Ben WhitcombSupernatural: Wishful Thinking
November 7th 2008 05:01
When I saw the teaser for this episode, after last week's episode, I actually thought it was a little silly and wasn't really looking forward to this episode... I should have known better than to think that. With how awesome this season has been, how could I have thought that?
Even though they have never done an episode like this at all, it still had everything we have have come to love in an episode. Especially the humor. Seriously, Teddy Bear Doctors? Who thinks up this stuff. Ben Edlund that's who. He has already written several great episodes of Supernatural as well as been a writer on Firefly and Angel. He wrote what is widely regarded, and in my opinion, the best episode of Angel: Smile Time. I am a huge fan of this guy.
Anyway, I thought that the supernatural stuff the brothers were investigating was interesting enough. Not much really happened though. The story itself was pretty stand alone, with a little bit of the over lying plot of the season thrown in there at the end. What really drew me in to the episode was the great dialogue. This is television writing at it's best.
