Season 6 Episode 14

Okay. I’m going to say something I have never ever said before. I didn’t like this episode of Supernatural. Gah! I know! I don’t even know how I could say such blasphemous words. Please forgive me. The truth is, I felt like this episode was pulling me in so many different ways, that I couldn’t like it as a whole. I was prepared for an all out funny episode (With a touch of drama), filled with killer mannequins, Dean’s slapstick humor, and Sam’s pout face. Yes, we did get all that. However, what I wasn’t expecting the Lisa drama in the middle. I agree, we needed to have closure with Lisa and Ben, but was this the right episode to do it in? It just didn’t seem to fit. We’re used to comedy, drama, and heartfelt scenes in every Supernatural episode. That’s why we love it (Am I right?). But the combination of all these elements in this particular episode left me feeling unfulfilled and somewhat confused. It’s definitely my least favorite episode so far this season. Maybe it was because the title (See above) gave me too high of expectations. Or, maybe it was because we were being teased with previews of tonight’s highly anticipated meta episode (Sam & Dean meet Jared & Jensen?). I have no idea. I do know we need to recap and review this episode. Shall we?

We pick-up right where we left off last week, as Sam comes down from his wall scratching seizure (Don’t make me relive that again) and begins to wake up. I don’t know how many times we told Sam “Do not scratch the wall!” (At least 10, I’m sure), but he did, and Dean wanted to make sure he never did it again. Dean the big brother and makeshift doctor prescribed the ailing Sam a cup of joe, some grub, and a few “effective” pills for his ‘I feel like I’ve been hit by a planet’ headache. Dean told Sam he was out for a couple of minutes, but Sam told him it felt more like a week. “You wanna talk about it?” No, he doesn’t. Sam reassured Dean he was fine (Don’t keep your feelings bottled up Sam, just your memories). Dean was less certain about that. He ordered Sam to ignore his memories, shove them down and let them come out as “spurts of violence and alcoholism.” Yeah, Sam. I don’t think that’s healthy either, but you did agree to shut off the memory faucet. I just hope you keep your promise.

Don’t. Scratch. The. Wall. How many times did Dean have to tell you this, Sammy? It’s not that difficult to understand. Don’t scratch the wall. Damn. You scratched the wall. The last minute of Friday’s episode was one that mirrored Dean’s Hell in the season three finale; totally shocking and heartbreaking. Only, this time I wasn’t expecting it. Yes, Sam had scratched the wall, but was it really that bad? I would just consider that memory a small flesh wound. Why? Why did that have to happen? Couldn’t we have had a little bit more time with Old Sam before everything went to hell, literally? Yes. You’re right. We are getting ahead of ourselves, once again. For those in-the-know, please proceed onwards and downwards. The rest of you, hang-out up here for a while. This is a SPOILER ALERT!

This week, Supernatural gave us one unconventional episode – seeing as it was mostly told via flashback; back to the soulless year when Robo-Sam was hunting with Grandpa Samuel.

Cue flashback #1. Soulless Sam appears unapologetic as he shoots at several unnamed targets off-screen, while Grandpa Campbell seems a bit concerned about our boy and disgusted at the scene before him (That’s definitely not good). Making their escape, the dynamic duo get pulled over by a local cop. Seeing the blood stain on Sam’s jacket, the cop intends to arrest the two. Only, Robo-Sam doesn’t like that idea and proceeds to punch the officer’s face in (Ouch). In a strange turn of events, it is Grandpa Campbell who argues with Sam over his handling of the situation. “You think there are maybe calmer ways we could have done all that?” Sam just ignored him and drove into the night.

Fight the Fairies!

Dear, Supernatural. Thank you. Thank you for this wonderfully humorous and awesome pre-Thanksgiving feast for our eye sockets. I don’t know which I loved more, the amusing facial expressions and one liners from Mr. Jensen Ackles, or New Sam. I have to admit, he’s starting to grow on me. Don’t get me wrong, I still want the old Sam back. It’s just that New Sam’s lack of censorship is pretty entertaining, you have to admit. Did I mention, my sides were hurting after watching this episode? I guess I should have seen it coming, after that fateful day when the word fairies was uttered in the Supernatural universe. After Friday’s episode, it seems like once again, things are right in the world. It was a classic Supernatural episode. And that is something we can all be thankful for. For those who’ve seen Friday’s fairy-rific episode, clap your hands three times and read ahead. For the rest of you naughty fairies, say it together, SPOILER ALERT!

Three things teenagers should never do: 1. Make-out in a corn field 2. Look for whatever made that mysterious noise in the dark and creepy cornfield 3. Follow your boyfriend into the dark and creepy cornfield. I would think these things are known to be fact. Hasn’t anybody seen a slasher flick recently? I mean, really? Oh, look. Now you’ve done it. That football player has just been abducted by a mysterious orb of light. U.F.O? It could be, at least that’s what the famous Winchester boy’s think. Cue the X-Files themed opening credits (Which were awesome, except Castiel was nowhere to be found in this episode. Boo).

It’s rare, but it does happen. Friday’s episode of Supernatural wasn’t the best. Was it? I don’t know. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it, either. Remember that one scene with adorkable Sam? Yeah, I loved that. The other stuff, not so much. Maybe it’s the fact that even seeing (Or hearing) dogs (Fake ones) get hurt, makes me squirm in my seat. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re used to having significant plot twists and mucho action most of the time this season. Or the fact that after last weeks BOOM! BANG! BOOM! episode, no matter what happened this week, it would be a let down. Maybe it’s a combination of all of it. I just don’t know. No matter what the case, let’s break down All Dogs Go to Heaven. Shall we? Good. For those of you who have seen Friday’s episode, onwards and downwards. The rest of you . . . see the ball? See the ball? Go get it! It’s a SPOILER ALERT!

After a nice blood splatter from our first victim, we catch up with Sam and Dean in another road-side diner, were they probably serve a great bacon cheeseburger and a wicked home-made apple pie (Dean love’s him some pie). As Dean finishes his phone conversation with Bobby – who is in desperate need of more screen time, and another way to retrieve Sam’s soul – Crowley pop’s in for a surprise appearance. Dean once again rejected Crowley’s job offer. Crowley reiterated that the boy’s had actually been working for him for some time now, so the point was not up for discussion. Sam found out the hard way, after Crowley gave him a nice smolder on his colossal paw, (Why not, Dean? He was being the bitchy one in this scenario. Sorry) that they had no other choice in the matter. They made a compromise; tag and bag a real live alpha and Sam’s soul would once again be his (Tentatively).
