Supernatural : 6x14 : Mannequin 3: The Reckoning

Spoilers for tonight's episode and then a little talk of next week's episode.

OMG. Another episode I liked! This is twice in a row. I'm shocked, I tells you. Just shocked.

Okay, I didn't like anything having to do with Ben and/or Lisa because I do not care about them AT ALL.

And I didn't really care for how quickly Sam was 'just fine' but whatever.

There was Sam and Dean. And there was a case to be solved. And Sam and Dean solved that case ... so it was mostly Sam, but that's okay.

All right, fine. I don't really remember what happened in the ep. I just know that I wasn't left feeling all ragey at the end. I like when that happens.

* * *

Based on pictures I've seen, I'm going to like at least ONE thing about next week's ep. Well, I hope to like at least one thing next week.

Based on the promo? Yeaaaaaaaaah, uhm. No. I didn't like it. :/

Oh! But I would like it if "Jared" and "Jensen" acted like Matthew Gray Gubler did in his Unauthorized Documentary.

What's in the promo for next week? Is it Death? He's the only way I'll turn this shit on again.

No, it's the 'meta' episode where Sam and Dean become "Jared" and "Jensen'.

And uh, the promo showed Sam and Dean being thrown out or crashing through a window and then the roll onto a padded thingy and then it's all, 'We're actors.' 'You're Jensen Ackles and I'm Jared Padalecki' 'So, you're Polish now?'

It just looks really cheesy and I thought they were going to *know* who they were not play Sam and Dean playing Jared and Jensen if that makes sense.

Oh. So it's like they're actually the people and they don't just run into two guys who look like them. And a slew of people who look like everyone they've ever known? Eh. Just like the body swap episode - META ... UR DOIN' IT WRONG.

I'm half-tempted to watch that ep. Just to see how fucking bad it is.

Seems that way or something like that anyway.

I think you should watch the ep. Mmmhmm.

Is the alternate universe episode next week then? 'Cause I've been thinking of watching it just because it'll be lol-worthy.

Yes, it is.

And I'll probably be like this the whole time:

win.

I thought it was going to be the sister doing some ~witchcraft~; didn't see the kidney thing coming.

but, and maybe I zoned out for a moment, I didn't understand why Rose was all, "whelp, guess I'll just go, now. time to die, sis!"

ANYHOODLE, next week will require, I believe some sort of alcohol~

HAH, I AM GONNA WATCH IT. Or try to, at least.

I wish Troy and Abed would make fun of SPN. It would make my LIFE.

I think Rose accidentally killed her sister when the Impala crashed and sent glass flying. It would explain her "I'm sorry" to Isabelle.

Overall I was just happy to see Sam kicking ass and taking names.

Also, please let this be the last of Lisa and Ben.

And - crying Misha? I'm in!

For some reason, this ep made me crave season 1 like crazy. It was just a case and yeah, Lisa and Ben thrown in, but it wasn't so heavy with the world or something. Refreshing. :)

Yes! It was really fantastic in that sort of way. If Lisa and Ben hadn't been there, it would've been damn near perfect.

I was thinking something like that as well.

Rose was the ghost? I guess she figured she couldn't help her sister? Or uhm, she wanted some company on the other side?

I would totally watch that episode. A lot. Well, as long as they made fun of all of it.

I liked the kidney twist. But I am both looking forward (OMG IT MIGHT BE CAR CRASH) and not looking forward (OMG IT MIGHT BE A CAR CRASH) to next week's episode. I think I'll need to have some sort of alcohol handy, just in case.

I kinda liked it, myself, which is shocking. I can't think of much I've liked about this season so far (other than tons of half naked Jared, of which there can never be enough), but this episode felt a little like S1 to me, and I dig that. Also, I haven't been afraid during an episode in FOREVER, but dolls, mannequins, etc...*shudder*. Creepycakes.

Next week. I loathe meta episodes as a rule, and every time they have one, I'm torn between "STOP MAKING FUN OF FANS/STOP SUCKING UP TO FANS" and "OMG THAT WAS THE MOST AWESOME THING I'VE EVER SEEN." I'm actually excited about next week's ep, so hopefully it's very very awesome.

I rather enjoyed the Sn1-ness of last nights ep,
Ben&Lisa? meh.

I'm both terrified and interested for next weeks ep.
I showed Cory one of the promos and he was like "Really? o.0?"

The season one-ness was terrific. And you know what? I didn't really like S1 that much when I first watched the show ... though to be honest, I wasn't paying attention AT ALL and was only staring at Jensen. It took me far to long to learn which one was Sam and which was Dean. *shame*

I think there might be a lot of face-palming next episode.

It's so going to be a car crash. A scary one.

Half naked Jared is really the best. That is what I enjoyed a lot about the episode, was the Season One feel to it.

Yeah. The first time it happened I was thinking, 'Oh, Dear Lord. Stop now ... But uh, thanks for acknowledging that we exist?' But after that I just wanted it to stop. I uh, I mean the other episodes. I don't like them sucking up/making fun. It's cheap.

I was really confused at the flashback crap. I was like, "they really deserve a flashback? Really, show?" But maybe that means that we finally won't have to deal with them again.

But the END, I loved it, Sam all telling them that they're going to get through it and encouraging Dean and it totally brought me back in time, both of them having each other's backs. Now find Dean's necklace, put it back on over some tears and beers, and let's bring back other characters I enjoy, like Missouri. She's still (presumably) alive.

Oh! Hey, that is some good thinking, because yeah. Maybe with flashback montage that means we won't see them again. *hopes hard*

:high fives: MISSOURI is my favourite character! And I'd love to see her again as long as they didn't kill her off.

Heh. Yeah, I'd say that I liked it. Mostly. 98%.

I like all the hunting things, saving people aspect of it as well. I thought that was fantastic.

I think perhaps I enjoy this Sam more but Robo!Sam was pretty frickin' hot.

Both of their faaaaaaaaaaaaaces are pretty uh, stupid and awkward at times. They should really stop that.

I realize I have to rewatch the episode for full effect since I wasn't at 100% last night when I watched it. But I think I really liked it. Of course, I am in the Lisa and Ben camp. I really like Lisa.

I'm looking forward to next week. I've liked all of the meta episodes so far. (except Hollywood Babylon which I didn't consider meta but some people did)

Also, I would love to see Missouri too. She is awsometastic!

It was enjoyable in a S1 sort of way.

Missouri was the bestest.

I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. I thought it was fucking boring idek. The mannequins were kinda scary though. :|

I also kind of already hate next weeks episode. Argh.

I've seen quite a few "this ep was boring" posts and tweets and such and I honestly don't get it. I mean, minus the Ben and Lisa shit it was very season one-ish and I loved that a lot.

YEEEE. We can hate it together, k?

It was pretty S1-ish but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention to enjoy it? Idk.

YESSSSSSS. :D
