 Like a virgin are in this case like a mistrusting brother not telling the other one pretty essential facts that they should know But unlike the song they will touch on this again and again and again and again That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys This is my review for just like a virgin episode 12 of supernatural season 6 and now before I go into a big Tyrate about the illogical factor that is Dean's thinking with Sam soul here I actually have to give this season credit for having one of the better Mid-season returns like this is actually a pretty decent episode Except for one big dumb fucking thing. I have to admit. I maybe should apologize to the latter seasons for using the trope of the brothers not trusting each other with holding something from each other because the first instance of it happening post seasons 1 through 5 is One of the worst examples I can think of the idea that Sam is upright and That Dean does not want to mention anything to him But he for some reason thinks that Sam will not figure out anything despite the fact that he has been around and walking and talking With a lot of other people that they know for a year and on top of that He leaves his brother to to the wind to go off and find a magical sword But doesn't bother to tell anyone aside from Bobby not even Castiel not even the uncle no one at all that hey I don't want this information known Dean's the biggest fucking bonehead here Anyone and everyone in the writer's room must have seen how stupid this was I Literally solved with the end of the episode and it has nothing to do with the really quick resolution formula that we've come to know For supernatural because all Sam has to do is Call Castiel he does one thing out of the two people that he talked to Getting this part out of the way with first because this episode actually isn't that bad aside from the giant piece of Dipshit dumb ass writing that is Dean's logic about trying to keep Sam out of the loop And I understand his want to protect Sam because as death said any scratching at the wall could lead to its downfall But he does absolutely nothing in terms of trying to stop any of it He's just kind of like I don't want it this way, but I'm not gonna do anything about it Why did this happen the fact that Sam is the way he is and he gets right back up again? And the first thing he wants to do is go on a hunt. I I don't like that aspect of this episode I do like what it leads to now I understand the episode has to proceed to introduce the mother of all which they do very well But I feel that maybe they should have left it for an episode because just the very Casualness that Sam is like, yeah, sure. Let's get back to things. I've been in hell for a year I am pretty casually laid back about being topside again. Hey, you're going on a hunt. Sure I don't care about doing anything else that I never thought I'd be able to experience again I don't want to see anyone. Let's do the very thing that got me into this fucking mess in the first place mmm this logic with Sam going on a hunt Immediately after getting topside doesn't make any fucking sense no matter how much you try to spin it They should have spent an entire episode with just Sam here Obviously, he's going to realize. Hey, I don't remember shit. That seems a little weird. Hey y'all looking at me weird That seems a little weird and as far as we know Dean never took Sam's cell phone or did anything else So as far as Sam could tell he'd be able to pick up a phone and be like Hey, there's all these random text messages that are dated of me like a couple weeks ago And I responded how the fuck did that happen? There's so many issues with this single piece of the story that I have Ranted on for near on six minutes according to the timetable here aside from that the episode itself actually isn't bad I remember a lot of people not liking this episode for the whole idea of dragons And yeah while a guy getting sucked out of the front of a plane doesn't make any sense It's a TV show they're very limited to what they do. I actually do like the dragons in it I think that this episode does have a really good funny bit with Dean going to get the sword out of the stone and Music cue and he can't get it out And then he blows up the rock and in the end he breaks the sword But that part was really really good again Don't understand why he went off to get a sword and didn't bring Sam with him because he just left Sam alone to Nothing except to realize that sewers are the equivalent of caves I Don't know how you can free that out. I do like when they go to save the girls and the dragons have to fight I thought that part was really good and then I love how the episode ends with The dragons throwing the girl off into the pit and then the book of human skin kind of giving this really cool foreshadowing to the mother of all villain which we were all going to be very sorely disappointed by I thought this is a Decent build-up for a villain and then when Sam does find out while I did rant about it I will give this one good credit. I do find it quite ingenious that Sam Apologizes for how his soul is self-acted when he does find out that he has been walking around without a soul for a year I think there was a good play back into the morality of what makes Sam Winchester what he is He's not mad that he was bamboozled and lied to by Bobby and Dean He in fact understands why and he wants to make right from what he did even though it wasn't really him That part does make up a little bit for the idiocy that did start this episode off It's more so Dean's lacking effort to actually try and keep its secret that bugs the ever-loving Shit out of me when you know you know he's gonna figure it out and again That probably opened up the gateway for why they would use this same Distrusting story arc over and over and over again throughout the show's lineage But so while from that big-ass fucking negative the episode still does have a decent return and a Overall good arc has good pacing and has a cool little villain in it It has a cool build-up to a big bad that will eventually let us all down, but it's still not placed It's actually a pretty well put together episode. It just has a fucking dumb-ass brick of writing the size of a goddamn pyramid So in the end, I'm gonna give this episode a four out of seven. It's Even with all the tractors of this episode, it's still one of the better returns Mid-season finale return anyways. I don't know if we're gonna get that lucky as the show goes on I know that we definitely did not after season 11 helm season 11's mid-season return sucked So we'll see anyways guys as to my thoughts Let's see what you guys had to say kind of wondering if you're gonna talk about the same thing as me All right, and it certainly seems you guys had a lot of complaints about the dragons I remember watching this episode and hearing that they would have dragons in it I was so excited to see what dragons would look like and then got disappointed and they turned out to be humans with John Claus and don't even see them fly great one-liners though. What makes a virgin what make what? What's like virgins and gold? I don't know P. Did he didn't age well Like a virgin is a decent opener after the mid-season always makes me laugh when Dean calls Bobby and goes What do you know about dragons? Nothing? Well, you could you make a few calls to to who Hogwarts? I also like when Dean gets a diary and then they maybe say they're all virgins. He gets the diary Hey, dude, you can't hear that but you can't read that the cliffhanger at the end is cool with the mother of all And I've got a new villain fight. I do like how they introduced her obviously though But unfortunately, we know where it goes like a virgin is a good mid-season comeback It feels felt cathartic to have real Sam back. It was relationship with Dean normal again Although the loss of Sola Sam is definitely felt curious to hear your thoughts on the mother of all storyline It seemed like a good direction to take the story in at a time and I've always felt like Eve could have been a big bad and She was an interesting addition to the mythology But she was very underused and looking back comes off as a shows attempt to have a villain similar to Lucifer in terms of scale And danger without the proper build-up and display of her power. What do you think no 800%? She definitely gets that Lucifer kind of sort of vibe, but she doesn't do anything with it They don't do anything with her like she's gonna be gone soon She doesn't even get half of a season length to be properly introduced as a threat Like a virgin pretty much showcases how I feel about season 6 at least 40% of the episodes in the season of our As a whole are really solid. I really like the interactions between Sam and Dean They felt genuine and natural progression of their characters. I even laughed it when Bobby the Memento jokes However, the rest of the episodes in the season as a whole are bogged down by Sarah gambles insistence of thinking that weird Monsters are more threatening than angels and demons And I simply don't buy it when you promise something as cool as dragons And you just have some guys with awful CGI hands because you don't have the budget to deliver you shouldn't have done dragons This episode also introduces one of the worst villains of the show mother of all which is essentially the mother of all demons title That Lilith has only to give it to ETH the first woman I don't understand shows like supernatural why an hour for Lucifer that insist on making poor Eve a villain I think the idea of her as the original monster like the mother of all monsters was a cool idea But I feel that this should have been introduced very early on season 6 is definitely a male commotion mode different ideas and And theories and one on fortunately it doesn't pull off in the end. Congratulations. Super natural You made dragons boring while the dragons are dull the episode isn't a total loss I like the introduction of Ellie too bad. She didn't make it through the season I mean imagine the Eve it wouldn't have been handy to have in purgatory a resident ally in season 7 and 8 Oh, no way. You mean the the lady who's got the sword. I also enjoy the Excalibur fake out Epic heroic music as Dean goes to lift the sword in his deflated fade away when he can't even budget That is a good part. It is one of my favorite parts of the episode, you know, if you're gonna do dragons You know the budget to do dragons Seriously, these are the latest dragons I've ever seen. I don't think they even breathe fire Just basic goons weird choice. Although this episode does introduce us to an interesting character at first We think it's Bobby's ex but she's actually much much more than that and that's later on I guess Oh and Eve is here too now. Cool. Yeah, no the the dragons are definitely Uneventful when they were first mentioned. I was like, how do I forget when they were first mentioned at the beginning of this episode I was like, how do I forget that there was dragons in Supernatural and then watching the episode? Oh, that's why I was really surprised that Sam had no memory of his past year I was glad to see the old Sam back or really found the dragons to be very lame But I enjoyed seeing Dean struggle to remove the sword. I really enjoyed seeing Kim Johnson and Eric as Dr. Viasek loved her in Highlander I was glad to finally get the answers as to who is supposed to be the big baddest season six I think the decision for the writers not to fall back on well-known dilemma Dean and Sam hiding Something from each other is very good by the end of the episode Sam learns the truth that Dean initially withholds from him This quickly establishes a new plot for the second half of the season Sam struggles with the truth It's all an episode. I think the dragons could put on a very disappointing performance I don't think a couple of guys in leather jackets can be called dragons Do monsters become rare in the future season now in terms of Sam and Dean keeping shit from each other I usually get really irritated with that post season five But I will say that it makes sense at least here in terms of Dean not wanting to break the wall Like a virgin is a great follow-up to episode 11 of season 6 on paper Visually, I'm sure people will say didn't deliver But I think it's smart for visual effects team to focus on the subtleties of Dragons rather than go all out if we saw a full CGI dragon I feel it would have been laughable to see if I channel shows this to me personally in time in a time again Also, I kind of understand how people of various parts of the world say Supernation were misrepresented dragons But these are more in line with fairytale dragons who cut who kidnapped princesses in Horde gold for me and makes sense Narratively that we don't see the dragons lower represented at least we didn't see Sam and Dean Going countless hours through a sewer ready to call it quits would Dean say I guess the princess is another castle I can kind of see where you're going from here, Joe, but If you're gonna introduce something as epic as that you should at least do something to it You can have some kind of hidden subtleties to it Like they tried but I feel like they did the very very poor man's version Not just in terms of the show's budget, but also in term of effort I It's so forgettable to me like I said I couldn't even remember that they had ever introduced dragons in the show in the first place However, the best scene from the coming from the episode and one of the best scenes to come from the post-kip create era is Dean Falling pulling the sword from the stone you and using C4 to retrieve it I would have loved to see Castiel pull the surf in the stone and just handed a Dean like no big deal like when vision Oh, yeah, actually that would have been funny Would have actually been really funny to see Castiel do that However, to me, it's a good follow-up for Sam and Dean reuniting and seeing Jared being soulful the use of Bobby and Castiel was properly handled I love the introduction of Dr. Vizek and Although I wish we had more Cthulhu like reveal with Eve It makes sense not on the front for budgetary reasons of her not possessing a Virgin human female and for the audience to slowly understand her agenda coming to earth Yeah Actually, that's kind of interesting having a Cthulhu like aspect to the show would have like to have seen a little bit more of that considering everything about HP Lovecraft and Cthulhu, but no, well, you know, get what you get.
