 As everything short of a Kruger That's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review for Supernatural season 3 episode 10 a dream little dream of me This is actually an episode I couldn't remember the full concept of because it's essentially a very big homage to Nightmare on Elm Street with everything short of a Kruger There are so many elements of this episode in terms of its story its structure The way the dreams work the way that the dreams are shot very reminiscent of Nightmare on Elm Street There's only one thing that's missing and it's a Kruger and admittedly the villain of this episode is probably the weakest part And it's not just because his name is Jeremy, but it kind of sucks that you know that my name is in it The episode actually starts with Bobby being locked in a dream and the brothers come find him They find that he's just kind of conked out. They don't know what's going on with them On top of that Sam is feeling guilty about not being able to save Dean all the while Dean's knowledge from Ruby has started to slowly change his mind as we see as the episode goes on And then once the episode enters into the dream world We see a very peculiar means of how the show is shot We go back and forth between very reminiscent of first season shooting style to Very vibrant very oversaturated Overcolored sort of shootings the oversaturation reminds me of the ending of the first Nightmare on Elm Street A lot of very good trickery used in this episode Later on in the episode we're in the forest and then Dean all of a sudden turns around and he's in a hallway Obviously, they're not able to do it to the same extent as the latter half of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies in terms of the special effects and the gore and whatnot But they try to do their best within a tv show PG-13 budget aside from the villain and The beginning of a little bit of a cheesy sort of line of query that we've heard about a bajillion times in this show I actually very very much enjoy this episode We get to learn a little bit about Bobby's past find out why he became a hunter We also get to see Jim beaver actually get to put some emotion into his character other than just kind of Being a grumpy old man and yelling at the boys And then when they go after Jeremy the first time they get Bobby out But then they have to try and go after him They're trying to stay awake. Admittedly one aspect of this episode that wasn't really done at all That was very much done in the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie is the Kids fighting the overwhelming urge to fall asleep just to catch a little bit of shut-eye And that one little moment where they just closed their eyes and then all of a sudden they're in the dream world They're in Freddy's world I kind of thought that that could have been done To at least a small extent in this episode But they never really had the time to do it and while i'm upset that they didn't go that route The idea that Dean just pulls over and's like fudge it. We're just gonna get this over with that Does properly reflect on their characters if they find that they're put into a corner They're gonna put up their fists and they're gonna go and fight then leads into The dream at the end of the episode which was kind of cool We got to see Sam go against Jeremy and that Little bit of turning around the dream on himself having Jeremy's abusive father come after him And that's one of the very few moments that Sam's psychic abilities or any of the demon related stuff that was in season two so heavily Is ever mentioned in season three and that's something that season three can definitely be attributed to have lost Due to the writer strike But then they kind of make up for that for focusing on Dean's very evident issue of dying and going to hell Which is very well addressed in his conversation with himself while it starts off On the same foot that we've heard about a Gajillion times evil dean is just saying to himself. You're worthless. You're nothing You're just a speck. Okay. I've heard this blah blah blah and then he mentions Have you ever had an original thought par is dad's the jacket is dad's all you do is follow his orders Oh, yeah, I forgot about this. This is good stuff. This conversation is so Hard hitting to dean. It's after this. We never really saw the leather jacket again We kind of saw it in season six fans just apparently like flannel a lot more than the cool leather jacket But also the jacket was a item of the 2000s. I really really like this We see dean give in to his emotions We see kind of the future that holds for him when his dead self Opens up with the black eyes and says this is it and this is what you're going to become This is one of my favorite flash nightmares that the show ever had It's also the best sort of use of dean as a villain jensen ackles has never really done a good evil He's never done a job as good of jared if there was to be a comparison because jared has been possessed And he also was lucifer jared's just a better villain than jensen jensen just kind of broods more and talks deeper But he doesn't really do anything. He doesn't really change his character that much And then the episode ends with bella having stolen the colt which leads to pretty big issues and actually Bella's last episode in the season is also one that I very much enjoy He also have dean finally admitting to sam that he is in fact afraid And I can kind of relate to this a little bit if I can be a little bit personal here When I was diagnosed for a second time with testicular cancer. I admit I was a lot more scared the second time. There was a lot more options. I had to consider I kind of tried to hide my feelings with humor. I tried to have some some pretty Pretty goddamn dark jokes. I was working on this indie film with friends at the end when we were finished I did make a joke to the director and the producer saying hey You think you guys will have enough time in the credits for an in memoriam card and both of them were like Jesus christ They also did chuckle a little bit and I opened that up. I was making the jokes I wanted the humor to try and reflect on my fear, but eventually leading towards the surgery day, I Couldn't hold it back anymore. I couldn't let humor kind of foreshadow my fears and I got scared So when it came to within the final month before the surgery, I did say to the guys Hey, maybe we could hold off on this a little bit that humor part of me that Trying to hide up my fears and my emotions So when Dean is saying I don't want to die. I don't want to go to hell I can kind of relate on small part But in the end I'm going to give this episode a six out of seven The only reason why I wouldn't give it a seven is because of Jeremy Jeremy kind of sucks in this episode It's a really cool homage to nightmare on elm street with everything but The title character. So that's you know, at least they didn't go full-on copycat So now I'm going to read you guys's comments and middle of this video is a bit long So I'm just going to try and get through this quick dream a little dream with me Is basically a nightmare on elm street a version of freddy cougar who happens to be human gives people dream drinks Then kills them in their sleep, which doesn't sound as scary as robert england And I just remembered he cameoed in a supernatural episode I do feel that dean not wanting to go to hell was being over the head For 10 episodes each episode before 10 ended with dean being like nah, it's cool I want to go to hell when I feel like most people watching knew he's going to break at some point Dragging it out over 10 episodes for me was a bit too long dean Confronting himself and letting it all out was still awesome to see and dying in your sleep while painless is also scary as hell Not knowing when you wake up and being stuck in your nightmares f that I don't think it got bean over the head Yeah, they did kind of rinse and repeat a few things and particularly dean just Thinking that he's not as about going to hell, but you could see it slowly breaking over time And also again, they were dealing with the writer strike. So all things considered I don't think it's as being over the head as you might say I think it does itself well considering everything out that was going on with writers union and everything during that time I could be wrong, but I think a dream a little dream Was the first episode of supernatural that used bright and colorful lighting rather than the dark and gray one But in this context it works because it was in bobby's dream world Like I said, there's two different kind of styles of lighting in this one There is the dreary inside the house and then there's the oversaturated when they go outside And then it kind of just returns normal a little bit, but admittedly the the lighting from season one is definitely gone It's gone. I really wish that they would film one of the last seven episodes like this But I know it won't happen anyways Those are the only comments because I did this episode really quick I really wanted to review this one, but then the next episode is just in bellow So make sure to give me your comments Please please give me your comments about this episode because this is definitely one of the most Talked about episodes in the entirety of supernatural But anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this video If you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Otherwise, I'll see you guys in the next one.
