A while back I got an email from my lovely YT friend saying there was an episode coming up called Changing Channels. My heart skipped a little beat, but I though yeah, it will be about channeling spirits or something. Then I saw the preview and SQUEED LOUDLY when I saw that it was going to be something about the boys living in various TV episodes.
I have just finished watching it and now I am in serious flail mode because HOLY CRAP!
You know, they picked a lots of genres I had.. but really it was Knight Rider that just made me die from being Kripked! (How much do I wish I had had Dean in the driver's seat!!) Sam as KITT is probably my all time favourite thing EVER!
And damn Dean for saying channel surfing and not channel hopping!! (though I was squeeing when I saw he was watching a hospital drama).
You'll just have to excuse me for being in some sort of fangirl nirvana at the moment, but that's the closest I'll ever get to having an idea that the show actually made. (And if you are reading this and have no idea what I'm ranting on about - I mean this).
And aside from all that, the episode was amazing. There were times when I wanted to weep:
"Do you think your mother and father would be still alive if Sam wasn't born?" "Yes". *meep*
But then there was also:
Sam operating on Dean!! (why does that fill me with ridiculous glee!) And stitches with dental floss!!
Dean eye fucking Dr. Sexy. (He so had the hots for that guy!)
SAM AND DEAN ON A TANDEM BIKE!! (Maybe I can make that "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" vid I've been wanting to make!).
That whole opening montage. <3 OMG! That song!!....(someone will vid that won't they?!!)
CSI BOYS!!! *dies* so completely. Adored that section! They looked like they were having a ball!
Dean rummaging around in Sam's trunk. *faints*
Nice rims!! (I know - brain was totally going there tonight!).
So much more but my brain is still in exploded mode.
*hugs* And thanks to those who have said that that episode was a tribute to my vid. I doubt that the writing team or Kripke would have actually seen it but I can still be chuffed that I thought of it first! \o/

::nods:: (<--Decided)
Great ep. I want to watch it again before I type up my thoughts. But I really enjoyed it.

Yeah - it had a lot going on really. I said in another post that it was angst wrapped in candy floss. It had such a huge amount of humour but the undertones were quite dark.... But then it is SPN!!

This is officially you winning the internets. Kripke bows at your feet. ♥

Date: 2009-11-06 04:03 pm (UTC)I did love the episode, I did. It made me smile, but sometimes I wish they wouldn't do these cracky type episodes. It takes something from the overall story arc as far as I'm concerned and that the trickster has been Gabriel all along, feels somewhat forced to me.
And yes, nice rims indeed Sammy:) Lol, the writers are just feeding us lines now.

Date: 2009-11-07 05:05 am (UTC)It had some hilarious moments, but yeah, a lot of it was fan servicing, which gets a bit tiresome after a while.

Date: 2009-11-07 05:08 am (UTC)And yeah - I've been in squee mode for a while. Not least because of all the comments peps have made in their journals and emails I've received. I suppose I need to enjoy it while I can.
I wish there was a way to find out if they had seen it. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have, but it would be awesome if they had. :D
no subject
Date: 2009-11-06 06:47 pm (UTC)But I just had to come and see if you actually WERE a part of this episode. Honestly, I'm sure Kripke got the idea from your vid! Cant wait for the DVD or the companion guide for this episode! I'm positive they are going to mention you!
no subject
Date: 2009-11-07 05:10 am (UTC)Hee! How awesome would it be if they did mention me!! I can't imagine that happening.... I just have to be content knowing I had an idea that they then later had!

Date: 2009-11-06 07:13 pm (UTC)OMG, PLEASE DO! I've always pictured the boys going out like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. BTW, have you read the SPN fic inspired by the movie?
no subject
Date: 2009-11-07 05:19 am (UTC)Yeah - that's the way I kinda see it. Not sure what footage I could use for that...? I've toyed with the idea of using "Raindrops keep falling on my head" - to make a sweetish love story type vid... and now that we have bicycle footage.... who knows...
have you read the SPN fic inspired by the movie?
YES! The one by

And next week...Sam and Dean go to the movies...
Date: 2009-11-06 09:47 pm (UTC)Though honestly...I think you did the concept better ;)
Re: And next week...Sam and Dean go to the movies...
Date: 2009-11-07 05:23 am (UTC)And um... really? They go to the movies next week..?? Actually I haven't seen a preview for next weeks ep yet. Do you have a link by any chance?

Re: And next week...Sam and Dean go to the movies...
Date: 2009-11-07 06:06 am (UTC)Unfortunately no ;) Though that would have been funny.
However, they do go here...

Date: 2009-11-07 08:51 am (UTC)Still.... a fan convention is still pretty sureal...
They are determined to break that forth wall... it makes me a bit squirmy actually. I hope they can make it work...
Thanks so much for the link... I had heard of this episode. Didn't know when it was coming up though.

BUT next week also brings more clips of a certain prophet who I adore. And any episode that provides the potential for crack cannot be a bad thing. Bring it on!

Dean eye fucking Dr. Sexy. (He so had the hots for that guy!)
He really did seem to. I kept thinking maybe this was their way of elbowing JA who, after all, played McDreamy's lover.

See, now I have to plead my innocence here because I never watched Grey's Anatomy.....um.. I assume that's what you are referring to? And what? JA played his lover...? I just.... wow. Really? I so need to check that out if that's the case...

Totally did a shameless rec on SVS!!
Date: 2009-11-07 06:38 am (UTC)Hun I totally thought about you though the whole eppy and would have loved to be there with you when you watched it!! Channel Hopping was my first Ash48 vid experience and was the moment I fell in love with your vids. I can totally believe Kripke and co. saw it and had the same reaction I did!! :D Just an awesome moment in tv land!!
I'd have loved for Dean to say channel hopping, but we do say channel surfing in the USA, so I understand why he said that instead. All in all, I choose to believe this eppy was Kripke and co's tribute to an awesome vidder. If they do a Supernatural at the movies theme eppy, guh *dies from happy thoughts* *hugs*
Re: Totally did a shameless rec on SVS!!
Date: 2009-11-07 09:01 am (UTC)Oh and yes - I wondered if channel hopping was an expression over there. I did die just slightly when he said it. Especially after he was watching TV.
Thanks for popping my hun. I'll check out SVS! :D

I really just took myself out of watching SPN for a moment and enjoyed Jared and Jensen playing it up.. It must have been so much fun for them.xx
