Slumber Party
Okay, I’m going to admit, I went
into this episode a little bias because I cannot stand The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I, personally, think the movie/books/whatever is utterly boring and stupid.
Now, that’s not to say you can’t
like/love it, but I don’t. In fact, I dislike The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so much, that I have never even made it
through the whole movie (this was when I was pretty young, as well, so it’s not
like it was a matter of “oh, if you were a kid you would like it.”) I did, however,
one Halloween dress up as Dorothy only
because I wanted to wear red, sparkly shoes and that was the only reason (not because
I liked it). Anyways, keep that in mind while reading this because, yes, this
review will be completely bias. I just can’t help it; after all, it is a review of what I thought of the episode.
Now I was already expecting to
dislike this episode because of The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz aspect of
the storyline, but it was made so much worse when they started out in black and
white. We’ve had past scenes before in color, why couldn’t these ones? It
annoyed me even more than I already was.
*Quick side note, I didn’t actually
watch this episode when it aired because I was not excited to watch the episode at all. I forced myself to watch it begrudgingly Wednesday night.
Not to be a downer to anyone who
has seen Games of Thrones (I
personally have not) but I thought the whole scene was unnecessary. I don’t
know why, but I was just wishing for that scene to end. I guess it’s just
because I thought it was very slow in
the beginning of this episode. Don’t kill me for saying that either, please, it’s
my own personal opinion and you are allowed to disagree.
I got quite a lot of amusement out
of Sam and Crowley’s interactions together. I love how Sam gave him a crayon to
write with instead of a pencil, pen, color pencil, or even a marker. Also when Sam
is locking Crowley back up is funny; how he does it so fast and doesn’t speak a
word to the demon. I got a little chuckle out of Sam saying, “Do you see anyone
else here?” I mean, if only he knew. ;)
I laughed even harder when Becky was mentioned. I loved Sam’s reaction
to that (plus let’s not forget Charlie’s call out to fanfiction and Edlund).
I thought it was really funny when
the Winchester brothers asked Crowley what the witch said and he hissed. I literally
rewound just to see it again. Speaking of the witch, I thought the woman who
played her did a really good job. I think her parts were my favorite out of all
them, surprisingly (though even hers were torture to my brain). So, tell me.
Why in the hell does a binding spell cause you to turn into a liquid? It makes
no sense at all and I was really annoyed by this aspect. Another thing I was very annoyed by was the fact that the
witch could travel in a smoke form. I have no idea if that was how it was like
in the movie/books but I couldn’t help thinking, “Are they going to make everything look like demon smoke now?” I
mean come on! First demon smoke (fine) then angel grace (what the hell happened
to just the blinding light?) and now the wicked witch (what the hell show!)?
I like Charlie, it was nice to see
her again. I found amusement in her comment that she wished hunting was “more
magical”, but the things I found annoying was, first, how did Dorothy know she
died? She wasn’t even in the freaking room! Second, why in the hell did Charlie
remember Heaven? You’re not supposed to remember! I don’t care if there are
angels up there or not, you don’t remember it gosh darn it! Along with those,
wouldn’t you think Charlie (and the bros) would need to turn the key again in
order for the door to not open up to
Oz? Isn’t that how it normally is with these types of things? I got so, so, so
very annoyed with Charlie going to Oz in the end. In fact I loathed it;
absolutely hated it (but that stems from my bias dislike of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz).
Zeke comes when called now which I
guess is a little (a lot) awesome. He’s also full of ultimatums, having
Dean choose between one thing and another again. Speaking of which, as a side
note, I liked how they didn’t just forget about Castiel in the beginning and actually
mentioned him and talked for a little while about him (unlike previous
seasons). Dean’s got to be a little more careful or else the secret is going to
come out. If I was Sam, I would have questioned the Zeke thing a little more
(after the hunt though).
Overall, for me the whole episode was stupid and boring as all hell. But I’m bias about it and I know many people did like the episode. If it wasn’t associated with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, I probably would have liked it a lot more.
