Stray thoughts
1) Does Wynonna have prophetic dreams like Buffy? I mean, she’s obviously haunted by her dad’s and sister’s deaths, but I can’t help but think there must be some underlying meaning to her nightmares…
2) #same
And something about the camera angle and the lighting gives this scene a dream-like quality? Is she still dreaming?
3) Ugh this dude is still there?
Well, I guess not any more…
4) 😊
I love how distracted Wynonna is by looking at Dolls because, let’s be real, who wouldn’t?
5) I’m guessing Wynonna has some kind of history with this judge guy.
6) What do you know, Purgatory is as corrupted as Sunnydale or Neptune. But at least Dolls knows how to play the game.
7) See? They are a Scooby Gang!
DOLLS: Waverly will stake the place out during the raid and photograph anyone she sees. Doc will come down, see if he recognizes anyone - from the old days.
8)
WYNONNA: Aw, there's a little rebel in there.
DOLLS: Not that little.
9) The creepy-crawler dude has it out for Doc, but like, Doc only did what Bobo ordered him to?
10) I feel Wynonna not playing by the rules is going to be both her saving grace and her downfall in this journey. For instance, she pushed the situation at the trailer park until she got what she wanted – she got Bobo arrested. But Bobo saw Waverly taking pictures, and we know Bobo has a special place in his heart for Waverly…
11) I agree with Dolls, though. Wynonna will have to learn when to play by the rules and when to break them. She needs to learn to walk that thin line because if she doesn’t, it could backfire.
12) Holy shit, this scene!
My heart was thumping during their whole exchange, it was so tense and scary. For the first time, I was legit terrified of Bobo and what he could do. I mean, I don’t think there was much he could do (although I suspect he could’ve broken free if he’d wanted to, he was probably just being smart and trying to play nice.) But just the way he stared at Waverly and talked to her and pointed at her? CHILLS.
And this?
WAVERLY: Why, when I was little, did you choose me to manipulate? Huh? Because I was gullible? Weak?
BOBO: Weak is something you've never been. I chose you because you were angry.
WAVERLY: I wasn't angry.
BOBO: You sure?
WAVERLY: I'm not, OK?
BOBO: You've got depths that neither of us know the bottom of yet. Trust me.
What will be these depths Bobo is talking about?
13) WHAT THE FUCK!!! HOW DID HE DO THAT!!!
Like, he couldn’t use it, but damn if he didn’t prove a point! And what type of superpowers does he have? And WHY? What makes him more special than the rest of the revenants? Is it the fact that he knows the name of the Stone Witch?
14) Miss Stone? Is she the Stone Witch????
15) Wynonna just got kidnapped by a revenant and guess which is the dynamic duo coming to the rescue?
16) If it wasn’t the judge the one who tipped Bobo off about the raid, then who was it? There were only so many people who knew it was going down, right?
17) So this guy conveniently knows who The Seven are? He even has photographic evidence? And he’s Doc’s bestie, apparently?
18) Is Bobo being… abused?
19) She’s definitely the Stone Witch. Constance or Clootie or Miss Stone.
20) Okay…
This was some twisted fifty shades of weird stuff. What type of relationship do they have? He’s suggested he has some power because he knows the Stone Witch’s real name, which is why he’s the only one who can leave the Ghost River triangle limits. So I assumed that gave him some power over her, but it seems he’s totally submissive in their relationship? And what did she mean when she said that she could “hear them”? I don’t think she’s talking about the revenants…
21) How did Wynonna not realize that this dude was gay? Like, he was drooling over Doc. Then again, who wouldn’t be? Also, I really love the implications that Doc probably knew about his sexuality and was supportive of him? That’s some progressive shit for the Far West…
22) She keeps staring at his lips as he talks and I’m here for this shit…
23) “Earps. Always trying to cut filthy little deals whenever it suits them.” Is he talking about Wynonna’s father? And what type of filthy deal did he cut? Will we find out?
24) Oh, this fucking dude is channeling her father’s voice! That’s messed up!
25) This reminded me of Buffy in When She Was Bad…
26) Creepy Crawler Dude was the photographer! Does this mean that Doc knew who he was when he pushed him over the limits and tied him up? Like, he met up with his old buddy and knew that he’d given his soul mate a death sentence and didn’t say anything?
27) Did this dude really think he’d remind Wynonna of what they’d done to her sister and she’d let him live?
28) Ha!
It’s science.
Favorite out-of-context line.
29) Hahaha I died! The boobs didn’t work, Doc had to flirt with the ladies!
30) Dolls stopped playing by the rules when the judge insulted Wynonna. And is the judge a fucking child molester? I hope someone gets to cut his dick off.
31) I couldn’t take this scene seriously because of his fucking face hahahaha!
Did she put a spell on him or something?
32) Okay, Doc didn’t know that Levi was Fish’s partner. That makes me feel better about him chaining him up.
33) Eeewwww he chewed off his foot????
I thought he’d just cut it off!
And I just realized maybe that was barely any better.
34) Will this give Wynonna a different perspective on revenants?
I mean, how can it not?
I really love this idea that not all revenants are psychopathic criminals, and that some were people who made poor choices in life. It cannot be all black or white, and I think this will probably be one of the toughest lessons Wynonna will have to learn.
She’s gonna kill them and I’m not ready for it.
35) What the fuck is her deal?
Who are her boys? What is this “lead” she’s promised Bobo? And why is she scared of Doc? It didn’t seem that way when they met earlier…
36) holY FUCJJLASLDJLAD
I literally spent 5 minutes rewatching that scene… It really caught me off guard, and I was so caught up in what they were talking about because it felt like a defining moment for both of them, you know? Wynonna coming to the realization that she cannot be driven only by revenge, and that she needs to face the fact that not all revenants are demons; Doc defining himself as a monster and embracing his thirst for revenge, even though it seems he’s blaming Constance for a choice he made? And then Doc saying that he and Wynonna are exactly the same… and then… yeah, that was a defining moment for both of them, alright...
Damn, that was hot. I think it’s going on my Epic First Kisses list. Damn. I need to watch that again, excuse me.
I really didn’t expect them to go there this soon into the show? Like, the chemistry between Wynonna and Doc was obviously off the charts, but I thought the writers might want to milk the UST for a while before getting them together? Or maybe they would keep the sexual tension unresolved?
And now I’m freaking out because I fear it might be a one-time thing? Please don’t let it be a one-time thing.
37) Why was Doc in that well, by the way? Did I miss it or hasn’t it been explained yet?
38) Oh shit…
That’s probably the last picture of the Earp sisters together, isn’t it?
39) OH FUCK
So it was the fucking child molester the one who tipped off Bobo!!
40) Now that was some an episode alright! The plot advanced A LOT: we saw the face of the Stone Witch and learned a little bit more about her relationship with Bobo – although I still have so many questions! Waverly confronted Bobo and he hinted at her having some powers, we’re learning more about the involvement of the authorities in covering up the revenants and their dirty deeds, Wynonna learned that she cannot be driven by revenge and WYNONNA AND DOC FUCKING KISSED.
Also, I died!
This really felt like a pivotal episode, and I truly can’t wait to see the next one!
41) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!
Some (somewhat disorganized) thoughts on Wynonna Earp 1x05:
I liked the dream-like opening. I feel like I need to look up something on color symbolism (yellow seems to equal supernatural/ magic/ the past here? Dream = yellow with blue and Reality = yellow and red)
Bobo is skill kind of ridiculous (I swear he looks like he escaped from the set of Vikings or something). I don’t think Willa is alive, but I am curious about how much she is being brought up. Also, apparently Bobo can stand Peacemaker better than other reverants?
I’m curious what the deal is with Dolls’ superiors? And yay for Dolls vouching for Wynonna (I’m sad she missed that part) And I love his reaction to catching her stealing stuff with Fish. I like Fish (I’m sad he had to die).
Curious what the Stone Witch (aka Constance Clootie) is hearing- the reverants, maybe? And who she wants to resurrect? (Not to mention, what her agenda is, she doesn’t seem too fond of either Bobo or Doc) Also where was Doc? In the well Peacemaker was in?
According to Google translate, what is says to him is ‘are you still stone, John Henry Holiday? Are you still stone dead ? Without comfort , you sleep, sleep, sleep ’ in what is apparently (assuming Google is right) Romanian.
‘ Incá tu sunt piatrâ, John Henry Holliday. Incá tu sunt piatrâ mort fârâ emu* mangâiâ, tu somn somn somn …’
*that’s what the caption claims, anyway
Not thrilled about the Doc and Wynonna thing (can you guys at least find a room or something – that can’t be comfortable) I find Doc interesting, but I don’t particularly *like* him (I may be holding a grudge re: him threatening Waverly).
And the judge is apparently a reverent? Or related to do with the corrupt lawman Wyatt mentioned in 1x04? (and obviously tipped off Bobo) That can’t be good.
