Doubletakes and Doppelgangers: The Answers
1. Probably wasn’t cool of me to start off with a trick question, but as far as I (and IMDb) know, this was Shawn Roberts’ only appearance on Supernatural.
2. Taylor, “Hookman”
There’s nothing she wouldn’t do.
3. Chuck Lambert, “Phantom Traveler”
Afraid to fly? This won’t help.
4. Dying nurse, “In My Time Of Dying”
Can see right through Dean.
5. The pizza kid doesn’t have a doppelganger either – just messing with you again.
6. Ben the banker, “Long Distance Call”
A casualty of the crocatta feeding on the souls of Milan, Ohio. I’m seriously starting to consider moving out of state.
7. Bully, “Wishful Thinking”
The tables have turned in Concrete, Washington, and this kid will soon be forced to Kneel Before Todd!
8. Librarian, “Provenance”
Always willing to help out a couple of crime buffs.
9. Karen Giles, “The Usual Suspects”
In this Supernatural whodunit, the ghost is the red herring and provides key clues. Sam and Dean don’t figure it out in time to save Karen–the look on Dean’s face tells you how that weighs on him– but they do catch her killer and save Det. Ballard’s life.
Thanks for playing!
This was great fun, ElenaM, thank you! As it is Friday, the day I often already start with being kind exhausted from work and getting through the days is not always the easiest thing (I bet you know what I’m speaking about, as does almost every working person), this was a great breather to fill my batteries during a short coffee break.
Actually, the only ones I found the ‘Doubletake’ of was Dr. Corman/Librarian and Sera Siege/Karen Giles, as those were pretty obvious. Not really the SPN geek as I thought.
There is one you missed, however ;-), and that’s the victim in the vampire episode of Season 1 (for the life of me I can’t think of the title, don’t sue me), the girl the vamps feed on while having well, almost sex, and the doctor slapping Sam in Changing Channels are the same actress, also…
ElenaM, thanks a lot for this wonderful fun piece. :-), Jas
Hi, ElenaM,
Wow, you’re really good! (and mean starting off with a trick question.)
I only got Sera Siege and Karen Giles.
Jas, the ep you’re looking for is Dead Man’s Blood, no suing necessary. 🙂
That’s really cool, Karen Singer and the ‘dying nurse’ from IMTOD are the same actress…what a haircut will do.
Thanks ElenaM, and hang in there, I found SPN near the end of Season 3 and spent part of the summer into Season 4 getting all caught up so I was sorta okay (not really as Dean was in hell and Sam was grief-stricken and immune to Lilith so even catching the first eight episdoes of Season 3 only helped a little with withdrawal) but we’re a month into it and it’s amazing how quickly the weeks do fly by, especially with fun like this!
This was fun!
My guesses before reading further:
1. ?
2. Lori’s roomate in “Hookman”
3. Chuck the pilot in “Phantom Traveller”
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. One of the kids chasing Tod in “Wishful Thinking” ?
8. Library guy showing the newspaper with the Titanic Sinks headline to the boys in “Provenance”
9 Murdered lawyer’s wife in “The Usual Suspects”
You missed the guy who played Elkins in “Dead Man’s Blood” who played a coroner in a later season.(Can’t remember which episode)
This is awesome!!
I got one.
~~~ Nurse Foreman from “Sam, Interrupted” ~~~
Can anyone guess? 😉
Gentlesoul, she was the first female scarecrow victim in Scarecrow!
Also, Elena, that was fun! I didn’t realize there were so many repeat characters on the show!
Yes? I tought the nurse/wraith in Sam Interrupted was Laurie, the preacher’s daughter in Hook man.
Hi ElenaM
Well I’m really bad at this, I only knew the last one Sera/Karen.
As for the Pizza boy…I could of sworn I had see him before, he looked so familiar. But when I looked him up on IMBD. He had been in nothing I ever watched … so yeah I’m really bad at this.
This was fun. Thanks ElenaM.
Thanks so much everyone–was hoping this would be good for some mindless Hellatus fun 😆
Jas, Bevie & gentlesoul–Nice calls!!! I hadn’t noticed any of those–I’ll see if I can add them, with credit to the spotters, or maybe do an encore post, since I came up with a couple more in addition…
Ardeospina, yeah, it’s surprising how many repeat offenders we’ve had!
Elle2–yeah, that was kind of evil of me, wasn’t it? I didn’t have that many so I figured a couple of trick questions would keep it challenging…
I’m actually not very good at this at all–really! The only ones I spotted myself were Taylor/CRD#1, hotel dude/Ben the banker, and Nurse/Karen (from her name in the credits). The rest I got mostly from reading recaps and reviews, and in a couple of cases from having looked up the actor in IMdB for a totally unrelated reason. And that’s after being on the lookout for repeats to do this game!
So along those lines, Karen, you’re not really bad at this! If I hadn’t put it together I’d probably have only known three of them–
–which is why I’m quite impressed by Bevie here, 5 out of 7 plus one of her own, wow! Trick Qs don’t count since they were just there to drive y’all crazy… I would never have got #7, I just stumbled across it on IMdB when I was working on the geek article…
Thanks again everyone, glad you liked!
This is fun – I didn’t get 3 and 4 but thanks for pointing this out.
I would also mention that the actor who played Daniel Elkins in Dead Man’s Blood played the coroner in Time is on my side – but doh just saw someone mentioned it above.
Also the actress who played Hope in Wishful Thinking played one of the victim’s of the shapeshifter in Skin.
