Supernatural Episode Review - 5x08 Changing Channels
Then: Lilith was the last seal and Sam’s bad cause he let out D.W. *ominous choir tones* God is dead. *ominous choir tones* Paul is dead. Err…wrong genre. D.W. telling Sammy that he’s the Satanic Neo and Dean’s the Michael sword. And Tricksters. Boys are each other’s weakness. Yes, yes, we’ve heard alllllllll this before. Because we’ve watched it all before. Jesus, get a new schtick already. We end with unhappy puppy Sammy.
Now: Dean tells us Supernatural is filmed before a live studio audience. WOULDN’T THAT BE KINDA AWESOME?! I’d soooooo make sure I was in the studio like every week stalking them cheering them on. *coughs* So at the Sun’n Sands Motel, we open on a refrigerator that has “SMEAT” which I find HILARIOUS for some reason. I dunno why. Just go with me on this. There is also spray cheese, this is obviously Dean’s fridge. He has a GINORMOUS sandwich on the table and the audience cheers as he turns around (OBVIOUSLY). Dean announces he will need a bigger mouth. I refrain from comment. Sam walks in to his own cheers and repeats Dean will need a bigger mouth. Should…Dean be like…taking this personally? Because Sam’s making comments…is Sam too big for Dean’s mouth? Anyway, I digress from the sitcom Supernatural where Sam is asking if Dean did his research, which he did of course, all night, with the brunette in the bikini coming out of the bathroom. Sam is not amused. Dean lets out a highly feminine ‘son of a bitch’ and we are treated to the Supernatural Theme Song. Which I cannot even…there are no words. It’s like That 70’s Show meets Scooby Doo meets The Gay Bros. Winchester (WITH FOOTBALL). I…I have no words.
Two Days Earlier in Wellington, Ohio, Dean was watching a hospital soap opera and they’re impersonating FBI Agents because some dude’s head was ripped off by a bear, except this bear chased him through the woods, through his door, up his stairs and killed him in the bedroom. The Mrs. saw the whole thing and Dean schmoozes it out of her that it was really the Incredible Hulk, the TV version, not the movie knock offs. *snort* Sam went to check out the house and there is a giant 8-foot hole like “Hulk SMASH.” Dean found that bear dude had an anger problem. Sam has figured it out - it’s a Trickster. Dean’s wanted to kill the Trickster since Mystery Spot. Heh. Sam thinks they should talk to him first - maybe he can be useful cause he wouldn’t be too happy with his reality going poof. Sam says they don’t have the luxury of moral standards cause the world is ending. Dean is busy sharpening his stake…yes, I actually got to type that while Sam is watching paint dry…I mean, waiting for the police…radio…walkie talkie which…picks up all police signals? LEAVE IT ALONE. LEAVE IT ALONE. Sam is listening to the UNBELIEVABLE POLICE WALKIE TALKIE THAT HAS MATERIALIZED (I SAID LEAVE IT ALONE!) and they listen to a possible 187 (which is the murder code for those of you who didn’t watch the Samuel L. Jackson movie), who cannot describe what he’s seeing.
The boys disperse to a warehouse where there is no one, no police, etc. etc. They gear up and go in the warehouse and walk into a hospital…where they are clothed as such…and women call them “doctor.” *SNORT* When they try to go out the same door they just came in, it’s now a closet with people making out. Sam gets slapped like a second later and I die laughing. The nurse tells him he’s a brilliant coward and slaps him again and *snerk* the look on Jensen’s face is just SO FUCKING AMUSING. The chick was apparently Dr. Ellen Piccolo, the sexy yet earnest doctor at Seattle Mercy Hospital. LMAO This is even more amusing because Papa W. was ON Grey’s Anatomy, ya know? And I love that they’re being completely BLATANT with their fun-poking. Heeee! EAT THAT GREY’S. LOSERS! OUR SHOW KICKS YOUR SHOW’S ASS AND MAKES FUN OF IT TOO! BOO-YA! Even the music is hilariously Grey’s! HEEEE! “The seriouslys.” They are IN Dr. Sexy, M.D. ROFLMAO.
When we’re back from commercial, Dean “Seriouslys” and SERIOUSLY. HILARIOUS. He’s asking for theories and Sam thinks the Trickster has trapped them in TV Land. Dean thinks that’s stupid because Dr. Sexy, M.D. is a show with crew, actors, and crap and this looks real. Heee. As they discuss this, Dr. Wang, the sexy but arrogant heart surgeon passes by. *SNORT* And there’s Johnny Drake - a ghost in the mind of the sexy but neurotic doctor. ROFLMAO. I can’t breathe! Sam’s all: “This show has ghosts?! WHY?” MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY SAM, MY THOUGHTS EX-FUCKING-ACTLY. Dean says it’s compelling. YEAH OR NOT. Dean then notices ‘him,’ Dr. Sexy. HEH. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Dr. Sexy is wondering why Dean did the experimental face transplant on Mrs. Beale. He’s all fanboy until he sees the doc’s shoes, which are not the required sexy cowboy boots, but the white tennis shoes. Sam’s giving him shit for being a fan as everything freezes and Dick the Trickster morphs into himself. He couldn’t resist putting them into his own little idiot box. Sam wants to talk about him helping them, but Dicko will only talk to them if they survive the next 24 hours in the game. He’s mildly attractive in a strange, unexplainable, geeky, wrong, annoying way. I take no responsibility for anything I may say to this point. He then flickers out.
They boys try to decide what they should do now, Dean says he’s getting the hell out and they’re going to keep discussing when the sexy yet earnest Dr. Piccolo tries to slap him again, telling him he’s a coward and…wait…I think we’ve…we’ve done this before. Sam tries to tell her he’s not a doctor as the emo music starts and the melodrama kicks up a notch. Dean is approached by a husband who says his wife needs that face transplant and Dean tries to go the route of the ‘this ain’t real pal,’ but the dude pulls a gun and hauls off and shoots him. Dean’s all “Real! It’s REAL!” *SNERK* Sam yelling, “WE NEED A DOCTOR,” while STANDING THERE as one is just…this is so fucking funny. LOL
We then move to the operating room, full of emo music and the nurse is telling Sam about Dean’s stats, and of course, he has no idea what the fuck to do as Ellen watches on. ROFLMAO. Sam says he needs a penknife, some dental floss, a sewing needle and a fifth of whiskey. R&B music starts playing as Sam announces STAT. HA. He fixes Dean up and they’re suddenly now in a Japanese Game Show, “Nut-Cracker.”
Nut-Cracker is comprised of super-stick shoes that keep you on the platform and wrong answers = a very large ball-capped metallic thing crashing into your nuts. Sam’s first question is about which demon he chose over Dean. As Sam does not understand Japanese, he gets the answer wrong. The looks on both of their faces is just…priceless. Dean’s frightened when he realizes he’s probably next. LOL. THEN HHH SHOWS UP! WOOOO!!!! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HONEY! I’VE MISSED YOU! He’s all - yo - what are you doing here?! Apparently the boys have been missing for days. But then he’s suddenly flickered out and the announcer tells them that the Trickster does not like pretty-boy angels. LMAO. Dean’s question is “Would your mother and father still be alive if your brother was never born?” I think this is a highly inappropriate question for this game show hour. What if children were watching? Actually, I am rather offended by that question - thank God they DON’T understand Japanese. Dean’s all - dude - don’t wanna get hit in the nuts - what do we do!? Sam suddenly remembers that he played doctor and they got out - so Dean should just answer the question in Japanese. So he does. And his answer is yes. And I hate Kripke right now. Dean is Nut-Cracker Champion. Woo. Sense my enthusiasm as I was just royally pissed off by this rather amusing episode.
Commercial is really the boys, specifically Sam admitting that he has genital herpes. So he does, while playing basketball with Dean and the other boys. Dean lists the possible side effects of Herpexia. For a moment, I thought the Kohl’s commercial that followed was also the boys, but I was wrong.
And that brings us up to speed with the Supernatural sitcom. Sam escorts the bikini-clad chick out and the canned audience thinks everything is funny, from the we might have to do this forever to the ‘we might die in here.’ YAAAAAAAY HHH! He’s slightly beat up and tells the boys that he got out but something is radically wrong, because the Trickster is more powerful than it should be. Just as he’s about to tell them what it might be if it’s not a Trickster, he’s flown into the wall as, speak of the devil (wow not a funny joke NOW), he walks in and Cas has duct tape over his mouth. *snerk* Also? Note to everyone in the whole world: Injured men are hotter. So please, whenever possible, beat them up a lil. ‘Cause HHH just got another H for Hot to add to his name or an M for His Holy Motherfucking Hotness ‘cause of those scrapes and shit. Damn. Tricky Dick says a big ole HELLO to Cas and there’s recognition there and then he flicks him out. Dean’s concerned with where HHMH has been sent where Sam’s more concerned with Tricky Dick knowing the dude personally. Deans says they get it - that they’re supposed to “play their roles.” But Dicky says that’s only half the game - they need to play their roles out in the real world. Sam as Lucifer and Dean as Michael - the celebrity death match. Sam’s all - dude - then the world will end. Dicky finds it necessary to tell Sam that it his fault, which we ALL GET THANKS. Tricky’s all - let’s just get it over with. Dean asks which side he’s on and tells Dicky that he’s somebody’s bitch, even if it’s not Michael or Lucifer. He tells them they’re gonna suck it up and bend to “destiny.” And if they don’t, they stay in TV Land forever.
He snaps us to CSI: Supernatural, complete with bad, distasteful death jokes and sunglasses. Though the blue shirts? FUCKING HOT. Sooooooooooo nice. What a truly AWESOME color to put them in. Thanks. “Calm down? I am wearing sunglasses at night. Do you know who does that? No-talent douche-bags.” HEH. Dean hates procedural cop shows. Heee. The whole “Follow my lead” sequence though = made of win. ‘Cept for Jared’s lame-o idiot walking. LOL. Too dramatic. I can’t even properly review or comment because it’s just…it’s amusing in a really, really, really SAD way because they really do seem like this a lot. They stab the dude with a lollipop, but they’re mistaken, in that, it’s not actually that dude that’s the Trickster. But then Sam gets the real one and they’re back in the warehouse.
At the Day-Z Motel, Dean is finishing brushing his teeth and talking to Sam, who’s not in the room. Nope, Sam’s in the car, in the literal sense of the word, as in HE IS THE FUCKING CAR. He’s KITT Car from Knight Rider! He’s ImpaSam! HEEEEEEE KNIGHT RIDER THEME! I loved that show. ImpaSam even has the red lights in the front. TEEHEE! Sam talks through the radio just as KITT did. TEEHEE. They muse over the fact that Tricky Dick got upset over the Lucifer/Michael shit and that he knew Castiel. Dean thinks he knows what they’re dealing with. /Knight Rider Theme
HEEE. Sam tells Dean that whatever he’s doing in the trunk is uncomfortable and slamming the truck is painful. Dean yells that they’ll do it, that they’re saying ‘uncle’ as Sam wonders if he should honk. LMAO. Tricky Dick admires Sam’s rims, to which Sam tells him to “Eat me.” Dean wants Sam back to normal and he gets out of the car. Heh. Dean wants to know why the stake didn’t kill him and Sam throws a lighter which ignites a circle around Tricky Dick, aka, an angel, and they’re back at the warehouse where TD inquires as to where they obtained the holy oil. “Oh, you might say we pulled it out of Sam’s ass.” LMAO. TD asks where he screwed up, and they say it was more just that he got the drop on HHMH and that he talked about Armageddon like he was angry about family. He’s Gabriel - placed into self-imposed witness protection program. He didn’t want to watch his family turn on each other, so he left. Lame ass answer if you ask me. He says that Armageddon can’t be stopped - he just wants it to be over. Sam thinks there has to be some way to pull the plug. Gabe says though that it’s about two brothers that loved each other and betrayed each other. That they should be able to relate. They’re the vessels because Michael, big bro, loyal to absent father, and Lucifer, rebellious to daddy’s plan are the original brothers - at odds. It was always them (the boys) because as it is in heaven, so it must be on earth. One brother has to kill the other. And Gabe’s taken an interest in them for this reason, because ever since daddy lit up the room, it was always gonna end with them, always.
“No, that’s not gonna happen,” Dean says. Gabe apologizes but says it is - it’s gonna be a bloody end for everyone.
Dean wants HHMH back or else he’s gonna deep fry Gabe, so he snaps him back. I want that snapping power. HHMH is fine and they share nice hellos. Gabe’s bitter. He was cooler before when he wasn’t an asshole. Dean’s all - let’s go dudes. Gabe asks if they’re just gonna leave him there forever and Dean says no, because they don’t screw with people the way he does. And that it isn’t about prize fights between brothers, it’s about Gabe being too afraid to stand up to his family. WORD DEAN. WORD. FUCKING WORD. He pulls the fire alarm and the water puts out the oil-fire.
As they leave, Dean wonders if anything he said was true. Sam thinks he believes it. Dean asks what they should do, but Sam doesn’t know either. They both wish they were back on a TV show.
In the famous words of Grey’s Anatomy: Seriously?
Next week: Supernatural Convention. The whole story within the story within the story within the story is getting a little bit confusing actually. I’m not sure…what to do with this.
Ok. Now I’m getting really pissed off here. What IS the message exactly? That Dean and Sam are really fated to this match-up and they’re just gonna end the world? THAT has been the point of the five years we’ve invested in this show? Because every other fucking week someone’s telling them they better just own up to it and get it over with. Or are we supposed to take away from this that they’re fighting against what’s wrong and they’re right? I’m getting awfully…I dunno even know the word anymore. I’m not confused, I mean, I KNOW what should not happen - that the boys should NOT kill each other or whatever, that they shouldn’t end the world at all, that there has to be some other way, whether that’s HHMH finding God or whatever and their being an epic battle but with them on the same side - together, where they should be. THAT is their role. TO BE FAMILY and take care of each other and not fight against each other. I’m just…UGH.
Like…if this is supposed to be true, then freewill, choice, no longer applies? That destiny overrules those? I’m just…NO. I’m getting frustrated by this storyline. I love the direction - I love the idea of the epic battle, but I just…all this talk about predetermination and the IT MUST HAPPEN THIS WAY shit is just…it’s getting old.
*sigh*
