Recap: “Wishful Thinking”
The girl answers the door and I immediately wonder how a girl her age didn’t get the numerous school safety presentations about answering the door when strangers are present. What’s worse is her parents aren’t home. Oh, so its a dysfunctional family. Go figure. Sam and Dean aren’t sure what to say, so Dean gently asks if she’s seen something tall and furry. “œIs he in trouble?” She asks worried. Uh, yep, they’re onto something. She mentions her teddy bear is sick, so they pull out the Health Inspector badges and pretend to be”Teddy Bear Doctors”. She takes them upstairs and I’m waiting for the part where an adult shows up and they get accused (again) of being pedophiles.
What happens is even better. Little girl opens the door and a giant life sized teddy bear shouts,”Close the freaking door!” Sam and Dean’s eyes bug out of their heads as the girl says”see what I mean” and the door goes shut. I don’t think they were prepared for that! There are no words available to describe absolutely how funny that is, or what’s coming next. That’s why there are pictures.
Dean joins Sam in the hall, and both baffled brothers step aside to figure out what’s next. Sam can’t get it out, but the gist is, should they kill the bear? Dean isn’t sure how. “œDo we shoot it, burn it?” “œBoth?” Sam replies. Dean doesn’t like it. “œI don’t want some giant, flaming pissed off teddy on our hands.” Sam then rationally figures out”Besides the bear isn’t really the core problem here.” I’m still dying over the fact that this conversation is actually taking place. Who knew hunting a teddy bear would be so complicated?

Hey Alice,
Thank you! I always am on your page, even if I am not commenting always:-) But I had a bad month, very tiring so I have problems with my time:-) Your reviews were the first I read, and because of them I gave a chance to the show and I never regretted! Once a Supernatural fan, you stay forever and my love for this show is huge! About my reviews, well is going pretty well:-) I always make time for my Supernatural day, which is friday.:-) I get the episode at 6 o’clock in the morning, see it and then write about it because the romanian fans on the blog are pretty eager and they start commenting right away:-)
I loved this episode, was bizzare but all Edlund episodes are specials:-) This two episodes, 9 and 10 will be epic indeed and I can’t wait to write about them:-) Enjoy your convention time and I’ll be right here waiting for your reports:-) Hope it’s ok to post on our blog some informations from your reports (with credit of course) because that’s the only way we can found out what’s going on at the convention:-) I’ll write for the romanian fans an article with infos from the con and just hope that one day I can attend one(the visa that’s a big problem and to be frankly, that’s for the first time in my life I really, really want to live in America – for those wonderful possibilitys you have – I mean I love my country but I don’t think I could ever have the chance to see Jared and Jensen here:-)I don’t think they even know were it is on the map…)
Thank and have a Supernatural weekend, in a good way:-)
Vichi – sorry, I’m really behind on replies. The con so far has been such a blast. Anyway, yes, feel free to mention whatever I report on your site. I’d be honored!
Fab. Just what I needed after a workplace near death experience with a giant inflatable Santa and a load of fridge magnets. It even had Xena’s rubbish sidekick, bliss!
Being a Brit and therefore a natural gloomyguts I thought the Life-is-shit-and-then-you-die exchange in the Impala was both sensible and healthy but that might just be something they put in the water in East Anglia.
The manic depressive bear was a stroke of genius but I’m always going to regret that I’m never, ever going to get a chance to bound out of a restaurant shouting
” Women! showers! we have to save these people! ”
Brilliant.
