SPN Friday Five: Week Twenty-One
It's been a while since I did this on a Friday:
1. We see that the episode are starting to "recycle" some of the season one monsters. What monsters would you like to see revisited?
I like the Wendigos. Actually, I like the episode Wendigo itself. The boys were being expository without dumbing down the other: you know, the one where Sam explains everything and Dean nods along...
2. In the season one finale, Sam draws the devil's trap onto the impala and explains its function, and although this symbol is not brought up again, the episode title is Devil's Trap. What do you think is its the significance?
I think it's to bring up the Devil's Trap at Bobby's, and not so much the trunk being a makeshift black box. See how said sign was being repeated in Crossroad Blues. One never knows with SPN: We've seen Devil's Gate being brought up in the Pilot, No Exit and Born Under A Bad Sign. Something's up, definitely; everything's not gone.
3. What is your favourite season two episode so far? And why?
If I have to pick just one, it'll be Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. I like undead chicks as they always seem to kick butt more than usual. The one-line zingers, Sam's Latino lesbians, Dean's angst and the eventual breakdown were just some of the elements that made this episode more than awesome. Nightshifter and Tall Tales are up there too.
4. Sam or evil!Sam?
Tough choice but I'll go with Sam. Sam evolved so much this season and it's a thrill to watch him; he's growing on me. Evil!Sam is a different Sam [depending on who's in him, of course]: a novelty. The latter can come out and play now and then :o)
5. If the Winchester brothers got tossed into another fandom (TV show, book, etc), which fandom do you think they'll be the most at home in? Which one would they be the most out-of-place in?
I'll throw them into Farscape. All those toys, leather pants [and not], talking mothership, kickass females and um, other breathing things. Not to mention wormholes--wait for it; Dean will come up with a crack soon. Their brains will literally leak out in insipid places like Desperate Housewives. That's a whole new horror for them.
