sam, interrupted

so i saw SAM,INTERRUPTED last saturday and gotta say was thoroughly entertained by it =) based on the trailer and video clips, i was already kinda expecting a take on the cuckoo's nest or something, but it had some really funny and interesting moments.

the faves:

1) when sam and dean were trying to "explain" to the doctor why sam should be institutionalized... LOL!

2) when dean (and then SAM) gets molested =)

3) sam puppy drugged. YES!


interesting point: sam's anger. he displays it upon attacking what he thought to have been the monster of the week. it's like hulk on double shots of steroids and PCP. each. it will obviously be touched on again in future episodes since dean dismissed it after sam brought it up while they were trying to escape the nuthouse.

~~~ two is better than one, now playing =) ~~~

didn't know too much about their guest, john winchester's hunter friend who checked himself into "hotel california" ;)

loved the pop culture references too: one flew over the cuckoo's nest, hotel california, eagles, rain man... i'll try to re-watch to see if i missed any more, but you get it, right? RIGHT?

one disappointment was that they didn't pick up where they left off. i don't know how they (SPN writers, producers) plan the episodes out, but from what i understand and saw from a previous interview, one of the writers/producers said that they follow sweeps. for those not in the know, the U.S. television programming is a lot more complicated than it looks. first off, there's their calendar: summer is from june/july to august (summer hiatus) and new seasons of existing tv shows/new shows start airing in september, then short hiatus maybe between november to december (depending on the network and show, really) and then they continue the series' season from january until april, sometimes may - again depending on how many episodes the show was given.

anyway, before i digress any further, i wish they'd at least brought up what happened the LAST TIME. uh... jo and ellen. died. so the boys can gank lucifer. which they ALMOST did, but turns out, lucifer is invincible to the colt's powers, so there. back to square one. i hope the next episode brings back at least SOME of the main plot. crossing fingers.

all the same, in the end, this was a strong episode =) aren't they running out of ideas already?? you're awesome as usual, SPN team!!! *BLOOP!* (pinches nose) HEH!
