LOL I can hear them in my head giving such a weird thing the full Python treatment so I shall write to them and suggest it as a skit for their new show that is quickly becoming a tour LOL.
They really did give themselves headaches out of nothing and I agree I expected Robin and Dean to be each others firsts, I mean what a great parallel that would have been Dean's first sexual experience followed by an ep that was him making his way back to the sexual fold. Although they morally or legally can't show under age sex they could have alluded to sex. It was kind of like they were fearful to rock the apple cart and in doing so they went to fluffy and puppy love it was very sweet but not ness the Dean we know which means that in order to restore narrative and character balance somewhere down the road they will have to create a complimenting ep that explains Dean's sexual awakening and development into the man of strongly sexual and vital personality he became.
Jerking viewers out of narrative the huge no no in fictional creative drama based media. The breaking of 'the suspension of disbelief' A cardinal narrative sin espec in a show where the character history and story is so complex tangible and strongly and beautifully established as a self standing alt reality.
For me the excessively toned down sex scene is the model I expected to see in 'Bad Boys' only with a sweet innocence and nervous build up. Meanwhile 'Rock and a Hard Place' should have properly shown a sex scene, circa Dean of old, laying on the floor intense glances, movement, heavy kissing, removal of clothing etc.
Dean does gentle but intensely sexual and I think like he was with Anna in the Impala that type of intensity and allude to sex would have been perfect with Suzy they are both getting their feet wet again. Even if they had panned away from their moving bodies following Dean's hand towards where his shirt was or into the pocket of the jeans he still wore and we saw him pull a condom out of his pocket (appropriate turned on noises in the background) Then that would have said volumes without seeing a thing. I.e. I'm over my hang ups with Lydia, Ive learned my lesson, yes sex is going happen here with Suzy, then fade to Honor in the bunker. They created an anti climax in which if you blink you wonder did they actually have sex or just make out really intensely if the goddess hadn't nabbed them we still wouldn't be sure.
They built up to it beautifully the perfect balance of humour, heat and shyness and then chickened out of giving us nods to days of old. Which just left an unsatisfied feeling, As you say they are giving us such great nods to early seasons a more sexual sex scene would have been fitting.
