SPN Ep Rxn 6.6: Truth Serum. Just Do It.

[rokhal]

OMG, this was a weird episode. If a normal ep is a sandwich with the case as the bread and the character development as the meat and cheese, this ep was a low-carb lettuce wrap made from an entire package of sliced turkey. Character development is ALL IT'S HERE FOR.
Has something like this ever been done on TV before? Serial novels? Comic books

SPN is unique in having such a rabid fanbase that it can increase watchability by abruptly changing the characterization of one of the heroes

That's one way of putting it.

Also, as Dean? As in, the shirts, the jeans, the leather jacket? *tries to imagine*

I love the way you wrote out the interview-scene. I've almost forgotten how normal!Sam would react in such a situation. And forget the reptilian stare, the utter delight in which he looked at Dean after getting the truth was much more unsettling.

Paul snaps, strangles the man, and excavates his sublingual arteries with the drill, which has got to be the least efficient way to exsanguinate a guy ever devised onscreen

OMG, mos def.

"It would be beyond awesome if in the inevitable monsters-attack-the-Braedens-and-Dean-saves-the-day reunion, Lisa gets to rescue Dean a little. It really would.

And if this is not on on-screen, it has to be written by someone. *nods firmly*

Aren't we a little early in the season to break Dean again?

It is NEVER TOO EARLY TO BREAK DEAN. Like The Bird and The Bee Song: Again and Again.

At least now Dean has a job - fix Sam, against Sam's will. It'll keep him busy.

I don't think he ever really stopped. *shakes head*

Say, may I friend you? I couldn't think of an easier way to keep up with your hilarious recaps. They always makes me smile.

Yay!

Glad you liked the review! I post my recaps on spn-heavymeta, with a ton of other people doing the same thing.
