Supernatural 30 Day Challenge

I'm going to put a few of these days together so this is done by the season premiere (3 more sleeps!)

Day 24: Funniest Episode

Day 25: Favourite Season Premiere



Funniest Episode: I think I probably chuckled the most during The French Mistake (though my brain spins when they break the 4th wall). The scene about the lock and the key was probably my favourite. But Gen overacting over Misha's death is also right up there. Total crack up.

I also I squeed mightily at Changing Channels. The moment that Sam became the Impala (aka KITT from Knight Rider) filled me with the utmost GLEE!

Favourite Season Premiere I'd like to say 9.01 but as it hasn't aired yet I'll go with the brilliant In My Time of Dying. Everything about this episode was just so right.

IMToD was a stellar episode, no doubt. But there were some extenuating circumstances that enhanced its wonderfulness.

When the semi slammed into the Impala in the season one finale, it was a cliffhanger for sure. Not only did we have to wait until S2 to find out if anybody lived, and who lived, and who died. It was too much to hope that they all made it out of that, especially when the truck driver's eyes showed black.

But not only that, we had literally, no expectation that show would be back for a second season. With the network changeover and the lack of enthusiasm of network execs for SPN, it was 50/50 at best that we'd ever find out. It was a long and anxious summer before we got a provisional, half-season renewal, and were finally able to find out what happened after that devastating wreck.

For me, at least, the uncertainty heightened the wait and made getting to watch IMToD a unique experience. That Manners and co. knocked it out of the park was just amazing and so, so gratifying.

Just my POV. YPOVMV! Heh.

I didn't know all that. How interesting...I came on board (as in on-line fandom) around the beginning of S2 and I had no idea that it was 50/50 about it being renewed. Wow - *phew* is all I can say.

They really did knock it out of the park. I can only imagine how excited people were to hear it had been renewed AND to get an episode like that... (but only for half a season?!? Man...). I suppose it was special to me because it's when I first started reading reviews and meta and so much great stuff was said about the episode. It's an ep I can easily re-watch.
