Supernatural Episode Review - 4x08 - Wishful Thinking
Who’s this chick that flies on Smallville? Brainiac? Seriously? Man, I thought we had to suspend believability in Supernatural sometimes…Smallville just makes me giggle - and I don’t mean to dis it or anything…it’s just…campy.
Then: HHH! Dragging out of hell & show respect. Dean lying about blacking out hell. And the angel asshole. Sam getting the smack down.
Now: SHOWER PORN! Or not. DAMNIT! Why can’t it be the BOYS in the shower?! So instead, some random chick is showering and there’s a peeping ghost. Towels never stay that well for me. I move and I lose the damn thing halfway to the bedroom. Fuckers. I want one like that that stays on through a hurricane! The ghost has wet feet too…and is totally spying on chicks in the shower. Towel girl throws one of the towels randomly…because it’s convenient and instead of landing on the floor, it lands over some high-pitched kid’s invisible head - because he can’t be a ghost if the towel sticks. Cue screaming.
The boys are in some bar and Dean’s throwing back drinks like they’re going out of style. Sam’s asking Dean why Chuckles would tell him he remembered hell if Dean really doesn’t. Dean shrugs it off because we’re still all about the lying. Radical flair boy, their waiter is very…attentive. LMAO - He has lots of FLAIR. I wonder if he has the required 16 pieces of flair? “I don’t really like my job, so I don’t think I’m gonna go anymore.” “So you’re going to quit?” “No, not really.” “Sorry, gotta go, I got a meeting with the Bob’s.” “Excuse me! Excuse me! I think you have my stapler…” “I used to sit over by the windows and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry - and then they moved my desk. And I said if they moved my desk one more time, that that was just going to be it, I was going to burn the place down.” “I was told I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume!” *ahem* Sorry. Anyway, through the course of the conversation about Dean not remembering and LYING TO SAM’S FACE - which…dude…bad, and the slamming drinks back, the dude comes back like a billion times to ask them if they’d like various other menu items. Dude I’m gonna rip that flair offa yur suspenders and shove ‘em up yo ASS if you don’t get the fuck away from their table - the boys are TALKING here. Even Sam’s serious hint of wibble-face does not crack the concrete façade of Dean’s denial.
Finally after the Ice cream extreme menu item, flair boy takes a hint and Sam give up on hell for a moment to discuss the case. In Concrete, Washington, a vengeful spirit has been haunting the showers of a women’s health facility. This is obviously the invisible nerd. Dean barely hears health facility, he only needed “showers of women’s” and he’s good to go save some naked chicks.
They boys arrive and Sammy gets out…at a Chinese restaurant…cause he’s a growing boy who needs more sustenance? Or no, I guess he’s meeting Candace “Mrs. Armstrong” - who was nto surprised that the spirit world chose to make contact with her, because she’s “sensitive” which Sam can sense as well. *Snort* LMAO Sam told her he’s writing a book and Sam’s book is going to be called “Supernatural.” ROFLMAO. The ghost chased her and knew her name. She fell down the stairs, the ghost didn’t push her - the ghost helped her up. HAHAHAHA Sam’s confusion here is priceless. He’s also distracted by some geek macking with a model in the booth across the restaurant - which is only relevant later, I’m not sure why that is so…shocking to Sam. Has he never seen “Beauty & the Geek?” What tips Sam off that this might not be a regular haunting is the ghost telling Mrs. Armstrong over and over: “Please don’t tell my mom.”
Dean found no EMF in the shower or anywhere else and he’s disappointed he doesn’t get to save any naked women. The boys get their first glimpse of KNEEL BEFORE TODD being chased by bullies and overhear the Sheriff & Gus discussing Gus being attacked by Bigfoot. The boys find tracks of big feet and follow the big foot tracks, *snerk* and I have to say, that’s never a line I thought I’d be typing on this show. “So, what, Bigfoot breaks into a liquor store jonesing or some hooch? Amaretto and Irish cream? He’s a girl-drink drunk.” LMAO The lines this year are SO amusing. *claps for Kripke & Co.* I loved the way Jensen said that first line, and I also wonder how long it took him to get ‘girl-drink drunk’ out. Dean pockets some liquor…you are so an alcoholic! Sam points to the magazines, Dean fills in: “He took the whole porno rack?” LMAO. The boys got nothing. They’re foreheads crease in confusion as they sit in tandem. Hee! Dean wonders if this Bigfoot is a “Deep-woods Duchovny.” Ya know, that’s really sad that Mr. Fox Mulder himself is reduced to the butt of porno jokes. I mean, I know the man has a problem and everything, I think it’s a rather strange problem since…doesn’t everyone have an obsession with sex? But…whatever. Anyway, it’s still sad. What’s sadder? That HE broke off the marriage shit. Boggles my mind sometimes. Ya think ya know a celebrity and then BAM! Sex addict! Anyway, as the boys are lost in thought - that’s when the porn flies out of the lil girl on a bike’s yellow milk crate attached to the back. The boys follow the big yellow crate home and man, the Impala’s looking sweet tonight - nice buff job guys.
The boys handling the lil girl is just adorable. Are your parents home? LMAO. Have you seen a really big, furry - *hand motions* LMAO. “He’s my teddy bear! I think he’s sick.” Dean fumbles for his badge. Actually - the hilarity of this scene is sort of off put by this little girls obvious LACK of world-know-how. You never open the door when your parents are in Bali, and you certainly don’t entertain a conversation with two strange good-looking men who dig in their pockets for…badges. If they offered her candy, I would have shot her. But of course, it’s all ok - because they’re teddy bear doctors - they’d be happy to take a look at him. Oh man, this is killing me. Lil yellow informs them that “Teddy” is “pretty grumpy” and proceeds to knock on her own bedroom door. A large…man in a costume, drinking alcohol, informs lil-yellow to “Close the friggin’ door!” The looks on the boys’ faces. Hilarious!
Lil yellow informs the boys that all she ever wanted was a Teddy that was big and can talk but he’s sad all the time, not ouch sad, but ouch-in-the-head sad. LMAO. He says weird stuff and smells like the bus. Little girl…Audrey! I love Jensen’s look at the name correction. Teddy became real after she wished for it at the wishing well. Dean proceeds to enter the room and converse with a giant teddy bear. Teddy can’t believe the terrible world. WHY AM I HERE?! Audrey informs him it’s for TEA PARTIES of course! “Tea parties?! Is that all there is?!” *WHIMPERS* Sam excuses them. *Whispers* “Are we…should we…are we gonna kill this teddy bear?” “How? Do we shoot it? Burn it? “I don’t know, both?” “How do we even know that’s going to work? I mean, I don’t want some giant, flaming, pissed off teddy on our hands!!” Also a line I never thought I’d type on this show. Sam gets the feeling the bear is not the core problem.
Audrey’s parents wished themselves to Bali, so the boys are going to have to take care of sick Teddy, who has lollipop disease, which is not uncommon in a bear his size, but it’s really contagious. Oh my GOD I’m in TEARS trying to type this. PURE insanity. I love it. They’re SO sweet. The boys send Audrey to stay with Mrs. Hurley.
The wishing well is in the Chinese restaurant and they arrive as KNEEL BEFORE TODD makes his fateful wish. Dean tries out a wish of his own - and gets a footlong Italian with jalapeno stat, which is good, but will come back up to haunt him later. The boys try to figure out what to do - the wishes have to be rigged to have a bad side. Badges appear again, this time they’re with the Health Department - they have a rat infestation and will be shut down under Emergency Hazard Code 56C! They drain the fountain and find the Excalibur of coins stuck to the bottom. Sam refuses to make a wish because his is not what Dean imagines, the lawyer with the picket fence - as Sam says he’s not that guy anymore, which I think makes Dean kinda sad. However, if Sam was to make a wish, he’d ask for Lilith’s head on a plate, bloody. Well. Ok then. No more tea parties for Sammy. Don’t take candy from the scary violent man, kids. Of course then my mind jumps to - what would have that backfire have been like? If the wish went bad? So Excalibur - the boys try to remove it with carious implements, none of which work, but Sam does get to say, “Sir, I don’t want to slap you with a 44/16, but I will!” The look Dean gives him is just priceless - like attaboy Sammaaay! HEEE. The top of the mallet flying off tips them that it might be a magical coin. Sam takes a rubbing…………of the coin. Where was your mind going?
Sam leaves Dean to find out about the coin while he goes in search of something that just occurred to him…which turns out to be the peeping geek in the shower. He orders him to go home and put on some pants and it’s highly amusing. I was waiting for the Porky’s joke, but none came.
Meanwhile, Dean witnesses KNEEL BEFORE TODD chasing after bullies and then he’s busy throwing up his sandwich (The wishes turn bad, Sam, the wishes turn very bad - hee), but did find out that the coin is Babylonian and cursed. And serpent on it is Tiamat - LONG a like MOTTS applesauce Dean. Not MAT like MATTHEW. *shakes head* We have some pronunciation issues on this show. So Tiamoooott (applesauce) is not actually a god either, SHE was a goddess, but they do get it right that she represented primordial chaos. I know this because this was my major and I TA-ed the class and also was the Reading Adjunct Leader for it as well. So don’t try to pull any shit with this myth guys. I don’t know anything about Babylonian priests working dark magic, but the creation myth of Tiamat, the Enuma-Elish, has her first give birth to the first gods and then the storm-god Marduk ripping Tiamat apart and forming the heaven and earth with her body parts. While she’s usually depicted as a serpent, there is no actual basis for that appearance in the original myths. You guys learn SO MUCH from me, don’t you?! The wishes turn on the wisher - so they have to find the first wisher before chaos reigns the town is destroyed.
“Life is meaningless. Signed T. Bear.” ROFLMAO Oh my GOD this is so amusing. I mean he shoots himself and STUFFING FLIES OUT. And it doesn’t work. That was by far THE FUNNIEST thing I’ve EVER seen. I want to know who came up with that one. “WHHHHYYYYYY!?!?!?!?”
ROOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT! HEEEEEE! HOLY HELL THE KISS KILLS ME. TE MOVEMENTS KILL ME. HE KILLS ME. DEAR GOD. And ya know, I liked Rob before all y’all, so you can just SHOVE THE FUCK OFF. *ahem* *bounces* I’m extremely excited because I bought my advance tickets to see my boy today. And unlike all the weirdos, I just want to marry him and have his children…err…uhm…*coughs* So yes, I bought the ones for Friday, but I’m seriously thinking of going to the midnight show too. Is that weird? LOL
Dean’s dreaming about hell (CREEPY RED EYE THING! EEEE!) and Sam wakes him up. He knows Dean’s remembering shit - he’s with him 24/7 and he sees the drinking and that he has nightmares and Sammy’s worried about his bro. *sigh* Dean’s not having it. They’re looking for the first wisher and find it in the newspaper - engagements - it’s geeky Wes from the Chinese restaurant.
Geeky Wes wished for Hope to love him and boy…does she ever. She made a whole freaking turkey or hen or chicken or something. The florists are there……LMAO. They’re Health Dept. guys, florists, FBI and Teddy Bear Doctors on Thursdays! They’re so versatile! I would SO play doctor with them! I think I moaned a lil when the boys’ heads kept getting closer and closer as they watched Wes and Hope kiss and they were almost kissing themselves. *ahem* Wes collects coins and one of them is from his grandfather - ‘cept grandfather told him no one should ever use the coin. So he gave the coin a shot.
Something’s gonna happen - they try to tell Wes. Something bad…like us, Sam finishes. Hee! You so scary Sammy. *giggles* The boys really wish he’d come with them. HEE - Dean pulls a gun, so Wes goes. Sam tries to tell him that the wishes go bad and town is going insane. Dean says that their relationship is not functional nor healthy and Wes should see that. Dean tells him he shouldn’t get what he want like this - it twists everything…and then they hit something. HAHA They hit the invisible pervert! LMAO Wes still thinks it’s a load of shit because he doesn’t look like Sam and Dean - they’re good looking and everything is easy for them. “Easy?!” they say at the same time. Sam says they don’t have it easy and Dean agrees that they’re miserable and they never get what they want. Awww poor boys. Dean says they have to fight to keep what they’ve got and Sam says that’s the whole point. Dean says people are people because they’re miserable bastards who never get what they want. Sam agrees that getting what you want makes you crazy. ROFLMAO - the boys rationalization is LOVE. Because they AGREE on it too. HEE! Wes is still clueless.
KNEEL BEFORE TODD has overturned the bullies in an SUV. I think I’ll try that at work tomorrow - “KNEEL BEFORE JONELLE!” I’ll get back to you on how that goes. “STAY AWAY MORTALS! THE NIGHT IS MINE! KNEEL BEFORE ME!” HEE! *GIGGLES* Too bad no one at work watches this show, because that would be SO FUNNY.
Dean says he’ll handle KNEEL BEFORE TODD and he sends Sam to the Chinese place. Dean tries to explain that with great power comes great…’cept he doesn’t get Uncle Ben’s line out cause KNEEL BEFORE TODD kicks his ass halfway across the street.
Wes is still being a whiney bitch and can’t understand why he can’t get what he wants. Sam informs him that’s life AND HOLY SHIT! Sam got electrocuted by ROGUE lightning from a single black could in the sky! RIGHT OUT OF HIS SHOES! SAMMY! HOPE DID IT! YOU BITCH! YOU LIGHTNING-ED SAMMY!
Wes picks up the coin and everything goes back to normal.
Dean helps out KNEEL BEFORE TODD and Wes gives Sam the coin after Hope leaves, not knowing him at all. Aww poor geeky Wes.
Looks like life’s back to normal - the coin has been melted down - Dean says Sam was right - he shouldn’t lied to him - he does remember everything that happened in hell………RIGHT SO TELL US - but Dean has he won’t tell Sam - he won’t talk about it. Sam says Dean has to let him help - Dean doesn’t htikn it’ll change anything or heal him at all - it wasn’t a bad day - there aren’t words for what he say and there’s not forgetting or making it better. Oh Dean. He tells Sam he can’t understand and he can’t make him understand, but he’s sorry.
That better not be the last we ever hear of that ya fuckers.
I WANT A FUCKING HUG.
Next week: Some girl that can hear angels and demons. Her name is Danielle Brown. Sorry.
