SUPERNATURAL - Season 5 - Page 2

 Another great episode.  I laughed at lound when he called Bobby "Ironside".   :)

I heard "Ironsides", which made me raise an eyebrow, but I rolled with it.  Bwahahahaha!

I think he called him both Ironside (at the graveyard) and the incorrect Ironsides (at the end of the episode).

I liked when old Dean thought he was having a heart attack and Bobby told him it was just acid reflux.

The grumpy old men line was a hoot too.  I enjoyed the show but this was a filler episode through and through.  Considering that the Apocalypse is on, this seemed more superfluous than ever.  Bring on some Lucifer!   What is he doing?  Attending prayer meetings?

Tonight's episode was the most hilarious thing any fan of old TV shows could witness!

My personal favorite was the Knight Rider part.

Love the use of the Full House letter font for the opening credits.

This season is on a roll with mixing lots of humorous episodes with the main storyline, love the approach.

I hope you guys were on the ball with your remote trigger fingers so you didn't fast forward through the Herpes commercial thinking it was a real commercial.

John,

I absolutely agree - that was one of the most entertaining hours of television I have ever watched - everything about it was great.  The herpes commericial was pure genius and the bit with Dr. Sexy was also rich.  Talk about some pretty pointed slaps at David Caruso...yow

I couldn't get over the wall at Seattle Mercy.. now that  Grey's Anatomy has had it's hospital joined with Mercy West.. and funny to reference Denny's ghost.. considering the role he played as their father on Supernatural ;)

Loved the whole thing.

Agreed.  I LMAO during the this one.  The trunk scene when Sam was in KITT mode was gold.  Loved it.  Also great to see this episode neatly tie what appeared to be a stand alone episode in with the Armageddon one so deftly.  Kudos.

Dr Sexy MD! LOL  I hate procedurals! LOL again - especially with the sunglasses at night posing. Hilarious.

The David Caruso slaps were pretty hilarious.  CSI: Miami is the one show my wife won't watch.  She loves the CSI's but just for Caruso she can't/won't watch that one.. the jabs made us both laugh.  :)

Some funny bits but nowhere near as good as I thought this one would be with the boys tricked into visiting a SuperNatural convention.

 They caught the whole feel of a fan convention to a tee.  Loved Dean's reaction to finding out they other Sam & Dean were lovers.   :)

This one didn't do much for me. 

While they can't show Death on a TV budget (and even if they had a movie budget, it's probably better to not show it), it felt like there was a couple scenes missing between that scene and the end with them at Bobby's place.

Totally.  If they can't show Death at his fiercest, go the opposite way and make him a reject from The Big Bang Theory.

 On a side issue.  I wonder if Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who played Sam & Dean's Dad) didn't become so popular showbiz wise.  If his character would have lived and become more like the Bobby character.  Someone the boys would come to for aid and guidance.  

Playing DVR catchup tonight.  Good to see the Winchester boys back in action.  I always wonder how dumb these people are on the show that conjur up demons (within the mythos of the show) and yet, they always seem to keep coming up with good ways to bring them arond.

While I thought last week's episode in the insane asylum was a pretty creepy one, I laughed a fair bit this week :)

I'm sure it was more of a plot hole but I found it funny that the two kids didn't seem particularly bothered that their other friend was dead at the end of the episode.

I enjoy the stand alones - they are funny - but come on where the FRAK is the Apocalypse? At this rate another season makes a lot of sense.

My guess is that because they're working on a TV budget, there's not going to be lots of episodes that will deal with it.

Oh no doubt but if they are going to tackle the issue they should have had a plan in hand.  Ignoring or pretending it is not happening is the poorest way creatively they could have chosen.

They did tackle it.  The demon hoped to deliver the occupied vessel over to Satan since it would be easier that way.

Referencing is a far cry for being the active story line.

Sigh.  In a bad and exasperated way.

As soon as Dean told his mother who he was it was a given that the episode was going to hit the big old RESET BUTTON.  Which they did and so well everything in the episode - except for the appearance of Michael - was for naught.

This story telling device is my biggest pet peeve.  

I didn't see the episode as a reset button at all.. the one thing is, that it provided the boys with a different way of looking at how serious this is.. they will remember it, especially the conversation with Michael, where he basically intoned that he'd make it so difficult that at some point Dean would give in.. plus, it provided a means to off Anna, which settles some storylines.

CW Plans to Renew Superatural; keep it at Vampire Diaries as a block next year..

Tell that to Sam and Dean's parents.

While for them nothing happened, they have never been the focal point of the story, outside of the father in maybe season 1.

 

The story was really about changing things for Sam & Dean, and for them, things definitely did change.  Anna is now eliminated, we've had our first one on one with Michael and we now know why Dean was picked.  We also know that at least from the Angel's viewpoint, Dean's non-compliance is mostly an annoying formality...

Sad use of the parents.   May not be the focal point of the series but they definitely played a big part in the make up and motivations of the Sam & Dean.  They deserved better treatment.
