Wishing You Were Supernatural
Last week’s episode of Supernatural, “Wishful Thinking” was just OK for me. Not enough Dean, for one thing. When I first saw the trailers, I thought it was gonna be like Pleasantville or something like that anyway. But it wasn’t. Once again, for some reason, I missed out on any good Dean lines. I usually either write them down when he says something awesome, or I just remember them. But not this time. Which is sad, cause I’m sure he said some things worth remembering.
In any case, the story of the ep was that wishes were coming true in this small town. It sounds great, but it’s not, since people can wish for lots of things that might not be good for the general public. Like, there’s the kid who wants to be invisible so he can hang around in the ladies locker room. One woman thinks he’s a ghost. There’s a little boy who is always picked on by bullies who wishes to be very strong. He now has the bullies on the run. There’s the little girl who wants her teddy bear to be alive, but it turns into a huge depressive alcoholic monster.
The teddy bear was kinda fun:
The wish that has started all of this, however, was a lonely, geeky guy who falls in love with a beautiful woman who doesn’t even know who he is. He wants her to love him, and she does. But he finds out that its not all it should be, since she does nothing else but be in love with him. She doesn’t seem to care about anything else.
Well, the boys have to track down the first wish, which they do, because only the first wisher can undo the spell that has been laid on the wishing well with the ancient coin he used to make his wish. At first, he doesn’t want to change it, because he does want her to love him, but then when he sees how destructive her obsessive love is, he changes his mind. It was kinda sad to see her not even know who he was after the wishes were undone, though.
Anyway, I’ll try to keep better track of Dean during tonight’s ep.
