The Winchester brothers seek the help of their family friend Bobby while investigating a series of unexplained happenings on a local college campus.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)The first Trickster episode! hide show
I must admit that the Trickster is an awesome choice for a monster of the week: he's witty and saucy, stylish and biting, with a deadly sense of humor and smart-ass attitude that is really charming. Plus, its power is both subtle and awe-inspiring (bending and creating reality out of thin air), and it offers endless story possibilities.
Richard Speight Jr. is unbelievably good as this demigod and it's perhaps safe to say that, thanks to him, the Trickster turned out to be one of the two really lovable monsters of this show (the other one being, at least in my opinion, the Shapeshifter of "Monster Movie", 4x05).
"Tall Tales" has also the most hilarious scene of Season Two (the slow dance with the aliens on the notes of "The Lady in Red" by Chris De Burgh) and its storytelling technique (the alternate versions of Sam and Dean, and Bobby's constant recollection of the story) is both effective and brilliantly funny (the editing of this episode was really top-notch).
Great performance by all the cast and professional direction by Bradford May. The script by John Shiban is really good, even if Jeremy Carver outdid it with the second Trickster episode, "Mystery Spot" (3x11).
Another filler episode, but one that lays on the humor. hide show
I've gotten used to the idea of Supernatural following big plot revealing episodes with some filler ones, and this one didn't seem to really do anything except bring some humor and hilarious Sam and Dean pranks.
The episode, whether or not it was a filler, was certainly creative. It involved Sam and Dean telling the story of what happened on their hunt to Bobby. However, they both believe they've done something to each other's possessions, so their stories don't exactly match up. Watching Sam hug the frat guy and try to console him was hilarious, and watching Dean tell the story as if he were the most attractive man on Earth was even more priceless.
The one thing I liked a lot about the episode was the inclusion of Bobby. If there's one character I can see sticking around with the Winchester brothers, it's definitely Bobby. He has the same amount, if not more, knowledge as Sam and Dean and seems to be an all around good character
I'm hoping for the next episode to be a little better. Not that this one wasn't, it just felt a little too filler to me.
This episode was hilarious. hide show
This episode was hilarious especially with all the flashbacks, telling the story from the past. My favorite part is when Sam is acting gay "We have a special investigation here' That was hilarious. Sam's flashbacks sounded more realistic. I also like the part when Sam is helping the guy cope with the guy's abduction. That was another hilarious scene. looks like all the fighting they have been having was caused by the Trickster. When he turns out alive in the episode at the end, it is worth watching. Foreshadowing he might come back in the future er.. hurmph.. "Mystery Spot"... cough cough.
The only MotW you gotta love! The Trickster's definitely got style. And our boys are cuter than ever. hide show
The ultimate SPN guilty pleasure, great concept, tons of fun, and the cutest brotherly brawl EVER … oh and we got to see Bobby again, always a bonus.
The Trickster lies uncontended on the top of my MotW top 10 list. The idea is very creative, as well as innately hilarious, can't imagine a more enjoyable monster than this guy, and he's got style. Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red" and the song by Barry White were the last think I thought I'd hear on this show.
The Winchesters have never looked so childishly adorable, it's unbelievable. The bickering was immensely funny, what was even better … the brotherly scuffle, I was LOLing so hard my stomach hurt! The only MotW I can honestly say I didn't want dead, and I'm really glad he's still out there … something tells me we might run into him again! xD
This episode is amazingly funny! I've watched it so many times! hide show
Sam and Dean call on fellow hunter Bobby for help with violent occurrences on a college campus, but Bobby has suspicions about both the culprit and the brothers' escalating feud, telling them to resolve it straight away. This episode is hilarious!!!! Dean, what so you think you're doing? I love it!!!! Sam looks so gay at that point! I feel for you. You're to precious for this world!!!! Love it! This episode was hilarious! Slow dancing aliens? Classic, classic, classic. We're are just like an old married couple, but they can get divorced, me and him, we're like siamese twins. conjoined twins..
