Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Hehe, I noticed that, too, but having Dean say "I'm gonna' ram my fuckin' fist down your throat and pull your asshole out of your mouth, you tea-baggin' knuckle dragger!" wouldn't go over too well with the network me thinks lol.

Yes, the angel's messages come across cryptic just to be cryptic and it's irritating.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

He went off with Ruby on some mission in the first couple of minutes and we never saw him for the rest of the episode.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Just watched this last. Wow! What an enjoyable episode on many different levels. The actress that played Dean and Sam's mom....whew!! Is she in the tribute to blondes thread yet? As mentioned, some of the tributes to Back to the Future were very cool. This show continues to provide solid entertainment.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

I said it once...I have said it a hundred times. Supernatural hires the hottest actresses.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Last night's episode was alot of fun. I loved the opening credit sequence done like a movie's opening. And while The X-Files did a similar episode (but that went for more drama and heart than comedy), I liked Supernatural's crack at the homage to black and white monster movies more than I did The X-Files.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Last night's ep was awesome!

Had a very old-school horror movie mood to it and felt like a walk through a funhouse. The specialized credits reminded me of the Buffy musical episode Once More with Feeling.

Dean, man, that dude get's the hottest women...sometimes I hate him lol.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

"Agents Angus and Young".

"X-Files was a TV show. This is real".

This show cracks me up.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Dude...Giant pretzels!

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

I enjoyed seeing the scared Dean, but what really made the episode was the post-episode Dean/"Eye of the Tiger" skit. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Almost worth the price of the dvd just for that.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

That was pretty classic. It really kind of shocks me that Ackles doesn't seem to be working some decent film work into his schedule. Maybe Dean Winchester is just the perfect role for him or he doesn't want to work particularly hard during the off-season, but he's really too good to "just" star on a fifth-network action hour.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Frightened Dean was a laugh riot!

"You sayin' i'm a dick?"

"If i'm a dick your a dick."

I lost it when an episode of Gumby was too much for him. Also when he was running for his life from that cute lil' Terrier reminded me of an exchange from Seinfeld...

Elain,
'There was a dog downstairs and he scared me."

Jerry,
"Was it a white dog?"

Elain,
"Yeah."

Jerry,
"Snowball? Your afraid of Snowball?"

Kramer,
"Little Snowball? He runs on batteries."

And yes, his little ending musical number with 'Eye of the Tiger' was something that i'll never forget, mostly because if I had been drinking something I would have shot it out through my nostrils.

Hearing the guy laugh through it made it all the funnier.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Loved it. Scared Dean was Classic.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Funniest thing I have seen on tv in years....



For those who haven't seen it...Enjoy.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

LOL! Even funnier the second time around, love it when he uses his leg as a guitar.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Don't forget the cross roads demon had red eyes.

Anyone catch the remark by Cas that he and Uriel were sent to follow Dean's orders? I think I figured out Sam's future role a short while back, but now Dean's destiny is becoming a little clearer.

By the way, according to lore, Uriel is one of the archangels. He's on par with Michael, Gabriel and Raphael among others. He also has authority over the forces of the natural world like storms and fire. He's known for his furious hatred of demons and is pretty much the most aggresive angel among his peers, making him a close match in combat to Michael, lord of the archangels.

By the way, Uriel was just introduced in the latest book (# 10 ) of The Dresden Files - Small Favor, though he doesn't exhibit the above characteristics that have been ascribed to him. If you're a fan of Supernatural, you owe it to yourself to read all books of The Dresden Files. Each one just keeps getting better than the last.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Wow, Uriel is a bad-ass.

Hey, isn't there a "Dresden Files" show on Sci-Fi? Is that the same as the books you're referring to?

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Was, past tense. They should have made each book into a "made for TV movie" or miniseries rather than trying to compress whole books into single episodes. They would have run out of material pretty quick. Maybe they thought they could bring other writers to write stories in the "Dresden" world but I doubt that it would have worked well.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Was the show cancelled? I guess it didn't do well in the ratings?

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

I wonder if destroying the town was a test for Dean. He passed because he stood up to the Angels and saved the town.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

RE: Dresden
I remember it being one of the Friday night shows that got moved to the deep dark night, like Charlie Jade. (I think)

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

It got moved to Sunday nights. I think it could have been successful if a couple of tweaks had been applied.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Trust me guys, the Dresden Files tv show failed miserably as an adaptation to the books. I realize that it can be difficult to write a tv show from a series of books, but the scripts really divirged too far from the novels. For one, the girl who played the girlfriend Susan Rodriguez in one episode looked exactly like Murphy looks in the books. Small, blonde and cute. And Valerie Cruz, who played Murphy, looks exactly like Dresden's tragic love interest Susan Rodriguez is supposed to look. Taller, hispanic and a darkly sensual beauty. The Bianca character was totally out of character, and Ancient Mai isn't supposed to be so prominent. They got Morgan almost right though. Aside from the actor being a different race, he's pretty much a dick in the tv show and through most of the written series. Bob the spirit is very different, but the actor made him pretty believable.

I'm sorry, I think I've sorta sent this thread in a different direction. But when they introduced Uriel, it just made me think immediately about the Dresden Files and the similarities that are starting to crop up. For one, just think of Sam and his demonically powered abilities. Then think of the "guest" Harry carried around in his head for several years. An avatar of a fallen angel named Lasciel who gave him access to hellfire, which he has used with devastating effect, especially when he get really pissed. You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if the script writers of Supernatural are also fans of the Dresden Files. Especially considering that Harry's mother's maiden name is LeFay and the "Prince of Darkness" had a real intense interest in her. I'm actually drawing even more connections as I sit here thinking about this.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

Hopefully the above post ends the "Dresden Files" talk in the Supernatural thread.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

For all fans in the NYC area. The Jet game will preempt both Smallville and Supernatural Thursday night. The episodes will both air on Saturday starting at 6pm.

Re: SUPERNATURAL - Season 4 thread

No comment on the large talking Teddy bear lol? That was both the most hilarious and bizarre thing i've ever seen.

"A tea party!? Is that all there is!?!?"



And did you ever think you'd live to see a Teddy bear commit suicide with a shotgun? I didn't.
