Supernatural: 3x08: A very Supernatural Christmas

[certainthings]

- If Sam was a chubby 12 year old, when did he get chubby? When he was 12? A month before?

- How old was Sam in '91? Dean would've been 11ish, no? And wouldn't that put Sam around 9? Didn't John give Sam a gun when he was 9? Was this after Christmas?

- ETA: Okay, I thought they were 2 years apart. Not four. Why, I thought this, I do not know. Still, I thought Sam looked like he should've already had that gun for the monsters in his closet.

- Poor young Sammy.

- I love that Sam gave the amulet to Dean. And I love that I said, "the amulet" before Dean opened it. It's rare that I call these things. I need Colbert to teach me his ways.

- "We're here to watch." Ahahahahha.

- Evil!Santa reminded of "The Breather" from Student Bodies, and if you haven't seen that movie you really really should.

- "Why do they always run away from me? It's the galoshes. They're a dead giveaway. Why do I wear them? It isn't even raining!"

- "Hasn't there been enough senseless killing? Let's have a murder that makes sense!"

- ... I should stop copying and pasting quotes from the movie.

- Rose Abbot being all evil! I bet Harold drove her to it. *nods*

- The ending. Oh, God. Oh, boys! *hugs them* *cries*

- So I really really enjoyed this episode. Like a lot.

- But. Uhm.

Kripke: What I really rub my hands together in glee about is that we are far and away the most violent Christmas special in the history of television.

Violent compared to what? A Charlie Brown Christmas? Sure parts were a bit gory but I wouldn't call it "violent". Unless you were one that called It's a Wonderful Life violent.

Yeah, there were a couple little inconsistencies in the flashbacks that made me twitch but I made myself turn a blind eye. I mean Sam WAS younger than that when John supposedly handed him the gun for the monster in the closet, right?

Young Sammy's rockin' the emo AND the bitchface. Boy started quick.

I was so glad that is was the amulet and I called it, too. Yay, we're learning!

Sam needs to work on the whole "thinking before speaking" thing, eh?

I missed the first few minutes of the ep so when I saw evilnot!Santa come down the chimney I was bouncing up and down chanting "eat the kid eat the kid chomp on that adorable child!"

The ending: AGREED. *hugs them*cries*hands them gifties and booze-laced eggnog*

I think It's a Wonderful Life is violent to my braincells. Fucking Capra...

Sam probably should think before he speaks, but I kind of like that he doesn't.

I was kind of hoping that Evil!Santa was going to eat the kids too. That would've been kind of fun and a lot more "violent", I think.

Do you not like It's a Wonderful Life?

True.

Exactly. I mean, I was happy with the violence in this episode but I dunno if it's the most violent x-mas ep ever (although nail-pulling is fairly cringe-inducing).

I have a particular disdain for the Capra, yes.
