agt_spookyI 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!

Date: 2008-07-24 02:05 am (UTC)Oh god, that's so damn funny you mention that, because that's a total sore spot with my friend Chris, too!
Sam and DEan (sorry, Jeff and Rick) find him, he does his freaky psychic thing and either sends them into his memory
Hey, that's an interesting concept. Kind of like when the YED took Sam back in time to the night Mary died. I know he couldn't interact with her, but the concept is there. And yeah, I could totally accept that's how this all happens. Not because of some time traveling device that the boys stumble upon.
I guess I don't understnad how people could lack this much trust in Kripke. He hasn't done wrong by us so far (well, not really),
Honestly, until season three came along I was hardly, if ever, vocal about the choices Eric was making about the show. I was happy. I didn't like Jo, but she went away (and then came back awesome and they made her disappear again!) and I truly loved both first and second season.
But then Ruby and Bela came along. And I was dead on in my opinion of them and what they were going to do to the show, well before The Magnificent Seven ever aired. And it drove me away for nearly the entire season. I lost my faith in Eric with the choices he made last year and it really has colored my opinion of him now.
So I guess he needs to win back my trust and I want to be proved wrong, I really do, because I dearly missed my show last year and want to be excited about it again.
But I doubt Sam and Dean's hot cousin from another planet will team up with Kristy to emasculate them... again...
Ha! With Sera in her position of power that just might happen!
