If that makes sense. LOL So often we don't get to see the aftermath of these big things. Just once I'd like Sam to be nearby.Natalie J.

He finally stands, beats the phone to death, and announces that he quits. That's the last we see of him, and I was a bit disappointed by that. Sam has got to be part of Dean's destiny, and it bothers me a little that whenever Dean is forced to face that destiny, Sam is somewhere else.</EM><BR/><BR/>I thought this mirrored their real-life attitudes toward being Hunters. Sam has accepted his demon blood and is content to use it to fight evil. Dean, as you said, has refused the call. So, Sam doesn't need to face that destiny since he's already embraced it. I really thought this whole test was mostly for Dean, not so much for Sam. <BR/><BR/>Great post!

"Uriels the funniest..." was one of my favorites) Anyway... I knew there was something (other than the obvious) about this ep that bothered me. I didn't get it until I read your post, the color was off! It totally threw me. *Slaps head in complete shame* How did I not notice that?!?<BR/><BR/>I did really like the fact that Sam was a part of Deans realization that he was meant for something more. Dean would never have thought of hunting the ghost without Sam saying something. <BR/><BR/>I do have to say, after watching it, I have found myself saying "Right" way to much now. Funny how things like that seem to catch on. And did anyone else want to fix Dean's hair? I know everytime I saw it, I wanted to mess up his part. Grr.... <BR/><BR/>Sam was gorgeous in his polo! Although, I thought it was interesting that he was the tech help guy, and Dean was in the "manager-esque" role considering Sam's previous education. Could it be another thing that shows the change in his character? Or maybe I am looking way too much into it. <BR/><BR/>I cringed when the boys were taking the advice from the Ghostfacers, even though I thought it was hilarious! (Oh yeah, "It's time to do what I do best... Research" had me cracking up! Haha, Dean doing research? On computers? and the salads? lol) <BR/><BR/>Sorry about the uber long post...

The TPS reports from Office Space are classic, as is the beating to death of the printer that refuses to work -- like the other reports and the poor guy's computer that loses his work in this episode. Plus, just that feeling of drone-dom for people who work in cubicles. Also, there's the thread of stealing from the company.<BR/><BR/>So many funny moments in this episode -- loved that they were following the Ghostfacers' how-to tutorials.

I guess your dad and brother got what they like last night, huh? Too much ick for me!

I usually watch this show with my dad and my teenage brother, who watch it for the ghouls and bloodshed, and I was of course delighted to see Jensen all dressed up and pretty. The latte steaming was hilarious, and so was NPR Morning edition (that's what I do every morning!). <BR/><BR/>The episode aside, Jensen displayed some awesome acting once again. In addition to the gradual cracks from Dean Smith to Dean Winchester, there was that one moment where Zachariah says "you get to (something) and fornicate with women", and Dean is turned away from Zachariah and facing the camera. He has this expression on his face like "Hmm... you have a point there"... HIL-A-RIOUS!<BR/><BR/>Anyways, keep up the blogging. I've loved this show from day one, and hope Jensen graduates to other shows or movies so I get to see his acting skills go in different directions.Bit Of Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534610007513652995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-10855175301663152742009-03-27T12:05:00.000-05:002009-03-27T12:05:00.000-05:00Okay, totally OT, but I'm doing research for Holly...Okay, totally OT, but I'm doing research for Hollyweird and I wish I could find more on on-set visits to the show.

They need to work together even if it is Dean's destiny to stop the end. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, I think I might like that both boys have a destiny. It's not just Sam like it was in the first 3 seasons but now Dean is a huge part of "the" destiny.<BR/><BR/>And if it means we get to see Dean cleaned up and Jared bloody even one more time?

Even my daughter was cracking up at Fabio.<BR/><BR/>Tanya, I'm with you on the self-irreverence. I don't know how Sam said that line with a straight face. Ditto about the gruesomeness. My husband, who was the one who originally suggested Number One would like the show, keeps berating me for letting her watch such things. She's not bothered by it--and that's the problem! And yes, the boys working together was such a relief, at least temporarily.<BR/><BR/>It just struck me--Zachariah could have done it differently, could have just done Dean's life and left Sam out of it, especially after what Castiel saw him do. But he didn't, he made Sam an intrinsic part of the "what you are meant to do" thing. That's encouraging, despite the boys being apart at the end!<BR/><BR/>Gah, yes, Terri, Dean did clean up awfully nice. :) And I think I forgot to mention--the way the episode was lit, his EYES were so GORGEOUS.

And I loved when he was "Touched by an Angel" and the color leached out of the world. Really effective. I loved every inside joke and the way they toyed with the things we know and love about Dean -- when he turned the classic rock off in his car I was dying. And, man, did he look yummy is his suits. I mean I prefer his real "work attire," but he's pure gorgeousness. Sigh. And I've always known Jared was huge, but I really became aware of it in this episode. Now if I could just stand next to him to really get a sense of his size. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-53654188143136826652009-03-27T07:34:00.000-05:002009-03-27T07:34:00.000-05:00The last names cracked me up! And even though the...The last names cracked me up! And even though the episode Heart made me cry, I didn't even hesitate laughing out loud when Sam said he tried to call his girlfriend Madison and all he got was some animal hospital. (I love that even though Show drags us through emotional purgatory, it doesn't take itself too seriously to poke fun. Have you guys seen the extended promo for next week over at the CW site? Cracked me up!)<BR/><BR/>This was without a doubt my very favorite use of the ghostfacers ever. And I think one of the reasons I loved the episode so much was because the boys were working together--even as strangers, they had a better relationship than we've seen in a few weeks. I miss that! But could have done without so much gruesome--ugh. I covered my eyes when the guard was going <B>out</B> the elevator. But when he made it, I lowered my hands just in time to see him reach back in for Sam. Double ugh.<BR/><BR/>I sensed the balding boss was behind it, but when he came back in with a bonus on paper, I sensed demonic. I was afraid the demons were going to try to get him to sign some contract (with uberscary fine print) and keep him in la la land since we now know he's the only one who can actually stop the apocalypse. But I liked that it was Castiel's boss and the pep talk he gave Dean. It was a good ending, but part of me was wondering how Sam took it when he came back to reality, too. Again, we end with them apart--as opposed to when every episode closed with the two of them together in (or sitting on) the Impala. The division between them is clear even in the show structure!<BR/><BR/>Cannot wait til next week's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-1400245555531440032009-03-27T00:06:00.000-05:002009-03-27T00:06:00.000-05:00This season is killing me!
