Supernatural 5.08

[mayachain]

I made notes as I watched - here goes:

Flashback - Angels, Lucifer and the Trickster? This scares me.

Soo, twisty reality something something Trickster joke - JP & JA doing bad comedy is quite hilarious. Also, those opening credits scare the shit out of me. Is that a tandem? Haven't we already learned that the state of fucked-up-ness can be read right off the state of Metallicar?

Oh, hey, we're jumping back. Not sure whether or not we should thank the writers for that.

The Incredible Hulk? Padalecki's "Sam trying very hard not to laugh" - I love it. So, anger management guy killed by Hulk - yes, we know there's a Trickster.

Oooh, and Sammy knows there's no killing the Trickster! You still haven't told Dean everything that went down, have you? (The boys need to pay attention real good and hope The Trickster has another lesson to teach them.)

It's iffy to hear Sam talking about lowering their moral standards, but I'm with him on this one. If only because I'm a Trickster fan.

TRAP! TRAP! TRAP!

I wonder if The Knife would kill The Trickster? They didn't have it yet back at Mystery Spot, yes?

Aand we're in Dean's hospital show of lameness! Haha! I wonder if they can hear the music?

So Sammy's a brillian coward, now? Hmm. (Knowing it's the Trickster creating the reality, I now suspect a message in everything.)

Not that I've ever watched it, but are they ripping off JDM's show? What is it with these people and all the in-jokes?

White shoes. Dean back-from-the-not!future must feel slightly (if not a lot) phobic toward you. And, WTF, is The Trickster really that small?!

"You two mutton-heads broke the world." Ahahahaha! There are no rules, Dean my precious darling. At least not unchangeable ones. Wanna know what might gain you the guy's favor? Entertain him!

Now Sammy is afraid... to do what exactly? (Messages in everything. I tell you.) Also? Trickster. I adore you, but do not kill Dean. Repeating yourself is boring.

Sammy may not know high-tech surgery, but he knows how to stitch up wooounds! And again with the white shoes.

Let me guess... a game show held in a language they don't speak... with electrocution? Starting at their feet? *reads question* My, my, how we're combining lessons with punishment, here.

Ouch!! At least I was wrong about the electrocution? Their expressions = priceless. Youch.

CASTIEL? Oh, wow. Now, which one of you is more powerful? // "pretty-boy angels"! *hoots with laughter*

*reads question* Oh man, that's mean. Please let the answer be no. // Nooo! Not that I want Dean to get kicked in the nuts, but isn't that answer way worse? Did Dean understand the words? *trembles* No, he didn't. Oh, good.

I told you you had to entertain him!

Castiiiiel!
I had this theory of how, since The Trickster is supposed to be a god, there was also a tiny chance that he might be the God. God, having left the building and being out there, having fun, testing the boys along the way and now, before (during?) the apocalypse, once again. Sadly, if what Castiel believes about the amulet is right, then I must be wrong. However, not a Trickster? Who then? Lucifer?

...no, see, I don't believe the Trickster would want the boys to play unhappy vessel!family. And, what, Don't ever presume to know what I am? WTF? Hmm.

Cut CSI scene - so cheesy! Can they hear the music? CAN THEY?? And stop it with the sunglasses already! -- Don't be killing real people here, now, Dean.

Dead guy still dead. Also, don't you know the wooden stake doesn't cut it? We now enter The Game, round four.

Sam + Metallicar = K.I.T.T.!! Ahahaha! The two things in life Dean loves the most, combined. Doesn't it make sense?

News flash. Seriously, how do you not know this?The stake didn't work either of the last times!

Dean now thinks Zachariah? Would also make sense, if Zach weren't such a puppy to Michael.

"Nobody gets the jump on Cas like you did." I love that it's Sam who says this.

Gabriel?

Listen up, boys, there's stuff you can be learning here. ...The destiny part seems waay exaggerated. What did you do at Mystery Spot if not try to stop it from happening? He's contradicting himself, here. I'm kind of disappointed. I can only can explain away by saying the apocalypse might have been scheduled, but wasn't underway yet back then.

Gabriel and Castiel... if Lucifer is Michael's younger brother, and the concept really translates to angels in a way that makes sense - where do they fit in?

"This is about you being too afraid to stand up to your family." Dean, I love you.

That last look between Castiel and Gabriel - I wish I knew what it means. But I be we'll see more of him before the end.

Hey, boys? Wanna know the difference between you and Lucifer&Michael? You can forgive each other. And you can get over yourselves for the sake of the world.


Looking forward to the next episode!
