Supernatural: Mannequin 3: The Reckoning

Sometimes, part threes are good.

They had me at the title, but Supernatural paid it off with creepy/sexy ghost-possessed mannequins that just appear out of nowhere. I’ll overlook the cheesiness of the arm movements, since the sight of a life-size rigid dummy is genuinely spooky enough, especially at night. (Anyone who’s ever closed a department store can verify this.)

As for Dean’s dream of the family and white picket fence, I suppose it’s possible, but I’d prefer the show to not head down that direction. Dean and Sam are honor-bound and destined to fight goblins and ghoulies until the day they die – most likely fighting goblins and ghoulies.

There you are Joe.  Thought you'd been strangled by a mannequin or something.

And wasn't it sweet when the ghost posessed Dean's car?

Heh-heh-eh.  You said "rigid."  Heh.

Now that that's out of the way, I can say that this was another pretty good episode.  Yeah, Kara, the posessed car was great!  And really, I liked the "holy crap, she's an organ donor" thing.  That had never occured to me.

By the way, Joe, where's your Smallville review?  I thought pros got their shit out on time.

Hey guys, my Smallville review was sent in on Sunday. Not sure where it is.

 I thought the ep was crap.  Did like the organ donor thing.

Jakester 2/22/2011 3:38:29 PM

Yeah, well this episode thought YOU were crap!  Supernatural OWNS SON!

Oh wait.  That's your schtick.  Um, sorry man.  I got a little carried away.

Not the best ep of the season, but since the show is generally batting about 98%, that's still pretty good.  I did like the "Kim Cattrall" reference that Dean made at one point.  I hope the show starts to tie things up.  We're halfway through the last season, and there are still a lot of loose ends, like the whole "Purgatory" thing, where God is, the war in Heaven, etc.

Does it own?  I haven't really cared about anything that has happened this season.  It's been missing a real villain till now that Queen Monster girl or whatever showed up.  All the other seasons had one. (Ex: Yellow Eyed Demon, Lilith, Lucifer)

@ Cap who said it was Supernaturals last season, i didnt hear that

Bryzarro 2/23/2011 8:07:33 AM

 @LocoLobo - It's been talked about since before last season.  Season 5 was written as the finale but CW had an option for a season 6.  Kirpke came out as the lead after 5 because that was all he really had scripted the show to go upto.  

Season 6 has someone else leading it but Kirpke is still involved to a degree.  IMO you can see the quality difference storytelling wise with how this season has gone from all the others.  But this is the last of Supernatural.
