Generic Supernatural Episode: Season 2 Edition
So back in March (was it only March? I've become this hardcore in love with a show in just two months? Yikes...) I wrote a parody script poking a little affectionate fun at Supernatural. This is how we express love, where I'm from; we can't be bothered to waste quality mockery on things we don't even like.
I think I was about halfway through Season 1 at that point, so when a few people commented saying "Oh, this is dead-on for Season 1 of the show," the fact that they were specific about the season kind of gave me pause. Like, what, the show changes that much in the next season? Really? Should I be worried?
The answer to these questions, as I learned later, is "Well...yes and no."
Anyway. Since I discovered that my parody script was, indeed, only really applicable to Season 1, I have dubbed it "The Season 1 Edition" and decided that it needs a companion piece for Season 2. Accordingly, I give you:
Generic Supernatural Episode: Season 2 Edition
RECAP: Remember, kids: Our boys fight monsters, but that doesn't stop them from having truly monumental angst on a regular basis. Just so you don't forget.
SPOOK OF THE WEEK: Boo!
HAPLESS LOCAL: *perishes under suspicious circumstances*
MUSIC: Dun dun duuuunnn!
SAM & DEAN: *roll into town looking pensive and, in Sam's case, possibly vision-struck*
IMPALA: *sexy engine noises and 70s rock*
DEAN: I am here to kick ass while I struggle with the messy emotional aftermath of last season's finale.
SAM: I am here to help people and hopefully find answers about myself and my destiny.
GUEST STAR: Well, if you're looking for something weird to investigate, you might want to...
DEAN: I have more duty and self-esteem issues than should be humanly possible, so I make snide remarks.
SAM: I might turn into a super-villain at any time, so I give off a poor-lost-puppy vibe whenever I'm not being scarily intense.
SPOOK OF THE WEEK: Boo again!
ANOTHER HAPLESS LOCAL: *perishes*
SAM & DEAN: *call a cool recurring character for research help/advice*
GUEST STAR: Have some local lore.
SAM: The situation of this week's antagonist is in some ways unsettlingly analogous to my own predicament as a potential super-villain.
DEAN: I am tired, scared, and angry, and do not really want to talk about this right now. I'm going to go get arrested or otherwise inconvenienced by law-enforcement.
SPOOK OF THE WEEK: I'm actually not all that evil, just very misunderstood and possibly scared or confused. That is, BOO!
GUEST STAR: *narrowly escapes with life*
DEAN: Okay, this thing's going down.
SAM: But it's not really evil, just very misunderstood and possibly scared or confused!
DEAN: Hello? It's killing people! *racks shotgun*
SAM: And like I said, it actually has a lot in common with me and my whole situation with...
DEAN: La la la, can't hear you!
SPOOK OF THE WEEK: Look, let me make this easier for you guys. *puts GUEST STAR in immediate peril*
SAM: Okay, fine, I guess we have to shoot it.
DEAN: Thank you. *BANG*
GUEST STAR: Thanks for saving me. Now please go away, you guys are almost as scary as whatever that was that you just shot.
SAM & DEAN: *go to lean on the car*
SAM: I still want to know what's up with my whole dark destiny thing, but here, have some light sarcasm as a show of good will.
DEAN: Thanks. I still have Major Issues, but I'll see your sarcasm and raise you a cocky grin. *turns up the classic rock*
IMPALA: I am still the hottest thing on this show, and that's really saying something.
