Okay so I’m a bad fan (or maybe just busy) and just watched this past week’s episode of SUPERNATURAL. There are so many things about it that I just have to dive right in…

The Gilmore Girls reference and Sam’s facial expression - Priceless

Sam (on the LA weather): “It’s practically Canadian!”

Gary Cole is always great and sure is dead!

Dean: “What’s a P.A.?”
Sam: “I think they’re kinda like slaves.”

Could Dean have been more into Craft Services? Hysterical.

I loved the idea of the studio creating fake deaths and accidents on set to create a buzz while acting as a motivator for the cast.

Dean’s movie trivia/knowledge is quite extensive, who knew?

The 3 Men & a Baby reference - Loved it

Sam: “Maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie because it sucks?”

Did Walter remind you of Jonathan from Buffy? Just not as cute or funny.

The Die Hard line… I almost died when Dean said it: “Come out to the Coast, get together, have a few laughs…”

“You’re One Hell of a P.A.”

And I was so excited because there were all these references and visuals from my set visit! Within minutes I saw some folks from production roaming around the fake Hollywood set. The one I was most excited about was Fan Coordinator Lesley DeHaan whom Sam bumped into on set. Shout out to my girl Lesley, love her!

Next was the fake movie poster for the slasher flick Carnivore Carnival which I got a picture of.

One of the Visual FX shots we saw them creating in the second VX trailer was used in “Hollywood Babylon.” We got to see one of the main FX guys working on adding the Verizon logo to Sam’s phone. Its the phone that they wield around to see the spirits and that Verizon logo was not originally on there. They had to digitally add it to every frame of the shots. *Interesting tidbit, the fingers seen holding the phone do not belong to JPad, but rather to the actual VFX artist involved in creating the visual. How fun.

It wasn’t the best episode of Supernatural but it was great to see a different (and more fun) side to Dean while Sam had to play the straight man. I cannot wait until next week when we get the return of some Winchesters and their spouses…

I love these relief episodes. I get so annoyed with shows like ER that claim every week is the most dramatic episode ever! We have what I think are going to be four heavy episodes of Supernatural coming up. So we needed some levity and Dean being a fanboy.

It’ll be hard for any funny episode to beat Hell House in my mind…

You are reading my mind Ducky - I made several of the same observations/comments in a post in the GMMR forums.

Love it!!!!

I believe you have summed up all of my thoughts on this episode. omg, so i wasn’t the only one who saw walter and was reminded of jonathan? oh good, i thought i was crazy for a second there.

Thanks for the shout out, Darlin, but it was *Dean* who took the call sheets from me, not Sam.

Good eye, though!
