Review
I am not a cartoon fan and I'm certainly not a Dabb & Loflin fan, so I went into this episode with a lot of trepidation. Like many episodes that I go into with bottom barrel hopes, this one exceeded my expectations especially in the rewatch. While I did not find it near as funny as expected and anvils (both figurative and literal) were raining down like April in St. Louis, I found this episode to be completely middle ground. After watching it, nothing stood out as extremely good or extremely bad and in the long run it is utterly forgettable to me. Some of the constant things that always annoy me were there - increasing angel powers, no gloves at crime scene, secondary characters saving the day. These always take me out of the moment but it's getting to be an every episode thing these days and therefore still annoying but nothing special. The only thing that really irritated me beyond the norm was Dean offering Cas shotgun. That was beyond the pale for me and created a possible future scenario that would have had me ranting. However, since Cas is not joining them right now, the whole thing is tabled for a future rant. What I liked best were the special effects. The VFX team is really hitting it out of the park this season and much kudos to them. I don't know if they have a bigger budget or they got new equipment and people or what, but everything from Purgatory to the cartoon world in Fred's mind has been awesome this season.

My favorite moment was when Dean and Sam jointly said that Cas could not sit in the front and then Sam body checked him to be assured his rightful place. Loved that. I made me laugh more than anything else in the episode. My favorite line was by a secondary character, which is happening a lot these days too. Cop: "Do you boys chase the crazy or does the crazy chase you?" My answer - depends on the writer.
ReplyDeleteOK looks likes there is another change in Disqus again. Anyone know how to tag a discussion so all comments are e-mailed to you? It's the easiest way for me to know when to check the page to respond.

This was actually one of my favorites episodes of the season so far. Not sure where it ranks with 8x01, 8x02, 8x05 and 8x07 but it's up there with those. This season is more about my favorite scenes than episodes. (Like the Purgatory scenes, Sam and Riot the dog, Sam and Thor's hammer, Crowley, Dean and Sam in 8x07 and 8x08 cause they weren't fighting, and Cas scenes).
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Dean offering the front seat either, but everything else was pretty great to me. I'm not big on comedy episodes (besides the trickster/Gabriel ones) and was not sold on the cartoon episode idea, but was very pleasantly surprised and happy with this episode.
I love how Castiel's character is being handled this season. Now if only Dean and Sam can get past their issues, everything will be perfect character wise and then hopefully we can really start dealing with the myth-arc of the closing gates of Hell, and also Cas's Naomi problem.
Favorite Scenes: Too many to count. I laughed a lot with the "bad everything" scene, Dean getting the pan to his face, hitting himself in the face to see stars and birdies ha. XD Also Castiel and the cat Bob (named after Robert Singer, the producer, who voiced the cat- I read this on wiki). The old lady thinking Cas was her husband. lol I pretty much loved every funny moment.
I also really liked some serious scenes like Sam talking to Fred in his mind and Cas and Dean talking in the motel.
I really liked the ending, with Cas staying behind with Fred, sitting next to him and listening to the music he was thinking about. I can't help but get a big smile on my face whenever I watch that scene.
My favourite quotes always seem to be designated as the worst of the episode, or left out entirely. This time, they're just not on the list.
ReplyDeleteDean: Okay well, I need my four hours, so...
Cas: I'll watch over you.
Dean: That's not gonna happen.
Because it was really, really cute and funny.
And
Cas: I understand.The bird represents God, and the coyote is man, endlessly chasing the divine yet never able to catch him. It's hilarious.
Because not only is Cas' skewed interpretation of human culture amusing, in light of his search for God in season five, the fact that he now sees the humour in the futility of it is a little bit sad.
Honestly, I do not understand the ire that I've seen from some fans over Dean offering Cas shotgun. I really think far too much significance is being read into it.
this was one of those funny, wholesome, and still story moving episodes that I think will stand out once the season is over.
ReplyDeleteWhat made my happiest about it was the fact that it featured Sam, Dean, and Castiel all equally and I didn't find myself wanting more from any character. It was well balanced.
I really enjoyed this episode (I love cartoons). My favorite quote by far was from Cas: "so we're looking for some insect-rabbit hybrid. How do we kill it?"
ReplyDeleteAnd Sam fighting Cas over shotgun
I see you felt pressure to put the cat quote in and I approve, I mean it was Bob Singer's voice,
ReplyDeletehey dahne i see you posted this so you most be working here can you also post difrent polls you want posted on this site when you want?
ReplyDeleteWhen I do that it sends me e-mail from every thread I comment on. I used to be able to just get comments from certain threads, but I don't see that option anymore. Thanks though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I understand the question. I do not work for SpoilerTV but Andy has granted me posting rights so I can do things like run polls over the hiatus. Is there specific polls you want to see? If they are more general about TV than a particular poll, they are having the user submitted polls. You could submit your poll there. If it is Supernatural based, I ask for suggestions for polls all the time so please post your ideas so I can add them to our list. If there are other specific shows you want polls for, you could ask posters from that show or e-mail Andy about getting posting rights yourself. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this season will be defined more by the moments and scenes than episodes as a whole for me. I also liked Sam talking to Fred in the cartoon world. I wish Fred had a bigger part since he seemed rushed into 5 minutes.
ReplyDeletei mean do you need to do something to get posting rights? cany ou just get posting rights?
ReplyDeleteI actually had the first quote in the post but took it out because I interpret it as an anti-Destiel anvil and I didn't want to go there in this thread. I thought the brothers reaction to Cas' other quote was priceless. I tried to get a screencap of it for this but I couldn't find one that was clear.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found it memorable. The best thing about the fandom is even if there are episodes I don't like there is always someone who thinks it is one of the better ones.
ReplyDeleteI thought that one was funny too. I actually quoted it during my Twitter live tweet session. However the first time I watched this episode, I was live streaming and that is always hit or miss, so I thought Cas said insect-rodent hybrid and I was completely baffled. The second time I watched was when it airs in St. Louis and it made a whole lot more sense.
ReplyDeleteYou know me well. I debated a lot but then figured there would be too many comments about it being missing if I left it out.
ReplyDeleteAndy has to give you permission. You will have to e-mail him.
ReplyDeletei dont expect to be paid at all i will do this for the fun, but i dont have to pay him any money do i?
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you left it out from that perspective. No one that I'm aware of in Destiel fandom actually took it that way, though.
ReplyDeleteNo. Posting is strictly volunteer. No money goes either way.
ReplyDeleteok thanks:)))
ReplyDeletebut did you just ask him nicely and he said yes?
ReplyDeleteI became a poster when Andy called for people to write articles. I started in recaps and moved to polls. Andy is very nice, so just ask him dude.
ReplyDeleteyeah i sent him an e-mail about 40 minutes ago we have actually been talking to each other on e-mails since 2010:))))) so thanks
ReplyDeletehe said he couldnt give me that now, but if i think about a poll for supernatural, can i send you one and ask you to post it on the site?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you found some humour in that moment, for to me it only confirms the new hierarchy on this show.
ReplyDeleteEven just to suggest that Castiel take Sam's place, where he has been for seven years through good and bad, next to his brother is, well "upsetting", for want of a more forceful word.
I never thought the writers would go that far, but they have! The fact that Sam had to physically force his way past Castiel,to reclaim his rightful place doesn't amuse me in any way, even if done with smiles all round.
I understand that it's always better to look for the silver lining but when the sky becomes filled with black thunder clouds, it's difficult to spot a white fluffy one.
When I watched the show, that was my first pick, so would have been there anyway. ;) After re-watching did not end up my first pick.
ReplyDeleteFirst pick is Sam's talk to Fred about living in a dream world and that is what I think is happening with Amelia...at least I hope that is it. lol
ReplyDeleteSince my first watching had me laughing at Cat and his "dumbass" I had to pick that, but there were many very good lines in this ep.
Dean: "Talk to me." Cas: "Dean I…when I was bad, I had all those
things, the Leviathans writhing inside of me….I caused a lot of
suffering on earth but I devastated heaven. I vaporized thousands of my
own kind and I just…I can't go back." Dean: "Cuz if you do the angels
will kill you?" Cas: "Because if I see what heaven's become…what
I…what I made of it, I'm afraid I might kill myself."
Dean: "Alright let's gear up. It's wabbit season." Cas: "I don't think you pronounced that correctly."
Cas: "Yeah I could be your third wheel." Dean: "You know that's
not a good thing right?" Cas: "Of course it is. A third wheel adds
extra grip, greater stability."
You have to NOW go all the way to the bottom of the page to get comments mailed to you..I HATE IT, so it is really bad since I don't even hate Ghostfacers, just hope they never show up again. lol
ReplyDeleteNo to get comments sent to you go to the bottom of the page and click on Subscribe via email
ReplyDeleteDahne Disqus moved the option to the bottom of the page.

Not one of their better ideas. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! That is actually easier now that i know where to look.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Ghostfacers. I'm okay with the change now that I know I still have the option. It is a little irritating that they keep changing the user interface though.
ReplyDeleteI just don't see the point of moving it, was so easy before, type your comment and the option to get all comments sent to you was RIGHT THERE. lol
ReplyDeleteThere were so many, but some of the good ones were left out.
ReplyDelete3. Sam: "Look it can be nice living in a dream world. It can be great. I know that and you can hide and you can pretend all the cr** out there doesn't exist but you can't do it forever because eventually whatever it is you are running from, it will find you. It will come along and it will punch you in the gut and then….then you've got to wake up because if you don't, then trying to keep that dream alive will destroy you. It will destroy everything."
I liked this one and added it, although I imagine many thought of it as anti-destiel. I just thought of it as Dean not wanting to be looked at while he slept. lol
Dean: Okay well, I need my four hours, so...
Cas: I'll watch over you.
Dean: That's not gonna happen.
Like I mentioned above, all the destiel shippers just found it cute and amusing that Cas wanted to watch over Dean. And found it totally unsurprising that Dean thought it was creepy. Because, honestly, it is creepy. :)
