It took me a few minutes to gather my thoughts after this twisted, yet hilarious episode. Said thoughts are under the cut.
Tonight's episode of Supernatural shall forever be listed amongst the 'strangest' television episodes I've ever seen. A wishing well? An emo!teddy who likes porn and girly booze? Dude, where exactly did the Winchesters make that wrong turn which ended them up in the Twilight Zone? I was half-way expecting Rod Serling to make a special cameo appearance from beyond the grave.
Now, don't get me wrong... My statement above isn't meant to insinuate that the episode was bad. On the contrary, I found this episode to be an absolute BLAST.
Let's break it down:
1. Waiter at the beginning -
Oh, come on... Who didn't love this guy? He had perfect hair, clearly had a thing for the Winchesters, and he ended every statement with 'awesome'. And don't even get me started on the looks Dean gave him.
2. Dean wanting to save 'some naked women' -
That's our boy! Always thinking with his downstairs brain. We love you, bb.
3. An emo!bear with a taste for 'busty asian beauties' and girly flavored liquor -
The jewel of this entire episode was this bear... I don't care what anybody says. I swear, I laughed my ass off every single time he was on-screen. Whether it was him bitchin' about the war in Iraq and whether or not life was worth living, or trying to blow his stuffings out only to fail and scream out "why" in an overly dramatic tone... Seriously, this was hysterical. And slightly disturbing considering the fact that Ben successfully caused me to laugh at the suicide attempt of a child's toy.
Dude, you and the Kripkeeper are corrupting me... Stop it. By the way, I want one of these teddy bears for Christmas. kthnx.
4. "We're teddy bear doctors." -
Is that a fact? Well then, my stuffed teddy, Alex... He's been a little under the weather as of late. You guys think you could stop by my house next Thursday, and give him a 'physical'? I'd appreciate it. *wink*
5. So do we shoot it? -
This conversation was priceless. I don't think I have laughed as hard during a converse between these two over killing something as I did then.
6. "Run, Forest, run!" -
Dean, stop it. That's the second time in two episodes that you've picked on a little kid. Behave yourself or else I'll send Castiel to smite your ass. And I don't mean that in a good way.
7. Dean getting manhandled by said kid -
See? It doesn't pay does it?
8. What's poking me? Oh, it's Invisiboy! -
This guy was awesome in a very pathetic and sad way. And did anybody else notice how Sam's eyes diverted down? Uh-huh. I see whut you did thar, Sammy. You don't have anybody fooled. We know. And, OMG... Dean hit the poor boy with the Impala! D:
9. Sammy being blasted out of his shoes -
*laughs until she's unable to breathe*
10. "It's all up here." -
And thus the gut-wrenching ending. Considering the fact that I'm currently studying psychology, I'm very anxious to see how Kripke and Co. handle Dean's mental state through the course of the rest of this season. Judging from what Dean told Sam, the acts he had to endure were just simply atrocious... No one experiences something like that, and isn't mentally damaged in some way or another.
Another thing that broke my heart was the fact that Dean is having to bear the burden of those said memories on his own because he can't bring himself to tell Sam about them.
You're breaking me here, Kripke...
Fantastic episode, as par for the course where this series is concerned.
Kitsu's Final Grade: B
As for next week, all I'm going to say is: squeak.
