meg_tdjTour Guide: Now to the right, here is Stars Hollow. It's the setting for the television series Gilmore Girls.
Sam: *snaps to attention, looks over*
Tour Guide: And if we're lucky, we might even catch one of the show's stars...
Sam: *nervous, looks around, beckons to Dean* Come on. *jumps off the bus*
Bwahahahahaha!!! It's SO canon, people! Sam Winchester IS Jared Padalecki. He was afraid of getting found out. ;)
Also, I love that the tour guide was talking about Lois and Clark when Dean got off the bus, hahaha! A Smallville reference wouldn't have worked since it's filmed in Vancouver, but that was close enough. ;)
Anyway... this episode was just plain FUN. I love that they didn't sweep the events of Heart under a rug, but they gave us a more light-hearted episode just in time for the angst-o-rama of the rest of the season in the form of Dean giving Sam a pseudo-vacation. Love it! Dean was genuinely worried about him, aww. He looked so miserable for most of the episode, and all he wanted to do was throw himself into a job while all Dean wanted to do was live his Hollywood dream, heehee. Poor Sam... you know, I always think when he's in the trailer watching the dailies that he must have been thinking about the last time he'd sat on a couch watching bad TV with someone. But anyway...
I love love love all the self-mocking in this episode. All the questions the studio guy and actors kept asking, like why can't they have more light and colour, how do the ghosts hear the chanting in Hell, why is a ghost afraid of salt... all things the real execs have asked, heehee! And the actress having trouble acting afraid of the tennis ball, everybody bursting out laughing in the middle of someone giving a huge long shpiel in Latin (I bet that happens all. the. time. LOL), Tara saying the Boogeyman script was terrible (Kripke wrote that movie, hahahahaha!), the Monster Truck poster... oh, and the producer who kept practicing his golf swing? That was a nod to Bob Singer, who apparently does the same thing, heehee! It was all so cute and well done, and apparently when they showed the ep to the SPN execs they were like, "We know you're making fun of us, but we were laughing our butts off." :D
And I love that they had an actor actually playing McG. That was priceless. He was such a ditz, too, I love it... his inspiring speech getting everyone pumped to keep on making the movie, followed up by "But, but not, not today. Go home. Someone'll call ya"... cracks me up EVERY TIME. Makes me wonder if he really does things like that. ;)
Dean is so adorable when he's fanboying. But seriously, Dean, Tara Benchley? And the random tractor-crushed-victim guy? LOL! He's such a B-movie dork.
Sam knew what "Kraft" meant and what a PA was when even Dean didn't. CANON, I TELL YOU.
I so use the "throw in an explainer" line all the time if I come across a plot hole in my writing. ;)
I actually kind of liked Marty. Sure, he was a douche, but he was sweet in his own way, and he pitched in to help at the end. And you can't really blame him for putting it all in the movie. That's what writers DO. ;)
I loved the walking-into-the-sunset thing that turned out to be a matte painting... moved aside to reveal another matte painting that was supposed to be the real thing, hahahaha! Ohhhh, show. I love you. :)
Quotes -
Dean: Sammy, check it out, it's Matt Damon!
Sam: *laughs* Yeah, pretty sure that's not Matt Damon.
Dean: No, it is.
Sam: Well, Matt Damon just picked up a broom and started sweeping.
Dean: Yeah, well, he's probably researching a role or something.
Sam: This seem like swimming pool weather to you, Dean? I mean, it's practically Canadian.
Dean: Like, Poltergeist?
Sam: Could be a poltergeist.
Dean: No, no, no, the movie Poltergeist.
Sam: *blank look*
Dean: You know nothing of your cutural heritage, do you?
Dean: What's a PA?
Sam: I think they're kinda like slaves.
Marty: But Jay, the poor bastard killed himself... for real. Shouldn't we shut it down or something?
Jay: We had a moment of silence for him at breakfast. He was just a studio guy.
Tara: I can't wrap my head around the dialogue, you know? Salt? Doesn't that sound silly? I mean, why would a ghost be afraid of salt?
McG: Okay, um... Marty?
Marty: Yo.
McG: What do you think?
Marty: I'm not married to salt. What do you want? We still sticking with condiments?
Dean: Hey, we gotta go check out Johnny Ramone's grave when we're done here.
Sam: You wanna dig him up, too?
Dean: Bite your tongue, heathen!
Sam: You know, maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie 'cause they think it sucks. 'Cause, I mean, it kinda does.
Marty: *on phone* Alright, well look, get back to me on this, alright? Seriously. No, I'm serious. Dude, are you serious? 'Cause I'm serious!
Marty: I had to cut like 90% of it to make it readable. Another 10% to make it good.
Marty: I cannot believe there's an afterlife.
Dean: Oh, there's an afterlife alright. But mostly it's a pain in the ass.
Sam: *snaps to attention, looks over*
