Round two has left us with 4 remaining episodes - Sacrifice, which got a whopping 90% of its vote, Goodbye Stranger (84%), LARP and the Real Girl (75%), and A Little Slice of Kevin (67%). Exiting the contest are Everybody Hates Hitler, Trial and Error, Taxi Driver, and Pac-Man Fever, which had the most votes of the episodes leaving. Once this contest is over and we crown Sacrifice (probably) the winner, we will continue our writer polls. We have already done the most prolific writers: Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund, Eric Kripke, and Dabb & Loflin. Therefore we will probably start with the least prolific writers and work our way up. If we still need time before the big quotes contest can start, I will be doing some specialty quotes articles. Just a reminder that all contests will cease during the Best Show contest, although I am not sure when it will take place this summer. After we finish our quotes contest, we will be looking at doing a complete ranking of all 173 episodes. As I unveil my ranking, I would love if you would have your rankings done too. It's not as easy as it sounds, especially with the middle episodes and yes, mine changes with my mood as well so don't worry about it if yours does too. I expect there will be a lot of discussion in this article set since no one's list will be the same. Not even close.

Slim pickings for me today as I can only tolerate 1 of these 4 episodes. Therefore:
ReplyDelete1. Neither - Goodbye Stranger had the absolutely horrible Swan Song rip-off and killed Meg off for no reason. Sacrifice is should have been called Futility in that no one made a sacrifice and the episode made the whole season null and void.
2. LARP and the Real Girl - If for no other reason than it is the first time in the entire season where the brothers have fun together, it would get my vote. It also had Charlie, the most awesome one-shot sheriff to date, some nifty lines, and even cos play I didn't eye roll. True it is no Pac-Man Fever, but it beats never ending torture porn any day.
Unforgiven quotes: Unforgiven is to me the first of a two-part filler. First we get Sam filler. Then we get Dean filler. Neither episode was very good and I loathe spiders. Still it was fun to see RoboSam again even if only in flashbacks.
ReplyDelete12. Roy: "Let me get this straight. You're not Feds. You actually hunt things." Grandpa Creepy: "We know how it sounds." Roy: "I'm not sure you do."
11. Dean: "Whoa, wait. We're just going to drop everything?" Sam; "Dude, two minutes ago you weren't doing anything." Dean: "You got mysterious coordinates from a mysterious Mr. "X" leading to a mysterious town? That doesn't throw up red flags to you?"
10. Sam: "Look would you believe that I don't remember anything?" Sheriff: "No, but good luck selling it to the judge."
9. Dean; "And how would you…characterize their relationship?" Roommate: "Relationship? No, they weren't having a…" Dean: "Just the…the…the tone or the nature of their conversation." Roommate: "Well, loud…and athletic."
8. Dean: "What are you watching?" Sam: "Just trying to catch up. So…Mel Gibson really took a turn this past year, huh?" Dean; "Or he's possessed. Seriously, think about it."
7. Dean: "Are you serious? Sam, there is a reason that hunters don't hit the same town over again. 'Cause we have a habit of leaving messes behind."
6. Sam: "Look, I'm starting to think that…that I might have done some bad stuff here, Dean, and so I don't care if it's dangerous. I have to set things right 'cause I've got a frigging soul now, and…and it won't let me just walk away. I'm staying here and I need you to back me up."
5. Dean: "Sam, you….you…you've got to understand that all that cr** last year, all of it…none of it was you."
4. Dean: "Well we know that this is a monster with opposable thumbs and unlimited text messaging, and we know that it wants to kill you specifically. Does the about cover it?"
3. Debbie: "What? The boxed stuff doesn't get better with age, Don."
2. Dean: "So I found something on…uh, Crazy Eyes McGee. Turns out you two knew each other." Sam: "What?" Dean: "Biblically. I just spoke to her roommate. I've got to say man, you really got around. I mean soulless or not, I'm actually kind of impressed."
1. Brenna: "What is this, Days of Our Lives? You're telling me you have some sort of amnesia?"
Mannequin 3: The Reckoning: Blech. Even the title was terrible. The best part of this episode for me was seeing Ben and Lisa again. I love when Ben calls Dean on the carpet for walking out on them, mostly because I really felt bad for Ben in this situation. It's the middle school teacher in me. There's also some good snark. However, I can live with never having a mannequin episode again.
ReplyDelete15. Ben: "Whatever I did, I'm sorry." Dean: "Listen to me, you didn't do anything. You understand that? Look one day you'll…uh, you'll get this when you're older." Ben: "Don't talk to me like I'm 6." Dean: "Okay fine. It's like this then. Just 'cause you love someone doesn't mean you should stick around and screw up their life, so I can't be here."
14. Sam: "Well you know number 1, bad luck is kind of in the job description, and 2, it's not all bad. Really. Look at me. I mean at least Satan's left the building." Dean: "Yeah, it's the little things."
13. Dean: "So we dig…over there. I don't like the way Kim Cattrall's looking at me."
12. Ben: "You think something will follow you home?" Dean: "No, no I don't, but I think my job turns me into somebody that can't sit at your dinner table, and if I stayed, you'd end up just like me." Ben: "Why do you say it like you're so…bad?"
11. Sam: "And I have a soul because of you. I never thanked you for that, did I?' Dean: "That's all good, man." Sam: "Well thanks." Dean: "You'd have done the same for me."
10. Dean: "Well that’s ridiculous. Plants could never kill a zombie."
9. Dean: "We saved a few d** and…and…and we killed an innocent girl. I've got a heartbroken kid and a woman who's so p** at me…I see what you mean about facing your past. It's...uh, it's awesome. Thanks."
8. Dean: "Hey, so what'd you find out from the…uh, mop jockey's girlfriend?" Sam: "Nothing. Just how great he was…went to church, donated to charity, rubbed her feet during Glee." Dean: "I just threw up in my mouth."
7. Ben: "You say family's so important, but…but what do you call people who…who care for you, who love you even when you're a d**? You know you're walking out on your family, right?"
6. Sam: "I mean it. Look we keep our heads down, keep swinging. We'll lose some. Hopefully we'll win more, and…I don't know. Anyway, for what it's worth, I've got your back."
5. Sam: "What's a Snooki?" Dean: "That is a good question."
4. Dean: "Hey! You leave my baby alone. She's got nothing to do with this."
3. Ben: "It was an emergency." Dean: "A date's not an emergency, Ben." Ben: "It is if it's the third one. I watch TV. I know what that means."
2. Lisa: "What's going on?" Dean: "We've been Parent Trapped."
1. Dean: "How do you feel?" Sam: "Like I got hit by a…planet."
