Supernatural 3x08

For me, this episode was made by two scenes: the Bing Crosby and "it's my last year" scene and the last one... Aww... I was hard pressed not to cry and in the end, I actually did.

Jared did an amazing job in this ep. First the whole "I can't do it" speech and then the too loud, too bright voice in the last scene. It felt like he had to laugh loud and talk loud or cry otherwise...

And Jensen. Aww... The scenes where he tried to oh so subtly push Sam to have a Christmas with him were heartbreaking. He's such an amazing actor!

"Easter Bunny is Jewish!" :D I bet that there will be a lot of people bashing Dean for being xenophobic *rolls eyes*

And the necklace! The amulet is from Sam! And Dean's been wearing it all the years!

I was glad that they could keep the actor who played young!Dean - yay for continuity :D

Amazing, gory, touching ep!

ETA: RATINGS! Fast nationals:
Supernatural: 3.20 mil. viewers! Yay! *dances merrily*
Smallville: 3.84 mil. Huh, and that was a new episode too O.o

Hehe, for me, SPN is the alpha and omega of all my shows. Psych, Chuck and Blood Ties are tied on the second place, I think. And then there is NCIS, Bones and Numb3rs of course :D

Hmm.

If I really had to pick I'd say that my favorite show on tv at the moment would be Wire In The Blood. And the greatest show ever to be shown on tv would be Nero Wolfe.

Dude, I can't even order the other one's I just kinda love them all, y'know?

Also with NCIS, everytime I see the dvd covers I think the older gentlemen looks a helluva lot like an older John Barrowman.

I tried Wire in the Blood but I just couldn't get into it. I watched the first two eps with the crazy guy who dressed as a woman and killed men... Too psycho :D

I usually don't watch TV shows for the plot but for the characters. And I just adore the brotherly schmoop in this one :D

Dude, watch Nero Wolfe. The characters, the whole damn show is sheer perfection.

Heh, I like psycho dudes though! And Tony and Carol and even Alex now. *happy sigh*

And which Nero Wolfe - the one from 2001 or 1981?

Shhhhhh! The 1981 doesn't exist! I don't know what you're talking about!

Heh. The 2001 one with Timothy Hutton. *hearts* *writes mrs. nero wolfe in the margins of her notebook*

The 1981 doesn't exist! I don't know what you're talking about!

How so?

In the one from 1981 there is Lee Horsley playing the part of Tim Hutton. Oh my, how I loved Lee Horsley in "Matt Houston" *drools*

It was *bad*. Bad casting and they weren't exactly faithful to the books. Of course not to say the actors were bad it's just they were wrong for the parts and they tried to soften Wolfe's attitude and just *yuck*.

Lets put it this way, the people (Timothy Hutton was involved hugely bringing this to the screen) involved in the 2001 version loved and stayed faithful to the books like Peter Jackson loved Lord of the Rings.

And let me tell you I am a giant LOTR fan. So that is a *huge* complimant from me. So you can watch the '81 one if you want but trust me when I say that the characters of Nero and Archie and everyone aren't there. It's Maury and Timothy who do them to perfection.
