    So now the Impalas are on their way 'home'.

     

    What I want to know is which Impala is the one with the door locks that drove me insane in "Yellow Fever" ??

    These:

    It seemed like every other scene they'd change from that to the normal chrome "head" door locks:

    The slim door locks Impala doesn't actually show up much, or at least is not nearly as noticeable in other episodes (to me) as this one.  It's worth noting that whichever it is, it's also the one they used in Jensen's music video for "Eye of the Tiger" at the end of "Yellow Fever."

    I just realized that the waitress Doris from "Mystery Spot" is the same actress (Denalda Williams) that appears in the X-Files episode "Syzygy" (two high school girls share the same birthday) as the astrologist.  And I came to this realization not while watching either episode, but standing in my kitchen making tea, thinking about the live stream silent film I've signed up to watch tonight, which led to me thinking of the silent film that plays on every TV channel in "Syzygy".

    S03.E13: Ghostfacers

    in Supernatural

    This isn't an episode I usually choose to watch, only coming up if I do an entire season rewatch.  But did rewatch it last week, and despite my thought that I didn't like it, I found it was fairly enjoyable this time around.  It also made me sit up when the ghost came on, because I finally recognized the face!  And you can see when he confronts Sam that the actor is quite a bit taller than Jared (I looked him up, says he's 6'9")

    Spoiler

    The same actor plays The Golem in S8 "Everybody Hates Hitler"

    I know it's mentioned a few places on the forums, but I must've missed every single one.  Anyways, it was a shock for me this time around.

    So what happened to Corbett's body?  Did they leave him in the house?  Or did they try to explain to sceptical cops that he was killed by a ghost?

    I did some digging around trying to find the old Ghostfacers website (which seems defunct), and found this blog which I think is/was official?  Basically it implies that the cops were called and Corbett taken to the morgue (along with the other corpses I presume), and they did have a "hunter's funeral" for him but without a body.  It also includes mention that Ed and Harry were later arrested for Corbett's murder (and blamed the Winchesters for destroying the only camera footage that could exonerate them), but subsequently released due to DNA contamination.

    though as someone else wondered- I swear on this board but maybe not- if all those people were killed by Daggett why aren't there more bodies at the table?

    Sam did say that the other bodies were never found. But it could be because Dagget is a ghost now and can't leave the house, the new "arrivals" to his party can't be preserved - either through Dagget's taxidermy or morgue means, since he can't get supplies - so the ghost eventually disposes of them somewhere else? And that's why he keeps needing to get new party-goers, because only those original three were preserved.

    Basically agreeing with @AwesomO4000 here.  I think the three we saw were the three corpses he stole from the morgue and preserved.  Once he became a ghost, he'd kill new victims and add them to the table, then disappear for four years.  When he returned, I'd imagine those same bodies were decomposed down to little more than skeletons.  I like to think as part of his "birthday preparations" every four years he cleaned up the skeletons and tossed them into another room, leaving the table once again ready for more visitors.

    I find it interesting that the only death echoes we saw were of those original three corpses.  Other than Corbett, none of his other victims showed up.

    And how did I not know there was a short web series with the Ghostfacers?  Ten episodes, each 3-ish minutes long, you can find it on YouTube but I found the Vimeo video was much better quality.

    If like me you'd never heard of it and are curious.  I was surprised I enjoyed them quite a bit.  It takes place shortly after the Ghostfacers episode and is done very much in the same style.  So if you didn't like the episode, you probably won't like it either. 

    These are also included in the extras of the Season 5 box set.

    S03.E14: Long Distance Call

    in Supernatural

    On 8/31/2014 at 10:19 AM, DittyDotDot said:

    The concept of a monster using our over-connected lives to find and kill is interesting and it holds up fairly well considering how much more we've become technologically connected. I wish I understood how the monster fed on some of those people though, since he wasn't in their presence when they killed themselves.

    I rewatched this episode recently for a story I was working on that involved a crocotta.  As I got to the part where one character is explaining about the monster to another, I hit this same inconsistency: how could the crocotta feed on souls if he wasn't in the room with them when they died?  (I also don't know how I didn't think about it when watching the episode previously, many many times)

    I came up with three options:

    1) the crocotta was making the calls on a cell phone, standing outside while watching the person kill themselves, then entered and ate the soul (this was the option I decided to go with, although I also chose not to bother explaining that part in my story)

    2) the crocotta is able to "mark" the soul just by talking to them, so if that person should die/take their own life, the soul will find the crocotta no matter where it is (meaning a reaper wouldn't be able to find the soul to take it anywhere)

    3) the crocotta is somehow able to make the corpse hold on to the soul after death, and then it just goes to the morgue to eat it

    As for the rest of the story, I always forget how close to the end for Dean this episode is.  rue721 and catrox14 said everything far better than I could.

    S05.E10: Abandon All Hope

    in Supernatural

    I have to say this episode has my favorite bit of demon lore in the entire show.  The opening scene showed me that a "crossroads deal" didn't have to be a dirt/gravel intersection out in the boonies, but it can also be below a freeway interchange in the middle of a city.  I still remember the first time I saw that, it was an "OMG why didn't I ever think of that" moment.

    Ruth Connell who plays Rowena,  is Scottish, like from Scotland. She has a Scottish accent and she chose to amp it up a bit for the role.

    Funny this came up (sort of) now.  I'm a fan of non-US detective shows and loved watching Shetland, but had a hard time understanding what some of the characters were saying.  After I binged a bunch of Supernatural featuring Rowena, I went back to Shetland and realized I understood them all perfectly.

    Demon!Dean.....nothing can kill it :).  He can only be de-demon'd.

     

    Wouldn't Cain have been able to kill Demon!Dean with the first blade?  Dean was able to kill him, and if I'm not mistaken Cain was a demon?

    But since it didn't actually happen, sure why not :)

     

    I'll go with:

    Ghosts, salt and burn the corpse*

    *unless corpse has already been salted and burned, in which case look for an object they are attached to**

    ** unless object is a donor organ, impaling the person seems to work in that case

    X-File marathon on BBCAmerica today and just hit “Fire” with a VERY young Mark Sheppard playing the monster-of-the-week. He was awesome 25 years ago, and he’s awesome today.

    I loved him in this!

    Another random CSI episode last night, this time from Season 6: "Room Service".  I always forget which one this is until they start in with "Mad World" at the beginning of the episode.  But who should appear as Famous Actor Groupie but Jo!  I actually always call her "Meg" since I remember her from "Veronica Mars" first, and I have to correct myself.  "That's Meg from Supernatural!  Wait I mean Jo, that was a different Meg".

    I also like Catherine's line from this episode: "What other Laotians are having a bad night?"

    I had an hour to kill today before I had to work, and decided to put on a CSI episode.  Pretty much at random I picked season 7 and an episode called "Fannysmackin'" which I couldn't remember what it was about (was going to watch the one after it, but once I saw some nuns walking into a church I had a feeling that I didn't like that episode and went one prior).  Halfway through it who should show up but Bobby!  Greg manages to intervene in him getting beaten up by a pack of people. 

    The episode originally aired in Oct 2006, which is the same timeframe as beginning of Supernatural's S2.  In fact this episode aired the same night as "Bloodlust".

    I know I've seen other random folks in random CSI episodes here and there, but I tell ya coincidence is a funny thing :)

    Did the same thing last night, put on another S7 CSI episode at random, "Post Mortem" (ep7).  Not only did Bobby show up AGAIN (was partially a follow-up to the previous one I watched) but also GARTH!  Then I had to watch the episode "Sweet Jane" from the same season, just because I really like it and the song has been stuck in my head all morning.

    So in World of Warcraft this week they're doing the Noblegarden event, which is inspired by Easter.  The main objective is to run around certain towns and pick up brightly colored eggs and open them for fabulous prizes (usually chocolate).  However, one of the things you can get is this:

    Capture.JPG.415bdcdc76cf9448a3d169d12209a3ed.JPG

    It is a new item this year, and having it on your person causes you to occasionally lay very large eggs.  Some people think it's a reference to "Bad Day At Black Rock".  It may not be, but wouldn't be surprised if it was.  I think only the Simpsons outranks them for using pop culture references!

    Ah sorry, ran out of ones I could remember quick and felt like digging through episode summaries to jog my memory wasn't really in the spirit of the game!  I will see if something occurs to me by tomorrow morning, either a response or a new topic (you put me on the spot!)
