Why do I suddenly feel like I was actually watching The X-Files?  

I could totally tell that John Shiban wrote that silly, silly episode.  There was something about it that made me say, huh... didn't I see this on The X-Files?  (And it totally wasn't the alien part...well, maybe a little.)  It was the different viewpoints.... and that Sam was very Scully for some reason.  The guy that directed it was someone that I had never heard of... so, good one there, new guy.

I think I missed half the important points from all of the laughing.  Like, I have no idea what MoTW was...a demi-god or something.  And if so, why did they think they could kill it with a stake?  Wait. What? I don't think I actually know what happened in this episode.  ^_^;;

So, that was just... fun and angst-free.  Plus, did you see how nice Sam's hair looked?  I wanted to reach out and play with it and say "Awww...puppy is so cute."

So, this wasn't actually a great mytharc episode, but it made me laugh.  Out loud.  So much so that the boyfriend gave me a few funny looks like, "Really, it's not that funny."  But it totally was.  I think the steam kind of let out a little at the end and eased up on the funny, and now I wonder if we'll see this random bad guy again out causing mischief.  You know what?  I just thought of what he reminds me of: that troublemaker on Superman whose name you have to say backwards to get rid of... umm... he's usually on the Bizarro episodes.  Umm... Mr. Mxyzptlk.  I am such a geek.  (I wonder if I spelled that right... Mix-ill-plik is kind of how it sounds.  I think.)

Now it's finally safe to read Weekly World News, but I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere.  What the hell?  I'm at the point where I don't feel all that embarrassed by asking employees if they carry it.  I'm running out of time!  What part of "Weekly" did they miss?  I only have a finite number of days.  I was very saddened by the lack of Bat Boy in this episode.  What is Weekly World News without Bat Boy?  Wait... is it Wolf Boy?  I get confused...and I instinctively say "World Weekly News" instead. 

Oh.. and a month?!?!  A friggin' month?!?!?  Grr... actually, I already knew that what the projected schedule was for the rest of the season.  So, I knew that it would be a month, but it still irks me.

But, I suppose it's best that I actually have time to focus on school -- except for the part where they return from hiatus when I'm in full on study mode.

I wonder if this episode will be as funny the second time around.  Who am I kidding?  Sam with the "blah, blah, blah..."

Wait... You know what?  It's like a real life episode of PWT.  I know I heard some Barry White in there, and I distinctively remember an episode with an alligator in the sewer.  Sam hugged a random person, and Dean said "limerick."  It would all make sense if only Sam's hair hadn't looked so good.

Dude...

I say "Mix-yes-pit-lick." :-O Where is the official source on this?

You must not have paid enough attention, because the MoTW was an iktomi! I know they didn't say it quite like that, but they did the whole "every culture in the world" spiel, and they specifically mentioned there was an African legend about it. Well, the African demi-god they mean is "Anansi," who was a spider trickster. I don't think I have to say anything more. ;-)

I'm telling you, Kripke is a total PWT fangirl.

Well... you must not have read the part where I said that I had no idea what was going on because I laughed right through the important information! :P

Yes, on the second watch I did finally hear them say "trickster" and "Anansi" (and shockingly, yes, I made that association to Iktomi all on my own). I just didn't hear it the first time. Still no explanation on the stake through the heart, but I'm guessing that's in the mysterious issue of Weekly World News. Thanks for trying to be helpful, though.

As for Mr. Mxyzptlk, I don't know about the official source. James said "Mix-ill-plick" when I asked just now, and I think they say it differently every time he shows up on Superman. At least, it's different on all the different series. I think.

There's, um, a whole Wikipedia article on the different ways to pronounce his name. Damn, I can't believe this is bothering me so much. Like I can't rest until I know how to properly say, "Mxyzptlk." I remember in the series, sometimes Superman just called him "Mixy." *L*

You're so silly. You and the laughing through the plot. I can't believe we have to wait a month for another new episode. *curses* We're going to need "I survived Spring hiatus 2007" icons now...assuming we do. :-O

Last night James was watching Superman: the Animated Series and they pronounced it "Mix-iss-pit-lick."
