Supernatural 4x04 Metamorphosis

Supernatural 4x04 Metamorphosis


Lorne: Hey. Something troubling you, bubby?
Groo: Indeed. I am confused.
Lorne: About what?
Groo: Angel. His inaction puzzles me. When Connor was taken from him he moved heaven and Tarkna to try and win him back.
Lorne: Yeah, he sure did. Hence our weekly scrubbing of the lobby floor.
Groo: But now that his son is here, he does nothing.
Lorne: Well, sometime nothing is the best something. If a thing is meant to be somethimes it is best to just let it happen rather than try to force it.
Groo: But if a thing is meant to be then how can it be forced?
Lorne: Well, I guess it can't.
Groo: And if a thing is not meant to be?
Lorne: Well, then it really can't. Just because someone hops a dimension or two is no guarantee that things will work out. - Well, aren't you just sneaky with the subtext?


I liked this ep. Mostly. I don't, I can't and I will not accept that Sam and Ruby are sleeping together. I just ... I don't get how that's a thing.

I would've liked for Sam to hit Dean back but I guess we can't always get what we want. However it was nice that things are now known.

This was the ep that myself, [livejournal.com profile] culturegeek76 and [livejournal.com profile] gimlisgloin saw being filmed.

[these things from when we were watching the filming]

When the guy (now known as Jack) was sitting on the bus stop bench, I said that it was because he was waiting for the bus and that he really wanted to go to Dairy Queen and the bus was late and so he was phoning Sam and Dean to ask for a lift.

They spent a good fucking long time getting the scene set up and then shooting the scene of Jack climbing the fire escape to look look in the girl's window.

There was a stunt double who was all harnessed up and had a helmet on, he was hoisted onto a garbage bin and then from there he sorta jumped up to the fire escape and yeah.

For the show I thought they would've photoshopped out the garbage bin ... though I guess you couldn't really see it and I thought they would've showed more uh, stunt action. There was a crane that they had to rent and I know that Russ was kind of irrated about the whole thing because of the cost and I'm sure others were too and for just that to be shown? Bah. I mean, obviously I know that they can't show 'Hey, look we got this guy harnessed and here's the crane that's going to lift him up.' But there could've been something.

I know that they don't film things in sequence but I don't get why they don't or couldn't film Sam and Dean getting out of the car and then running to the girl's apartment together. Jared and Jensen were standing in the street before they started running. The video clip I uploaded of them standing around, that's where they were before they ran. Maybe they were back a couple of feet but that's only a maybe.

When Sam and Dean were running to the apartment I turned to [livejournal.com profile] culturegeek76 and jokingly said, 'Wow, that was really good, I actually believed that they were running.' But on the show? Yeah, not so much. I mean I get and saw that they were but seeing it in person? It WAS actually more believable. For serious.

That's the apartment building and the under appreciated garbage bin. Jared was sitting by the doors of the aparment building talking and/or texting on his cell when he tried to stand up three times before someone helped him up.

It took the girl screaming about 4 or 5 takes (she screamed when Sam and Dean weren't around) and each time it was horrible. I was told that they were going to dub over it and make it better. I'm glad they did.

Yeah ...

But Dean and Cas? Yes?

...I was kinda happy they didn't pull any punches with the cannibalism.

But he has puppy dog eyes just like Sam!

Yeah, but he was a guy being possessed and now he's a dead body being puppeted by an angel. I just ... I can't get into that.

And I don't like incest, but that doesn't mean the show doesn't ask for it.

What?

The incest between Mary and Stan/her dad was wrong and icky. All incest between Sam and Dean is fictionally fiction and I personally only read the kind where it's between two alive consenting boys.

I don't get how incest and sleeping with someone being possessed by a demon is the same.
