Elle2’s Season 5 Wrap Up
Summer hellatus is so bittersweet. We stare down the prospects of spending the next four months of our lives clinging to repeats and over-speculating like mad over a faint clue about season six that someone leaked on Twitter. Yet, this is also one of my favorite times of year, because I get to do the season…
Elle does apologize for the lateness, but still she has some great things to say about last week’s episode, “The Real Ghostbusters.” Also, I finally got my review to Blogcritics too. This one is completely different. It really ends up be a little analysis about the episode in relation to my visit to the Chicago…
(This is the review I posted on blogcritics yesterday. This should not be confused with the full recap, which will be posted tomorrow or Wednesday. Enjoy!) Geez! Will poor Sam Winchester EVER catch a break? You know you’re completely doomed while starting your new life when your dead girlfriend keeps showing up in the middle of the night, tells…
I’m learning something fun. If an idea worked brilliantly last year, it’s worth repeating! Last year, as part of my look back at Supernatural in 2009, I recalled several of those little moments that made me smile. You know, good episode or not, there was at least one tiny moment in each episode that reminded me…
Swap Meat was one of those rare Supernatural episodes that left you feeling a little “meh” by the end. Not horrifically bad, nowhere near top quality. When the DVDs of season five hit, Swap Meat will be one of the episodes I choose when I only want ear-TV as a soundtrack to something else that…
Editor’s Note: In case you hadn’t yet heard this important piece of American trivia, today is National Tell A Joke day in the U.S.A! Since it’s also a Thursday, which signifies Throw-Back-Thursday in social media, it seemed appropriate to pull out Karen’s magnificent ode to Supernatural‘s favorite jokester, the Trickster! When this article was…
First, I want to let you know if there is a page 2 it comes up blank on my computer.
Secondly, I missed the reports what was revealed at Rising Con that explained what went wrong with Swap Meat.
Elle2 that was a nice read and I do agree 100% with each one of your choices.
Let me just add one more moment:
“The most revolting scene”
When pestilence sneezed on the guy in the store”
LindaH here is the link of the vid for the reveal at the Rising Con http://www.youtube.com/user/SamysWitch#p/u/6/yb2iDt7s7SE
Yirabah, thanks for that link.
Hi Elle2
I loved your picks, I had some to add.
Best returning Character:
I loved seeing Ash again but I also loved Crowley.
Best Castiel Lines:
I also liked in The End when Castiel zaps Dean to him, saving Dean from Zacks wrath ‘We had an appointmentâ€.
Episode that provoked tears so much:
For me it was Abandon all hope and I still haven’t been able to re-watch since it originally aired.
Thanks Elle2 this was fun.
Hi, Linda, Yirabah and Karen,
Linda, first off, I’m so glad Yirabah was quicker to the site than me and provided the link (also, I wouldn’t have been too good at providing the link so double kudos to you Yirabah 🙂
Oh, Yirabah, you are so right about the whole Pestilence scene…yeesh, I couldn’t watch it it was so gross!!! So I hid behind my fingers and peeked…it was still so gross!
Karen, you’re right with your additions…there is something so…Cas about how he saved Dean in The End.
And as for tears…yeah, Swan Song killed me the first go round so I avoided it but with the blessings of a sixth season soon to come and the fun of the speculation of what will be it doesn’t ‘kill’ me like it first did. Abandon All Hope with Ellen and Jo still kills me, I’m better when I watch it in that I’m not wrecked after like I first was but still…and then Ash’s awesome follow up on their death in DSOTM…good stuff.
Glad you had fun and enjoyed the light article.
🙂
YEH!! ASH!!! Caplocks cannot fully express my fangirly joy! 😀 😀 😀
Spit coffee on the keyboard moments … ” They ate my tailor/ Shall I honk?” Plus anything to do with Cas and his mobile 😆
Pestilence = Total yukfest!
You’re all going to hate me for this but I thoroughly enjoyed Abandon All Hope as I’ve been fantasising about a messy death for Jo ever since she first appeared. 😈
Right, off to poison some orphans …
Suze,
you are too funny…what is your poison of choice???
Like Ruby (the 4th season Ruby that is) I was so glad to see her skewered by Dean with Sam giving the able and necessary assist by basically throwing her into the knife…beautiful. DIE DEMON DIE in caplocks barely expressed my joy. Have your enjoyment of Jo’s messy death…Alona served it up beautifully (and believably)
There were so many spit coffee on keyboard moments anything with drunken Cas and cellphone Cas fit those as well as many a Zach comment and Crowley has swiftly moved up the chain with his quick tongue (the one that talks, not the CRD sealing a deal tongue…minds out of the gutters everyone, especially you, Suze, as there have been no zombie ‘gator sightings of late.
Thanks for the comment..glad you had fun with the article.
No. 1 son’s Anchovie Surprise Cookies are fairly lethal, they nearly finished off his Grandma, at any rate …
As for Alona, nothing in life became her so well as the leaving of it … Way to go, girl!
Crowley is a total joy, for both his snark and his snogging of all and sundry. ‘Gator-wise, I’m still ever hopeful … Who knows what delights S6 may bring our way! 😉
The Dabb/Loflin penned episodes used to make me cringe. I couldn’t stand to watch them. But after Dark Side Of The Moon they truly are my heros. That episode was an amazing masterpiece, worthy of whatever awards we can give them for it.
Not only did it have it’s comic spurts and great one-liners – Hey Dean, I Wuv Hugs too 😉 – but it portrayed Heaven as I thought a television series should. It was moving and heartbreaking when it should have been (Dean and Young Sam with the fireworks at the beginning – I could do a whole schpeal on Colin Ford and how anazing that kid is) brings me to tears just thinking about it.
This is the episode that brought us Ash back. If nothing else, this would have done it for me. I have such a crush on that mullet genius I don’t even know where to begin.
And we get to see Zachariah for the worthless, craptastic angel of horror he is.
If the whole next season could be alternately written by Dabb/Loflin and Ben Edlund I’d be pleased.
