what it means” OH THAT’s COOL
and that’s what happens when you go to hell
“forgetting what you are when you go to hell” HEY I WONDER WHY DEAN WOULD CARE
“Everyone turns into something else” oh NO
ok and not knowing that he was coming back that must have sucked
“trying to be all stoic” oW
ah so they have to turn Sam into what Dean was explicitly trying to protect Sam from his entire life OW
“i’m not like them, I wish I was, but I’m not” SDA OW
look I know she’s manipulating them probably, but OW
wrap-up:
1. Ok I don’t know if It’s because I knew it was a bedlund episode going in or not, but it seemed standard fare till the end, when it became just...heartbreakingly compelling. I Couldn’t look away, everything hurt, what the fuck. Like Dean and Ruby mirroring each other is just...Ouch, and Dean having to turn Sam into what he tried desperately NOT to turn him into is...O U C H
2. the hex bag thing is Great for paranoia, but most of that lore kinda got overshadowed by plot so not much to say there
3. excellent horror writing when it was focusing on it though, rly got the gag reflex going.
ye that’s about it for tonight
