A car containing two people breaks down and so they decide to walk through a mysterious orchard to look for help. This is exactly how The Human Centipede starts so I'm a little concerned. I mean it was a pretty good film actually but there's a time and a place for such things and when you've got chicken nuggets in the oven then I'm not really in the mood to watch people crap in each others mouths.
It's okay. They just had their faces ripped off by a scarecrow. I'm not sure what's worse, having your face ripped off or stitched to a strangers arse?..That is a tough one actually.
Sam and Dean's dad calls them up and tells them to stop looking for him and instead sends them off to investigate the annual disappearance of couples near a town in Indiana. On route, Sam decides they should ignore their fathers request and instead meet up with him to help him track down their mother's killer. Dean is as loyal to his fathers wishes as ever and as such the guys seem to have hit a parting of the ways as Dean drives off and leaves Sam to make his own way to California where he believes their dad is.
Whilst walking down the road, Sam briefly meets a fellow traveller, a young woman. After a very short conversation a van pulls up offering her a lift, but the driver refuses Sam's request for a lift. Now if I was that woman I'd find that a little creepy. The driver clearly only wants to pick up young women, which is a little "rapey" if you ask me.
Well I've just learned a valuable lesson. Never cook food at the same time as watching Supernatural! Dean was just learning in really close to the scarecrow to examine it, when the timer on my phone went off and I nearly jumped out of my fucking skin!
After arriving at a bus station, Sam meets up with the young woman again who introduces herself as Meg. She now has a black eye which she explains was after a run in with the creepy driver. You see, she should have listened to me yelling at the TV screen!
I'm loving this episode. There's a proper conspiracy feel about it which is really appealing to me. That being said, I'm staggered by something I've just seen. A camera! I could hardly believe it so had to rewind it several times. I know sometimes reflections of cameras or boom microphones can be caught but this is full on in the shot! As Dean leaves the room you see the other camera getting into position to record him as he walks out the door. Brilliant! In case you don't believe me, then see for yourself in the link below:
The town is sacrificing people up to the scarecrow in order to ensure the overal safety of the town and to make sure they have a good harvest. I would question how desperate these people must be to create the perfect apple pie that they are willing to allow innocent people, including their own family members, to die!
Fortunately Sam returns just in time to save his brother, defeat the scarecrow and everyone lives happily ever after.
A surprising twist comes at the end of the episode when we see Meg yet again being given a lift by a dodgy looking guy. Has she not learned?? Well it would seem that Meg is not all she has cracked up to be, when she slits the guys throat, drains his blood into a goblet and uses it to somehow make a psychic telephone call. I guess it can be deeply frustrating when you can't get service on your mobile but this does seems a little extreme. I think we'll be seeing more of her in the episodes to come which I really like as she will serve as a good overall nemesis for Dean and Sam.
Overall this was a fantastic episode. I'd like to say it was in my top 10 of all episodes but as I've only watched 11 episodes so far then that wouldn't be saying much. I'll say it's in the top 3 then. And now I really want apple pie!
