Teddy Bear Suicide


Whilst thinking ahead to watching Supernatural tonight (ITV2, 9pm each Sunday if you're in the UK) I suddenly remembered I meant to find and post a clip from last week's episode "Wishful Thinking"; one of the show's more entertaining and tangential instalments.

Supernatural tends to be really, really enjoyable when they lighten up a bit or go oddball once in a while, and this was no exception - in a town where a Babylonian coin in a wishing well causes all kinds of weirdness and gradually runs out of control and things turn serious.
The funniest, and weirdest bit, had to be the child's teddy bear - wished to life by a small girl - and driven to despair (and alcohol and porn) by the grim realities of life; eventually blowing his own brains - well, feathers and polystyrene - all over the bedroom walls with the help of a shotgun.

Really weird.

Honestly. REALLY weird.

LOL. WTF?

That is really weird, but only the natural course of things I suppose. ;P
Supernatural has really big potential for a comedy series at times, just because of the weird stuff that happens in their world all the time basically everything goes and the writers could do whatever they want with it. I wished they'd do the hilarious parts more often.

It was back in the main apocalypse / demons story arc last night - but the fun / oddball stories - like the 'Groundhog Day' episode and the one with the rabbit's foot for instance tend to work really well and bring out the best in both writers and actors....
