Can't sleep--clowns will eat me
Supernatural 02.02, 'Everybody Loves A Clown'--spoilers
Well, ninja_turbo can back me up on this--at the end of last season, i said Supernatural needed some ass-kicking chicks to join the show. Not necessarily as main characters, but as recurring characters, as backup to Sam and Dean. So i'm happy to see Ellen (Helen?) and Jo show up.
Tonight's episode was okay, although not as crazy as i was hoping. Which is okay--i imagine they're settling into the rhythm of the season and backing off a bit from the OMGWTFBBQ!!!1!1 of the last few episodes. Dean definitely knows something bad, and i agree that it's probably about Sam. The conversation at the very end was pretty interesting, although Surly and i both cringed about the crowbar-to-the-car incident. (It was in all of the ads for the new CW--they can't be ditching it!1)
Finally, a couple of notes from last week (because i felt silly posting *again* about it before tonight):
-First, can i just say that it made my medgeeky heart sing that when Dean woke up (okay, we'll ignore all of the sedatives and neuromuscular blockers he would have been on) and started breathing on his own, he started gagging on the endotracheal (breathing) tube in his throat. I mean, don't get me wrong--from a hospital/medical perspective, they pretty much screwed everything else up. But hey, it's tv; i'm thrilled they had him choking on his tube.
I'm such a nerd.
-Second, when Dean wakes up and the doctor says "you're all clear, the damage and cerebral edema are all gone," he leaves, and Sam asks if Dean remembers anything. Dean says no, but that he feels wrong, like there's a cold, bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Which is almost word-for-word what he says in the episode "Faith" after he gets healed by the Reaper. I hadn't realized that until i went back and watched "Faith" the other night.
I dig the parallelism that pops up occasionally in this show--another one i noticed was in the pilot, the whole Dean-slams-Sam-against-the-bridge and says "Don't you talk about Mom like that" is mirrored in a later episode--"Dead Man's Blood" (the vampire one), i think, only this time Sam slams Dean up against the wall.
Anyway. Tonight's episode was pretty okay. Not the best ever, but not bad neither. I'm curious to see what happens next. The ads hint to Sam starting to try to figure out what, exactly, the demon wants/wanted with him, and i imagine Dean will feel all sorts of guilty until he finally breaks down and tells Sam, or Sam finds out and they get in a fight.
Okay, off to bed for me.
