Tall Tales

We get introduced to the best character this series has had. The sibling squabbles are hilarious and cute.

What can I say about "Tall Tales" other than it was the best episode this season. Kripke kept us laughing from the beginning to the end. There was so much tension between Sam and Dean that it reminded all of us of last season's "Hell House." Which is what Kripke intended for this episode. Sam slashed Dean's tires and Dean stole Sam's laptop. Or so they thought. Really it was someone or something else that stole it. I'm not going to give away what or who did it, but watching the brother's different points of views was hilarious. From Sam hugging some random guy to Dean drinking purple nurples this was the episode to watch whether or not you are a fan of the show. And of course all of you who enjoy the "Wincest" there was the wrestling scene between Sam and Dean. I can't wait for the DVD to come out for this season because I bet there are a lot of outtakes from this episode. Jared had his scene going "Blah, blah, blah, blah.... BLAH!!!" and Jensen had his scene eating all the chocolates or whatever it was. And both actors overacting was right on, making this episode even better. I bet they messed up many times in this episode. Of course the next new episode won't be on for an entire month. I guess I can start focusing on my studies now (yeah, right.) For any of you who missed any of the episode from "Playthings" on should start watching next week. I know I might tune in just to watch those hot, sexy Winchester boys. The next new episode is back to serious Supernatural, but it still looks good.

Jensen Ackles' comedic skills are amplified by the great Richard Speight Jr an extremely versatile actor (Band of Brothers. Open Water 2, Kings of Con) who is comic genius. Wish he was a regular. Jensen is so hilarious in this episode with his dry sense of humor, superb timing and absolute immersion of Dean Winchester.

Sam and Dean are upset with each other and they call Bobby to help them in their investigation in the campus of the Crawford Hall College. When the professor of Ethics and Morality falls from the window of his room, they discover that an urban legend tells that the place has been haunted for thirty years by a student. Then, a pledge master claims that he has been abducted and abused by aliens and a research scientist is eaten by an alligator in the sewers. Bobby advises that all of these supernatural events are actually the work of a Trickster that has the power to make real whatever he wants.

I found "Tall Tales' not funny, and actually a little boring. The disagreement of Dean and Sam, telling different versions of the same story, is annoying. The conclusion is the greatest part of this below average show. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Exagerado" ("Exxagerated")

One of the funniest and most entertaining episodes seen on SPN so far. This rendition of the episode broadens the breadth of the show, as horror can be funny as well as gory and even erotic. Of course, I'm still keeping a somewhat conservative attitude towards this episode, after all, overall this episode was out of place with the rest of the show and I felt it would be a bit cutthroat in its presence.

The editing in this episode was interesting. I thought my internet was stuck, but it turned out to be a deliberate pause set up by the director. It made the original scene even funnier.

Sam and Dean showed a looseness and sense of humour that they have never seen before in this episode, and I suspect this is the most comfortable and joyful episode that they have both performed in. Countless hilarious memories, all sorts of weird and wacky lore, and the two of them battling it out, all made this episode a great change of pace. Even if you pay attention to the credits, you'll notice that the director intentionally cropped in all sorts of clips of Sam and Dean mouthing foul language, it's so funny!!!!
