I tried. I reaaaaaaaally tried to review this episode and I just COULDN’T. I was laughing so hard no matter how many times I tried to recap the scenes and then alternately CRYING because all I could think about was a wee!Dean! who was probably actually that scared at the beginning and how much both boys must have had to BURY in order to do this job and it just BREAKS MY HEART. So they’ll be a nice list of favorite moments because that’s about all I could do in between wheezes.
Then I started to get mad because this would have been an AWESOME reverted!Dean! episode - which they HAVE to do sometime. And there’d be big Sam - trying to take care of a lil Dean, who is so unlike his big brother and so unlike the little big brother he remembers. Awww. OR YA KNOW WHAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER?! If BOTH boys got turned back to lil boys and BOBBY was left with the two of them!
Also? “Ghost sickness?” SERIOUSLY? ROFLMAO. We come up with words like “Rougarou” and “Rackshassssa” or however the fuck it was spelled and the best we can come up with is “Ghost sickness?” *SNORTS* Kripke, you so fail at naming this one. And then trying to redeem yourself by naming the ghost ‘type’ a Buruburu just FAILS some more. Kripke 0! Seriously - MAKING SHIT UP - they make shit up so it sounds funny coming from their mouths!
And fucking tease Kripke! You showed me the HOLY HOTNESS in the THEN and he was NOT IN THE NOW. HE BETTER BE IN NEXT WEEK’S EPISODE!
- - Heh - bullets. HEHE *ahem*
- I still laugh hysterically at Jared’s attempt of “I have DEMON blood in me Dean.” DEMON blood. I just…can’t take it seriously.
- I MISS YOU YOUR MOST HOLIER THAN THOU HOTNESS!!!!! Please say “perdition” again.
- Dean running in a suit Tom Cruise - The Firm style was kinda hot. Boy can run, I tell ya. And then the dog that’s chasing him is SO FUCKING FUNNY. He’s ok until he hits that damn cart that the inconsiderate homeless Joe has left in the middle of the alleyway next to the trash bin where no one goes…….the way the dude looks at him too - yelling and pointing at the tiny dog with the PINK ribbon when he’s just upended the poor man’s entire…belongings. LMAO. “It’ll kill you!” HEE! arf arf
- Oh GOD - 43 hours earlier? I’m having flashbacks to J.J. Abrams. *rubs temples*
- The autopsy doctor dude -
- Dean has a lot of “heart” problems…doesn’t he?
- The whole autopsy heart-holding and spleen juice-squirting was just…too amusing. As were the looks.
- My captions tell me that Waylon Jennings “Slow Ridin’ Low” is playing in the sheriff’s office, but I’ll be damned if I can hear it.
- The look that Dean gives Sam in the sheriff’s office when the dude keeps putting on more Purell is just SO funny.
- Sam’s subsequent WTF look at Dean’s “I don’t like the way those teenagers look down there.” This was classic. The LOOKS this week were just AWESOME.
- SOMEONE finally noticed that the boys use names of rock stars. HEE! And the squirming Dean with all the reptiles and amphibians - which Jesus, dude had more than a freaking pet store or SWAMP and he achieves a whole new level of weird by naming his snakes Donnie and Marie…although……………it might fit. And the wonderful John Hughes homage was a nice touch. Also? “He was a dick.” “A dick?” Since when has “dick” been appropriate for TV. Like…really. I mean, I don’t have an issue, but when did it cross over to the safe list? Or do we just get away with it because we’re bad ass?
- The thought of Dean Winchester ever going 20 MPH SLAYS me. And where the hell is there a 20 mph speed limit unless it’s a school zone? Seriously? “Safety’s a crime now?!” “I’m not gong to make a left-hand turn into oncoming traffic! I’m not suicidal! Did I just say that? That’s kinda weird.”
- EMF-DEAN! “AM I HAUNTED?!”
- EYE OF THE TIGER WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. AND THEN? IT GOT BETTER! HEEEEE!
- Sam looks SO confused by all of Dean’s non-Dean-like behavior. DID HE JUST PUT DOUGHNUTS IN THE CAR AND NOT EAT ONE?!?!!?
- Ghost Sickness? Seriously? “God no. I don’t even know what that is.” LMAO. Ghost sickness can spread like any sickness. *SNERK* I cannot take this seriously. Gamecocks & Cornjerkers. LMAO
- SPLEEN JUICE!
- The whole “Dick” theory turns out to not be true…so why do we feel the need to make Dean feel like a dick, huh? Jerks! I loved Dean’s “Well then you’re a dick too!” “Apparently I’m not!” HEE! “Our room is on the fourth floor, it’s high.” “I’ll see if I can move us down to first.” “Thanks.” “Sure.” This ep is LINE HEAVEN.
- The pictures in the Ghost Sickness book? So icky. You’re dying….Again….Loser!!!! LMAO “You Gonna cry? baby gonna cry?” Aww poor Dean.
- Death to all mocking clocks!
- “Quit picking at that!”
- Dean hocks up a woodchip and apparently, that’s good news to Sam? YAY!
- “I don’t wanna be a clue!”
- “I’m not going in there!” *SNERK* But Sam needs backup so Dean drinks a little courage.
- “I’m not carrying that! It could go off! I’ll man the flashlight.”
- And I love how they both totally ignore and don’t acknowledge that Dean was totally hanging onto Sam’s sleeve.
- Screaming at the cat was just….I couldn’t even BREATHE. “That was scary!”
- RUNNING like a cheetah out of the lumber mill when the ghost was gonna come out. All I could think of was “And admit it, you ran like a woman!” “Hey, if you saw this thing you’d run like a woman too!”
- “Is he…drunk?” “No.” “Know what? You’re awesome.”
- “These badges are fake. We could get busted. We could go to JAIL!” “Dean! Calm down! Deep breath. Feel better?” *shakes head* “Just come on. Don’t scratch!” *grabs arm*
- Dean’s meltdown! Screw this! What are we doing? We hunt monsters! We search out things that want to kills us! Or eat us! Crazy people do that! Bad diner food, skeevy motel rooms and the truck stop waitress with the bizarre rash. I drive too fast, I listen to the same five albums over and over again and I sing along! I know I’m annoying. Are you saying you actually enjoy spending 8 hours in the car with me? You’re gassy! “I’m out. I’m done. I QUIT!” Don’t think Sam was expecting all that. HEE! The look on Sam’s face - the complete and utter confusion and just…NO CLUE WHAT to do.
- That is a cute dog. Although I will never endorse the use of frilly pink ribbons in any dog’s fur.
- Dean raaaaaaan alllll the waaaaaaaaaaay hooooooooome.
- Awwwww. Poor Dean. With Sammy’s yellow eyes and awww. And that was way less climatic than I thought it would be. Sammy WANTING to become yellow eyes…..EEEEP!
- Dean’s alarm at Gumby!
- 4 MONTHS = 40 YEARS IN HELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! Oh my GOD!!!
- Bobby can speak and read Japanese. Heh. Bobby knows ALL.
- Buruburu sounds so…lord. *shakes head* Seriously this is like the Fear episode on Buffy - and he turned out to be that lil itty bitty demon. HEHE “Xander, don’t taunt the fear demon.” “Why? Can it hurt me?” “No, it’s just tacky.”
- LILITH YOU LITTLE BITCH! Seriously, that kid totally creeps me out. Dean clutching the Bible was amusing.
- Why DID it pick Dean?
- "BOBBY! PUNCH IT!” One of the best lines ever.
- And last but not least: “Aww.” “He’s adorable!”
Is that why? Is that why it picked Dean? I….I don’t understand. Because he’s hiding shit? Because he’s afraid…like DEATHLY afraid that that WILL happen to Sam, like the sheriff was afraid of someone finding out about him helping Frank? …..but the whole town knew…I…WHAT? GODDAMNIT!
This is one of the only times I’ve felt bad for the bad guy. Poor Luther.
Dean? What happened to the honesty? SHARE BOYS! And fucking HUG already. UGH. Yellow flash to Sam’s eyes? *sobs* Please don’t make him evil. Or if you make him evil, let him be hot….uhm…erm…no, that’s not what I meant.
I don’t think I have seriously ever laughed as hard as I did when Jensen did the whole Eye of the Tiger thing. For serious.
Next week: HALLOOOOOOWEEEEEN.
