Who Said TV Could Never Hurt You?

Last night at 9 pm Supernatural was on. This episode had a past character on the show. In two other episodes from previous season a pagan god who was a Trickster was on the show. The Trickster is pagan god who is able to distort reality and mess with peoples minds. The Trickster has a mean sense of humor. He likes to give bad people their "just desserts". In the previous episodes the Trickster had first messed with other people but then the second time tried to only mess with Sam and Dean. This was a good episode because it got away from the demons and it is always better when they bring a past character back because they do not have to give a back story.

This time the Trickster tried to mess with Sam and Dean by putting them in television world. They were put into many different shows because it was all a game to the Trickster. When Sam and Dean first got the town where the Trickster was and investigated the murder the police thought that the murder was done by a bear, but Sam and Dean where more interested in the wife`s story because she thought that her husband was killed by the Incredible Hulk. They now realized that the Trickster was behind the murders. The Trickster lured them to a warehouse where they ended up in a hospital drama called Dr. Sexy, MD. This show was based on the show Grey`s Anatomy. The Trickster confronted Sam and Dean and told them that they had to play along with his game or they will die. Dean was shot shortly after that and Sam had to play his role in the show as a doctor to save Dean`s life. As soon as surgery was done Sam and Dean were transported to a Japanese game show called Nutcracker. All of the questions where asked in Japanese and if they got the question wrong or did not answer that a huge metal pole would hit them in the balls. Sam was the only one that was hit and Dean tried to answer and he spoke in Japanese. Eventually they went through many other television shows, some based on real shows and others where totally made up.

Some of the funniest shows they went to was CSI: Miami where Sam was Horatio Caine and Dean was another CSI tech. They both played the parts and made fun of the body movements of the characters. Another good clip they went to was a commercial for Genital Herpes medication where Sam had to be one of the people who endorsed the product and had to keep saying that he had genital herpes. After they where in CSI: Miami they thought that they had killed the Trickster and they went back to their motel and then Dean realized that he could not find Sam when they were back at the motel. Dean went out to their car and could hear Sam talking, but could not see him. They realized that the Trickster had turned Sam in KITT as they were driving back to the warehouse to fight the Trickster the Knight Rider music was playing the whole time. Once they found the Trickster they trapped him a ring of Holy Fire because they figured that he was and angel. It turned out that the Trickster was actually the archangel Gabriel.

I thought that this episode was the best in this season. I thought that it was good because it was really funny and got away from the serious nature and the darkness of the rest of the episodes. I was surprised when the Trickster turned out to be an archangel because he was in other episodes and was just a normal monster. It made sense that he was an archangel because in the other two episodes Sam and Dean killed him and he kept coming back.Of course there had to be an element of danger in the episode and it was represented by Sam and Dean getting hurt and almost dying because of television shows. I thought that this was the best episode of the season and by far the funniest part was the herpes commercial because Dean was in the background the entire time laughing at Sam because he had to keep saying he had genital herpes. I thought that this episode would deserve a 4.5 out of 5.
