Featured reviews
The events that Sam and his older brother Dean experience while being trapped in the television world are quite entertaining, and even though I've watched it many times, I still have a fit of laughter every time. One of the best episodes with its parody beginning, music and amazing performance of the actors:-)
Trickster! He plays with the Winchester brothers, but he has to be careful who he plays with.
Dean's buddy Castiel also contributes to this fun episode. It is necessary to appreciate such incredibly enjoyable and unforgettable episodes. Very cleverly well prepared and directed.
"Changing Channels" is one of the silliest episodes of Supernatural. The spoof of a soap opera, a game show, a TV series and a commercial is not funny and the conclusion with the revelation of the true identity of the Trickster is unexpected and intriguing for an angel with such weird powers. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Changing Channels"
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the show that Dean watches in the beginning and that both Sam and Dean find themselves inside of later, "Dr. Sexy, M.D.", originated in an earlier episode. It was mentioned in an offhand remark in The Monster at the End of This Book (2009) by "Carver Edlund's" (a.k.a. Chuck Shurley's) publisher, who tells Dean and Sam "all anybody wants to read anymore is that romance crap- you know, 'Dr. Sexy, M.D.'? Please."
- GoofsWater doesn't put out an oil fire; in fact, dousing an oil fire with water will only make things worse. (This is why fire extinguishers that are filled with water can only put out wood/paper fires.) Holy fire, however, does not follow the same rules as normal fire. Once lit, it can burn forever without any additional fuel source, and can be put out quite easily by someone not trapped within.
- Quotes
Sam Winchester: You gotta calm down.
Dean Winchester: Calm down? I am wearing *sunglasses* at night! You know who does that? No-talent douchebags! I *hate* this game! I hate that we're in a procedural cop show, and you want to know why? Because I *hate* procedural cop shows! There's like three hundred of 'em on television, they're all the freakin' same, it's "ooh, a plane crashed here," oh shut up!
