Four weeks of polls: The racist truck

[caranfindel]

It doesn't feel like I can call myself a true rabid dedicated Supernatural fan unless I've watched every episode (Bloodlines doesn't count, because it's not really an episode of Supernatural, it's an episode of an entirely different show with guest appearances from Sam and Dean). I had avoided The Real Ghostbusters until some commenters encouraged me to give it a try, and I did, and I'll admit it has certain charms.

On the other hand, there's Route 666. Not really considered a good episode by anyone, right? So when my daughter watched it while I was doing other things, I skipped it and watched the next episode with her, and just never went back.

So, what do you think? Should I sit through it?

Sit through it! With far worse episodes under our belts now ("Out with the Old," "Torn and Frayed," and ahem, "Man's Best Friend ..."), this episode sits pretty well; it only stuck out as terrible in the context of far better episodes that season. The sex scene is pretty cringe-inducing (Jensen looks not just like he ain't feelin' it but like he's actively exhausted and so over it even as it begins), but there are some excellent brother moments. Actually, the part I found funniest upon rewatching it was some of the bizarre shots of the anthropomorphized truck speeding by; something about the speed and the angle makes the truck look more jaunty than sinister--just a strange choice in direction and editing, yet hilarious for the viewer. Let us know what you think if/when you see it!
