I too have always hated/feared clowns, so I completely understood poor Sammy.<br /><br />Great review-- LOVE that you pointed out the unicorn thing. I do remember Dean saying that. Love the full circle thing, always.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534552292410355497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-67887019205811632752012-02-11T20:19:08.569-08:002012-02-11T20:19:08.569-08:00Clowns have been known to frighten Sam at an early...Clowns have been known to frighten Sam at an early age. Dean by leaving him at a Plucky's those years ago could have just used Sams fear to tease him. Just as he has in past episodes with the Ronald McDonald commercials and forcing him to sit in the clown chair.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-79248046685606169242012-02-11T20:04:27.042-08:002012-02-11T20:04:27.042-08:00Not only did the clown meet the asphalt but I'...Not only did the clown meet the asphalt but I'm pretty sure he was torn in half as well. Sam may have gotten over his fear (somewhat) but does that mean he likes em now? Not in the slightest.<br /><br />As for the episode itself it was a hoot. As I said last week Loflin and Dabb re the only ones who seem to write decent episodes they know how to write the characters and balance the scares with the laughs although I do think the jokes were a lil too heavy this week and the clowns more playful than frightening. Other than that it was enjoyable.<br /><br />Plus was I the only one who thought Plucky's was more nightmarish than it needed to be? As a kid I would have hated to have been there all the freakish clowns decorating the place. Shivers down the spine.<br /><br />Plus the great mind of Ben Edlund wrote the sure to be a classic episode for next friday. I'm so excited. <br /><br />To conclude my rant, Jen, wonderful recap as always I never laughed as uch at your other reviews the way I have here. Great job! Also did you notice Lucifer's voice in the teaser for next week. You think Sam's gonna go nanners at last?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-82191981937055486262012-02-11T12:11:20.068-08:002012-02-11T12:11:20.068-08:00I'm really curious about exactly what went dow...I'm really curious about exactly what went down at Plucky's to give Sam such a phobia too. And how young are we talking when Dean ditched him there to go trolling for chicks? I mean, say Dean's 14-16, that pegs Sam at 10-12...I feel like he would be bored out of his mind and miserable, but definitely old enough to handle whatever trauma a clown could throw at him. And if Dean was YOUNGER when he ditched Sam? I...I don't really want to think about a 12 year old Dean trying to pick up chicks. It's both creepy and sad (but a little bit cute and now I can't help but think of a Milk Money scenario aww). <br /><br />ANYWAY. The ballpit stuff was priceless. As a former ballpit attendant myself, pretty much everything they hit on is the stuff of both fact (vomit right before you're supposed to go home? RAGE.) and lore (killer ball washer! Shark in the pit!) and yes, ball-washer itself is an amazing term. <br /><br />So excited for next week! <br /><br />-- Maryann/KettleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004885658234626174.post-9168996872186555892012-02-11T06:33:17.306-08:002012-02-11T06:33:17.306-08:00Oooh, I didn't even think of this ep as a miss...Oooh, I didn't even think of this ep as a missed opportunity to see Colin! Although I suppose Colin is too old for a flashback for that era now, and I would cry my eyes out at this point if they ever had to get ANOTHER young Sam, Colin is just it for me. <3<br /><br />Great review! I agree, this episode was awesome. So much fun. :)<br /><br />~ TahirireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
