The Positively Positive

I was looking forward to this episode before it even aired, having heard about it from Jared and Jensen themselves. They announced at the LA Supernatural convention in March that there was an ep coming that was a “salute to the fans” and I was dying to see it. When I did, it fulfilled all my dreams and then some.

It’s frightening how much the show seems to know about us fans, what we say about them, what we write in our fanfiction, etc. The fact that they could make fun of both us and themselves in such a way that all of us could have a laugh and enjoy it, was great.

Highlights…..

When this aired, I had no idea what LARPing was or that people even did that. (Do people really do that??)

The books didn’t sell a lot of copies, they had more of an “underground following” – huh, that does kinda sound familiar….

Loved this line from Dean: “I’m full frontal in here, dude!”   …..Hey wait. No fair! We didn’t get to see….erm…..I mean…..*coughs*

Another great line: “for fans, they sure do complain a lot” – hahahahaha!!! That’s what I always say too.

Another freaking hilarious line – Dean: “Like….together, together???  They do know we’re brothers, right?” …then Sam: “Doesn’t seem to matter.”  LOL!!! I hear ya boys, I heard ya.

“The best part are when they cry”….OMG I have SOOO said those words and I’ve said them about each of those eps. Krikpe….have you been reading my mail? *looks over shoulder nervously*

The girl testing Sam and Dean about their own history was classic.

Why is it that whenever Dean shows his anti-demon tat he always has that really pissed off look on his face?

“A cruel, cruel, capricious God”….yep, that about describes Krikpe, I think.

“Horror is one thing….but to be forced to live through bad writing…” –  As a writer, I really appreciated that line.

Wow, Dean has read Slaughterhouse Five. Jeesh! Even I haven’t gotten around to that one yet.  

Dean sitting in a laundrymat reading about himself sitting in a laundrymat reading about himself….okay I’m dizzy again. That’s two eps in a row where they’ve done that to me.

Okay seriously, I know this is completely off topic but all these iPhone commercials showing all those cool aps really, really makes me want one and I have absolutely no need for an iPhone. Sigh….maybe someday.

Eek! Another new Supernatural commercial! Stop it, you guys are killing me!

Too many great lines, here’s another awesome one from Dean: “Behave yourself, will ya? No homework. Watch some porn.”…Aw, so sweet. Dean’s gonna make the best Daddy someday.

Once again we see Supernatural do what I think it does so well. It takes an episode whose premise is inherently funny and mixes in a touch of drama and angst, carrying on the story arc when we least expect it.

The Winchester Gospel….now there’s a book I’d buy.

Oh man, Sam was so scared that Dean knew about him drinking demon blood. Poor Sam, he has to know that Dean will find out someday. There’s just no way a secret like that can stay hidden forever.

Wow, watching Dean actually pray…..that was heavy.

You can see how much Cas really wants to help and just can’t. His solution was pretty ingenious though, telling Dean to bring the Prophet to where Lilith was so an archangel could get her. Good job, Cas!

As a writer I feel for the Prophet. Not so sure I’d want some of my stories and characters to come to life.

Hmmm….Dean vs an archangel in a quick draw…you know, I’d like to see that exercise too. That’d be one heck of a fight.

Ooohh…”Self sacrifice is the Winchester way” – boy does Lilith know this family or what?

Nice of them to put in a line about the dental hygienist inside Lilith’s meat suit wanting Sam too. Otherwise there would’ve been tons of fangirls talking “rape” again.

“What am I supposed to do?” ….. “What you always do, write.” – man, that could be the quote of my life.

Overall an episode that was both hysterically funny and very dramatic, mixing them together very well.

Disagree? Have something to add? Want to suggest something for me to review? Post a comment. I’d love to hear from you!
