Brief instant reaction of sorts to 4.04

See this?



This was used in 4.04 as a transition shot. Not only are the SPOTLIGHTS front, center and undeniable when elsewhere in the episode they are not, the lisence plate is good old KAZ 2Y5.

That's because this transition shot was originally used in episode 2.03 Bloodlust in the "Back in Black" Impala Rebirth Glory montage. That's where the screen cap is from, thanks to Supernatural.tv

I'm all for the re-use of transition shots. They did it all through Season 3, and I'm sure it's a great way to save on the budget. Until now, they've been re-using the more distant shots, so the poor, lost-to-us true Metallicar license plate and the non-horrifically amputated SPOTLIGHTS are not as easy to see.

This time? Oh, it's deliberate. The spotlights and lisence plate were front and center. This is Kripke taunting us. Bastard! Just because I sent you a copy of that poster this summer is no reason to get snide, mister. :-P

This shot was wrong on so many levels. When I first saw it, I knew it was recycled and it pissed me off, but when I got online this morning and realized that not only was it a season 2 shot with those beautiful spotlights, but that they didn't even bother to change the Kansas plate... It's unacceptable!

I know! That was just cruel!
