The Positively Positive

Alright folks, confession time – I will admit that I have been to a Supernatural convention. Okay so it’s been three so far, one was in England and I already have tickets to my fourth, but hey, who’s counting right? So I have been eagerly awaiting this episode ever since I saw the clips last week and I am glad to report that it did not disappoint.

Highlights…………

A parking lot full of Impalas! LOL. Ha! I WISH all us fans had one of our own.

It’s scary to say that I’ve met a couple girls like Becky.

Love all the costumes, though I’ve never seen that many good ones. Maybe I should start working on a scarecrow outfit for next year.

Laughing my ass of as I saw the Impala coffee cup that I was eyeing at the last con. Oh man, now I really want it again.

I love that most of the people at this con are men. Guess that’s why they call it fiction.

The look on Sam and Dean’s faces at the words “homo-erotic subtext”.

The Hook Man totally looks like the real dude.

Wondering just how one goes about making a deal with an archangel for book rights.

Is it wrong that I kinda wanna do a “hunt” at the next con? Anyone with me?

All the Sam and Deans in suits and showing fake FBI badges. Can I just say how much I love that this show can make fun of itself so well?

Fake EMF ftw!

Oooh….creepy kid ghost…and the best line ever: “Holy Mother of Crap!”

Is it me or did Dean use Joey from Friends’ line on the fake ghost chick? Doesn’t “How you doin’?” belong to him?

A real ghost showing up at the convention. That rocks! I would seriously pay extra for that.

Okay Becky licking her hand and blowing it at Sam? Seriously disgusting.

The fake Sam and Dean and their fake deep voices.

Dean yelling at the guys saying that his life is not for their amusement. Okay, now I’m feeling a little guilty.

Fake Sam and Dean freaking out at the sight of a real grave…and a real ghost who actually tried to kill them.

The creepy ghost children killing the Hook Man, who kept making fun of Supernatural. Talk about poetic justice.

Dean telling Sam to give the fake ghost girl “the puppy dog thing”. Referencing Sam’s puppy dog eyes that the fans talk about so much. Nice!

Aw….fake Sam and Dean want to help “because that’s what Sam and Dean would do.”

Don’t you just hate it when your cell phone goes off when you’re trying to discipline little creepy ghost children while pretending to be their teacher from the last century? I know I do.

Fake Sam and Dean realizing how hard it actually is to dig a grave. I totally put that line into a fanfic I wrote once.

Chuck riffing while Sam and Dean are fighting the ghost. Hilarious!

Chuck saving the day. Go Chuck! Loved the “Six Million Dollar Man” sound effects too.

Is it wrong that I think Chuck is cute now? Dangit, I’m such a sucker for the hero, especially a nerdy one.

Dean seriously thinking about them putting their weapons on bungies. Huh, not a bad idea.

Dean thanking fake Sam and Dean for saving their lives, then admitting he’s the “real Dean” and neither of them believing him. Too funny.

Fake Sam and Dean pointing out that saving the world and having a brother who would die for you was not so sucky after all.

Fake Sam and Dean turning out to be a couple. Freaking awesome! Nice nod to Wincest.

“Like a monkey on the sun it was too hot to live.” – LOL!!!

Sam threatening Chuck with “we have guns and we’ll find you.” – hilarious!

Brilliant. The show figures out how to use the story within the story to a help the current story. Sam gets a lead on the Colt from a missing “scene” in one of the books. So freaking brilliant.

The outtakes of Rob Benedict (as Chuck), riffing to the audience and saying “The way I look at it, it’s really not jumping the shark if you never come back down.” – Now I’m dying to know which of the writers said that, perhaps Kripke himself?

Overall another fun episode where the show got to make fun of itself and the fans once again while still managing to give us little glimpses into the lives of Sam and Dean and also a clue to the Colt’s whereabouts to boot.
