 Yeah, what's it sinny? I can't hear you over how fucking greed this episode is That's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review for episode 7 of Supernatural season 5 the curious case of Dean Winchester I knew going into this. I knew it was funny. I knew that there was some good jokes about old Dean I forgot One how much effort Robert Singer actually puts into this episode. He does good blocking. He does good character development He does great story progression He's basically not being lazy as he would be later on in the show and to I forgot How much I like this guy the incident that the witch the Irish guy who appears the one who was able to put these magic spells on chips and basically play with people's lives in terms of Years but he's not a villain. He's an anti-villain if anything He's just this kind of force that lets people play chance. He doesn't take sides Except maybe sometimes in the means of helping someone chaotic neutral I say is probably the best Description for this character and he's so good. Is he butchering an Irish accent? I can't really tell I can't judge I've heard that it's good in some places and good bad in others But I really like this character I like him so much that I would almost say he's one of my favorite one-off characters in supernatural history I'm a sucker for poker scenes and just poker storylines whether it be movies or television shows this whole episode It's just so good We have a guy die at the beginning because he chose the wrong cup of chose pose Dean Sam come to this town after Bobby's request to find out what's going on with people either going missing or people dying Very oddly of old age when they're only in their 20s and eventually they find out that there is this Irish witch who is doing these Card games and Bobby because he's just so depressed and so hell-bent on trying to be useful again because of his paralysis He goes and plays and loses Dean then tries to play back for Bobby's years He's able to return Bobby to his normal state But he becomes old and the actor who plays old Dean is pretty good Not every single mannerism is exactly to match but hell it's still way way better Than when Rick Springfield took on Lucifer in season 13. That was a terrible terrible Was it season 13? I don't know it was just a terrible fucking character and a terrible fucking actor really But there are quite a few mannerisms and speeches that this old this guy got and What I found out was actually really sad is he died three years after this episode air So that was a kind of unfortunate I didn't even know that he had passed away. He gets the dude right He has these good jokes with Sam and he has some really good jokes with Dean or with Bobby The old man banter back and forth is so good Like all of it is really well done while the brothers are trying to work back to getting the years back from the Witch whether it be from stealing the chips which mean nothing are just trying to do a reverse spell Which is supplied to them by the witches partner who we'll find out later on what she her real motives are I like how Bobby is just this He feels useless and we can all have had those kind of feelings whenever we've had injuries or whenever we've had Something ill happen to us and especially in someone in his situation that reflects on Many people who have gone through life changing injuries. I thought that Jim beaver did a fantastic job of delivering it The script written by Sarah Gamble was really well done This is one of her best scripts for a one-off episode. There's a reason why Sarah Gamble was such an integral Person in the creative process of this show and it made sense that she got to be showrunner It's just unfortunate that How things went for season six and season seven But she's definitely bringing her a game in terms of the writing for this episode because while this as I said is technically speaking a Humorous one-off filler episode. There's so much character development and respectful dialogue and Conversation back and forth between the brothers and Bobby especially at the end of the episode after They beat the witch in the card game Which that's also a really well done scene Bobby and Dean have this heart-to-heart Dean says you're not useless Bobby You're not just because you're going through this doesn't mean you're not useless to us and the the sigh That beaver gives at the end just before he leaves the room Oh, so much heartfelt and then speaking of heartfelt emotion as I've stated earlier I really like the witch character, but I also really like his partner who's played by a Pascal I've worked with this lady on several occasions. I worked with her Mainly on the wedding bride of the wedding planner or whatever the perfect bride to yeah That was a perfect bride to wedding bells and then also I've been on the set of when calls the heart Which is this apparently incredibly popular Hallmark show if you guys look up the numbers. It's up there. It's up there with walking dead I'm not fucking kidding. I can't believe it show about some weird Rural Canadian town is so damn popular in the lower US States. I don't get it Anyway, she's the partner of the witch but because she's lived so long. She's seen her kids die She doesn't want to be alive anymore. She's lived her life. She just can't continue on and that's seen at the end where he has to literally give all those years to her and have her age all of the Benefits and one that he gave her is all bestowed in those chips as we've seen we've seen like small piles Represent 25 years and both of their piles are massive kind of reflecting again on how long they've been alive for and I liked it It was a really heartfelt moment very rarely Do we ever see a character one like this and to rarely ever if that do we ever see them one not be killed by the Winchesters, but also have this kind of Unfortunate ending this really kind of full circle ending really surprised They never brought this character back in any capacity Concerning the actor who played him kind of okay successful in terms of television programming, but not like oh my god So yeah, I really like this episode. I love the humor in it. I liked who played old Dean. I like the witch I like his partner. I like the dynamic with Bobby. I like how while this is a filler episode there's still enough of development and Important dialogue with the main characters to forward the narrative not Outwardly towards the whole fighting Lucifer thing but inwardly just in terms of the development relationship with the brothers and Bobby so I've been fighting this in my head the whole time I've been doing this review But I'm gonna give the curious case of Dean Winchester a seven out of seven. I like this episode that much It's that Good no joke. No joke. I actually was genuinely surprised watching this episode I was trying to find problems in it if anything maybe the whole Toothpick change might have been it but and then I remember that they cut close on him giving his girl kiss so he's using that as essentially a distraction so he can hide and switch the toothpick because he knows basically he's able to read people not Mentally, but just you know, he's been around for a long while He can figure out when people are trying to sip a jippin. So that's my review for a curious case of Dean Winchester What did you guys have to say about this episode? Let's see what you guys had to say the curious case of Dean Winchester has to be one of my favorite comedy episodes in the entire show The dude who plays older Dean handles Jensen Echols physical quirks and mannerisms to the letter I really love how this episode also showed how much Sam has grown in terms of the character at the end of the Episode with Sam getting a booster shot always makes me feel it makes me smile The two witches also have a really interesting love story and it's always saddening upon re-watching that the male Witch has to let go of his lover He has been together with for centuries the real aspect that always gets me teary about this episode Is how much Bobby has become such an important character for the show Dean calling out Bobby wanting to commit suicide is one of the best moments in the show for me If you watch the episode of the end you see that Bobby's wheelchair has only one bullet hole in it Which implies that he probably killed himself with everything that happened during the judo-christian apocalypse Ending on a positive note I am really here for anybody reading this who has thoughts of suicide You really do matter unless you run the speed of light then you energy But seriously reply to this comment and you can you and I can have a Discussion if you ever feel that you're going through a hard time for anyone who reads this That's very nice of you Joe. That's very good We all should try and take good care of each other especially with Everything that a lot of people went through just in COVID with isolation and all that there on the other note You also point out pretty much everything I liked about this episode, but also good on you for that Joe I Respect you for that. I really like this episode It's amusing and well-acted when Dean loses to the male witch Patrick at poker chat Everett steps into the role To play the age Dean ever it does a great job with Dean's mannerisms and way of speaking His interaction with Bobby is pure comedy gold. Yes, I agree with that. I think Patrick is a really good villain I would I generally enjoy it when supernatural has a villain that comes across as a some point sympathetic while still remaining a villain I overall I give this episode a six of seven and that's something that I kind of Went back and forth with with watching this episode. It's really Patrick a villain. Yes, technically speaking he Puts people in a position where they can die Terribly, but he does leave it up to them He gives them the the download of what they have to do and what is at risk But it's up to them in the general So that's why I kind of really like the Patrick character because he also does a lot of nice things in this episode So I feel that he is Chaotic neutral entirely in this episode the curious case of Dean Winchester one of my favorite supernatural episodes It had a perfect blend of serious character development and humor poking fun at Dean's metamorphosis into a grumpy old man But also delving seriously into Bobby's frustration with his disability and the dark side of immortality Also, this is a witch related episode and those episodes often annoyed me as I usually find them to be very filler This is a very rare exception not only is Patrick a good character But also Patrick's story ends up having a bittersweet resolution overall a really excellent well balanced episode I'm happy that people are agreeing with me in terms of my thoughts about this episode because yeah It's just a generally a really great episode. I couldn't find anything wrong with it Which I think someone's gonna make a comment about similar to later on in the comments here This is a very silly and funny episode. I couldn't stop laughing at old Dean and Bobby's conversations in me, too I laugh so many times the the bitter old man Back and forth of banter is so well done in this episode. I really enjoy the curious case of Dean Winchester It's really funny Jim Beaver did a great job in this episode and the actor who played the older version of Dean Did a great job as him. It's sad that Dean will never have a chance to actually grow old Besides us having this seeing in this episode I really love the scene where Dean is digging up the grave and he and Bobby are arguing like grumpy old man That was funny and then I think there's the comment here this episode deserves a seven out of seven I didn't dislike anything about it. Yeah from the humor in this episode to the Very serious undertones that happen throughout to Bobby's own struggles to Sam kind of taking stepping up to the plate Everything about this episode is really good. I actually could not find anything wrong with this episode It's just a generally a really good technically speaking filler episode but it still has a lot of Elements to the characters in terms of the overall narrative something that supernatural would very much lose in its latter years But very much appreciated here.
