5 Things: About SPN 4x05
5 Things About SPN 4x05:
That I Love
1. The Winchesters in black and white. If only their profiles could look that good constantly.
2. Dracula escaping on a Vespa. Awesome!!!
3. This ep feels like a love letter to the fans. The Dean-ishness of the ep; Oktoberfest, olde monsters of yore, the smoothest of Dean's hide, snippets of bro!angst.
4. The fact that the girl bar wench saved herself! In a Veronica Lake inspired gown no less.
5. This ep will more famously be known as the one with Dean in a Lederhosen. I laughed, I teared.
That I Like
1. Sam turned from pouty, to aggrieved acceptance, to near!hero. Sometimes, the boys need an old fashioned hunt to remind them of it should be most of the time. Saving people, hunting things, the family business.
2. The turn of the Dracula from being just one misguided shapeshifter to one really lonely shapeshifter. For a moment there, you kinda feel sorry for the guy. The actor did well in segueing crazy into melodramatic then back to crazy.
3. Ed Brewer is just that annoying and weird that he seems cool at the end. I like that he just likes playing the Casio. In his underwear. Hah!
4. Sam, eating!!! And Research Boy!Sam. In a bar too. I missed you, Sam.
5. Is it me or JA/DW can no longer jump over a gate now? Kinda lame plot point, allowing the villain to run away on a Vespa. And yet, maybe that's the whole point *dun, dun, dun*
That I Loathe
1. I know the ep is an homage to the old B&W monster movies but oh. My. Goodness. The. Slothness. Of. It. All.
2. The odd bit of Dean confession in the bar. Odd timing and pacing in my opinion but when does SPN ever swerves away ever from the angst that is Winchester?
3. I don't get the constant lipstick smacks on napkins. I mean, if it sucks to be a woman and wearing lipstick, could she/he like you know, don't wear it so much? Lame clue crumbs.
4. Sheriff Dietrich? Like, could he be any more German? Still, he was played well.
5. This ep dipped two of its toes into Campy-Land, and I'm not sure if I would rewatch it again that much in the future. Nonetheless, it was a good filler, just too slow for my absolute attention.
That I Quote
1.
Dracula: But I have a coupon.
Yes, we're all on a budget now.
2.
Ed: I'm not anything, I just like to play the Casio.
Hahahahahahahahaha....
3.
Dean: Oh, he doesn't drink. He's a Christian scientist. Doesn't even take aspirin. He's a real drag on stakeouts.
And Sam rolls his tongue in mock horror, and takes it like the wee brother that he is.
4.
Ed: (does his caped Dracula impression) You do believe me, don't you?
Sam and Dean: Identical WTF faces.
Love, love this WTF-ness from them. This reminds me of their encounter with the alien-afflicted guy from the Trickster ep. More identical WTF reactions from the brothers, please.
5.
Dean: Which leaves me to conclude, sadly, that my virginity is intact.
I'm with Sam; (fuh)-what?! Whatever blows your hair back, Dean.
