You knew it had to happen: Dean and Sam Winchester REALLY breaks through the fourth wall in tonight’s episode of “Supernatural”, titled, “Changing Channels”. It looks like the apocalypse and all that end of the world stuff will just have to wait while the boys have to figure out how to escape the Trickster’s latest game — trapped inside some of America’s current crop of mindnumbingly SHITTY TV shows.
There should be plenty of funny, juicy bits here, that’s for sure. If “Supernatural” is one thing, it’s that it never really conformed to mainstream TV. Compare it to shows like your average “CSI” and its legion of clones, or “Grey’s Anatomy” and its legion of clones, and “Supernatural” just sings with originality.
The Trickster (guest star Richard Speight Jr.) throws Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into an alternate universe where they are characters in different television series, including a sexy medical show, a Japanese game show, a forensics show and a sitcom. The brothers realize the only way to get out of this world is to play along and become the characters in the shows. However, Castiel (Misha Collins) appears and warns them this universe is dangerous and they must get out before they become trapped. Charles Beeson directed the episode with teleplay by Jeremy Carver.
