The Positively Positive

Supernatural returned from its two month hiatus (also known as a “hellatus” to most of us fans) and delivered another one of those episodes where the overall premise is comedic, but still has a lot of serious stuff as well.

Sam and Dean get themselves admitted to a mental hospital where people are supposedly being killed by a “monster”. They eventually start going crazy for real and all their (pardon the pun) demons come out to (pardon another pun) haunt them. They eventually get the better of the monster but not before allowing us to get more insight into each of them.

Highlights….

The fact that Sam and Dean only had to tell the truth about their lives to get admitted to a mental hospital.

The doc telling Dean “the relationship you have with your brother seems dangerously co-dependent” – LOL, yeah no kidding. Don’t you watch the show at all, doc?

You know, Dean telling the doc that he only sleeps 3-4 hours every other day or so, has more than 50 drinks a week and has never been in a long term relationship – really does actually make him sound kinda crazy.

Dean describing his time with the doc as being “thraped”, which I assume means…”thought raped”? I looked it up online but the only other definition I found that seemed close was “drive like it was stolen” so I guess he could’ve meant that it felt like the doc drove his brain. Yeah, I don’t know.

Sam chopping off the dead guy’s head and yanking out his brain – yikes. And here I thought he was the squeamish one.

Dean dropping his pants and yelling “Pudding!” – the extra little wiggly dance he added was a nice touch and absolutely hilarious.

Once again, in the midst of the comedy, the show throws in some seriousness as Dean opens up to the doc about how it’s his job to save everyone in the world. It really is a horrible burden to put on anyone.

Wendy throwing herself on Sam saying “I want him now, he’s larger”. And Dean telling him “You’ve had worse.”

Sam telling Dean he felt “Spectaculacular”. I’m so gonna start using that word now.

Sam telling Dean he loves him! Woot! And the fangirls can now dance with joy. Yeah sure it was while under the influence of some major drugs, but hey he said it and that’s all that counts, right?

Finding out that the doc Dean’s been talking to is only in his head. Whoa, that totally messed with my head too.

Sam lashing out at all of the people in his head while Dean sat in the background mumbling to himself. Totally creepy.

Even with all the craziness going on in his head, Dean still figuring out the connection and knowing that he and Sam must have been infected by something. Way to go, Dean!

You know, that wraith has a point – going in there and talking about monsters did pretty much give Sam and Dean away right off the bat. They may want to remember than next time.

Dean saying “Tom Cruise was right, shrinks suck.” – loved it!

Sam admitting that he’s mad at everything and Dean telling him that burying all that crap inside was how they keep going. So true and so very sad.

Overall another fun episode that still managed to mix in a bunch of serious stuff to keep us angst-happy fans satisfied.
