 Getting into some real dark ages 19th century. That's not the dark ages Dean That's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review for supernatural season 3 episode 13 long-distance call a little joke at the beginning is when Dean's talking about an Exorcism and he's saying that it's dark ages 19th century. That's not the Correct time this episode is actually one of my favorite episodes because of its monster This monster is a great reflection of humanity's disconnect from itself through the Incredible overuse of social media and this episode came out in 2008 So imagine the prevalence this creature would have now it would have even more means to communicate and to consume desperate depressed and Weary travelers and weary people and it is that power that gets into Dean's mind when he pretends to be his father Who Jeffrey Dean Morgan actually did come back as a voice? They actually give him a credit because he is talking to Dean as a disembodied voice and Telling him that there is a means in which he can be saved every other person who's being affected by The monster in this episode is being asked to die to kill themselves to join their loved one Join a family member or an ex-lover To join them in the afterlife to be with them. Whereas with Dean is a completely different tactic It is trying to have himself sabotage himself, and I like that part of the episode That's why this monster is so memorable to me I do like also the heavy heavy character development angle of this episode with the brothers talking with each other about This the hopelessness of their situation as well as Sam dealing with Dean's Overindulgence into this possible avenue of saving himself even though Sam can't come to terms with believing it because of what's happening And while Dean thinks it is a reflection upon his relationship Sam's relationship with their father and there is a little bit of that underlining It is Sam just not being able to believe that something this good could be true There is a bit of humor in this episode too of the IT guy at the phone company which It's a bit over much now. It's it's a pretty disgusting character To think about it now like I I don't know how he had to have a job that guy would be fired I see that maybe they're trying to make a reference to Newman from Jurassic Park, but I don't know it's Yeah, clean up your desk man. I like this episode a lot I like how they use grief as a true monster a true fear because it is something that we all go through It's something that none of us can escape utilizing that Makes this monster one of the scariest monsters. I feel in the show because everything he's doing Is what actual people have done whether it's cat fishing lying about their identity Using their identity to then steal another person's identity and causing immense grief and pain It's a realistic thing. He's just so happens to be a monster in the end though I like this episode a lot. It's one of the reasons why I remember this season so much because of Just how seemingly a very simplistic and Non-threatening obvious idea is just so powerful and so corrupting to people in this episode So in the end I'm going to give long distance call it a six out of seven It's a really good episode. So now I asked you guys to give me your thoughts about this episode So I'm going to read off some of those comments now So this is what you guys had to say and the first one being I feel like you could also be the lead guy of the Glasses of the Ghost Facer you have the face The face Yeah, you aren't the only one who said that a few other people said that Long distance call felt like an episode more fitting for season two in some respects But it also was a clever way of bringing back Jeffrey Dean Morgan to voice as john It's amazing after 12 years that this episode is more relatable in terms of social media than it was before Definitely agree with that This episode also does some foreshadowing for season four on how season Sam and Dean are going to start keeping secrets from each other Yep, um, that was a little evident in season one, but it would only outlast like an episode This is definitely the start of that. I would definitely agree. I love their Caracota, I can't remember pronouncing it properly Has fooled the Winchester's and the audience by impersonating bobby john Winchester the boys themselves I feel like this episode definitely is one of the most underrated in the whole season. Yes, uh, every time I watch it I always Like I I've been the times that I've rewatched it. It becomes more and more relatable And like this was back with like freaking flip phones and email and it is even more relevant now Than it ever was before like this is a this is a monster that essentially gets stronger as time goes by I'm glad the comments were favorable for the ghost faith or facers episode. I enjoy it Can't say the same for a long distance call used to find the episode kind of boring though Now appreciate deans internal panic and grasping at straws as his ears coming to a close The end and offers a good brother moment or two. I I think that's a I think that this episode's a little more than that personally because Of one again the monster As well as before I I didn't get deans desperation when I watched this when I was younger when I was a teenager I couldn't I kind of didn't get it as much but now Having watched it now. I understand deans desperation all the more just to try and believe in something He's at that point right now. We are two episodes away from the finale I tend to forget about long distance call, but it's a good episode Past loved ones calling people to give them hope and find closure only to be disappointed like dean and the father Trying to find his daughter's killer The concept of the episode is also similar to a japanese horror film Zeroes one miss call both have ghosts or people from the dead calling a specific person close to them I heard this too. I heard about this and I'm not surprised because supernatural did take a few Inspirations from a few different episodes this season nightmare on elm street being one of them One miss call there was a few very subtle references to different horror films and series in this season And I'm happy they weren't on the nose. Thank you guys once again for giving me those thoughts Now we're going on to another favorite episode of mine in this season time is on my side I swear the last three episodes of this season knock it out of the park They're just gonna get better.
