It's not been all bad though. My friend Sarah came over for some board games and later on a trip to the pub for food. Overall it was a very good day. She even brought her little dog with her and it made me think how cool it would be to have a little dog of my own. Someone who can keep me company and watch telly with. I'm not really sure what I'm talking about because I'm very tired and have started drinking again. Anyway time for another episode of Supernatural. Today I'm finishing off the second disc! Exciting!
A very unusual start as we see a flashback to 1938 and a man being tormented by the sound of barking dogs. Is the Universe trying to tell me that getting my own dog is a bad idea? Also I'm hoping that this whole episode will be set in 1938 and we'll be watching Dean and Sam's ancestors (played by the same actors) trying to solve the case. I've already made up that story in my head and so I will be disappointed if that does not come to pass!
I can't remember if I've mentioned this in a previous blog entry but I find it curious that Sam is still wearing a cast on his arm. I'm trying to remember if something happened in a previous episode to cause that because he has been wearing it for several episodes now. Either that or something happened to Jared in real life. But if that was the case then you would think they would come up for an explanation for it in the show. I'm rambling again aren't I?
Okay I'm five minutes in to the episode and I think I've worked it all out already. Another man (in the present day now) has killed himself after being chased by a "black dog". After speaking to someone who knew him Sam and Dean discover that the man had been a failure most of his life until suddenly becoming a genius. My guess is that he made some kind of deal to improve his life and then the black dog comes to collect on that deal. That would also fit in with the case from 1938 as the man that was killed then was shown to be very gifted with the guitar so maybe he had also made a similar deal.
Case closed! I'm getting good at this!
After visiting a local animal protection agency Dean reports back about his success at his flirting with the receptionist. Included in all the paperwork that she gives him is a post stick note with her MySpace address on it. Unbelievable! Who uses MySpace anymore?? I keep forgetting how old some of these early episodes are now.
I'm a little confused as to how Dean got his car back. I'm sure in the last episode it was locked up in the police station somewhere and they were on the run so did they break in to retrieve it? He must really love his car to take a risk like that!
Dean and Sam find out that the last person to make a deal with this particular demon was a guy called Evan. We see Evan working in his office. His wife is going away on a trip and Evan clearly knows he may be dead by the time she comes back. As she turns round to tell him she loves him he sees her face transform in the most freakishly way possible. He is starting to see things like the others did. When her face changed like that I found it to be genuinely terrifying. That's the first time this series has done that to me. Well done on that whoever made this episode!
Dean summons the demon and traps her. He forces her to let Evan go whilst she tries to tempt him into giving up his own life in order to bring his father back. Dean doesn't enter in to the deal and before the demon disappears (looking like the smoke monster from Lost) she reveals that their father is in hell. That's not a pleasant thought! Since the girl from The Exorcist was in the last episode it reminds me of that moment when she tells one of the priests "your mother sucks cocks in hell!" or in the PG version of The Exorcist "Your mother knits socks in Hull!"
At the end of the episode there was a trailer for the upcoming episodes. The trailer ends with Dean telling Sam about how their Dad told him something before he died. He doesn't reveal what it was but he does say that it something about Sam. So Sam is the gay one then?
What a twist!
