SpN, I mean the ep known as Wishful Thinking

Am I weird that I didn't think the teddy bear was all that funny? I mean, it was at first but then it just got...creepy, and awful, and I was horrified when it tried to blow it's brains out and couldn't. I didn't laugh at that point. And that horrible love match, and the little girl's parents LEFT HER. *ALONE*.

I think I over thought that epsiode.

HOW CAN YOU SAY SPOILERY, SORT OF WITH NO EXPLANATION?!!!!

*not reading not reading not reading*

Dean? Does not approve.

I agree with you. I thought the episode was very dark despite its attempt not to be. The teddy bear was so depressed....Made me depressed. LOL.

It was very dark. I think what I enjoyed about it was Sam and Dean's reactions to everything that was going on. I laughed through most of the episode, but not because of what was going on, but because of the looks on their faces. The boys looking clueless and totally out of their element made me grin.

The teddy was totally disturbing. The parents in Bali...the wishing well could have made them forget about the girl. For all we know, it zapped them to Bali without any sort of warning.

The love match...well, it was kind of what I expected. If you wished for someone to love you like that, it's what would happen if it was a bad wishing well. I figured the girl would go after the guy, but it made sense that she'd go after Sam instead. I'm just surprised she didn't go after Dean too.

Then Dean at the end. *sniffles* DEAAAAANNN!!!!!

I agree with you. It was a very, very dark comedy.
I thought the teddy bear was funny initially, then it was fantastically absurd. I "got" the humor, but it wasn't a laugh-out-loud kind of humor.

I also couldn't snap back between hearing Sam talk about how everyone should be miserable because "that's life" and the humor. I actually like that Supernatural is trying to make its humor more complicated, though. It doesn't always work for me, but I like that they push things and experiment.

On the other hand, i do agree with the other commenters who have said that the "love relationship" was really sickening and didn't get the attention it deserved. It was really all about Ted Raimi and how it wasn't working for him, not at all about the woman. :/

In happier news, I just posted a Crusoe picspam of very pretty boys in my journal. Enjoy and jooooin me in Crusoe! *waves hands magically*

I actually thought that in a certain way the Teddy Bear's existential crisis was a pretty profound statement of the human condition. What if God turned out to be an 8-year-old girl who only created us for tea parties? I might attempt suicide, too. To me the funny part of the suicide was the stuffing--and that was more the visual element.

The girl's parents didn't intentionally leave her alone, you know. It's not like they knew they'd actually end up in Bali by wishing to be in Bali. I actually thought she was coping pretty well for an 8-year-old on her own, though I wish Sam and Dean had actually escorted her to her neighbor's house rather than leaving her alone.

And the "love match" was basically extended date rape, even if he didn't intend it that way initially, so I definitely didn't find that part amusing!

The bear trying to die and not being able to *was* creepy. Very creepy.

The little girl seemed okay, actually - i imagine the parents, being whisked off to Bali without clothes or money were less than okay.

The 'love match' was icky.
*shudders*

Overall, this episode did make me sad. On a personal note, I am so glad I waited until Lin went to sleep to watch it -- thank God for taping!

I wonder when Dean actually remembered Hell? Or did he always recall everything? Maybe it came back gradually, but I hope they expand upon it a little. I knew from the first shot of them sitting in that horrible theme restaurant, Dean drinking like a fish, that nothing good would come of this episode. Sad, sad, sad, and very unsettling. Glad I wasn't the only one. . .

For being billed as being funny in the trailer, I thought this episode was rather dark and creepy. The teddy bear just got progressively more and more disturbing. I think they were going for it. A sort of literal "be careful what you wish for... It's not even funny when we show you it onscreen." But I could be wrong, and the episode just fell flat when it should have been funny. IDK.

I'm with you. The teddy freaked me right out. I kept thinking 'Is this supposed to be amusing? Because if it is, it fails on every level.'

*shudder* NOT amused.

I think the only teddy bear scene that was supposed to be funny was the first one. You're not the only one who thought him shooting his stuffing out was creepy.

It's not the first time SPN turns something funny at first appearance into something very dark...

It wasn't funny.

I thought the bear was hysterical...

*shrug*

Different strokes, I guess...
