Exactly. To not understand that seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the show. These boys lost mother, father, friends all along the way. They're not gonna spend episodes crying over Bobby even though we the audience miss him terribly.
@@rinah75 I may be wrong but I don't think what Jer is looking for is more scenes of them discussing their emotions or crying and being angry. I think he means directorial decisions that add weight to such a huge character loss. Like when he spoke about the flask, more scenes of the show emphasising its importance would just add to the emotional weight for the audience. Or with this episode, linking the monster of the week to Bobby's emotional trajectory. I personally think it's the idea of Bobby dying that is more sad than the execution from the writers
I’m usually not someone who enjoys monster of the week episodes a lot (especially when they don’t progress the story at all) but somehow I’ve always really enjoyed this episode. Probably because I really really like Garth as a character and I do tend to enjoy monster of the week stuff more when it involves recurring characters.
Mr. Fizzles has a special place in DJ's night stand drawer. Confirmed at multiple cons. And..woohoo..another new monster. I love new lore. That round bottle Dean was working on..Slivovitz, 80-100 proof plum brandy that burns like fire..should be called plum moonshine
I did as well. Especially, knowing how Sam and Dean show/don't show their emotions. It all tracks for me. Especially when you pay attention to those little details on their behavior. Example: Sam squeezing his hand during "that" episode.
I like what they did with Bobby being a ghost . This episode is a bit of everything funny with mr. Fizzles and emotional with the end moment with Bobby
Great reaction as always Jer. I hate to be that guy but the lore website that was pulled up spelled Orangutan correctly. There is no G. And it’s pronounced without the G. Orang-u-tan.
Something I’d like to say about season 7 is that when I first watched it, I absolutely hated it, and I believe that’s because I had no clue what to expect and didn’t know where the story was going and I just wanted it to progress somehow.. but once I had finished the series, I can say now that season 7 has become more enjoyable for me to rewatch because I already know what’s going to happen, so I can focus more on little things I missed about each episode that are funny or endearing or just flat out entertaining.. does that make sense? When you don’t have to worry about “what’s going to happen next??” you can just sit back and enjoy the episodes without worrying. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I know you’re not enjoying this season now, but I think you might enjoy it more if you rewatch it some time later on once you’ve finished the series. Season 8, in my opinion, is a little bit better than 7, and season 9 is a little bit better than 8 and a lot better than 7.. so the show slowly but surely gets back to being good again, they just had trouble finding their footing again once Kripke was out of the picture.. some writers are way better than others, etc.. don’t give up hope brother bear! ☺️🙌🏼
Garth is larping as a soldier from Fort Riley - home of the Big Red 1, in Junction City, KS (there is a sign on the morgue wall that denotes Junction City). I'm an Army wife, Hubby was stationed at Fort Riley, and we were living off post in Junction City at the time this episode aired, March 30, 2012 - this was the first episode I saw. Serendipity. Hubby had already been watching the show, but I was too involved with Political chat rooms to pay any attention to what he was watching on TV. Something about this episode caught my attention, then I saw the morgue sign saying Junction City We proceeded to download Seasons 1-6, and I binge-watched* them, over and over again, watching nothing but SPN for a year - I was obsessed. 6 seasons took about 7 days; having insomnia, no job or children and the Hubby being on a 1yr tour in Korea (We had PCSd [Permanent Change of Station] from Fort Riley to JBLM [Joint Base Lewis McChord - WA] in *Aug 2012) made it easy to do.
Only thing that bugged me was Sam being hardheaded and in denial over Bobby. He refused to believe that he was wrong even when Garth pointed out sone clear evidence. He was on a roll suspecting that the flask is what binds Bobby’s soul do when Sam did the summoning it didn’t work because he did it without Dean and he was the one with the flask. But Sam is to proud to admit he might be wrong
When people stop enjoying a show they should probably stop watching. Especially when the reason they don't like it is because it's not being written the way they want it. It's not enjoyable to watch a reactor hate a show you love.
True, but some maybe still wanting to see what’s to come. So I’m not seeing reactors I like as influencers, but friends giving reactions to the things I like, since I cant get my real life friends to watch supernatural.
Yeah, why start watching the show with 327 episodes that is built on a "monster of the week" and "tales and legends" foundation, if you hate "monster of the week" episodes just because they "dont' progress the story"? What story? Sam and Dean are changing and evolving in every episode, that's the story. "Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie" was great. So adorable and funny, and unusual. Told us some things about Sam and Dean's childhood and let Dean to be a kid again for a minute. "Repo Man" was like a mini-horror movie with a twist. The actor who played Jeffrey did a great job, transforming from a nice vulnerable guy with a heart of gold to a psychopath. "Out with the Old" - the banter between the Leviathan boss and her employee was hilarious. Cursed objects and their scenes were filmed very well, and again, a good twist at the end.
