Talentless underwear model Jensen is not, but why do I now suddenly want an episode where Dean has to go undercover as an underwear model. Actually make both of them do it. C'mon Supernatural, it's practically guaranteed ratings!

I watched Ringer due to my undying love of Buffy. That taught me better than to try and tune into this.

Supernatural's weak link has always seemed to be its writing, imo. When the writing gets good, tight and solid the show is amazing. Unfortunately, season after season, even though the show might still be good, I feel like it really squanders the potential of the premise and of its actors. It has the pieces to be

An endgame of Cas running Heaven and Crowley running Hell wouldn't be bad.

I always feel it's a bit sloppy for writers to ignore things like that.

Hey for some people getting called 'Dean' is their fantasy.

Yeah, it was like whoever did the music was like well, in this episode the score isn't offensively bad, in fact we used some Velvet Underground, so I know, let's put a vaguely racial gong sound effect in! That should shit things up!

I can get why they might not want to keep making 'bad' wesen minorities (otherwise it could start to look real bad like the gang episode) but they've featured plenty of European wesen and it's pretty weird to see white looking people being wesen of Egyptian origin. And I say this as a white looking person who is part

I think maybe they figured sexy wasn't really her thing? Though I can appreciate at least that the show doesn't try to do the thing where it only sexualizes the female actors and not the men. Back when they were trying to make the show sexier they gave us shirtless Nick and Renard as well, and I appreciated that even

He is great! It's tough because he does get typecast in the bureaucrat characters, so I can understand wanting to see him in other kinds of sketches, but on the other hand, he just KILLS them, and it's such a specific comedy niche. I loved his Birthday Loan Officer character.

Yeah, I found it majorly disappointing as well. Bring Wu on the team already!

Everything about them as a couple was perfect. As was Bacon and his turtle. I so hope Buscemi comes back. He has excellent chemistry with the cast which kept his sketch within the wheelhouse of the show, but somehow he brings a (celery) flavor that is just enough different that it feels like fresh air.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd go that far, but definitely each of his movies contain comedic elements. None of them are humorless, imo.

The "Heh heh yeah well.." line delivery perfectly encapsulated the attitude of someone who knows their employer is doing something completely, unnecessarily stupid which is a pain in the customer's ass, which they then have to deal with when customers complain about it, and is therefor a pain in his ass as well even

If Carrie Brownstein is a wesen I think she should be a fox one like Rosalee, even though it would be tempting to have her be a rat as a nod to her rat sketch. Also, I'd include Sasha Roiz on any cop sketches, I think he has great sense of humor. A sketch about crimes cops get called to solve in Portland would be

Really? I LOVED the celery story line. It's probably my favorite sketch they've done this season and I hope they bring Steve back. The scenes with him and Carrie were wonderful. Funny, menacing, sad, desperate with a clever twist on the end.

Yeah, it's not like Tarantino makes comedies, but he does use humor in his movies. I'm not sure what the reviewer is seeing. Maybe the humor is too dark? But then Rodriguez isn't exactly all puppies and rainbows. I dunno.

I agree, making everyone related detracts more than it adds.

I really like Wu, too. It's funny, this show has a lot of good characters, one of its struggles seems to be to figure out how to utilize Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, Renard and Wu. It doesn't sound like a lot, but because they don't all have natural intersections it seems to be struggling in terms of how to balance them and

Yeah, it seems like what would make most sense for Wu's family history was if his father was a Chinese-American and his mother was Filipino, and they lived in the Philippines for a while before moving as a family to America when Wu was still young-ish. That could explain his surname and his lack of accent.
