SUPERNATURAL - Season 3 (1 Viewer)

[TravisR]

The house looked familiar to me too. It MAY be the same Elm Street house from Freddy Vs. Jason. Both were shot in Vancouver and if memory serves, the house in FvJ isn't a set.

The last (I think) 4 episodes shot before the strike start running on January 31.

And for comic book fans, Wildstorm is doing another Supernatural mini-series starting in April.

Here's the link: Wildstorm

By the same guy who did the last mini? Why? It was an incomprehensible mess. I realize he's a producer on the show, but that doesn't make him a comic writer. Actually, I know why. I understand it sold like mad.

So, have they done the Jason episode yet?

 

[Patrick Sun]

A reminder - new episode tonight!

 

[todd s]

Shame on the CW. They had all of these free Thursdays to bring the show back. And they bring it back on the night Lost returns. :rolleyes

 

[Jason Seaver]

Rolling over and playing dead during sweeps does not exactly help keep good relationships with affiliate stations.

 

[TravisR]

Yeah, I wish they had put the episodes on during January but I can understand why they didn't.

I'm going to tape Supernatural and check it out later.

 

[Malcolm R]

"Lost" (10-12 million viewers) does not have the drawing power of "Grey's Anatomy" (18-20 million viewers), so it might actually be a good thing in overall numbers.

Plus, I've lost interest in "Lost" so it doesn't affect me anyway.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Oookay, did anyone else here run away from their tv's during that opening scene or am I the only one?

I cannot stand to watch anything that has to do with teeth. :frowning:

 

[AlexSchwarz]

How did they circumvent the Jason-problem in the previous episode, "Dream a Little Dream of Me"? (they wanted to use "Friday 13"-Jason but weren't allowed in the last minute due to copyright issues). Did the episode suffer, was ist obvious something was left out?

 

[Malcolm R]

That was supposed to be the Jason ep? I thought it was fine as is. It actually would have been odd if he was in it, IMO. The theme was more "Elm St" than F13 anyway.

 

[AlexSchwarz]

Good to hear. So did they have an alternate villain or nothing of sorts? (didn't see it and will have to wait for the dvds; not from the US)

 

[Malcolm R]

Yeah, there was definitely a villain, but it wasn't a role that would have required or benefited from the presence of Jason.

As noted, I'm surprised they were even considering using the character in this ep as I don't see how it would have fit at all, unless it was just to be a cameo of him moving through the dark, creepy woods with dialogue something like:

(Jason walks by, Dean sees him, Sam is looking the other way)
Dean: Sammy, did you see that?
Sam: What?
Dean: I swear I just saw Jason Voorhees walk by.
Sam: Dean, I know this is a dream, but now is not a great time for you to detour into complete fantasyland. Now let's get going.
Dean: (confused look toward the woods; then follows Sam)

 

[AlexSchwarz]

Well, in the interviews with Kripke he clearly stated that the Winchester boys were to FIGHT Jason in this episode, but your idea is nice, too.

But since it was not meant to be I'll enjoy that episode the way it is.

 

[todd s]

The episode was exactly the same as the movie Dreamscape...Even down to the bad guys father being abusive. And being used as a distraction in the dream to get the bad guy....

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Tonights episode had me holding my sides and rolling!

I just pictured the writers in a room and having a blast thinking up ways they could whack Dean and wishing I could have been a fly on the wall in that room lol.

 

[todd s]

So last week its was Dreamscape. Tonight its Groundhog Day. Right down to the memorable song when Sam wakes up.

 

[Malcolm R]

right before I watched "Mystery Spot".

 

[TravisR]

Me too. My favorite Dean death was hearing him slip in the shower and then they cut right to Sam waking up again.

Overall, this was a very good episode.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Finally watched the episode, and also howled at the Dean Death montage.
