 Can we just all for the record say that he was actually a douchebag? That's a hot mug guys. Hi guys This is my review for Chris angels a douchebag episode 12 of Supernatural season 4 once again kind of doing a filler episode instead of doing a story-based episode which It's taking a little bit of the gusto out of this season considering the last 10 have been very heavily story-orientated There are some story elements in this episode Very light-heartedly and essentially the actual crux of the conversation debate between the brothers is Completely invalid considering how we know how the show ends the main crux of this episode while taking on a bunch of old Has been magicians who all of a sudden seem to have some good luck happening to him one particular being Jay But people are dying in mysterious ways similar to that of the stunts that he's doing the brothers are talking about How they think they're gonna end Sam actually says you think we're ever gonna finish this Do you think this will be our lives or do you think we'll be able to retire and deans like now? Is it's gonna end bloody and sad and I was like, okay, you know, I He's not wrong. It's what happened But at the end of the episode after they've taken everyone down and they've kind of resolved everything even though It's not really resolved because it's not a happy ending Sam Gets into the car with Ruby because he wants to try and do his training again And he's doing it because he says I don't want to do this one I'm an old man anymore and he's not really wrong with that either because as we know after season 5 the whole demon power thing just kind of gets dropped In its entirety, maybe they'll may explain a little bit better because I'm not entirely sure never don't don't spoil it for me I'm gonna remember that myself when we get into season 6. Otherwise though this episode isn't a bad episode I do like how it's taking a giant rip on Chris Angel who at the time when this episode came out He was still big hot shit with his television show Mindfreak my brother would watch it and I hated it. I would rip that show apart This is clearly stage I remember there was one trick we did where he was inside a bus or something or a van and he threw the Card against the window and somehow the card was on the outside of the window But the next cut is everyone outside and Chris like I'm take I'm getting out of the bus for the first time Oh my god, this is so staged. Anyways, the episode itself is talking about kind of has-beens of has-been magicians who have been outshone by people who are more theatrical More Chris Angel douche baggery kind of idea jay for instance Is just so much in this death of sorrow this death of depression of being has been that he's like, you know What I'm gonna try the table of death. I'm clearly gonna die But at least I'll go out with a bang, but then another person dies in his stead And instead of really taking notice of it. He's enjoying the The attention and the fame and the reliving of previous highs again But the brothers come and they find that there is something more at stake here there is some dark magic going on and eventually they take down who they think is the magician which is like a little bit of a twist and tell And the episode ends with jay just being kind of depressed like I gave up my own friend I've lost my other friend. I am all alone now because I did the right thing and I like that part That's probably one of the best parts of the episode because it ends on an incredibly negative note But otherwise this is kind of just a standard episode. It's got some funny bits in it, but really it's It's a whatever so in the end I will be giving Chris Angel is a douche bag a four out of seven It's not badly put together But it's not a standout episode aside from the very obnoxious title of it And like before I ask you guys what you thought about this episode. So let's read those comments off now Chris Angel is a douche. Although true Also, not a great episode. Honestly, I don't remember a thing about it. They can't all be winners Bring on the later episodes of the season the magician Chris Angel Episode proves andrew dab was a genius He saw chuck messing with the boys from the get go with the parallel brother stuff and get a call back in season 2015 with the werewolf brothers chuck loves parallels and seeing the boys react to it So you wrong germy chuck being the villain from was there from the start randrew dab for writer of the year In all seriousness, I like this episode because it shows how easily magic was accessible to people Which makes it all the more jarring that supernatural is remained hidden I like the parallels between the boys and the other type of bond foreshadowing Perhaps when dean was too old to do to sam by his father But beyond that I found this episode okay not too exciting or eventful three out of seven Yeah, the magician's relationship is definitely kind of a parallel, especially the fact that they all disband as friends afterwards it's It's kind of far away. Oh, I'm sorry tart I hope you enjoy this episode more than the last episode old age is a crucial theme in this episode The curious case of dean winchester season five and into the mystic season 11 out of the three I think the curious case of dean winchester is the best for some inexplicable reason the villain in this episode makes me remember Andre too long of the puppet master movies. I've never seen them But yeah, I actually really do like the curious case of dean winchester. I'm looking forward to that one This episode really hits hard when dean compares fighting evil to the creature hydra and hopes to die when he's young And not too old It's honestly one of my defenses why dean needed to die in the series finale On an ordinary hunt the btsm scene is hilarious The makeup did reasonably well and the casting of the magicians was great, too The ending where j tells the waitress to throw away his magic car is a saddening to me every time This episode clearly is a foreshadding to how sam and dean will lose complete trust in one another by the end of season 4 4 to 7 yes again good parallels and I like how sad the ending is even if it is kind of Sam and ruby's relationship seems Similar I'm not going to try and say that I'm going to mess it up totally to samson and delilah from the biblical book of judges A temptress ruby delilah manipulating the hero samson into the being delivered to his enemy lucifer the philistines The hero seems to be finally bested by his enemy only to then regain control and sacrifice himself Sam's sacrifice will allow him to defeat lucifer whereas samson's death would kill all of the rulers of an entire government of philistine This comparison could be a reach Yes, and no, it's not a bad reach though. Honestly actually Please don't watch mannequin 3 the reckoning that episode Literally has 42 minutes of precious life that you could have used on something else Important you're doing yourself a favor. Honestly. I don't even remember what this episode is So I'm actually even more intrigued now I really don't care for the chris angel episode to me. It's boring and not just fun to follow around barry balsk with depressing character Really don't care enough about him and his magician friends to make it worthwhile. Yeah, man. Like it's a very middle of the road episode It's unfortunate because we're gonna have I think one more but then we're gonna get back to really good story episodes Okay guys, thank you for your comments and now we've got another good one This is definitely a good episode as far as I can remember.
