If you have not yet seen this episode, please go and do so before proceeding.
Who doesn't love a good, old-fashioned game of Cluedo? Or just a good mystery with monsters and secret passages and creepy kids locked in the attic. It's also always either the butler or the maid.
...and that's pretty much all you need to know about last night's episode of Supernatural. There wasn't a whole lot to it, just a good, old-fashioned freak hunt with plenty of jokes and Sam attracting the eye of several more distinguished ladies. Shame that Sam and Dean didn't actually get any money, though. God only knows that they need some if they want to be able to afford anything other than plaid flannel and the suits that they've been wearing for years now.
Favorite Moments & Random Thoughts:
- Sam brought Dean a 'glazed doughnut' coffee.
- It's so good to see Dean fussing over Baby again. I'm worried about the Mark, but as long as he's doing that we can breath (somewhat) easily.
- "Murphy's law." "Well Murphy was a douche."
- The doorbell on the mansion plays Fur Elise.
- There was SO much shameless Sam objectification in this episode!
- Sam and Dean are murder suspects. Again. Y'know, they're REALLY lucky that detective didn't Google them or search through the database for the name 'Winchester'...
- A lot of the music in this episode was very reminiscent of Sherlock. Or, even more now that I think about it, the recent Sherlock Holmes films with RDJ. Interesting.
- What is it with Sam and attracting rich, older ladies?! "You know they say that women get better with age. Like fine wine. Or cheese." "I'm lactose intolerant." I seem to remember this happening back in Season 3 too...back whenever Dean and Bela had to rob that museum.
- They're hunting a shapeshifter. Nice! My only regret is that we didn't get to see Dean have his mini gross-out over the shed skin again. That used to be practically a tradition with shapeshifter cases.
- "Trust us, there's a method to our madness." Uh-huh...
- Sam awkwardly flirting with those two ladies absolutely cracks me up. We need more scenes like this!
- Dean found it hilarious too.
- "Well...we've got a floater." EWWWW! Drowning in the toilet, what a terrible way to go.
- Dash's reason for locking Sam and Dean up is that they wear flannel. Y'know...there was a lot of Winchester Wardrobe cracks made in this episode.
- Dean's outrage at the 'rich cheapskates' buying 'silver'wear and cubic zirconium absolutely made my day.
- "Don't you know? If it's not the butler, it's the maid."
- My only real complaint about this episode is that the resolution did feel a bit...weak and forced. Too much monologuing and exposition out of nowhere. I'm all for twist endings, but they have to feel logical, writers!
- The shadows on Dean whenever he was shooting the shifter made him look like he had black eyes again. *shudders*
This was on okay episode. It wasn't really one that left me sitting back in my seat to think about for a while, but it wasn't unbearably bad either. Just middle-of-the-road, decently-done, harmless monster hunting. Not bad, over all. The climax/reveal was incredibly contrived and weak, but the rest of the episode was interesting enough to warrant a second watch. Ask Jeeves is a 3/5.
What did you think? Do you agree with my rating? If not - what would you say differently?
