How can I get this person's job?

In my never-ending battle to avoid spoilers, I don't read the descriptions U-verse (my television provider) gives each episode. Turns out that's not really a problem sometimes. These are actual U-verse descriptions:



Mom had a very complicated way of committing suicide. I wonder how she got herself on the ceiling?





I can't even.



You remember Jenna, the nurse? Who liked cosplaying as a cop? And maybe calling the Darkness "the deadly gas" is their way of avoiding spoilers? Because they're obviously trying to do that, right? (Spoiler alert: wrong.)



Yes, Dean being able to see Sully. That's the shocking part. That's a major plot point that wasn't explained at all.



Mysterious song?



What was Dean's startling discovery? Was it the Single Perfect Tear? Is this when he discovered it?

And so you might think, okay, it's obviously safe to read the episode descriptions, since they're apparently written by someone who watched half of the preview and are not spoiling the actual plot at all. But you would be wrong.



Way to ruin the big twist, jerks. (Although, in their defense, Netflix did the same thing for this episode... I'm glad I didn't read the description, because it was still a surprise for me when I saw this one the first time.)



This is LITERALLY THE ENTIRE PLOT. I mean, how did they describe All Hell Breaks Loose pt 1? "Sam is kidnapped by demons and just as Dean finds him, he is stabbed in the back and DIES." (Although it probably would have said John found him. Or Jimmy, the nurse.)

Actually, nope, I don't think any of them are giving much away because just think - if you are used to reading these then watching the episode where nothing much relates to the description, you'd be taken completely by surprise when one of them is right! Maybe we should have a comment meme to see who can come up witht he best warped view of an episode.

Season 1 Episode 1 the Pilot
Dean is the titular pilot of the Impala who turns up unexpectedly in the middle of a Halloween party. Sam is shocked to find his girlfriend has turned into his mother and leaves college.

Fair enough!

LOL these are amazing; they're a cut above even Netflix's. (My favorite Netflix summary was for a Law and Order episode: "Detective John Muncj is disturbed by the brutal rape and murder of an eight-year old girl." Because that is totally NOT a normal reaction to such a thing!)

They also sound like my mother wrote them. Whenever she catches episodes on TNT she will tell me what she was watching and her understanding of the episode is always so skewed I'm reasonably certain she's watching SPN in an alternate reality. Just like whoever writes the UVerse summaries!

Ha! Is your mom like one of those "what people who don't watch Supernatural think" Tumblr posts?

Ha!!! These are too funny. It would be fun game to just post the summaries and see if you can guess the episode or even the TV show :)

Maybe this could be a hiatus game next year!
