AgtSpooky's Hangout

Hey guys!

Over at Buddy TV they've got a new article up about Long Distance Call, along with two behind the scenes videos they shot while they were on set, watching this episode being filmed.

Check it out: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/supernatural/exclusive-supernatural-video-b-19083.aspx

Happy Friday, everyone!

Ok, first off - MYSTERY SPOT! Woot! I am SO glad that CW decided to repeat that last night, because those of us here in Chicago never got to see the beginning of it when it was first on, because of a local news press conference. So I finally saw the gargling and the toothpaste! LOL! Damn, that really was a fantastic episode, wasn't it? Kudos again to Jared for a fantastic performance.

After Mystery Spot and before I went to bed I watched Devil's Trap, another fantastic episode.

I jotted down a few of my thoughts as I watched it:

• It's so sad that Bobby never got to see John again before he died.

• Dean acts surprised about Meg being possessed, but John had already mentioned the possibility of that to both Sam and Dean. Hmmm....

• Dean's anger and desperation to find John was really, really scary during the exorcism scene. Awesome job there, Jensen.

• Sam speaking Latin is very sexy. *g*

• I have to say that I agreed with Dean's decision to exorcise Meg, to free her even though he knew it would kill her. Would you want to be trapped inside your own body, being used by a demon?

• I wonder what happened between John and Bobby for Bobby to pull a shotgun on him. Any thoughts on that, you guys?

• "I'm gonna be the one to bury you." And damn if that didn't come true with John and nearly came true during AHBL for Sam.

• "This sucks out loud." I have to admit I now use that phrase in my everyday life. :-)

• "I got a Yorkie upstairs and he pees when he's nervous." LOL! I will always love that line.

• Sexy firemen!! I remember thinking about Dean when I took my own fire academy classes. *g*

• Poor Sebastian Spence! I've loved him since First Wave, and the poor guy only gets to say three words in two episodes ("It's a fake!") and then Dean shoots him in the head. Ouch!

• "For you or Dad, the things I'm willing to do or kill...it scares me sometimes." That line really, really got to me. Dean's dedication to his family runs soul deep.

• How sad is it that Dean knows it's not really John because he praised him.

• I loved it that Sam sided with Dean, just because Dean said that John was "different". He didn't question anything after that, just stood by his brother. God, I love those two, and their bond.

• DemonJohn's voice is sexy as hell! Kudos to Jeffrey Dean Morgan for the different inflection and mannerisms he did as the YED. Sent shivers down my spine!

• DemonJohn all up in Dean's face was totally and completely intense.

• "They don't need you. Not like you need them." Wow, just drive that spike a little deeper, damaging Dean even more. And Dean with the smartass answer to that, trying desperately to hide his pain at DemonJohn's words.

• "Dad! Don't you let it kill me!" God, that scene with Dean bleeding so badly, begging for his life just rips my heart out.

• Even after all of that, bleeding profusely, Dean's first thought is of his father.

• I can see both sides - John and Sam's - John just wanted the YED killed, no matter if it meant his own death and Sam just couldn't, wouldn't kill his father.

• "No sir, not before everything." Another awesome line that again spoke volumes about Sam and Dean's bond.

• I remember when Devil's Trap first aired and the semi slammed into them, my first thought was "Not the Impala!" LOL! I mean, I knew Sam and Dean would survive, and I was pretty sure John would - but the car?? Was it expendable in the eyes of Kripke?? That whole summer between season 1 and 2 was torture! :-)


So there you have it, my impressions of Devil's Trap. What did you guys think of it? Liked it, hated it? Did you think it was a good season ender? I know I would've been devastated if it had been canceled, with an ending like that!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - disc 3 of the Supernatural season 1 DVD set is made of awesome.

I mean, just look at this line up: Home - Asylum - Scarecrow - Faith. For me, it don't get no better than that in first season. I felt the show really started hitting it's stride with these four episodes and just built on it for the rest of the season.

I watched Home on Monday night and last night I watched Asylum, and just for the heck of it I thought I'd list a few things I really liked about it...

• Rockford, IL - this was the first appearance of my home state and I got quite a chuckle out of it

• Sam and Dean mention Caleb and Pastor Jim. I remember being so excited to finally see them in Salvation and then they were gone in the blink of an eye. A horrible, horrible decision, IMO. They could've been great recurring characters.

• "I love the guy, but he writes like friggin' Yoda" Love that line!

• Dad's telling us to go somewhere. We're going." Dean being the good little soldier and it isn't until Something Wicked that we understand why he always obeys John. And here in Asylum we get a glimpse of how rebellious Sam's always been of his father.

• I love Jensen flipping up over the fence at the Asylum - we get to see his tummy. :-)

• "Let me know if you see any dead people, Haley Joel."

• "The freaks come out at night."

• "Who's the hotter psychic? Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt or you?"

• Dean impersonating Jack Nicholson and Sam completely ignoring him never fails to crack me up.

• It doesn't matter what he wants." - "That attitude right there? That's why I always got the extra cookie." Again with the annoyance with John from Sam. I thought this episode did a great job with set up - Sam getting more and more pissed at both Dean and John until everything comes exploding out at the end.

• Love Sam trying to talk about his "road trip" with the younger Dr. Ellicott.

• "How do you feel about this brother you're road tripping with?" Very interesting that we never got to hear Sam's answer. What do YOU think he said?

• I thought it was great that they made Kat the strong one and that Gavin was kind of a wuss. :-)

• "Why would anyone want a job like that?" - "I had a crappy guidance counselor." - "And Dean? He's your boss?" Man, I just love that exchange between Sam and Kat.

• Okay, look at the size and depth of the holes the rock salt left in the cement wall when Kat fires the shot gun. We'll get back to that in a minute.

• When I saw Asylum for the first time when it originally aired, I remember being in total and complete shock that Sam actually shot Dean!

• Wow, those were some pretty hurtful things coming out of Sam's mouth. All of those repressed emotions and thoughts finally breaking free. And poor Dean, taking the brunt of it, being called pathetic along with everything else. Even though I've seen this episode countless times, my heart still hurts for Dean. This is just the start, our first glimpse into how damaged Dean's psyche really is.

• "You hate me that much? You could kill your own brother?" And my god if Sam doesn't pull the trigger not once, not twice, but FOUR times. You could almost see the light go out in Dean's eyes when Sam did it, that he really would have killed him if the gun had been loaded.

• Ok, what's with Dean's reaction, like there's a horrible odor coming from Ellicott's remains. They've been there for 30 years! They're not gonna smell! LOL!

• At the end there, you can tell that deep down Dean doesn't believe that Sam didn't mean the things he said, further wounding this already damaged man.

• Then the very, very end, with Sam sitting up in bed with the phone - "Dad?" and then fade to black and then it was SIX weeks before we got to see Scarecrow. I thought the wait was gonna kill me. :-)

• Ok, back to the rock salt blast that tore chunks out of the cement wall, which SHOULD have done the same thing to Dean's chest, right? Well I guess the older Winchester was wearing a bullet proof vest under his shirt, 'cause the next time we see him and his BARE chest in Scarecrow, there's not a scratch on him! That annoyed me to no end. Along with the disappearing scars from Shadow, too! Those boys must have some incredibly durable skin! :-)


There you have it, my mini review of Asylum. What do you guys think of the episode? One of your favorites or not so high up on your list? Did I miss anything you particularly liked about it? Let's chat!

So today's obviously the day for me to be amused. Which is good, considering it's Monday. :-)

First there was Jensen and his impression of Tom Welling on the Aussie TV interview (LOL!) and now it seems as though the ghost in our warehouse has decided to be my companion in the morning when I'm on the treadmill. :-) I kid you not, this has happened twice now. I'm on the one treadmill and suddenly the screen on the one next to me lights up and turns on, all by itself, then shuts itself off a few minutes later. It scared the crap outta me the first time it happened, but now I think Fred (which I've decided to name the ghost) is just saying hello and good morning. :-)

Then there's the other thing that completely amused me. I was watching The Usual Suspects last night, which I've seen about a zillion times, when I suddenly notice something for the very first time. When Dean tells Diana to go find Sam he says to look for the first motel in the phone book and ask for Jim Rockford.

We then cut to a shot that pans across a table to Sam's computer and then Sam. Well for the very first time I noticed the things sitting ON the table:



ROTFL! The Aardvark Motel?? I swear I laughed my butt off at that. Yep, that'd definitely be the first motel in the phone book! Man, I don't know why I never saw that before, but it amused me greatly. :-)

Any amusing things going on in YOUR life today? *bg*

So I was watching In My Time of Dying last night (and no matter how many times I've seen it, I still get teary-eyed at John's final scenes with his sons) and I've got a question that I've been wondering about since the episode first aired.

When Sam is in Dean's room for the first time, the doctor comes in and says that John is awake. Next we see John asking Sam what the doctor said about Dean's condition. Sam and John have their conversation and as Sam gets up to leave, John hands him that piece of paper. John says it's items for protection against The YED, but we then find out it's actually items to summon the YED.

Now here's my question - if John didn't know about Dean's condition prior to Sam telling him, why did he have that list already made up? He didn't know Dean was dying. He wouldn't already know he was going to summon the YED to make a deal for Dean's life.

So...why was that list already made up? Are we supposed to think that the doctor told John about Dean's condition before Sam came in and that John was just pretending he didn't know? Because really, why would John want to summon the YED with one son barely hanging on to life, another really beat up and himself in a hospital bed with a gunshot to his leg and his arm in a sling? None of them were in any condition to have what Sam called a "macho showdown" with the YED.

Am I the only one who wondered about that pre-prepared list? Or am I just missing something and it makes perfect sense to all of you? :-)

Any thoughts? Would love to hear them!

Holy CRAP you guys, did you see the new promo stills that are up for Episode 11 (which was formerly episode 12)?
