Supernatural - script sides for episode 4x04
I got a chance to read the script sides for Episode 4 this morning.
Ok, the episode is called In the Beginning and it's the one with teenage John and Mary. Now when I first heard that we were going to have a "time travel" episode I thought for sure that they really meant "flashback".
Boy, was I ever wrong.
I truly cannot BELIEVE that we're doing an actual time traveling episode! This is NOT The X-Files! It's NOT Quantum Leap! This show is NOT science fiction! It's always been billed as a HORROR show! What the hell is Eric thinking??
This is UNBELIEVABLY stupid.
The only thing, and I mean the only thing that could salvage this is that the Trickster is somehow behind this and created this...universe that Sam and Dean find themselves in. That none of it is real and he's screwing with them yet again.
Because really, how are Sam and Dean going to time travel for real?? If someone's got a theory that doesn't involve aliens and/or a time machine, lay them on me, because I really am curious as to how you guys think this is going to happen. Because right now, this is serious Jump the Shark territory for me.
And what's with not calling Sam and Dean by their real names in the script pages any more? I mean, it's more than obvious who's who. This time it's "Rick" and "Jeff".
By the script pages, I'm not sure what the plot of this is going to be, besides John wanting to propose to Mary, but Mary's father being totally against it, and Sam trying to warn Mary to not get out of bed on November 2nd, 1983. I think we all know how that turned out.
Oh, we do find out where Sam got his name from - Samuel is the name of Mary's father. Who is being played by MITCH PILEGGI! Woot! That's about the only thing I'm excited about. :-) Been an XF fan since Day One (hence my agt_spooky nickname) so I can't wait to see Mitch on my favorite show. :-)
Ok, I'm done rambling. I'm interested to hear what you guys think of this!

Also, for some reason, I'm not to concerned about the 'other' casting spoiler yet. That at least makes sense. Sam is alone after dean dies... he needs SOMEONE and bobby just won't cut it. (besides for all you slashy winsest people, I can just imagine what you could do with that!)
But I am so stoked that I was right, that Mitch is playing Mary's father. I just KNEW it wasn't going to be John's Dad.
*I need a Bring on Season 4 icon! Anyone have any?*

That's the only way I see this working, if it's not a device of some kind that sends them back. I want Eric to keep this in the realm of urban legends and folklore the show is based on.

Surprisingly, I'm not up in arms about it, either. Because like you said, Sam's spent four months alone, lost after losing Dean, I can see him turning to someone for comfort.

Yeah, when I found out about Mitch, then read the sides I thought having him be Mary's father was a much better fit. Can't wait to see him!
