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.

TV Shows Wear Halloween Costumes Too

Most television shows do some kind of Halloween episode at least once. I think that these are the best ones because even if it is a serious show with deep plot lines the Halloween episodes can give them a chance to be sillier and makes some jokes. The shows that are already supposed to be funny are great because they really do stupid stuff. Most Halloween episodes have one thing in common, they all play "The Monster Mash". They probably all play this song because it is the best Halloween song ever. If a show does a Halloween episode every year than there are usually common elements.

Last night the new show Eastwick had their Halloween episode. In the town of Eastwick, where everyone tells stories about witches and the magical history of the town, their Halloween tradition is to fill coffins with bad memories and on Halloween night burn them all in a huge bonfire. So because of a bad new story one of the main characters, Joanna, gets kidnapped by the pastor and he puts her into one of the coffins and she almost burns to death, until one of the other main characters, Kat, uses her power to make it rain and put out the fire. This was a good Halloween episode because it had costumes, it was funny and had witches with magical powers.

Surprisingly Supernatural has only ever had one Halloween based episode, but it was great anyways. It all started when a witch made a guy start coughing up razor blades until he died, then a teenage girl was burned to death when bobbing for apples. Once Sam and Dean got to town they realized that the whole purpose of these killings was to fulfil an ancient spell to cause the rising of Samhain. Samhain was what they thought the origin of Halloween, he was a demon who could control all of the monsters and ghouls that people use for Halloween. To hide from him people would wear masks, pumpkins had faces drawn on them to turn him away and candy was left out to please him. All of these traditions were passed down into Halloween now. When he did rise he started to create zombies, ghosts, spirits, and other creatures that like to kill people. This episode was good because it was all about Halloween and how it began. I liked this episode even though it was bloodier than other Halloween episodes.

The show Las Vegas, which is cancelled, only did two Halloween episodes on in the first season and one in the fifth season. In the first season "The Night the Lights of Vegas Went Out" was when someone in their casino, the Montecito, was shot moments after the power went out in Las Vegas. Three of the main characters, Delinda and Nessa and Sam, where all on the casino floor trying to keep everyone settled until security could get out of the surveillance room and come down to ID the killer. So while everyone was cut off from each other around the hotel the girls on the floor were trying to find out who was the insane killer. When the lights cam back on the discovered that it was a women who shot her husband. In the fifth season "When Life Gives You Lemon Bars" Delinda hired a new pastry chef for one of the restaurants in the Montecito who was pregnant. She later found out that this women was insane. She thought that her opinion was the only one that matter and everyone in the world was only there to eat her pastries. This women was not as insane as the one from season one. At the end of the episode everyone went to the Halloween party dressed in their costumes and had a good time with the rest of the staff. These episodes where good because Las Vegas was supposed to be a funny show and they were able to play with it for Halloween, the first season they decided to do a serious episode where Sam started to lose her mind and a goofy episode in the fifth season.

Other classic Halloween specials are on every Halloween too. One of the best Halloween specials is Look its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Other good Halloween specials are the Caster the Friendly Ghost movies and shows. Halloween is not complete unless you watch one of these classic Halloween specials.

Halloween episodes are good because they allow the people in the show to have a holiday where they can be different from their characters. For Eastwick it was a time for homicidal pastors, for Supernatural it was a time for a super demon to bring all types of evil to an unsuspecting town and for Las Vegas it was a time for murdering wives or hormonal pastry chefs. Halloween is a time of the year when you can act and dress differently than who you are and it is the same for television shows, they can be whatever they want to be.

This is Why You Never Want to Meet Your Idols

Supernatural was on last night and thankfully it was not about the apocalypse/demons. Sam and Dean were going on a good old ghost hunt, so they thought. This episode was of coarse really violent and a couple of people died. The people that did die died in ridiculous ways that they should be ashamed of. I liked this episode because i thought that the first two seasons were better because Sam and Dead hunted monster, ghosts, spirits and all sorts of evil creatures but starting in the third season all they do is hunt demons and finally they were hunting something besides demons. I thought that throughout the entire episode Dean was being too hard on Sam ans was treating him like a demon.

This episode started with some guy in Ohio buying a car named "Little Bastard". When the guy called his friend to show it too him the man who bought it was thrown through the windshield by nobody. Sam and Dean heard about it and set off to this small town. After they talked to the guy's friend he went home and was killed by Abraham Lincoln. Sam and Dean went to the wax museum in the town and saw that there was a Lincoln statue and a James Dean, the guy who owned "Little Bastard". They decided to go back the following night and salt and burn the two statues so that the spirits of the two people could not haunt the town anymore. When they were doing this Sam was attack by Gandhi. Once they got rid of him by salting and burning his glasses they realized that somethings was causing people to be killed by their idols. They learned back at the motel after doing hours of research that it was a pagan god was killing people because people used to look up to it and it would kill them, but now no one cared so it is taking them shape of other peoples idols and killing them. They got a call form the sheriff of the town and were told that two girls are in his office reporting that their friend was kidnapped by Paris Hilton. Sam and Dean went back to the wax museum and were captured by Paris Hilton. She then started to beat them up until Sam got away and killed her with their iron ax.

I thought that this episode was good because Sam and Dean were not fighting demons. I liked the fact that Dean, the guy who fights monsters and demons, got his butt kicked by Paris Hilton. Some people say that you should never meet your idols because they always let you down, but according to the people who write Supernatural you should not meet your idols because they will kill you. Dean was being too hard on Sam and it started to become obvious that Dean only agreed to go hunting with Sam again because Dean thought that he meet be able to stop Sam from letting Lucifer into his body. I liked this episode and would give it a rating of 3 out of 5.

Supernatural: Return of the Croatoan Virus

The fourth episode of Supernatural was on last night and was probably the best episode of the season so far. The title of this episode was "The End", this was the name because it was about Dean being sent into the future by Zachariah so that he would see how the future would be if Dean said no to Micheal and stayed on the path of trying to kill Lucifer. I liked this episode because it Incorporated old stories from the show including the colt and the Croatoan virus. This episode along with a similar episode from the third season when Castiel sends Dean into the past was too much centered around Dean and there was not enough Sam.

The episode starts with Dean getting to his hotel room and getting a call from Castiel, because Castiel thinks that he has gotten a lead on how to find "the colt". Dean does not believe him because he did not think that the demons wold keep a demon killing gun around. Soon after Dean goes to sleep Zachariah wakes him up so that he can send him into the future. Dean wakes up in the year 2014 to find that the town he went to sleep in is now totally destroyed. Dean ventures outside of find out what happened and is attacked by a little girl, after Dean gets away from her he finds "CROATOAN" painted to a wall. Once he saw this he knew he was in trouble because he remembered going to a small town a few years ago, in season 2, and finding "CROATOAN" carved into a tree and everyone in the town went nuts because they wee infected with the demonic virus that caused them all to become vicious killers. As Dean was running away from the crowd of infected "croats" the US army comes in and shoots them all to bits. After Dean escapes from the town he notices that the town had been fenced off by the government because it was a "Hot Zone of the Croatoan Virus". Dean decided to go to a friends house to see if they could help him, but he was interrupted by Zachariah telling him that this is what will happen if he continues on his current path and that the only way out is to say yes to Michael. Dean eventually finds a underground survivors camp where he learns that these people are fighting the demons and "croats" and are being lead by him. After Dean was discovered by future Dean he was locked up so that the rest of the people in the camp would not freak out because there were two Dean Winchesters. Eventually past Dean escapes and starts to talk to the rest of the people in the camp like Castiel and Chuck, a prophet. Meanwhile future Dean was on a mission and when he returns he shows everyone tat finally after five years he found a way to kill Lucifer, he had found the colt. The whole group of people went to kill Lucifer and they were all killed except for past Dean because Lucifer knew that without Dean Sam would never say "yes". After Dean confronts Lucifer in Sam's body he is sent back to 2009. After Dean gets back he goes to see Castiel and calls Sam so that they can get back together to start hunting again.

I liked this episode much better than the three before it because it had more of the earlier stories in it. I thought that it was really good that Dean had to face Sam after Lucifer had entered his body because it forced Dean to Look at what would happen to him if he cut Sam out of his life. Future Dean was being very mean and harsh with everyone in his camp and it showed what Dean would become if he obsessed over killing Lucifer with the colt. I thought that it was not a good idea to re-introduce the colt onto the show because it was better when they did not have it because it made their lives easier. I would have thought, like Dean, that the demons would not keep a gun around that was built to kill demons. I thought that it was awesome that in this horrible dystopian future where everything is the worst possible outcome the president of the United States is Sarah Palin. Even though there were some things that were not as great the episode was still the best of the season and I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

The colt was introduced in the first season to Sam and Dean by the father John. I found this video on YouTube from the episode.

Supernatural Season 5: The Road So Far

On September 10, 2009 the fifth season of Supernatural premired. The main characters of Supernatural are Sam and Dean Winchester, they hunt down monster, ghosts, sprits, demons and all other kinds of evil and kill it. At the end of the fourth season Sam used powers that he got from drinking demon blood to kill Lilith, the first demon ever. By killing Lilith, Sam broke the sixty-sixth seal of the appocalpse and sent Lucifer free from hell. Now all of the prophecies of the appocalpse are being fulfilled and Sam and Dean along with every other hunter in the world are at war with Lucifer and his army of demons. The only thing that stands in the way of the demons is of course Angels. The Angels revealed to Dean that he is the vessal from the archangel Michael and that by letting Michael into his body Dean will kill Lucifer and bring paradise to Earth. Dean of course says no and leaves the Angels behind after Castiel, an angel who actually likes Sam and Dean, carves symbols into the ribs to hide them from every angel in creation. At the end of the second episode of the fifth season Sam and Dean decided that Sam does not yet have his craving for demon blood under control and is in no shape to be hunting so they go their separate ways for now.

The third episode of this season was on Thursday night. In this episode Sam is working at a bar trying to fight the urge to go out and hunt down all the demons. Dean on the other hand is working with Castiel to hunt down an archangel to ask him where God is because they think that God can stop the appocalpse instead of letting Michael into Dead's body. The most important part of this episode was at the very end when Lucifer appears in one of Sam's dreams and tell him the the body he is currently posessing is just a pit stop and the the real vessal for Lucifer is Sam and that he will use Sam to end the world and bring hell onto Earth. This episode was not as eventful as other episodes of Supernatural and I would only give this episode a rating of 2 out of 5.
