3.5 Bedtime Stories Sam: "Well, I'm thinking about fairy tales." Dean: "That's nice. Do you think about fairy tales often?" I have to give them marks for cleverness, because the fairy tale references were pretty funny. The "three pigs" were talking about one gust of wind blowing their wooden house over, and the one that survived wanted to use cinder blocks. I was completely creeped out by Granny in the gingerbread house enthusiastically ripping up poor Ken with her big sharp knife and great big smile. In the Little Red Riding Hood bit, Dean was the huntsman. That actually fit. They made Callie look like Snow White, too. Black hair, white skin, red lips, all laid out looking beautiful. What finally set Callie off? I assume she wasn't killing via fairy tale for years, that it just started. Did Garrison read her fairy tales for the entire eleven years, or did he just switch from Dickens or Grisham? I guess they were lucky it wasn't Stephen King. Two questions. I assume the guy became the Wolf, not once but twice, because he had a Wiley Coyote tatt. (Wiley Coyote was appropriate, considering his luck.) Is he now wanted for murder? And what did the big fat frog mean? The fractured fairy tales bookended developments in the Crossroads plot. Dean asked Sam to just let him go. No freaking way. I liked that Sam defied big brother and tried to break the deal, anyway, and that he went ahead and killed the demon. There was a chance she was lying about the deal after all, because she lied like mad about Dean; she was obviously trying to turn Sam somehow. "No more desperate, sloppy, needy Dean. You can finally be free." Dean has not been desperate or needy, at all. Sloppy, possibly. So who's her boss? I thought Azazel was the demon boss, and Sam was going to be second in command. Maybe, in order to save Dean, Sam will have to ascend (or descend) and rescind the order himself. Bits and pieces: -- The episode actually started with a billboard that said, "Once upon a time." -- The boys got to wear nice suits (new ones, too) for much of the episode, which made it feel like the X-Files. Loved Dean setting Sam up as a sketch artist. -- Dean referenced the subplot in "The Sixth Sense" about Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is what happened to Callie. -- This week: Maple Springs, New York. -- The guys were Detectives R. Plant and J. Page. Led Zeppelin. I didn't even have to look that one up. Quotes: Sam: "Do you remember Cinderella? With the pumpkin that turns into a coach and the mice that become horses?" Dean: "Dude, could you be more gay?" Dean: "I'm going to go stop the Big Bad Wolf. Which is the weirdest thing I've ever said." Another fun, clever episode. I watched X-Files from the beginning to the end but never loved it like I love Supernatural. Maybe it's just more my type of show. Three out of four stars, Billie |
