Reaction: Supernatural 5.05
Not gonna be a long reaction tonight. Only one watch-through, bad headache and a lot of prep to do yet for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
win_non_con, which starts tomorrow.
Spoiler and Theorizing Timeline - HUGE
This is the most I have ever been spoiled for an episode I think.
-Aug 5th - Super-wiki Twitter - Someone has been cast and there is a fandom kerfuffle. It also implies that Kripke is on crack. Hm... What's Sarah Michelle Gellar doing these days? Or maybe Bruce Campbell? Seems to me Kripke tried to get him once and failed, but he did land Sam Raimi since then, so it's more possible now. Still wish they'd get unknown Vancouver actors and spend more of the budget on music.
-Aug 11th - Bottom of Jared photos - "Paris Hilton's role on Supernatural." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously? No, seriously??? Good god. They can afford her, but not rock music? It really is the Apocalypse. So... Oh lordy. I bet she's playing Chuck's archangel. Can't she at least be evil? *facepalm* I'm kind of glad I had this spoiler/rumour now, because getting ambushed by that much WTF in the episode would be painful.
-Sep 17th - Post-ep 5.02 Spoiler-related Thought - If Dean and Castiel do find God, and God is played by Paris Hilton, I may never ever stop laughing. Although I must say, so far there's been more music than recent years. If it keeps up, my budget quibbles aren't an issue. :-)
-Sep 28th -spn_crackfic - Some person posted the Paris Hilton casting spoiler in their story notes. Uncut. In bright red text. Honest to flaming Pete. Not like I didn't already know, but whatever. The thing is, and here's what truly bugs me about this actress appearing, regardless of what I think about her acting or the budget, is that the actress has been referred to by the characters as existing in the world of Supernatural. Season 1, "Do I look like Paris Hilton?". Having her appear playing a character and not have the similarity of appearance remarked on in some way breaks... not the fourth wall exactly, but it's an internal inconsistency. Like Hell House. They made a Ghostbusters movie reference ("Who you gonna call?") and yet didn't bat an eye at the Hell House boys having Ghostbuster names. But who knows, maybe they will have some reference. I mean, what'd be really awesome is if she plays herself, only as a 'person in peril', or better yet, possessed or maybe a shifter version of herself or some kind of other evil thing that can change appearances or do mind control. Hee! Paris Hilton playing an evil version of herself would kind of rock. But whatever. Who knows, right?
-Oct 5th - In a random comment on a fic or something, I don't even remember what - Paris Hilton is playing herself (or playing something that deliberately looks like her because of who she is), only evil. Heh. Well. Doesn't that just shut me up. XD Awesome! So, demonic possession seems popular, it's probably some variation on that, but really, shapeshifters, ghouls, it's all good. Plus, by my calculations we are due for a cracky breather episode, so even better. I should have known better than to doubt. *writes 'I will trust Kripke' on the chalkboard a hundred times*
-Oct 5th evening - Brief theory - Hey! Maybe Meg's the one who's got her! XD Heh. Since I found out she's playing herself as evil, I've been breaking into random cackles to the tune of "The Winchesters are going to hunt Paris Hilton."
-Between Oct 6th and Oct 8th afternoon - Not keeping track of where anymore, it's a madhouse out there for this ep. :-P - Several things:
--It's called "Fallen Idol"
--The boys are getting tied up to trees or something
--There will also be evil James Dean, evil Abraham Lincoln and evil Ghandi o.O (If it's possessed wax figures, I'm gonna laugh like a loon.)
--There will be a House of Wax shout-out, to which Sam's reaction will be amusing.
--It's not possessed!Paris Hilton, it's something that's taken her shape so it can eat her fans. (Bwah!)
-Dean will claim she can't eat him because he's not a fan (upon which I call bullshit, because he's the one that referenced her way back in first season)
Did I miss anything? I don't think so.
Like I said, this is the most I have ever been spoiled for an episode I think. But oddly, I'm not upset about it. Probably because it sounds like it'll be a crack-laden cheesefest with some kind of progress towards Sam and Dean working together again as a family, otherwise of little significant consequence.
Reaction and meta-bits for Supernatural 5.05 - "Fallen Idol"
(Vampire Diaries: "What are you?" Heh. Busted, apparently. XD)
Hee. Given the amount I knew about this episode from the masses of spoilers, I could've almost reacted to it just from those. No re-watch, so things will be sketchier than usual.
-Little Bastard? #130 What kind of car is that? Guy in car's so dead. And now he's seeing his breath. Yeah, he's toast.
-EAUGH!!! Okay, the head cut nearly in half by the windshield is kind of awesome.
-Was that a re-used Impala transition shot?
-You've spent only three weeks looking for the Colt and are now taking a break? Hm. Reluctance to find the thing he might have to plug Sam with, or just a need for a solvable case to reduce frustration levels? Hm.
-Aw, first case back together, training wheels. Dean's got massive trust issues, and he is gonna make Sam jump through hoops until he feels that he can trust him again. Except no way will Sam put up with that for long.
-Hm. Another person named Grossman. The last one ended up drinking in memory of his friend who got impaled on a roasting fork.
-"Drugs maybe?" Ooooo, a rational cop. He's gonna have problems coping with this case.
-There's some neat lighting happening in the interview room.
-Yay for evil cars! Ah, James Dean's car, not James Dean.
-Fell on the mechanic. Dean's freaked-outness about being under the car is really kind of cute, and entirely appropriate. :-) And I'm too thrilled by Dean taking a rubbing of something to call it an obvious dodge to explain why Dean doesn't just call the numbers out for Sam to write down. Whether that was Dean's deliberate decision so as not to include Sam in that little bit, or whether that was a necessary, or whether that was a filming contrivance that can be retconned in either direction, who knows?
-Also show of hands, who wants to see Metallicar take on James Dean's haunted car and beat the crap out of it? *raises hand*
-Dean in a bar wth a girl. Solo. That's... kind of sad sort of. I mean it used to be Sam would be on the laptop in the bar at least. Interesting that Dean has made himself some prop-business-cards to back up his bar flirting BS stories though. XD
-EVIL ABRAHAM LINCOLN!!! OMG I knew that was coming but that was SO, just, I mean the freaking TEETH and the shambling, OMG. Yay! \o/ There needs to be random evil Abraham Lincoln popping up randomly on every show and going after someone. How in hell did anyone film that section with a straight face. XD
-Ooo, and he... choked the guy 'til his head exploded? That's extreme. o.O
-Ah, okay, gunshot wound, no gun or bullet. That makes more sense. *nods*
-SPANISH! OMG yay! And Sam speaks it crappily! I'm Canadian, I took one Spanish class nearly 20 years ago and I understood what she was saying faster than Sam did. HEE! \o/
-*is floored* Two laptops? Dean has his own laptop now. This... fills me with great glee actually. Particularly because I think even though his is black, he and Sam have the same wallpaper. :-)
-"Muy, not muchos" YAY! Pedantic!Sam! I missed you!
-Hey, there's the spiky clock! Someone's keeping track of that thing... is it![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eilonwy?
-BWAH! Wax museum. *laughs like a loon* Really, it's the only thing that makes sense with that many famous people running around. I really wish I didn't know almost everything about this episode, because the ghost misdirect and the wax museum misdirect would have been cool things to puzzle around. Oh well.
-Also, could that BE a bigger shout-out to "House of Wax" I don't think so. XD
-Fonzie's jacket. Heheh. Now why couldn't we get an evil version of him? Not enough impersonators, I guess.
-Hi trunk! *smishes* They're staying in room 137.
-Cheeze Whiz on toast, Dean. You have no tact. Actually it appears that you want to have no tact right now. Okay, all part of the mutual healing process, same as whenever Sam gives you an earful about you treating him like a piddly puppy. This is the way Winchesters deal with problems. They brood, they snipe, they yell, they have a roadside chat and then wall it up or get past it. I think there's going to be more getting past than walling up this season, but that remains to be seen.
-Dean's Lincoln impression! Heee!
-You can see Padalecki starting to lose it and fight back a snicker as he's getting right up close to the wax Abe Lincoln. :-D
-BRAWLING WTH GHANDI!!! XD *HAS NO WORDS*
-It's Thursday! Sam's getting choked! BY GHANDI!!! XD
-Interesting that Sam's more of a fan of Ghandi than Abe Lincoln, but somehow that seems appropriate. Although I don't know why.
-...I'm kind of wondering how Sam knew Ghandi was trying to eat him, but I guess there was some unseen biting going on.
-"Fruitarian" Sam, you have just given your brother teasing material for all eternity.
-Yes! I love the 'equal partners' speech. And it's true. I'm sure other people with more brains will have shiny meta on that over the next few days. *nods*
-Hee! Poor rational Sherriff. Of course super-secret professional hitmen make more sense than ghosts or entities taking the form of famous people to eat their fans. ...Actually, it kind of does. *pats Sheriff anyway*
-"Pars Hilton" Sam and Dean's faces and Dean's verbal train-wreck! 'Whe- whu- hunh?'
-Holy smoke, Sam's gone from "I don't wanna poke my fingers in the mouth of the decapitated Vampire head" to getting forearm deep in a quasi-fresh corpse and fishing around for unknown objects. Which fits. Aside from the whole 'Four months alone hunting with Ruby and blood-sucking'toughening up his squeam-factor, if Sam's gonna make this equal partners business work he has to be willing to do the icky/hard things himself and not wheedle his big brother into doing it for him. He doesn't do it a lot anymore, and certainly not lately, and I'm going to miss the occasional bout of squeamish Sam, but I'm looking forward to watching these guys develop a truly equal partnership. It has to happen if they're going to beat the Apocalypse. Gnh. There's a 'but' there, and there's meta too, but it isn't surfacing right now.
-Seeds. Aha! Seeds from a tree they're getting tied to later?
-YAHTZEEEEEEEE!!!! Sam said Yahtzee! Dean's said Yahtzee twice as far as I can remember, has Sam ever said Yahtzee before?
-Okay, wait. So according to Sam, the seeds aren't from any plant or tree, but they're from a forest. Hm. Aren't forests made of plants and trees...? Maybe it was known plants and trees, and the forest was made of entirely unknown trees. If a forest full of unknown trees is destroyed, to they still leave seeds? Or nuts I guess? Apparently so. Or maybe I just misheard that. *handwaves confusedly*
-What have Pagan gods ever done to you Kripke? Especially when it isn't one. A Leshi (spelling varies) is a woodland spirit in Slavic mythology. They're even linked to demons. What's wrong with that as an explanation? Although I guess having Sam and Dean put all their clothes on inside out and backwards, their shoes on the opposite feet and setting whatever's left of the entity's forest in the Balkans on fire would be harder than chopping the head off with an iron axe. Not as much potential for gore either.
-Heh, look, a foresty area inside the wax museum, with trees to get tied to! Imagine that. Hi person in peril.
-Dean getting beat up by a petite blond will never not be funny. Even more so when that blond is Paris Hilton. And man alive does Sam suck at hand-to-hand.
-Okay, if an iron axe will kill her, why is she sharpening her nails on an iron knife? Maybe she likes some danger with her manicures? *handwaves*
-Yugo plant. Hee! I can't explain why that makes me smile.
-Hi soapbox regarding idolatry! Was half expecting you.
-Heee! Yep, Sam's double-take on 'House of Wax' was cute.
-Who Dean really idolizes. No way... No way! They didn't... naw. If they'd gotten JDM, there'd have been some serious noise about it. Gotta admit, it'd have been one hell of a bait and switch. A good thing though, because I don't think I could take either boy chopping off John's head, even if it was a fake John.
-Speaking of chopping off heads, glad they showed that taking a decent number of hits to get through. Iron axes aren't the most efficient weapon, for one thing they dull really fast, and neck bones are not easy to cut through. It's not just the bone, see, it's the cartilage and sinew and- What?
-Love the return to Sam and Dean giving each other the gears, even with the slight edge of 'we aren't quite all right yet, but it's a start.' Also, Sam, you got your ass kicked but Paris Hilton too, sweetie.
-*nods with the 'letting Sam grow up' speech*
-Hey, is that the 'Something Wicked' Motel? I think it is! Think that might be a deliberate bit of show meta, to have this conversation abut growing up in the same shooting location as where Dean told Sam about the Shtriga nearly getting him, and thus landing Dean with an even greater sense of duty regarding protecting Sammy being his number one job? (And also giving Sam the last of the Lucky Charms, let's not forget that.)
-Yay, acknowlegement of co-mutual dupitude. Um. Getting mutually duped. By evil. Yeah, that. Yes, they both had a part in getting the ball rolling, and yes, neither of them intended to do it. YAY FOR PROGRESS!!
-Dean lets Sam drive!!! Someone's long-held meta is getting fodder there.
-Hm. Music over the end credit: "Superstition"? That cut off abruptly. Hm. That was odd. *shrug* ETA: I apparently dodged a 'SOON'! O.O Thanks to the JoyTV feed for cutting it off entirely. \o/
So, gory cheesefest with a bit of plot-salad, and some family therapy tossed in. Cool.
