Well, except for the part where they were "acting" in the scene - Versailles doesn't have halls long enough to watch that from.

I eat that stuff up with a spoon. Love.

Octocobra! That was it. How perfect.

Jensen's blue steel face to "act" was almost as good as Jared's gestures during his lines. VancouverNights is saying that Cliff played himself and so did the stunt coordinator. So that's kinda cool.

I was very worried when I saw the episode title. So glad that didn't turn out to relate to the plot. Or did I miss some sort of pun?

Quick Kim Manners story from LJ. I'd link but the comm is flocked.

strgazr04 Question--Ok so I've read about this in at least two or three fics now and I can't help asking if this is true or just something we fans made up in a fic. Did Jensen get tonsillitis around season 1 and end up having Kim sit with him in the hotel only to bring him to the hospital? Is there an interview article or con vid that explains this? If that's true, it's no wonder why J2 cared for him so much. How sweet is that!

wolfpup2000 Jensen talked about this in his private Q&A session at the convention in San Francisco last month. I was there and heard it myself, so, yes, it's true.

winsangel Yes he did! I was at that Q&A too, and he was talking about never missing a day of work on Supernatural for being sick. He was sick over the weekend and went back to work on Monday. Kim truly was like a father to them.

Liked it and did not need a hallway. I adored JP's fake acting - he was hilarious. Balthazar and Cas are quite the team together on my screen. More of that. Must rewatch. Now, must go to work, though.

VancouverNights is saying that Cliff played himself and so did the stunt coordinator. So that's kinda cool.

That wasn't Clif their bodyguard. He was Tiny in Folsom Prison Blues. Unless they have a driver named Cliff, as well, someone's confused.

Went and double checked a screencap, and yup, the exterior of "Sam's" mansion is Old Westbury Gardens in Long Island.

I seem to recall an interview wherein Sera mentioned she would be appearing in this episode, but only via voiceover.

I kinda want to segregate the first and last five minutes from the middle.

This.

And it's not that I hated the middle, but it felt like such a different ep from the bookends. It wasn't just dark/light/dark, it was "amusing and serious/CRACK!!!!/bamf! and serious".

And I kinda hope that the world they got sent to was like a creation of the Trickster, that amongst the CRACK!, the deaths were somehow not real. Because, man, Cas unleashed mayhem and death on a world that didn't have anything to do with his world/universe's problems. (Not that I don't think Cas isn't capable of or willing to do that, because he totally would, but man, that's harsh).

Also, what was with random blonde guy dodging bullets like a ninja?

I was wondering if dodging-bullets-guy was supposed to be Someone. He was sitting next to "Robert Singer" making decisions when the boys first crashed through, right? I'm not all up on behind the scenes, so I have no clue.
