 Well, at least she wasn't a Cylon. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Roadkill of Supernatural Season 2. This is an episode that had Trisha Helfer in it. Most of you probably know her as the main Cylon lady from the Battlestar Galactica series, which was also shot out here. If I were to say the three main sci-fi shows that really started the whole boom of filming in Vancouver would be X-Files, Stargate, and Battlestar Galactica. Even though I've actually met a few people who worked on it and they were calling it Cry Babies in Space. Anyways, this episode is about Sam and Dean helping Trisha find her husband as well as escape this area that is being haunted by this hillbilly ghost who is hunting her. And I'm just gonna skip to the twist right here. She's actually been dead this whole time and we find that out at the very end of the episode when they take her to her husband's house and she sees that she's actually been dead this whole time and then they replay through the episode and they show all the things about the secret parts that you didn't see but the brothers knew. In terms of a narrative purpose, I actually don't mind it the first time. Re-watching this episode, it's not that great. It's actually probably the most buzzkill episode of this entire season for me. It's a one-off, which is unfortunate because sometimes movies and television episodes have that really interesting twist, but it's a one-off. It has nowhere near as much grandeur as it does in the second time viewing. And there are certain films that follow that kind of mentality, usual suspects as much as I love that poster and as much as I love that movie, nowhere near as good as watching it the second time. And this episode does have some cool aspects to it of the idea of a ghost being a resident human and not only being that, but also being on an area every year, just once a year. The mentality as well of the episode is that they have to try and find the guy but they have to wait until this exact time of year but I don't really get it because really they could just find this dude's bones any day but they have to be chased by danger to find it. I don't know. Actually he is a pretty decent one-off because it starts like that with the brothers just coming across it. So I do enjoy the episode. It's not as great of a rewatchable episode in terms of such a big talent being in it. It's only really remembered for this twist. Still decently shot, still decently played out but otherwise I'm gonna give this episode a three out of seven. Now I asked for you guys' comments about this episode. Let's see what you guys had to say. Roadkill introduces the first good guy ghost non-related to the Winchesters and is my least favorite episode. However, it's still enjoyable and the cinematography is really well done. Yeah, I'm actually kind of curious. This might actually be my least favorite episode of this entire season. Have I given any other episode a three yet? Roadkill has a great song choice, House of the Rising Sun and a good twist at the end but I actually prefer the supernatural anime version of the episode. But the main thing I like about this episode and one thing that goes missing in the later season is the fact that death used to be the unknown. I like how the audience didn't know if when the girl moved on she was going to a better place or not and Sam only having theories on what happens when you die makes the situation more emotional and uncertain. I'll agree with you there. It actually makes it feel a lot more kind of ambiguous, a lot more of whether they did the right thing or not. Definitely been sour in recent years but I get where you're going. I really enjoy Roadkill, one of the more creative Monster of the Week episodes. Really enjoyed the sixth sense element with how Molly is in the accident but doesn't actually realize she's a ghost until the end. I also appreciate the episode just jumps into the brothers taking the case instead of the typical research and interviewing that takes up most of the time. I'll agree with you there. Like I said, for a one-time watch, the pacing of the episode and how they set it up is pretty decent. Doesn't carry over to a repeat viewing, but yeah, I always enjoy watching Trisha Helfer. I personally first recognized her role from Goddess and Charlotte from Lucifer. Oh, I didn't even know she was in it. Honestly, I've tried to watch Lucifer. I've tried so hard but I still can't get through the first season. I think I'm like on episode eight, but it's a bit much. I remember watching Roadkill for the first time and being really shocked by the twist with Molly being a ghost and relying on the cycle for 15 years. The episode does bring up death and how no one really knows if you're going to a good place or not even when you eventually pass. I also realized another reason why I love this show is the use of rock music. When the House of the Rising Sun plays, it just clicked in my head and it fit perfectly for supernatural. Just realized this upon rewatching Roadkill. Yep, I'll agree with you. House of the Rising Sun was done very well. I still say it's the best used in Casino. Roadkill was a great episode with a surprise ending. Although if you're paying attention all along, you will see hints that were dropped by Sam. The setup certainly rewards with repeated viewing. Not actually rewatching it, it's even more obvious. I haven't rewatched this episode in a while but my God, was it so obvious when this stuff started coming up? It was like, Jesus, Sam is just like almost about to lay it down. And they're like, oh, convenience, so pull away. Yeah, I don't know. I don't enjoy this episode as much as other people do and it's not age as well for me but that's just my own opinion. All right, guys, that's all for me. I hope you enjoyed this review. Please give me your review for heart, which is the next one. Y'all are gonna fucking cry and know it. This is a great episode. This is literally the best romantic one-off episode they ever did.
