Scoobynatural good idea or bad?
Prima facie it could have become too overdone or overboard but it wasn't like that at all! It was a Supernatural episode after all with the dudes doing what they always do, hunt. This time that took them to a lizard dinosaur and all Dean (Jensen Ackles) wanted for taking care of the family business was that gigantic TV screen which didn't really look that big in the scheme of things. But already it was a 'she' to him. It was apparent they would go through the TV and enter another realm and it had to be one of Dean's fave cartoons. Giving him a chance to make a move on Daphne at every turn!
I think Dean's cartoon/animation took a little getting used to. A- for effort ha!!
But the scene with the sandwich Leviathan anyone. ha Deano wishing his mouth was so big in real life, well you know for food that is!!
Sam (Jared Padalecki) being pursued by Velma forget about ghosts and solving the mystery, his broad shoulders just got in the way of most everything for her!!
Some good lines and animated scenes which really corresponded to Scooby Doo and also making this a great homage. As said to sis was waiting for the Scooby theme song but it didn't appear until a ways into it during the customary being chased by ghosts scene. But glad to see Cas (Misha Collins) get 'cartooned' too. And shall I say it!! Yes to a Constantine/Supernatural crossover ep. I mean we've even got Cas immortalized as a cartoon now too. As is Constantine Animated on the CW Seed! With Matt Ryan's voice. SO a cross-over could go either way, although I would prefer live action personally.
Hey don't forget my crossover dream after all from months ago!
But yeah, Sam and Dean going through a TV screen into a cartton this time, did have a flashback to 5.8 Changing Channels when the Trickster (Richard Speight Jnr) made them appear in all kinds of TV shows, thus Dean mentioning it could be the Trickster/Gabriel again, but he's dead. [Well no, Gabriel was alive in this season, but they don't know that yet. Hey could that be a piece of future foreshadowing for what's to come.] Though when Gabriel left Heaven cos he was fed up with all the fighting between God and his brothers. Of course it appeared he ended up in that very same fight again. Reasons for him being alive yet to be explained as we know.
Dean smashing the TV - oof that would've hurt and he didn't even have it as long as Baby!
However returning to Scooby Doo it was easy to see why they needed to get such an episode in. Season 13 it was about time some more of their childhood and past came back to 'haunt' (no pun) them yet also serving as a detraction from the events of Apocalypse World and their search of the ingredients for that spell. Which Cas managed to find and ends up smack, dab in the middle of the cartoon as well. So if anyone had moseyed on along, not that they would, it was the bunker after all, they too would've been dragged into the TV. Also how they were already at the conclusion of investigating their case and managing to explode the stuffed dinosaur. Would have been good to see how they actually got into it and how it led them to the store.
So by now you will have gathered this errs very little on the side of Scoobynatural itself. I could write all the references and allusions from the Supernatural eps to Scooby, but then you probably know them all and well let's leave this episode forever manifesting in our memories in the manner of an homage to Scooby and the Scooby Gang, aka Mystery Inc, that we've been accustomsed to over the years from Deano et al!
