Aaah, after having to do so long without the Winchesters, it eased my heart to see the Now part of Episode 20 What Is and What Should Never Be concentrated on the lovely brothers instead of some extra nobody cares about who will die in the next two minutes.
Any heart easing went down the drain soon after because this is an episode of Manly Winchester Angst designed to make crazy fan girls feel even more sorry for our suffering heroes, specifically our old man Dean. Now let me tell you that our man Dean looks less pasty and puffy here than he has in most of the episodes in Season 2. And it looks like the make-up artist has been bundling them off to the tanning salon again, judging by the fact both boys are getting a bit of colour on them. Sam also looks surprisingly..... preppy, what with the pastel coloured shirt and carefully blow-dried hair.
Anyway, a djinn is the monster of the week and Dean falls into his evil clutches when the djinn grants Dean’s unspoken wish and transports him to an alternate reality where Mummy is still alive. Funnily enough, Dean’s fervent wishes doesn’t include Daddy being in the land of the living because in this alternate reality, Daddy is dead from a stroke. However, there is unrest in fantasy land as not everything turns out perfect because Alternate Reality Sam hates his brother’s guts. You can’t blame him for that though because the younger Alternate Reality Dean has been a real sleazy, scumbag jerk to his brother; nicking money off him and stealing Sam’s girlfriend away on prom night itself. Charming. I guess it shows that if Dean didn't have responsibilty thrust upon him, he would turn out to be a complete jerk.
Anyone who has read a decent amount of fairy tales as a child know that you never, ever accept wish granting from unknown strangers (except if it’s your Fairy Godmother) because no good will ever come out of it. There is always a heavy price to pay and in this case it’s human blood that the djinn wants for its own sustenance. Kind of like a toyol sucking blood from the toe of its master only this djinn is modern and uses a cannula and an IV bag instead. So much more hygienic, you see.
So.... two more episodes to go, but I'm scared to watch the final two episodes, because I know it will be a major cliffhanger and I know it'll be the last ones I'll have for a very long time yet. That is, if there is a Season 3 in the works. If not, then..... I don't know what I'll do, curl myself up like a fetus and rock myself to sleep?
