Supernatural 4x17

[sholio]

... damn you, show! Just when I decide to stop watching, here you go with the best episode in years! Seriously, I loved it; I had a few problems with the big reveal (and the lack of Dean/Sam interaction at the very end) but this is the show I miss, the show that could balance funny and serious and angsty, the show that was unpredictable and fun and even subtle on occasion.

Maybe I'll have more thoughtful reactions later, but for now, I can haz squee? Yes I can haz. *g*

Yeah, it was nice to have an ep not closely related to the mytharc. I rather like having a mix in shows, not the mytharc taking over completely (far too often they are kind of like the blob that way, swallowing up everything). Actually I would have liked it even better had it not some angel causing this (because the message that Dean just ought to "get over" hell is a bit problematic, IMO).

But yeah, it was a fun episode. And it's nice to have some humor without my embarrassment squick being triggered or their unfortunate "rape is funny" plots.

Yeah, it was a breath of fresh air to remember why I like this show:)

yea, it was a pretty good episode. We were actually betting on the Trickster doing the monkey business for some reason... but it was an angel.

I quite enjoyed the episode myself - such a pleasant surprise! I almost didn't watch it, but then we had an extra fangirl over who doesn't like to watch it by herself, and so we did, and... it was fun! It was cute! There was nothing cringe-worthy anywhere! And the bit where giving Dean back his memories lowered the saturation cracked me up. Way to be meta, show. *g*

Squee is good. The world needs more of it. Sadly, I'm not getting my hopes up about more squee from SPN any time soon...

Heh, it was a great episode. I loved it even despite the sanctimonious salesperson/priest turned angel at the end. Oddly enough the line that made me cracked up the most was Dean saying "leave it for health club" in the elevator in the very begining. Still amuses me to think about.

This was a fun episode, only gripe was the last five minutes...but the rest completely made up for it. :) I also really miss the two brothers, going town to town hunting supernatural stuff part of the show...Basically, I do love their monster of the week stuff. Hope it comes back.
