After It Airs (SPN 10/28)

Supernatural
Season 7 Episode 6 - Slash Fiction

Summary (courtesy of The CW Network):
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are once again on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list when two Leviathans clone the brothers and go on a killing spree. The subject of a nationwide manhunt, Sam and Dean need to drop off the grid so Bobby (Jim Beaver) sends them to Frank Deveraux (guest star Kevin R. McNally), a quirky surveillance expert, for help. Meanwhile, Bobby continues to search for a way to kill the Levianthans, or at least slow them down, so the real Winchesters can stop their evil doppelgangers. John Showalter directed the episode written by Robbie Thompson.

Frank: Let’s blue steel you up some new I.D.s
Dean: You know, it’s bad enough that they’re ganking people using our mugs, but now this? Us driving around in this kaboodle while baby’s on lockdown? / Sam: It’s temporary, Dean. / Dean: Nobody puts baby in a corner. / Sam: You know that’s a line from… / Dean: a Swayze movie. Swayze always gets a pass.

Leviathan Sam: Dead plants with creamy goo. It’s like eating self-righteousness.
Leviathan Dean [about Dean]: I mean, honestly, you know what? I can’t stand the guy. Talk about a hero complex. And he doesn’t have relationships, no, he has applications for sainthood. Oh, and he thinks he’s funny. Thinks he’s a damn comedian.
Leviathan Sam: I had a brother with this many issues once. You know what I did? / Leviathan Dean: Hmm? / Leviathan Sam: I ate him. / Leviathan Dean: Of course you did.

Favorite Episode Quotes:
Damon: Not to worry. I’ll just untangle myself.
Damon: Greetings, Blondie. Witchy.
Damon: Yeah, well, I don’t have time for a vengeful Lockwood. When I kill someone, they’re supposed to stay dead.
Stefan: Hey guys. Who forgot to invite me to the family summit?
Stefan: Oh wow. All these words. Forgot how much I used to care.
Stefan: Besides, there’s going to people everywhere tonight. So there’s going to be lots to eat. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Loosen up.
Alaric: We’re not friends. I don’t like you anymore. / Damon: Ah, but remember back when you liked me and we conspired to kill Uncle Werewolf Mason Lockwood? / Alaric: Yeah. And? / Damon: I think he’s still a little pissed.
Stefan: I don’t want your help. / Lexi: You know you say that every time? I don’t want your help. I don’t want to get better. Leave me alone. / Stefan: Well, maybe you should listen this time. / Lexi: Or maybe I should do this! (Lexi smashes Stefan’s head into the car door)
Mason: Meet me at the old Lockwood cellar. Bring a shovel. Come alone. / Damon: What’re you going to bury me alive? / Mason: Don’t tempt me.
Stefan: I love you, OK? I love you…I love you so much. I love you so much. / Elena: Sorry Stefan, I just don’t believe you. / Stefan: You know what? I don’t want your help anyway. I wish I’d never met you.
Caroline: Bonnie. You’ve got your ghost-boyfriend drama. Elena has hers. And right now the mother of mine is about to be ghost bait. So go and send them all back to the other side. Okay?
Lexi: That necklace, at least tell me you remember how you felt about that. You said you found it during your darkest time. And you said when you made it through that that necklace represented hope. / Stefan: Ironic then that it’s about to get blown to pieces.
Alaric: You didn’t have anyone else to call? / Damon: No. Actually, I don’t. Cause I need a non-vampire to get in the cave and other than Elena you’re pretty much the only one I trust. / Alaric: Well you have a crappy way of showing that. / Damon: If Mason Lockwood can get over the fact that I killed him; can’t you cut me a little slack, Ric? / Alaric: I shouldn’t have to get over it. I was your friend, Damon. You shouldn’t have done it in the first place. / Damon: Well…sometimes I do things I don’t have to do. / Alaric: You’re going to recycle that same crap ass apology you gave Mason Lockwood? Damon: Yeah…well…I didn’t mean it with him.

What to Watch (Week of 10/24)

So the People's Choice Awards 2012 Nominees Selection is up, and we have a chance to vote for our favorite movies, television shows, actors, music, etc. A few of the categories include: Favorite Movie, Favorite Movie Icon, Favorite Book Adaptation, Favorite TV Guest Star, Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show, among many others. One thing I was not happy about was the fact that Ian Somerhalder was the only one from The CW to be nominated for Favorite TV Drama Actor. Uh, hello!? What about Paul Wesley, Jarad Padalecki, and Jensen Ackles. AND...to top it all off, Nina Dobrev wasn't nominated for Favorite TV Drama Actress either! Who came up with this list?! Luckily they leave you a "write in" place on the ballot, and I urge everyone to add these names to that list. Please, and Thank You. At least Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries were on the list for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show. Though they are also on the list with True Blood, Falling Skies, and The Walking Dead too. I watch a lot of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. So go here and vote!
