Episode Review: My Heart Will Go On

The episode starts with an unlucky bastard who keeps having one domestic accident after another. The last one, tripping over balls and getting hit in the head with one, turns out to be fatal when his garage door decapitates him. Talk about 'Ouch'.

In the meantime, Bobby's devastated by Rufus' death and has turned into a full-fledge alcoholic with the amount of booze he swallows down. The Winchesters tip toe around him, wanting to offer advice and support but being absolutely clumsy in their ways. And then we're in for one major shocker!!
As the guys leave the Bobby-mansion to investigate several 'accidental' deaths, in walks ELLEN! What the fuck? Wasn't she scattered all over that hardware store in 'Abandon All Hope'. The shock-level rises when she talks about hunting with Jo and...wait for it...turns out to be Bobby's wife!!

Bobby: Did I ever tell you you're a pain in the ass?
Ellen: It's why you married me.

The boys search around the garage of former dead guy and find a golden fibre. Why would he have that lying around?
Seeing as how the three dead guys are related, Dean goes to talk to a survival relative. A conversation that doesn't go well.

Dean: Was anyone ever killed or maimed in a war, or you know, some other violent thing?
Cousin: What do you mean?
Dean: Like something so dark that it would sully future generations?
Cousin: Uh...No.
Dean: Good. Good stuff. Anyone own a slave?
Cousin: What?
Dean: Routine question. Any ties to the Nazi-party?
Cousin: Excuse me?
Dean: Did grandma ever piss off a gypsy?
Cousin: Okay. You know what? I don't know what kind of study you're doing but it's over. Right now. So if you don't mind.
Dean: Okay, I-I- I'll just cut to the chase here. Your life is in danger.
Cousin: What? What is that? A threat? Are you threatening me?
Dean: No, no, no, I'm not threatening you. I'm just saying that if you don't watch your back, you're gonna die.
Cousin: Get the hell out of my office.
Dean: Okay.
Cousin: NOW!

Sam managed to do some research, but our vics and their ancestors turn out to be straight as an arrow. No weird stuff, nothing that would indicate a supernatural reason for them to die. And then we're suddenly in an office where some redhead is talking about Cuba. Time freezes and a blonde woman walks in. She takes the keys from the redhead and drops them onto the floor, right underneath the copy machine. Time unfreezes, the redhead finishes her call and looks for her keys. Bumping into a vase, the water splashes all over the copy machine and then her scarf makes breathing real hard. Blondie scratches out a name and things go back to normal with our boys searching her office.

Well, now we know it's not a family curse, because Red wasn't related to the other three corpses. Dean calls up Ellen, who tells him all about Jo doing a similar job. She also tells him all about the ship the ancestors from the dying families came to US with. What the fuck!? It's the Titanic. That ship sunk, people, I saw the movie!! Kripke, you should really pay more attention in History class.

But hold up...What's Balthazar doing in the picture of the Titanic and what the crap,...did he just say he saved the ship? Is this another alternate universe episode?

Dean: Why did you unsink the ship?
Balthazar: Because I hated the movie.
Dean: What movie?
Balthazar: Exactly!
Sam: Wait. So you saved a cruiseliner because...
Balthazar: Because that god awful Celine Dion song made me want to smite myself.
Sam: Who's Celine Dion?
Balthazar: She's a destitute lounge singer, somewhere in Quebec and let's keep it that way, please.


This just made me fall in love with Balthazar a little more, but these words out of his mouth has made this episode one of the best ever!!

Dean: And we need to save as many as we can, and we need to know who's after them.
Balthazar: Sorry. You have me confused with the other angel. You know the one in the dirty trench coat who's in love with you. I don't care. Goodbye boys.

Bobby, wise as ever, has discovered what's going on. Our boys are up against...The Fates!! Or one of them at least. Yep, the sisters we all know from the Greek Mythology. And that explains the gold thread, because they spin your life on it. Why are they there? To get rid of all these people who shouldn't have been born at all! Dean's got the hard job of telling Bobby that Jo and Ellen die if the Titanic sinks.

From their Mustang, they spot Russo. They have to be near him to catch the sister responsible, but aren't given the chance. After nearly getting hit by a car, Russo demands that Dean leaves him alone and even accuses him of almost getting him killed. As he crosses the street, raving like a lunatic, a bus hits him. Bye bye Russo. Ironically, his face is all over the back of the bus, and his remains all over.

Sam spots the Fate they are looking for first. He thinks she looks like a librarian, and you have to admit, she does. Dean suggests to go talk to her, since they shouldn't be afraid seeing as how they don't have anything to do with the boat. By the time they catch up to her, she just turned on all the gas. So when Dean keeps messing with his lighter, I nearly screamed.

Thankfully, Castiel pulls them out just before they can blow theirselves up. He takes them to White Russia and tells 'em about how they pissed her off with the whole Apocalypse deal. And now they have no other choice than to kill her. "You have an expression for it; tempting fate."

Dean: You need new friends, Cas.
Castiel: I'm trying to save the ones I have.

An emotional little moment between Ellen and Bobby, which feels weird watching, made me sniffle anyway.
He knows his loved ones will be gone if they sink the ship, but it's looking more like it that sinking it might be the only option. "Oh please, you're a neon sign. So I can beat it out of you, or we can just skip that part."
So Bobby tells her. And she accepts her fate, and Jo's, so easily. It's incredible.

In the meantime, Sam and Dean are walking the green mile. Will it be the dogs, those insane people that juggle axes or a vent falling from above? When it seems they are finally meeting their doom, Castiel freezes everything. Antropos (the Fate) shows up with her little book for a heated, but polite conversation.

Castiel: Antropos, you look well.
Antropos: I look like stumped over crap because of you.

She's pissed beyond belief, because they messed up everything. They fought for freedom and created chaos. And what's even worse, she believes Castiel to be the one who ordered the unsinking of the Titanic. She believes this whole thing to be about souls. And then she offers him an ultimatum: sink the boat or we'll kill theWinchesters. And then she means her or her two sisters, who are apparently even stronger than her.
Scary stuff!

"Alright then, let's sink the Titanic." And of course, the first thing we hear is Celine Dion. How original.
The boys think they both had the same dream 'til Castiel sets them straight. Castiel wanted them safe and insisted on Balthazar sinking the ship.

Sam: So you killed 50,000 people for us.
Castiel: No, I didn't. They were never born. That's far different from being killed what you say.

Castiel didn't erase their memories, because he wanted them to know exactly who Fate is. And of course there are more reasons. Dean needs to reassure himself that Balthazar really sink the Titanic over a movie and yep, even Castiel says it's true. Fickle angel, that Balthazar.

Bobby's snoring his ass off and things are back to normal on Supernatural. Now who's excited for next week's episode? MEEEEEEEE!!



See y'all next time!

Shirley Out

Episode Review: Tall Tales (2.15)

It starts with a man, a professor to be specific. A pervy professor with some serious bad luck. Upon finding a scantly clad co-ed on his office door step, he's hardly hesitant to invite her upstairs. She lays on the simpering charm and he eats it up, even as she admits she isn't a student. The profession doesn't deter him as he advances, and she allows it, her skin decaying even before they can get to the good stuff. Backing away in horror, Professor Cox finds himself tumbling out the window unto his death, only to be found by the janitor as he's locking up for the evening.

All that is great, but what a girl really wants is a Winchester.

We find Sam and Dean holed up in another nameless hotel, wearing on each others nerves faster then usual. The episode is full of snarky banter and hilarity as Sam and Dean tumble over qualms and suspicions about the laptop and Impala, their respective babies.

DEAN: How's research going?

SAM: You know how it's going? Slow. You know how it would go a heck of a lot faster? If I had my computer.

DEAN: Hmm.

SAM :You know what? Maybe, uh, maybe you should just go somewhere for a while.

DEAN : Hey, I'd love to. That's a great idea. Unfortunately, my car's all screwed to hell.

Their impending bitchfest is cut short by the arrival of the hero's hero, Bobby (shut up, I'm a Team-Bobby). Sam describes how they got word of the Professors Death, and the investigation so far. The locals spout about an alleged affair between a student and professor three decades back, ending when the woman leapt to her death. In Sams description, Dean got drunk and macked on sluts while Sam did all the work.

Interrupting indignantly, Dean quickly corrects Sams version of the investigation with his own, where the previous slut is really an educates student who shares a drink with him while they discuss important matters at hand. Ha. In Dean's version, Sam is also much more of a nag. Bobby can't help but ask what the heck is up between them, and they admit to being shut-in for a while. It's wearing on them.

SAM: Dean. Dean, what are you drinking?

DEAN: (burps)I don't know, man, I think they're called purple nurples?

SAM: Okay, well listen. I think maybe we should go check out the professor's office.

DEAN: Oh, no, no, no, I can't right now, I've got some... feisty little wildcat on the hook, I'm about to - zzzzp - reel her in. I'll introduce you.

Sam informs him how they visited the office, and spoke with the janitor, noting that Dean was stuffing his face the entire time. The janitor had relayed what he saw: a girl go in but not come out, though girls going in the Professors office at Crawford Hall wasn't exactly anything new.

Together they explain to Bobby what happened next; a student walking by Crawford Hall, when supposedly a bright light shone down upon him, following him as he ran to escape it. It, as would be expected from a UFO, sucked him up into a beam of light. Bobby, naturally, is skeptical of the UFO theory, as were the Winchesters, though they relate the boy's story, a run-of-the-mill UFO abduction story with the added bonus of forced slow dancing. They even admit to finding jet engine exhaust at the alleged site.

BOBBY: Aliens?

DEAN: Yeah.

BOBBY: Aliens?

DEAN: Yeah.

BOBBY: Look, even if they are real, they're sure as hell not coming to earth and swiping people.

They speak with another student who tell them the boy in question was his pledge-master, who admitted put his pledges through Hell. Sam hugs him (well, according to Dean) and Dean announces the connection.

The victims were jerks.

Sam ignores him in favor of looking for his laptop.

The Winchester then explain about the next victim, an animal research tester who found himself eaten by an alligator while passing a sewer on the way to his car. It had been this victim that had prompted a call to Bobby, as well as a cal tot he sewers, though the latter was little help. It's then that they find the Impala with all four tires slashed, and Sams money clip laying on the ground suspiciously near the car's crime scene. Dean is quick to accuse Sam, and refuses to return his cash.

Bobby's fast to figure out they're dealing with a Trickster, working the boys against each other. Tricksters are especially drawn to cocky bastards and Sam and Dean don't need long to realize the only connecting figure in the crimes; the Janitor.

SAM:Dude, you know something? I put up with a lot from you.

DEAN: What are you talking about? I'm a joy to be around.

SAM: Yeah? Your dirty socks in the sink, your food in the fridge.

DEAN: What's wrong with my food?

SAM: It's not food anymore, Dean! It's Darwinism. All I ask from you, the one thing, is that you don't mess with my stuff!
Little do they know, the man in question is at his apartment, nose buried in a tabloid magazine, snapping up imaginary women and candy.

The boys return to Crawford Hall and meet with the Janitor. Sam rummages through the mans locker while Dean distracts. The Weekly World News Sam finds leaves him skeptical, and he and Dean fight (again) while the Janitor watches in glee.

It's later that Dean finds himself in an auditorium with a disco ball and two sexy women. They come on to him, and the Janitor admits their a peace offering while it moves onto another town. However, quickly it's reveled that theirs a trap in the trap as Bobby and Sam come forward, stakes in hand.

The Janitor-Trickster replies with a finger-snapped chainsaw-wielding maniac while the once attractive women move to the offense, attacking. It's rough-going, but they manage to duke it out and Dean sinks his stake into the Trickster.

Only, it isn't the trickster, though the boys are long gone before it's revelaed. It's just another clever illusion, leaving us open for more trickery to come.

Dark Side of the Moon (5X16)

" Heaven? How did I get to Heaven?"

Dean's soundly asleep in his motel room while two -disguised- hunters hold both him and Sam at gunpoint. Dean wakes up, his hand already under the pillow from snuggling it, but his gun isn't there. 

"Looking for this?"

 Dean almost instantly recognizes the voice from one of the two burglars, identifying him as Roy. And guilty by association, Walt name falls from his lips shortly after. Showing their faces, they tell us why they've come. 

They know all about Sammy letting Satan loose from his cage and has come to kill him, which they do with a shot to the chest. Seeing as how Dean knows who they are and they don't want him hunting their asses, they pop him too. 

WALT: Shoot him.

ROY: Killing Sam was right but Dean…

WALT: He made us and we just snuffed his brother, you idiot. You want to spend the rest of your life knowing Dean Winchester’s on your ass, ‘cause I don’t. Shoot him.

DEAN: Go ahead, Roy, do it. But I’m going warn you, when I come back I’m going to be pissed. C’mon! Let’s get this show on the road. 

Ah, Dean, you so smart! Of course, the angels would bring them back. But straying off the topic here.

With the great Bob Dylan playing on the radio, Dean suddenly wakes up in his car. The night looks so much like our night, but somehow it isn't with this big, odd moon visible behind the treeline. Dean gets out of his car to investigate but only sees the road and a lot of trees, until...little Sammy shows up. That's right, his brother but in miniature form excitedly uges him to follow. They walk out into a field where they light up fireworks and a memory gnaws at Dean. "I remember this! It’s Fourth of July, 1996."

 With a sweet hug and big grins, they just enjoy the moment, which to be honest brought tears to my eyes, while I was smiling like a freaking idiot. All of the sudden, Dean gets a flashback of being shot and when he snaps out of it, little Sammy is gone. He calls out to his brother, but gets no response and so he heads back to the Impala.



And then there's EVP-Cas. Using the radio in Dean's Impala, Castiel contacts him from Earth, telling him that A) he's not in a dream and that he's in Heaven, and B) that he has to follow the road in order to find Sam.
Sounds a bit cliché to me, but hey, that might just be me.

Dean does as instructed, following the yellow-brick road...oh wait, the regular black-paved road with yellow line in the middle. (wrong movie/show) When he pulls up at a house, he heads inside to find Sam at the dinner table with a teenage girl groping him and her parents relentlessly questioning him. What the...
Dean puts it more eloquently though. "Wow, just wow." 

Sam's surprised to see Dean in his dream, but hey it's not a dream. They watch Sam's memory continue, even without Sam still at the table and they discuss the trip down memory lane.

SAM: You know, when you bite the dust they say your life flashes before your eyes.

DEAN: Your point?

SAM: This house, it’s one of my memories.

DEAN: When I woke up, I woke up in one of my memories. The Fourth of July we burned down that field?

SAM: Maybe that’s what heaven is: a place where you relive your greatest hits.

DEAN: Wait, so… playing footsie with brace-face in there? Then that’s a trophy moment for you?

SAM: Dean, I was eleven years old. This was my first real Thanksgiving.

DEAN: What are you talking about? We had Thanksgiving every year.

SAM: We had a bucket of extra-crispy and Dad passed out on the couch. 

The house starts to rumble and a big search light shines into the house every now and then. Dean decides to contact Cas to ask about it, because that shit just can't be normal. Castiel tells them it's Zachariah, who's looking for them. The angels want to return them to their bodies, but not before tempting them into agreeing to become the vessels.

CASTIEL: (on TV) Don’t go into the light.

DEAN: Okay. Thanks, Carol Ann. What was it? 

  Cas says to stay away from the light and to look for an angel called Joshua, who's apparently God's confidant. Sam's actually surprised when Dean says he's going to look for the guy, because God wasn't high on Dean's 'people to like'-list. But Dean does have a valid point about Him being the only one that can help and if Joshua can tell him, then who is he not to listen, right?

SAM: So... What do you think?

DEAN: I think we hit the yellow bricks; find this Joshua cat.

SAM: Really?

DEAN: What? You don’t?

SAM: No, uh. I’m just surprised you do. Last time I checked you wanted to break God’s nose, now you think he can help?

DEAN: He’s the only one who can. I mean, come on, Sam. We are royally boned. So prayer? The last hope of a desperate man.

They head out like two determined, courageous knights until... "Wasn't there a street out here?"
Our boys are lost in Heaven! What are they supposed to do now?
I thought Dean had gone mental for a full two minutes as he looked around -inside of the house- in search of a road. Especially, when he considered a toy race track to be the road, but what do you know...all of the sudden, they find themselves in their old home. In Dean's old bedroom to be exact.

DEAN: Kind of trippy, right?

SAM: Yeah. More trippy. Um. Apparently, you ‘wuv hugs’. 

Dean looks absolutely adorable as he discretely tries to cover up the shirt, while giving Sam one of his famous 'shut the hell up'-looks, which he doesn't hesitate to verbalize either. Cue Mary. The boys' faces already made tears prickle my eyes, because the awe and devotion towards their mother is written plainly on their faces.

Mary can't hear Sam, because they're stuck in Dean's memory and Dean's having a very hard time letting go. Sam finally gets a clearer view on the Winchester family life when they overhear Mary and John having a heated conversation on the phone and Dean consoling their mother.
"I just never realized how long you’ve been cleaning up Dad’s messes."

When Sam finds a postcard, they are suddenly moved to Flagstaff, Texas where Sam had a beautiful Golden Retriever called Bones and lived off Funyuns and Mr. Pibb. To say that Dean's disappointed by the memory is an understatement. He's really hurt. And what's a happy memory for Sam is quite the opposite for him, because he lost his little brother and felt his father's rage because of it. I have to say, I was a little peeved at Sam for not thinking of that, but I could also understand his need to get away, because we all know how lousy his relationship with his dad was back then.

And the painful stuff keeps on coming, because when Dean walks out, they're standing on the very spot where Sam left him and John for Stanford. "This is the night you ditched us for Stanford, isn’t it? This is your idea of heaven? Wow. This was one of the worst nights of my life." 

Poor Dean, right? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. My heart truly broke for him during this scene and when he talks about being a team, Sam and him against the world, I couldn't hold back the tears.

SAM: I don’t know. I mean, I was on my own. I finally got away from Dad.

DEAN: Yeah, he wasn’t the only one you got away from.

SAM: Dean, I’m sorry. I just, uh…

DEAN: I know. You didn’t, you didn’t think of it like that.

SAM: Dean!

DEAN: C’mon! Your heaven is somebody else’s Thanksgiving. Okay. It’s bailing on your family. What do you want me to say?

SAM: Man, I never got the crusts cut off my PB & J. I just don’t look at family the way you do.

DEAN: Yeah, but I’m your family…

SAM: I know…

DEAN: I mean, we’re supposed to be a team. It’s supposed to be you and me against the world, right?

SAM: Dean, it is!

DEAN: Is it?

The little emo-moment, which was definitely emo judging from the buckets I was crying, gets interrupted by a light suddenly shining on them and then they're running. Faster, boys! Faster! Those are freaking angels on your tail!

"Wow. Running from angels. On foot. In heaven. With out-of-the-box thinking like that I’m surprised you boys haven’t stopped the Apocalypse already." 

A guy in one of those Mexican fighter masks helps them escape by drawing some odd-looking symbols on the door to what appears to be a rundown shack, but once inside they find themselves at the...Roadhouse?


And the guy is none other than ASH himself. Dr. Badass, epic as ever, shows them a 'holy-rolling police scanner' he made that allows him to listen in on the angels, and admits to being fluent in Enochian. Damn, the guy's a freaking genius! At least that doesn't change in Heaven, huh. 

ASH: Buenos dias, bitches.

DEAN: Ash?

ASH: Welcome to my blue heaven.

I laughed my ass off when Ash did his beercan-trick and Dean just looked at his own as if it was the world's biggest puzzle. Ash tells 'em all about Heaven and it's infrastrucure. He even tells them a little about famous people's private slices of Heaven. 

ASH: I rigged up my very own holy-rolling police scanner...That’s angels. Blabbing Enochian, okay? I’m fluent. I heard that you were up. Of course I had to come find you. Again.

DEAN: Again?

ASH: This ain’t the first time here. I mean, you boys die more than anyone I’ve ever met.

DEAN: Really.

ASH: Ah, yeah… you don’t remember. God! Angels. Must’ve Windexed your brain. 

A short reunion with Pamela, who seems to have become Heaven's PR spokesperson, a little bit of tongue-action and they are back on their way to the Garden. But something must have gone wrong, because they end up in a livingroom where Zach's waiting for them. But not before playing some mind games with Dean in the form of a taunting mother. Zachariah appears and tells them all about how petty he really is, and all the things he plans to do to them should make them tremble with fear. Ha, fat chance!

Joshua appears then, saving them from Zachariah's greedy and angry claws and prevents him from taking anything out of their asses. And finally, they have made it to the Garden.

The conversation with Joshua isn't anything like what they imagined. He already knows everything they want to tell God, along with all the questions, but can't offer them any good news in return.

"Back off." 

The message from God angers Dean and he has every right too, but it only gets worse when Joshua says how God doesn't think of it as his problem. What the fuck? God created Earth, humanity and everything else, but would throw us to the wolves? Unbelievable!!

Dean's crushed, having put faith in yet another lacking father. Joshua tries to emphasize God's good deeds, bringing certainty about the resurrection of Castiel and the relocation of the boys at Lucifer's rising, but it's not enough. And how could it be?

Joshua claims to be their very own little cheerleader, well perhaps not in those words, but he is rooting for the Winchesters, hoping they can put a stop to the madness. But he's just a gardener and doesn't have anything else he can offer them. And then he sends them home.

JOSHUA: I know how important this was to you, Dean. I’m sorry.

DEAN: Forget it. Just another dead-beat dad with a bunch of excuses, right. I’m used to that. I’ll muddle through.

JOSHUA: Except… you don’t know if you can, this time. You can’t kill the Devil, and you’re losing faith, in yourself, your brother, and now this?

JOSHUA: God was your last hope. I just… I wish I could tell you something different.

SAM: How do we know you’re telling the truth.

JOSHUA: You think that I would lie?

SAM: It’s just that… you’re not exactly the first angel we’ve met

JOSHUA: I’m rooting for you boys! I wish I could do more to help you, I do! But, I just trim the hedges. 

The ending depressed me to no ends. Not even Castiel's swearing made me tingle like it usually does, because of the defeated looks on both Dean's as Castiel's face.

"You son of a bitch. I believed in..."

My two favorite guys were crushed during this episode and for that alone, I think I might hate this one a little bit. No matter the awesomeness that came before. 
No, just kidding. I could never hate a Supernatural-episode. But to be honest, this one here always affects me the strongest. And I both love and hate Kripke for it. I just want to go hug Castiel and Dean now.
And in truth, I need one too.

Here's one of the best scenes from this episode. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.



Well, that's it for me. See y'all tomorrow.

Shirley Out!

Episode Review: Heart (2x17)

Hello SPN lovers! I’m reviewing probably one of my all time favorite episodes of the whole entire series, Heart (2.17)

It starts off in San Fransico, California, a girl, Madison, is out with her friends after work. Her boss, Nate asks her to come back to the office to finish some work. It turns out he's just trying to get her to go with him but she's called him a cab. As Nate leaves, Madison sees a crazy looking man watching her. When she turns back a few seconds later, he's gone. She quickly leaves and goes out to her car in some dodgy looking alley and as she leaves, the man who was watching her comes out and watches her drive away. Yeah, creepy dude is creepy. The next morning, Madison arrives at the office and sees blood in Nate's office. She goes in and sees that he's been left on his desk dead, with his heart ripped out. Cue broken coffee pot and scream.

Sam goes to the morgue to see Nate's body, and the doctor concedes it appears like an animal attack, and the heart is missing. Sam and Dean are in town looking into the deaths of hookers on a timetable matching the lunar cycle.

SAM: Dean, could you be a bigger geek about this?

DEAN: I’m sorry, man, but what about “a human by day, a freak animal killing machine by moonlight” don’t you understand? I mean, werewolves are badass. We haven’t seen one since we were kids.

SAM: Okay, Sparky. And you know what? After we kill it, we can go to Disneyland.

DEAN: You know what the best part about it is? We already know how to bring these suckers down. [holding up a silver bullet] One of these bad boys right to the heart. So, what’s our next move?

SAM: Talk to the girl who found the body.

They go to talk to Madison, whose neighbor Glen is leaving as they arrive. I find it so funny that Sam and Dean use the names Dante and Landis because both those names are of directors of werewolf movies. The boys ask her about her boss and Madison describes Nate as a ladies man.

MADISON: Probably knew more about him than he did. Nate was…he was nice.

SAM: But?

MADISON: Nothing, really. He had a few scotches in him, and he started hitting on anyone in a five-mile radius. You know the type. [SAM notices DEAN practically salivating over her.]

SAM: Yeah. I do, actually.

She also mentions her ex-boyfriend Kurt was stalking her and saw him the night at the bar. They go to visit Kurt but after they leave, Madison spots Kurt outside. Creepy guy has a name now. *shivers*

The brothers check out Kurt's apartment. While they are looking around you can see something looking at them. It kinda looks like it can be from the view of an animal. They don't turn anything up.

SAM: Anything?

DEAN: [closing the fridge] No, nothing but leftovers and a six-pack.

SAM: Check the freezer. Maybe there’s some human hearts behind the Haagen-Dazs or something.

Dean hears a noise outside and goes out on the balcony and they see claw marks going down the side of the wall. Down below, a policeman investigates the noise and something attacks him. Dean and Sam hear his gunshot and go down to find the policeman's dead and heart missing.

They go to see Madison and she tells them where Kurt works. One has to stay and the other needs to check out the body shop Kurt owns so they fight over it.

SAM: All right, you go. I’ll stay.

DEAN: Forget that. You go after the creepy ex. I’m gonna hang here with the hot chick.

SAM: Dude, why do you always get to hang out with the girls?

DEAN: Because I’m older.

SAM: No, screw that. We settle this the old-fashioned way.

[He takes the coffee cups and sets them down, then raises his fist for Rock-Paper-Scissors. DEAN plays along, choosing scissors while SAM chooses rock.]

SAM: Dean, always with the scissors.

DEAN: Shut up, shut up. Two out of three.

[They play once more, with SAM’s rock again beating DEAN’s scissors.]

DEAN: God!

SAM: Bundle up out there, all right? 

Now this is where the fun starts. Sam is clearly uncomfortable with Madison, who flirts with him. He’s all awkward sitting around so she offers him to sit on the couch. Being the good boy he is, he declines. That is until she brings out her underwear to fold right in front of him. They end up watching soap operas and Sam gets hooked on them. They end up talking about how she got involved with Kurt. She mentions she was mugged and decided to take control of her life, then kicked Kurt out. They're interrupted when Dean calls in to report he's found Kurt at a strip bar.

That night the full moon comes up and Madison goes to bed while Sam stands watch in the living room. Dean watches Kurt's apartment and loads up on silver bullets. He hears a crashing noise and bursts in to find Kurt dead… and a wolfed out Madison standing over him chomping on his heart. She attacks Dean who manages to drive her off with a silver blade. That morning Dean calls Sam who says Madison hasn't left, but he notices the nick on her arm. He locks her into the apartment. Sam ties her down to a chair and holds her hostage with the gun. She pleads that she doesn’t know how she got the cut and that werewolves aren’t real. When Dean shows up Madison protests her innocence and Sam defends her.

SAM: We’ve gotta talk. [He brings DEAN into another room.] She says she has no idea what I’m talking about.

DEAN: She’s lying.

SAM: Or maybe she really doesn’t know she’s changing, you know? Maybe when the creature takes over, she blacks out.

DEAN: [deadpan] Like a really hot Incredible Hulk. Come on, dude, she ganked her boss and her ex-boyfriend. That doesn’t sound rash and unconscious.

SAM: Yeah, but what if it was, Dean? What if some animal part of her brain saw both those guys as threats? Hell, the cop, too.

DEAN: What are you, the Dog Whisperer now?

SAM: Look, man, I just…I don’t know, there was something in her eyes.

DEAN: Yeah, she’s killing people!

SAM: But if she has no control over it—

DEAN: Exactly. She can’t control it. Even if she’s telling the truth, it’s not gonna change anything.

SAM: I’m not putting a bullet through some girl’s chest who has no idea what’s happening.

DEAN: Sam, she’s a monster, and you’re feeling sorry for her?

SAM: Maybe I understand her. [pause] Look, there might be another way we can get the job done without having to waste her.

Sam suggests they kill the lycanthrope that bit Madison, which their father believed should cure its victims. Sam figures out the mugger bit her while she was near where the hookers were killed. They figure out that she was bitten on the back of her neck by the wolf. Sam offers to stay with Madison while Dean goes to hunt the original lycanthrope, and Dean reluctantly agrees. But only after Sam agrees to shoot Madison if something goes wrong.

After Dean leaves, Madison asks Sam to free her and he tries to comfort her, saying he'll leave once she's cured and he'll be nothing but a bad memory. Between her crying and Sam’s painful looks my heart just breaks for both of them. You can tell at this point that they both kinda like each other.

As the full moon comes up, a hooker on the streets hears something stalking her and panics. Madison goes all she wolf again and breaks free, going after Sam, scratching him. He manages to lock her in the closet while the original werewolf grabs the hooker. Dean arrives just in time to shoot the lycanthrope… Madison's neighbor Glen. Glen reverts to human and remembers nothing… then dies as Dean looks on. Another tear moment in my opinion.

Sam gets Madison out of the closet and tells her she won't see him again, then leaves. Madison looks at the damage that she did to the closet and the realization of what she was dawns on her. And it is just heart retching

The guys sit in the car outside to watch her that night and Dean asks Sam about her in the car. She comes down and invites them in and they play poker. They wait out the night and the next sunrise Madison is fine. Dean leaves the two of them alone after witnessing the awkward good bye Sam and Madison have. When he leaves he gives Sam a fist pump.

MADISON: Oh, God, thank you. Thank you so much. [She gives SAM a hug. DEAN clears his throat, and they pull away.] You, too, Dean. Thank you.

DEAN: Aw, don’t mention it. [awkward pause] So, I’m just gonna head back to the hotel and…watch some Pay-Per-View or something. [He leaves the apartment, pumping his fist in the air as he leaves.]

MADISON: That was smooth.

SAM: He means well, but…

MADISON: You mean, he thinks you’re gonna get laid.

SAM: Look, I—

MADISON: It’s okay.

SAM: No. I know I scare the crap out of you, all right? I mean, I tied you to a chair.

MADISON: That’s right up there with me scratching up your face.

SAM: There’s just no way we could go back, you know? Before it happened.

MADISON: You’re right. There’s just no way.

And then… they attack. Because this is so intense for me I’m just going to show you what the transcript says while I stare at naked Sam on my screen:

[SAM shakes his head. Then, after a moment, MADISON gives in and kisses him. SAM immediately responds, pushing her against the wall. They strip each other of their clothing and make their way to the bedroom, falling back onto the bed. Throughout the night, they continue to make passionate love, letting go of all they had been holding back. Hours later, they fall asleep in each other’s arms, completely content.]

During this scene there are like three words going on in my head, Back, Biting and Arms. That is all.

After the best sex to hit supernatural, the full moon comes up and Sam wakes to find that Madison has transformed and leaps out the window.

The next morning Sam goes to get Dean, who warns him they may have to kill Madison. Sam takes it to heart and makes it about him being evil and having to die eventually too. She calls them and they pick her up, and Dean warns her they can't find a cure. Sam is distraught and Madison accepts that she doesn't want to hurt anyone else, and there's only one thing she can do. She asks Sam to help shoot her and thus "save" her. Sam is against it. He wants to save her but not this way.

Sam can’t stop crying which leads me to think that he either fell for her or that they really connected on the “we’re both evil beyond our control” level. Dean takes the gun but a crying Sam insists that he has to do it since she asked him. Sam takes the gun, goes into the next room, leaving Dean there to shed his man tear and a shot rings out. Fade to black. *holds myself together through the tears*

 

 Catch ya Laters!

Episode Review: Born Under A Bad Sign (2X14)

Seeing as how Supernatural is on yet another break, we are once again reviewing old episodes. I picked 'Born Under A Bad Sign'. Why? Because Evil Sam is just too freaking hot. Here goes:

Dean's on the phone with Ellen, standing against his car and looking nearly desperate. He's looking for Sam, but apparently it's hard, because he even compares it to the insane quest for John Winchester. During the conversation, Dean gets another incoming call and what do you know, it's Sammy.

Sam appears to be in a daze as he hangs up the phone and we can clearly see the blood on his hands. Dean hurries down there (Twin Lakes) and is pretty frantic from what we can see, quickly checking the numbers on the doors and then banging on the one from room 109, calling out his brother's name.

Sam's shirt is covered in blood as he numbly sits on the bed and he doesn't remember anything.

SAM
What'd you find out?
DEAN
You checked in two days ago under the name Richard Sambora. Of course, I think the scariest part about this whole thing is the fact that you're a Bon Jovi fan.

Dean decides to 'retrace' Sam's steps in the hope that Sam's memory will come back. They go to a storage lock-up first, where they find a car. Blood and an equally bloody knife is what they find. And then there's a pack of sigarettes...That couldn't be Sam's, right? Sam doesn't smoke. But then the guy at the gas station says Sam's a chimney. What the hell is going on?

CLERK
You. Outta here now, I'm calling the cops.
DEAN
You talking to him?
CLERK
Yeah, I'm talking to him. Jerk comes in yesterday, stinking drunk, grabs a forty from the fridge, starts chugging it.
DEAN
This guy? You're drinking malt liquor?
CLERK
Not after he whipped the friggin' bottle at my head.
DEAN
This guy?
CLERK
What, am I speaking Urdu?
SAM
Look, I'm really sorry if I did anything,
CLERK
Tell your story walkin', pal. Po-po will be here in five.
DEAN
Wait, wait, put the phone down. Sam, go wait in the car.
SAM
But Dean,
DEAN
Go wait in the car!
(SAM sighs, leaves)
Okay, look, man. I just want to talk to you, that's it. Okay?
(The clerk hangs up)
Now, when he took off yesterday, where did he go?
CLERK
Why don't you ask him?
DEAN
'Cause I'm asking you. Now please, you'd be doing me a huge favor.
CLERK
Oh, do you a favor? Well, that is what I live for. You know, your buddy didn't pay for the booze. Okay? Or the smokes, which he also illegally lit up.
DEAN
You saw him smoking?
CLERK
Yeah. Guy's a chimney.

The guy does finally say which way Sam headed, and so they head that way. Sam recognizes a street and tells Dean to make a turn there, and it leads straight to a hunter's house. A dead hunter's house.

Sam looks pretty torn up about it when the security footage shows that he was the one to kill Steve Wandell. The guy had a daughter and seemed to be a really good person. Dean, however, is still trying to keep Sam safe. He gets rid of all the evidence that might point to his brother, just in case another hunter would come across it.

Back at the hotel, Sam tries to convince Dean to kill him. He even plays the guilt-card, saying Dean promised him. But the older brother isn't going for it. That's when Sam finally reveals his evil stripes, knocking Dean out and saying he will live to regret it.

Dean's awoken by the hotel manager banging on the door. He charges Dean extra and nearly kicks him out so a hooker and her client can take up the room. Well, isn't that classy?

Tracking Sam's cell phone, Dean discovers Sam is in Duluth, Minnesota.

Hi, uh, so sorry to bother you, but uh, my son snuck out of the house last night and, uh, went to a Justin Timberlake concert.
(pause)
What? Yeah. No, Justin is quite the triple threat. Uh, anyway, he's not back yet, and, and I'm just, I'm starting to worry.
(pause)
Right. Yeah, boys will be boys. But see, Sammy is a diabetic, and uh, if he doesn't get his insulin, I just, I have to find him. Please, I'm begging you. Yeah, no, no, no, I"m on the web site right now, I just need to activate the GDS in his cell phone.
(entering a password)
Yeah, right there. Duluth, Minnesota. Yeah, that is a long way to go for a concert. I appreciate your help.

In the meantime, Sam has found Jo in a bar. At first, Sam seems nice enough, although we all know better. He crushes all of Jo's hunter dreams about Dean, nearly rapes her and then ties her up so she can be bait to lure Dean, but not before screwing with her head a little more. "My daddy shot your daddy in the head." I love that line...Evil Sam is hot as hell.

A segment:

Well, Dean's more like my father than I am, but . . .
(off JO'S look)
Boy. You're really carrying a torch for him, aren't you?
(JO scoffs, uncomfortably)
I'll take that as a yes. It's too bad. 'Cause see, Dean, he likes you, sure, but not in the way you'd want. I mean, maybe as kind of a . . . a little sister, you know? But romance — that's just out of the question, he
(LAUGHS)
he kind of thinks you're a schoolgirl, you know?
(pause)
I'm not trying to hurt you, Jo, I, I'm telling you because I care.

Just as Sam finishes gagging poor Jo, Dean busts in. He's not the knight in shining armor Jo wanted him to be, because he can't gank his -more than obvious- evil brother. He does have something up his sleeve though and splashing some holy water into his brother's face, confirms his suspicions.

Dean frees the tied up Jo, while the possessed Sam takes off. Dean quickly chases after him and a short mouse and cat game ensues. Unfortunately, the game ends with Dean getting shot.

Now, don't get your panties in a bunch. Yes, he got shot, but he's not dead!
Ringing Dean's phone, Jo discovers his 'living' body in the water and pulls him out. She tends to his wounds, and then he's off in the sunset again.

DEAN
Thanks. I'll call you later, okay?
JO
(to herself, after DEAN is gone)
No you won't.

Dean tries to warn Bobby, but he's too late. So when the hunter opens the door for Sam, he still doesn't know anything about him being possessed. The cut phone line made sure Bobby stayed in the dark about these recent developments.

But Bobby is awesome as ever and is onto Sam instantly.
"Don't try to con a con man."
A little bit of holy water in a random bottle of beer does the trick and it's time to knock out Demonic Sammy.

When Evil Sam wakes up, Dean's already there, ready to take it out on his ass. But then the damn exorcism doesn't work, and the demon shows off some new tricks that leave Bobby and Dean shellshocked.
What the hell?

DEAN
This isn't going like I pictured! What's going on, Bobby?
BOBBY
(seeing the burn mark on SAM'S forearm)
It's a binding link! It's like a lock! He's locked himself inside Sam's body!
DEAN
What the hell do we do?
BOBBY
I don't know!

Evil Sam beats the shit out of Dean, while teaching him some things about what Hell's like. And then we finally have a name...Meg! Yes, it's the demon bitch from season one, and she has been dying to crawl back up to get her revenge.

Bobby burns the mark that creates the binding link and instantly Meg gives up, smoking out and disappearing down the fireplace. And Sam? Well, he's adorable as ever of course.
"Did I miss anything?" *facepalms*

A warning from Bobby to keep quiet about Sam's murderous streak, and a little present for both the Winchesters (charms) and our favorite guys are back on the road.
With some awesome classic rock playing in the background, the brothers have a little emo-chat, before Dean says the most epic line of this entire episode.
"Dude, you like, full-on had a girl inside of you for like a whole week. That's pretty naughty."


And that concludes my episode review. I hope you all enjoyed it! And here is an amazing Evil!Sam vid for all you lovers out there.



See you guys soon!!

Shirley Out!

Episode Review: The French Mistake

Hey, guys! So, we’ve had our fair share of –hilarious- episodes, right? From Ghostfacers, to Yellow Fever, to Changing Channels. Who thought it could get funnier? I sure didn’t. But that is exactly what “The French Mistake” is. In mine, and judging on the twitter feed, everyone else’s opinion, this episode was the funniest Supernatural has ever been. I was initially worried that after all the hype over this Meta episode, the actual thing wouldn’t be impressive. How wrong I was…

On a rainy day, out of booze (OH NO), Bobby’s out on a “supply run” while Sam and Dean are stuck at home. Guess who pays them a visit? The beautiful man that is Balthazar. Yes, I said beautiful, people. The man makes everyone swoon.

Balthazar: Hello, boys. You’ve seen the Godfather, right?

Dean: Balthazar?

Balthazar: You know, the end where Michael Corleone sends his men to kill his enemies in one, big, bloody swoop.

So, I don’t know how many of you understand the Godfather reference but basically, shit’s going down.

While Dean tries to get his attention, Balthazar gathers items (Dead Sea Brine, Lamb’s blood) and throws them into a bowl while I’m sitting here going WHAT’S GOING ON.

Sam: Why are you talking about the Godfather?

Balthazar: Because we’re in it. Right now. Tonight. And in the role of Michael Corleone – the Archangel Raphael.

Dean: Do you mind telling us what you mean?

No, Dean. He needs one more thing first! The vertebrae of a lesser saint. Awesome. After confirming that Bobby keeps a “beautiful pantry,” it’s then explained to us that Raphael’s had time to get better, per say, after being whoop assed by Balthazar with Lots Salt and now, he’s after everyone that helps or helped Castiel who by the way is “deep, deep underground.”

Balthazar: Including both of you. And so much more importantly, me.

Of course, the Winchesters question him while he draws some kind of sigil on the window but there’s no time for more explanation. Raphy’s here. Dramatically thrown to the other side of the room just after he gives Sam a key, he tells them to run as an angel called Virgil storms into the room. When they don’t make a move, he flings them through the window and they land gently on stunt mattresses. You read that right.

Bob Singer: CUT.

[Applause from the crew]

Crew guy: Real good on the fall. Way to go.

Bob: Jared, Jensen! Outstanding! That was just great!

Crew guy 2: Supernatural, scene one, echo, take one, tail slate, marker!

Welcome to the Meta Episode.

Sam: Should we be killing anybody?

Dean: I don’t think so.

Sam: Running?

Dean: Where?

A hilariously very confused Sam and Dean examine everything, even wobbling a piece of fake, plastic, broken glass as Bob Singer, along with two others, decide on how to cut a scene. Freeze frame? Hate mail? Deep, heart to hearts between Sam and Dean in the Impala? They talked about it all.

Crew man: That’s a wrap on Jared and Jensen!

Sam: Who the hell are—

Interviewer: Jared, three minutes.

So the interviewer pulls “Jared” away, with Dean following, asking where they’re going, only to be pulled away by the make-up artist and she brings “Jensen” to the vanity claiming that she needs to remove his make-up. “I’m not wearing any make—“ Yes, buddy. You are. The tainted make-up wipes prove it!

Dean/Jensen: Oh, crap. I’m a painted whore.

I LAUGHED LIKE A PAINTED WHORE. And so did everyone else! And why shouldn’t they? I kid you not, the good lines just kept on coming…

Seeing Jared once again, Jensen look at him seriously, saying:

Jensen: They put make-up on us, those bastards…

So Sam confirms it for us. They are in a TV set. Even better, the TV set of Supernatural. Not only this, in this alternate universe they are themselves. By themselves, I mean this.

Sam: Look, I’m not saying it makes sense, I’m just saying that we landed in a dimension where you’re Jensen Ackles and I’m something called a Jared Padalecki.

Dean: Oh, so what, now you’re polish?!

I die a little bit inside every time I hear that.. Good kinda die. From here on out we had an arsenal of hilarity that had everyone in stitches of uncontrollable giggles.

Firstly, Jensen and Jared moments. Apparently.. These two don't talk, aren't buddy buddy and so everyone finds it weird that they're walking around as if inseparable. Weird.

So we see references to Jensen’s life via the trailer. An old camera here, a football trophy there, a guitar and several trophies. Perfect! It doesn’t give much away about Jensen’s life. Jensen’s a private person. Bingo.

Before we move on, I just want to point out that it was HILARIOUS when Sam pointed out to Dean that Jensen was in a soap opera.

After our nice moment in the trailer, Sam and Dean try to figure out a way to recreate Balthazar’s spell, going around the set to look for the ingredients, only to find that they’re all props! Everything! Even the Impala. My heart broke… And Dean felt like puking. Finally figuring out how to get out of the set (which is via their personal driver) Dean asks…

Dean: “Where the hell are we, anyway? … [Seeing a “Vancouver” sign] Dude, we’re not even in America.

Later on, he makes a comment about doing bad things if he hears anymore talk of hockey. The stereotypical references to Canada had me giggling like a fool.

Then we get references to Jared’s life. A tanning bed (The guy isn’t naturally tanned?!), the otter and alpaca which refers to his charity work in real life and most of all, his wife. Yep. Genevieve Padalecki was there, starring as Genevieve Padalecki and making snarky quips at Dean! Or rather, Jensen.

Dean: Dude, you have a camel in your back yard.

Genevieve: It’s an Alpaca, dumbass.

After very awkwardly figuring out that “Ruby” is married to “Jared,” she explains how Alpacas are the greenest animal and that she’s going to an International Otter Adoption Charity dinner. Checking her out as she walks away, Dean says “Well, looks like you did alright” to which Jared replies “Yeah… Yeah… I should figure out her name.”

Dean: Wait… You and Ruby?

Genevieve: Do you honestly think that’s funny, Jensen?

Dean: Right. Right. ‘Cos you’re not Ruby. You… I mean, how could you be? You… are Of course! You are the lovely actress that plays Ruby. [Awkwardly laughing] And you… are in Jared’s house because… you two are, uh…. Married! You married fake Ruby?!

HAHAHA. That’s all I have to say on that.

Genevieve: You’ve never even been to our house.

Dean: Well… now that I know there’s an alpaca out back, I’m definitely coming back.

Genevieve: Alpacas are the greenest animal.

Dean: Right. Right! That is so important…

I couldn’t breathe. Let’s just put that out there. But don’t judge. I’m not crazy. Pretty sure everyone else was having a hard time breathing, too!

Secondly, Castiel! Or Misha, as he is known by everyone.

Dean: His names Misha. [Making a face] Misha?

Sam: Wow. Great.

Dean: Misha? Jensen? What’s up with the names around here?

So “Misha” Is a tweet crazy actor. Who tweets EVERYTHING.

Misha: You guys, you really punked me! I’m totally gonna tweet this one! [Pronouncing everything slowly] “Hola, Mishamigos. J-squared got me good. Really starting to feel like one of the guys.”

Misha: Ooh, priority. What’s in it?

Sam: I bought part of a dead person.

Misha: Alright, cool.

Dean: So… bad news. Looks like we’re gonna have to do some acting.

Sam: [Makes a WTF face] What?

THEM TRYING TO ACT IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I’VE SEEN. Those caps were so necessary. Dean’s pouty, serious face and Sam’s over exaggerated hand gestures… I was laughing so, so hard.

So after a break in which Sam says “Who wrote this?! Nobody says Penultimate!” to which Dean replies “Gun. Mouth. Now.” Misha tweets…

Misha: “IMHO, J&J had a late one last night. ROTFLMAO”

It has to be said that while typing and speaking out what he was typing, Misha spelled out “IMHO” and “ROTFLMAO.” Letter by letter.

Last tweet from Misha is one posted once he gets into his car.

Misha: “Ever get that feeling someone’s in the backseat?” … “Frowny face.”

Yes. Especially when there IS someone in your backseat. I was highly unimpressed by the Misha death! SERIOUSLY.

Homeless Witness: The scary man killed the attractive crying man.

But on a better note, what was amazing was that @mishacollins tweeted tweets by Misha on the show as they happened. I don’t think I can love the man more than I already do.

So hilarity aside, Virgil, heaven’s weapons keeper, busts in around the set after Sam and Dean beat him up, killing everyone. THEY KILLED SUPERNATURAL. AU Bob Singer, AU ERIC KRIPKE. He killed them all. Well, all except one.

Returning to the set so Raphael can snatch him out of this Alternate Universe, Virgil gets sidetracked when Dean and Sam tackle him to the ground and beat him up. But Raphael's here and he pulls Dean and Sam out, instead. Or should I say she?

Dude does. Dude's Raphael. And she... he demands that Balthazar give him the weapons that he stole. But what does Balthazar reveal? That Cas has them all.

Raphael: Castiel.

Castiel: If you don't want to die tonight, Back Off.

Well that sent the bitch running.

After getting back to Bobby's it's explained to us that Sam and Dean were the stick to Virgil's game of catch and that Balthazar used these two "Marmosets" as distractions since he needed time to find heaven's weapons. An annoyed Dean and Sam are given an apology by Cas but he explains that he would've done the same because Raphael cannot win the civil war in heaven.

And then angel go poof.

It's really worth the watch, guys. Watch it over and over again!

Thumpa, out! ;)
