Supernatural: 7x06: Slash Fiction

[certainthings]

I have a question or two about last night's episode.

A handful of you have said / pointed out that the diner scene was a homage to the Pulp Fiction diner scene.

I'm going to assume you mean the one with "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of ya!"

And if that is the scene.

How did you make the connection? Because I did not see that at all. Not even a little inkling of a feeling that Pulp Fiction was the answer to "What movie/show are we ripping off right now?"

It's been along while since I've seen Pulp Fiction and I don't remember much.

So, what line or movement or look was it that led you to Pulp Fiction?

ETA: All right. I clearly missed something because the Pulp Fiction vs Slash Fiction gif that was pointed out to me, shows how obvious it was. I'm not sure if I turned my head, left the room or something else because yeah. Clearly missed the slap in the face.

Also, I saw a little bit of an interview where Jensen said that they would sometimes change lines and one of them was a recent thing that they wanted to "man-up"

Was that the scene with Sam walking away in a huff?

And if so, how was THAT "maned-up"?

Ugh, is this episode as bad as the episode title suggests it might be? Because I don't want to watch it if it's just fan service and nothing more. Feel free to spoil me. I want to know what I'm getting in to.

I have seen Pulp Fiction many times and I saw the homage immediately. I also felt that the title could in no way be associated with fandom definition of slash fiction so I wasn't worried about that.

I liked the ep. I've liked the season as a whole so far but that could be due to my pre-occupation with real life badness that has been going on recently. I may not be as tuned in as I used to be.

Also, the dialogue change that everyone keeps referencing was really a line change I think. It was supposed to be Sam saying to Dean "I can't even look at you right now." They balked and changed it to what he said last night. Not a big change, just a little less estrogen-centric.

For me, honestly, it was the moment one - can't recall who - goes, "So, are we ready to do this?" Prior to that, though, it reminded me of the the diner scene in Natural Born Killers. And subsequent massacre was reminiscent of Mickey and Mallory Knox, with the way they fucked with the victims on the video.
