 That's, that's cool, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for heart season two, episode 17, this episode. God damn, this episode's still really good. Is it a bit dramatic? Is it a bit like kind of a soap opera, which they in fact make fun of? Yeah, but this is like watching a Grey's Anatomy, like a premium Grey's Anatomy, but it's supernatural. And I'm going to explain what I mean in a second. This episode has the brothers hunting down a werewolf in a city in San Francisco. This big rich boss guy is ripped up, which admittedly actually has some pretty good prosthetic effects in terms of FX, like actual like makeup and whatnot. They talked to his assistant, who was the last person in some life, which is Madison. She tells them about a stalker and they kind of think maybe that guy's the werewolf. One guy goes out and watches him, which being Dean, after losing in a game of rock paper scissors. And then Sam stays with Madison for the night. Turns out that in fact, her stalker is not actually the werewolf. Madison is in fact, first really good little twist. The other really good part about this episode is the relationship between Sam and Madison. This kind of relationship writing has never been this good in this show. It got close. It got close. In terms of all of the romantic characters that Sam is known, sure Ruby is probably the most interesting one, but Madison is the best one. This girl has left such an impression on us all after just one episode. And to see what she did in this episode with Sam after he finds out that she's a werewolf, he changes completely. He goes into work mode. He starts to treat her like a monster. And that connection between the two of them that had been established earlier, like when they were watching the soap opera episode, which by the way, small little pause here. Relationship removed. That is exactly like one of my roommates and I when she's watching Grey's Anatomy. It's trash. It's such goddamn trash, but I can't stop watching it. If it's on, go watch it. It's drivel, drivel. Obviously things aren't good. Madison thinks that Sam is crazy while Sam is trying to figure out a way to not kill this girl, even though he just met her. Dean is right ready to blow her away, but they want to try something for Sam's sake, prove that they can possibly destroy the bloodline, that maybe by doing that, they'll save her. Not like how in season 14, where they just erased this shit. That's still one of the worst rep cons this show ever did. And you want to know why this episode matters so much because it showed that the brothers could fail. Not just in terms of saving the world, but even just saving one person. It makes their job so much harder when they can't just save one. It made stakes. It created tension. It made you care. That night, Sam's able to slam her in the closet and keep her in there, even though she tears up all the walls, which by the way is a great production design reveal. Really good for doing visual storytelling. And then Dean goes and kills the original werewolf, who is her neighbor, who is the only bad part about this episode. I have a feeling that there might have been a story note. When Dean kills Greg and he's like, ooh, where am I? Who am I? He should have just gotten the same exact kind of feeling that Madison's going through. Madison doesn't know she's turning into a werewolf. Why does Greg not know? They kind of make a point of trying to cover this with a primal note, like him being a primal thought to be with Madison. It kind of hides it, but I really think that Dean has this a mode of shit. We haven't saved her. And it makes that little story nugget even more ripe. Then they find out that they can't do anything. And Madison's just like, yeah, sure, kill me. That's the way we gotta do it. And Sam doesn't want to and he walks into the kitchen. The shooting's so good. Great use of shadows and lighting work in this episode. Really harkens back to a few episodes from season one. The emotion between the two. Yes, it's dramatic. Yes, it's soap operaic, but it's so good. Music's a great choice for the background. Dean giving him the gun. Sam having this one last look of outer pain in much shorter time than you would think, because when he fires that gunshot, the music even cuts and the episode ends. This episode is really good. I really enjoy it. However, it's a bit over dramatic. And then the whole Greg kind of story part that I feel wasn't allowed into the episode, it prevents me from giving this episode the rating that I think it deserves. I can't, I can't because it's just soap opera. And if I do it, I'm gonna just feel guilty about it considering the class of what I put sevens at. So in the end, I'm gonna give Hart a six out of seven. It's one of my favorite episodes of the show. I'm not gonna deny it. That's probably the most supernatural squee I've ever admitted in all of my reviews. And like always, and I asked you guys what your comments were on Hart. So here are the best ones I could find from what you guys told me. I love Hart for a variety of reasons. Sam always winning rock paper scissors until season six is hilarious. The effects of the werewolf were simple without all the hair. If it was your typical werewolf of all the hair, I don't think the audience would have felt attached to Madison. This is also the first time we see one of the brothers having to put down a monster that they were close to and go through it all. Definitely one of the best episodes of show romantic tension. The end scene shoots my heart every time. I'll see myself out now. Definitely the emotional tension to Madison definitely really cemented that emotional heartbreak that the end of the episode ends with. One of the better things about the earlier seasons was that the monster felt like a threat and that they felt important to compared to now. Hart I remember made me cry when I first saw it cause I felt super bad and even worse when they discovered that the cure to help Claire not to be a werewolf or was a vampirism. I felt that Sam had good chemistry with the actress who was also on Smallville with Jensen, LOL Vancouver actor life. I feel episodes like this made us the audience. If not the character wonder if all the monsters were evil because are before they just assumed that they were. This one and the vampire intro episode. I wonder if it occurred to Sam that she was in purgatory when she went there in later seasons. That is a good point actually. She would definitely be in purgatory. I'm happy that they didn't bring her back when they went to purgatory because of all the actors who have a one episode lineage on this show, she has one of the best ones and I don't want that tarnished. Honestly, this is an episode I initially forgot about but after rewatching it, damn. Ah, the good old days where not everything had an out and emotional loss actually kept me invested. I thought this episode was an excellent way to parallel Sam's difficulty killing Madison with Dean's own decision to kill his brother. The last scene was really well done from the brother's talk, Jared's tears to the off-screen gunshot and Jensen's own winch slash tear. Obviously the threat level wasn't huge. The male werewolves barely get any screen time and is tracked down and killed no problem with the boys even admitting that they already know how to kill a werewolf. But unlike more recent episodes where nothing seems like a big deal anymore, at least this episode makes up for the easy hunt with a solid moral dilemma showing us not all monsters are evil and character building that actually made me a little teary at the end. And yes, that does relate to my kind of, my one criticism of this episode is how easy it is for them to find the werewolf. Like my God, can you imagine actually trying to do this in a city? This would be so hard to do. Maybe I'm alone on this one but I don't love hard as much as everyone else does. Anytime a relationship or any kind of romance occurs in the show or a movie I watch, I tend to check out because it just gets in the way of what the protagonist should be doing. For example, in the Thor movies, Natalie Portman's character is just there to be the love address and prevents Thor from being Thor. But in Ragnarok, he's allowed to just be Thor because he's not in a relationship. Sam and Madison clearly have an attraction towards each other, but I truly couldn't care less. However, with saying all that, hard is a really good episode. The end scene where Sam has to kill Madison is very emotional and still makes me tear it up a bit but not only is Madison being submissive but there's just no other option. I see where you're coming from with the Thor comment. However, this is not like that. This isn't a romance for romance sake. This is an episode that actually creates some attention, creates some form of mortal ground and then they snatch it away. Something I forgot to say during my review is that he sees her as another Jess. He sees her as a chance to redeem himself and the fact that he has to put her down again immediately after, he's like, man, I just lost Jess, now I lose Madison, everyone I love dies. It really cemented that Sam's just fucked for life. Next episode is Hollywood Babylon, an episode that was shot at Northridge Studios which I worked at for a couple of months.
