I posted this on another site but put a lot of thought into it so am posting here as well. This was one of my favorite episodes of Season 10 (this does not mean I was head over heels about this episode). I really like MOW episodes. I was hoping that there would be more "scary" episodes and this one wasn't really scary but I'll take it over Paper Moon and Ask Jeeves any day. I love Jodi Mills but also prefer her hair longer vs shorter. I thought the dynamics between Kim and Brianna were cute but didn't all together feel "natural", it felt like they were acting. We have had several vampire episodes and as far as vampire episodes go this one was not that great. The hippie vampire at the end really over played her part to the point of being a little ridiculous. Some direction for her to tone it down would have made her more believable. The final vampire scene, for me, was drawn out way too long, I would have rather seen more fighting and a lot less talking, especially by hippie chick. The way that Dean escaped his rope binding (they always escape) was less than exciting and we all saw what was coming with Brianna's breaking her sunglass lens to cut her rope but her escape method was a bit more interesting. Sam and Dean had a few really good scenes (there was one where I really laughed at Dean but can't remember right now what he said, but it was funny - something about his "fake" job?) Also, the scene at the end where Sam was concerned about the MoC and Dean said this is the "FIRST" time he didn't feel like it was compelling him was a red flag and also it was a lie. The last two episodes have ended with foreshadowing of what's to come with the MoC taking control of Dean again and it's presented to the viewer in such a cynical way from Sam (Sam doesn't believe Dean about the MoC) and it is a little insulting to the viewers because we know what's coming and these 3 minute endings "teasing" us about what is to come really fall flat for me. I still find the sequencing of episodes in Season 10 to leave the viewer with a very choppy feel. The flow of the story doesn't feel fluid and the episodes don't really feel like they are in the correct order. "Fan Fiction" was my favorite episode of the season. We all know the MoC is coming back and we have to wait until the mid- season finale to see what happens and then we get the holiday break before we get more. For me the first half of Season 10 has been choppy and very up and down and all over the place. I feel like the MoC storyline has been spread across episodes to intentionally be the mid-season finale to leave us "hanging" and wanting more but it has had the opposite effect for me. I feel like this season is disorganized and the journey is very bumpy. I'd really like to see the second half of Season 10 come together.
