'Supernatural' Recap: Trapped in TV Land
Sunday, 08 November 2009 12:58
THEN: The Trickster played some tricks on Sam and Dean, making the Winchesters want to kill him.
NOW: "Supernatural is filmed before a live studio audience." Yes, we're starting off the show with our first TV parody, and the Winchesters are stuck in their own sitcom Hell.
Dean puts his lunch-making equipment away, turns around, and the live studio audience erupts in canned applause. He's made himself a giant sandwich that would make Dagwood blush and says "I'm gonna need a bigger mouth." The audience laughs hysterically as if that were the funniest thing since sliced bread.
Sam walks in to another burst of applause and, after repeating the "bigger mouth" line (which gets even more laughter) he asks if Dean did his research. When did Sam become Dean's TV sitcom dad? Dean says he has, and just then a sexy women walks out of the bathroom in her underwear. Since this is a sitcom, this is when the audience does various catcalls, wolf whistles and "Oohs." She asks Dean to come back for more "research." I've never heard that used as a euphemism for sex before, but OK.
Dean looks straight at the camera and utters his classic sitcom catch phrase: "Son of a bitch!" Except he says it like he's Alice the maid from The Brady Bunch, making it a million times funnier.
Next we get our opening titles, only they're in the style of a traditional sitcom, complete with cheesy title song. It's so funny, I think I just need to reprint the song lyrics:
Town to town, two-lane roads
The family biz, two hunting bros
Living the lie just to get by
As long as we're moving forward
There's nothing we can't do
Together we'll face the day
You and I won't run away
When the demons come out to play
Together we'll face the day
While the sight of Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles on tiny motor-bikes is hilarious, my favorite has to be when Sam opens a closet and sees a ghost, which is just a little kid in a white sheet. I could watch that opening title sequence all day long.
Two days earlier we see a doctor and intern get into an elevator and start making out. No, you didn't accidentally change the channel to ABC, it's actually on a TV in a motel. Dean's watching his new favorite TV show, Dr. Sexy M.D. That's officially the worst name for a TV show ever.
After Sam correctly mocks Dean for watching this crap, they stop by the police station to investigate an alleged bear attack. They find out the dead man's wife thought she saw something other than a bear, and after some prodding, the Winchesters find out what she thought she saw: the Incredible Hulk. After Abraham Lincoln, Paris Hilton and the Tooth Fairy, this doesn't seem quite as shocking as it might've a few seasons ago. Dean wants to know if it's the Eric Bana or Edward Norton version, and the woman claims they both suck, and that this was TV's Hulk, Lou Ferrigno. Sadly, Ferrigno himself doesn't have a cameo.

'Supernatural' Recap: He Can't Read Sam's Poker Face
Monday, 02 November 2009 13:25
THEN: A possessed Bobby stabbed himself and ended up in a wheelchair while Sam, Dean and Castiel were out looking for God and the Colt. That makes me wonder: if the Colt can kill Lucifer, could it, theoretically, also kill God?
NOW: Supernatural continues to bring the funny with Dean turning into a grumpy old man. I'm expecting a ton of old people jokes. So take your heart pills, mash up your peas dust off your Bingo cards, because it's about to get crazy. Or not. In fact, I'll argue this is the worst episode so far of the season.
Supernatural starts with a young man getting home, running to the bathroom and then rapidly aging until he becomes a corpse. Sam and Dean come to investigate how a young man died looking like a senior citizen, and on Bobby's suggestion, they find their second possible victim, only this is an old man who's gone missing.
This first part was incredibly rushed, as if the show was just trying to hurry up and get to old Dean. The Winchesters find the missing old man in an Asian whore house (the second whore house of the season), only he's a young, buff guy now. Sam and Dean interrupt a three-way, but as the Young Old Man says, he only paid for one. I think we found Dean's new hero.
They learn about a traveling poker game in which you play for years of your life instead of money, so after checking in with Bobby, Dean goes to local bars in hopes of finding the game. He does, but Bobby beat him to the punch. Wheelchair Bobby was eager to change his situation because, in case you hadn't guessed, he hates being in the wheelchair.
Despite the poor quality of the episode, Jim Beaver actually delivers an amazing performance, which is good because that's the only thing saving this from being among the worst Supernatural episodes ever, on par with "Bugs."

Who Should Play God on 'Supernatural Season 5?
Saturday, 05 September 2009 15:33
It's no secret that in season 5, the apocalypse is coming to Supernatural, Lucifer is walking on Earth, and as creator Eric Kripke confirmed at Comic-Con, God will be a character on the show.But who (or what) should play God? We want your ideas as to who should play the almighty leader of Heaven onSupernatural this season, so please submit any and all ideas or hopes you have in the comments below.
The great thing is that Kripke and his Supernatural team have been tight-lipped about any God details. Is God a man or a woman? Young or old? White or black or Hispanic or Chinese? Will God be a new character like Mark Pelligrino playing Lucifer, or will God simply use an existing character as a vessel (Uncle Bobby, perhaps)? Maybe God could be a cat or an inanimate object (the Godpala, anyone?). We want to know what you want to see.
God has been portrayed almost every conceivable way in film and television, from George Burns and Morgan Freeman to Alanis Morissette and even a dog on Saving Grace.
