Supernatural - Midseason Poll - Season 7 Round 2 and Song/Scene Nominations

31 Dec 2011

Share on Reddit
Yesterday saw a very easy vote for most people in our best season 7 episode so far. Today things will get a little harder for many. Four episodes are booted from the contest: Season 7 Time for a Wedding, Shut Up Dr. Phil, The Mentalists, and How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters. Four episodes survived: Death's Door, Meet the New Boss, Slash Fiction, and Hello Cruel World. So which two will survive to the next round? My bet's on Death's Door and Meet the New Boss, although that's not how I am voting. Voting will last 24 hours so pass the word.

Nominations for today will be best song-to-scene match. It is different from the favorite song competition. For instance, Carry on Wayward Son will probably win the favorite song poll, but unless people are including the previouslies, it really has no scene for the music to match. It wouldn't be a good candidate for this particular poll. What this contest measures is how well a song fits the scene on screen. Since some songs like Back in Black have been used more than once, please put the episode and then the song title when you go to nominate. For instance: Bloodlust - Back in Black or Nightshifter - Renegade. If you need a refresher on Supernatural songs (and let's face it - there have been a lot), try TuneFind - Supernatural or the TV IV. Nominations last for 3 days.

Also if you haven't kept up with SpoilerTV over the hectic holidays, don't forget to cast your votes for the remaining summer hellatus episode rankings. Round 4, round 5, and round 6 are still open. Also, you have 1 more day to nominate your favorite comedy episode. Favorite song nominations are open for 2 days. Thanks to everyone participating!

    Again I will wait until after I rewatch the episodes in question for the season 7 poll, but I'm fairly certain which two episodes I am voting for.  However, I have been mulling over the nominations for song-to-scene for a day now.  Still I haven't made my final choices since I keep wavering between a few.  I have however narrowed it down to 15 songs.  Renegade from Nightshifter will definitely be my first nomination since I don't think there is a better match of music and scene in all of TV.  It even beats Cold Case for song selection perfection.  What a Wonderful World from What is and What Should Never Be will also be in my finals.  Although I prefer the Louis Armstrong version, Dean fits Joey Ramone's so much better.  Besides, both are excellent and quite honestly there is no better song to match the mood of Dean enjoying a normal day mowing the lawn and drinking a beer.  Again, perfection.  Don't Fear the Reaper from Faith was also going to get an automatic pass into my nominations until I started thinking about it.  Obviously there was plenty to fear from the reaper and the jogger looks terrified.  Completely opposite of the lyrics, so I tossed it out.  Later though I decided this was the Supernatural crew's version of musical irony and so yep, it's back in.  Of course, partly it's because I just really love the song and it made the scene so much better.  Now off to continue mulling over what will be my last 2 nominations.

    As much as I loved Death's Door, Slash Fiction is still the episode I enjoyed the most.

    And all the usual suspects for the song/eppie ranking, though I added "Green Onions" from Folsom Prison Blues for that fun prison entrance scene,  and "What a Wonderful Life" by Ramone in What Is and What Should Never Be. Such a powerful use of that song.

    I'm a snob and prefer the earlier hard rock episodes.
    But season 6 did make me happy with "Smoke On the Water" in Two Men as Dean lovingly reveals Baby.
    And that perfect duo in Mommy Dearest of "You Sexy Thing" in the beginning, and "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship at the end. Poignant link to the Jefferson Starship joke and Castiel's betrayal.

    Well...ended up voting for Death's Door and Slash Fiction. I just rewatched Death's Door and I know I enjoyed Slash Fiction more than Meet the New Boss (even with Dean in a jumpsuit fixing the Impala).

    Song/Scene nominations are thus; I had to reign myself in because I kept wanting to pick more and more, but I went with the theme and tried to pick the songs that really, truly best fit the scene they were used. This is what I cam up with.

    1. It's A Terrible Life - A Well Respected Man - Dean is a respected, responsible man, and this song playing over him going to work in a suit and tie is just perfect.

    2. Hello Cruel World - Black Water - Ha. Literally. Black Water. Plus, the friggin Doobie Bros.! Come on!

    3. No Rest For The Wicked - Wanted Dead or Alive - This moment is made more poignant by Sam and Dean singing along, and Dean's obvious fear of what's coming for him.

    4. All Hell Breaks Loose pt.1 - Foreplay/Long Time - What I love most about this one is how the beginning acts as the "Road So Far" and then it seamlessly transitions into the opening of the episode, with the song playing on the radio in the car. Love it!

    5. Faith - (Don't Fear) The Reaper (I think I accidentally hit enter before I was able to type the full song title in so I hope you know what I mean...I'm sure you do) - When I saw this episode for the first time I was speechless at the use of this song in the episode! It has stuck with me since, and I'm so so so so saddened that when this episode (all of season 1 actually) is purchased on iTunes that the music is different! It's terrible because it almost ruins the episode having some crappy replacement song in the spot of this one.

    I'm going for HCW and MTNB and wow the song choices were hard that in the end I kept on switching them and I might have forgotten to put the episode title in my last choice :(

  8. Dahne31 December 2011 at 08:44

    I think my choices are going to be pretty varied although there is a lot to choose from.  I loved the Smoke on the Water song but Back in Black will always be subtitled Theme for Metallicar to me.  I'm surprised they didn't use it here.

    I never really thought about how "You Sexy Thing" and "Miracles book end Mommy Dearest.  That is pretty clever.  Although, I can think of plenty of times when I would use "You Sexy Thing" to fit a scene.  Can't say that cannibalistic bar grudge fight is one of them.  :-)

    I'm doing a rewatch of Death's Door, Slash Fiction, and Meet the New Boss tomorrow just to make sure I vote correctly.  However, right now I think Slash Fiction may be my favorite too.  Just a tad bit better than Death's Door.

    Who knows?  Perhaps we are twins.  I'd say we are definitely in the minority.

    Not a problem if you did.  It's really just a way for me to know what episode if a song is in more than one and also a way to tally things quickly.  For most songs it won't matter one jot.  Thanks for participating.  I also have spent a lot of time switching what I think I'm nominating.

    I voted Death's Door and Slash Fiction.   There were so many themes/songs to choose from.  It would have been easier if we could have picked maybe 2 or 3 per season. lol  I do have a wicked sense of humor at times.  Re: humor  1.  Changing Channels - The Knight Rider Theme -  I am sorry.  It was funny enough when lights flashed across the front of the car and Sam's voice came out instead of Kitt's.  Then when Dean drove it, there was the theme song and I was laughing so hard.  It's worth at least one vote.
    2.  Nightshifter - Renegade.  I really don't thing a reason is needed.  If you have seen the episode, you understand.
    3.  Swan Song - Rock of Ages.  Dean slipping that cassette into the player and the music roaring from the speakers as he slowly drove the Impala into the cemetary, knowing he would probably not be driving back out.  Knowing that if he reaches Sam, Sam will die.  If he doesn't humanity will.  He would not let his brother face this alone.  That's what the show is all about.  It gives me chill bumps.
    4.  What is and What Should Never Be - What a Wonderful World.  That just touches my heart every time I see the episode.  
    5.  No Rest for the Wicked - Wanted Dead or Alive  The bravery or maybe bravado of the two brothers, both knowing Dean is heading towards hell and there's not much they can do to stop it.

    Don't even get me started of the crummy iTunes version.  It's gotten so I can't stand to watch season 1 there even though I spent good money on it.  I spend so much time complaining that my favorite songs are missing that it sucks the enjoyment of the episodes right out.  Faith is one of the worst because that song IS that scene.  Without it, the scene falls apart.  They would have done better not to put music to it at all.  Argh!  

    Great choices by the way.  And yes, I knew exactly which song you meant in your nomination.  :-)

  13. pinkphoenix198531 December 2011 at 09:01

    Great. I was worried that I did something wrong. I struggled choosing because while I was more into the music in the earlier seasons...in the later seasons where lyrical music is sparse and rarely used, there are such iconic scenes that use music-  like Swan Song with 
    Def Leppard's Rock of Ages. I get chills just thinking of that scene.

  14. Dahne31 December 2011 at 09:02

    Hard to argue with these choices.  If Renegade isn't in the finals, I'm giving up.  It is so absolutely perfect, I challenge anyone to find a better song for that scene.  Don't Fear the Reaper is simply a cool song by a band far too few people know these days.  Without this song (see my rant below about iTunes) the scene falls flat.  Another perfect selection.

    I also laughed at the Knight Rider theme in Changing Channels.  I am so dating myself but my family and I used to watch it every week.  To see the cameras lovingly pan every angle of Metallicar while the theme song played made my year.  It was a perfect nostalgic trip back.  Plus Metallicar is so much better than KITT, even if she purrs instead of talks.

    While I constantly complain about the lack of music in the later seasons, I would agree that when we actually do get a classic rock song it has been chosen with care.  Many end up enhancing the scene and giving us one more thing to associate Supernatural with.  It seems like every day I have the radio on in my car, I find something that reminds me of SPN goodness.

    ReplyDelete
  17. pinkphoenix198531 December 2011 at 09:16

    I totally agree. The music on SPN really made me get back into classic rock and realize that the pop music of my generation is seriously lacking especially with the computer effects they put in. And like you said, the careful selection of the music in the later seasons just enhances the scene and makes a huge impact.

  18. isleofskye31 December 2011 at 09:34

    To really make a pondered choice, one would have to go through all the seasons to refresh one's memory, but I'm still going to go with some of those which  seem to have stuck in my mind, although there are just soooo.. many.
    I just feel I'm unfairly leaving out some wonderful song/senes.


    So "Heat of the Moment" beginning with Sam's waking puppy eyes, through Dean's singing and onward.

    Definitely "Beautiful Loser" with the wonderful black and white opening scene.
    I'll never tire of watching it.

    The beginning of It's A Terrible Life  with The Kink's "A Well Respected Man" -as my heart beat faster with the suspicion of an alternate universe story.  :-)

     "Smoke On The Water" at the end of Two and a Half Men.
    I loved the song and the scene with the unveiling of the impala and the estatic look on Dean's face.

    "Knocking on  Heaven's Door," for the firework scene in Dark Side of the Moon.
    Sam is Dean's heaven and Dean is Sam's.  I didn't say it, canon does!

    All four episodes are brilliant so it was hard to choose,but in the end I went with Death's Door and Meet the New Boss(which is my favorite,so far).

    The songs are a different story..I've rewatched a lot of scenes to get ready for this poll and it was still nearly impossible to choose five.To make things a little easier I've decided not to include the previouslies..Also,the songs I nominated yesterday are out of the competition.

    1)Devil's Trap - Bad Moon Rising
    It is,and always will be,one of the most memorable scenes for me and the song was the perfect match.
    "I know the end is coming soon..I hope you are quite prepared to die"
    If that didn't prepare us for the next 6+ seasons,I don't know what did.

    2)Heaven and Hell - Ready for Love
    Okay,maybe it's a little cheesy but I really,really liked it.It's actually a scene that became even better because of the music,so it definitely gets a nomination.Plus,hot scene!

    3)Two Minutes to Midnight - Oh Death
    The song was made for that scene and the character of Death!It's one of the coolest character introductions ever..For me it comes a very close second after Cas' introduction.
    "My name is Death and the end is here".I'm getting chills just by listening..

    4)Two And A Half Men - Smoke on the Water
    I didn't mind domestic Dean at all(at least for a couple of episodes)but I cheered when the Impala was uncovered!

    5)Faith - Don't Fear The Reaper
    Fear..?I was freaked out!I'm pretty sure it'll get enough nominations,so I thought of going with something else,but I really love the song and it goes perfectly(with a hint of irony because of the lyrics)with the scene.

    Others I considered were:Swan Song - Rock of Ages,Hello,Cruel World - Black Water,My Heart Will Go On - One Way or Another and My Heart Will Go On(honestly,I love the song),Bloodlast - Back in Black,No Rest for The Wicked - Wanted Dead or Alive,Yellow Fever - Eye Of The Tiger,Night Shifter - Renegade,Muse - Supermassive Blackhole...I'm gonna stop here because this could go on for a while!

    Dahne, you are a cruel cruel person.  :-D

    Death's Door,  Slash Fiction

    I thought this was going to be an impossible section for me to fill out.  But I did come up with five scenes.  Though I haven't forced myself to put these in order.  

    No Rest for the Wicked - Wanted Dead or Alive  (No dialog LOTS of info....loved this moment)
    Swan Song - Rock of Ages           ( As I was reminded yesterday...awesomest entrance ever)
    Heart - Silent Lucidity                   (Again...these guys and the scenes without dialog.  whew!)
    Exile on Main St. - Beautiful Loser       ( I loved the montage at the beginning of this season.)
    Two and a Half Men - Smoke on the Water                                            (the Impala is back!)

    Confused...Are you saying that the version of the ep on iTunes has a different version of the song?  Or that iTunes doesn't have the original of the song on it.  I'm trying to remember what version is in the ep on my DVD.  

    I hate that music rights get screwed up on DVDs.  One of the series I purchased (blanking on which one exactly) has replacement music on its DVD.  And Werewolf (an old series I was looking forward to getting on DVD had its release cancelled because of music rights.)

    Hello, Cruel World - my favourite season 7 episode so far, and Meet the New Boss.

    As for the song-to-scene nominations... I leave those to others. I don't pay THAT much attention to music playing in the background when the fate of my boys is being decided. However, I'm sure those songs help me get into the atmosphere. I'm just... unaware most of the time ;P

    I do remember Renegade, though. That was an amazing song-to-scene match.

    Death's Door & Slash Fiction, but I changed my picks for songs several times before giving up and sending.  So many I wanted to list, but went with Nightshifter/Renegade, Devil's Trap/Bad Moon Rising, Two Minutes to Midnight/O Death, Dark Side of the Moon/Knockin's on Heaven's Door and last but sure not least Swan Song/Rock of Ages.  This ep will always get my vote for anything it is up for and I have watched it way more than any other, just keeps pulling me back in.  Terrific acting by J2 (not that that is unusual).

  26. rehabber31 December 2011 at 12:59

    To be honest I never paid any attention to songs in series, enjoyed the music but the acting was the thing, until SPN and then Moonlight.  Now it is one of the first things I do notice. Dang I do love SPN, has opened my eyes to background music.

    The first two polls sucked. In a very good way. I just have no idea what to vote...these are actually some of my favourite episodes of all time. Im thinking Deaths Door and Meet The New Boss, but then I think its a crime not to vote for the others.

    wow, this got tough REALLY quickly haha.. the first poll went to Death's Door, because I think the acting was fantastic all the way around and I loved the insight into Bobby's gruff exterior.  the second went to Meet the New Boss, though it was an extremely tough race - Slash Fiction was also fantastic, but was edged out at the last moment.

    So far, I've got Nightshifter - Renegade and Free to Be You and Me - Simple Man.  I thought the contrast in the latter was really powerful, showing how different Dean's and Sam's lives were after Sam decided to give up hunting.

    yes, totally agreed about iTunes, and I don't get it, because the DVDs have the right music; so what the heck! argh. Thankfully I only purchased two s1 eps and you're right, they are virtually unwatchable :(

    I agree so much about WWSNB. The first time I watched it, that scene took me into Dean's head so deeply that I was feeling like he was, amazed by the peace and normalcy, and then felt it from the inside when it collapsed around him, up to the climax of AHBL2. That caused probably the deepest reaction I've ever had to fictional characters - and it started because this song/scene sucked me into the fun of it.

  36. ZoeF31 December 2011 at 18:46

    I love the bracketing verses "I Believe in miracles" in the beginning VS "Do you believe in miracles?" at the end, as though by the end they don't, after Cas's betrayal.

    I'll be shocked if O Death isn't a poll choice.  Just the screener clip they released of it before the episode aired had people talking about it and trying to find the download.  If I had to pick 5 songs that are a shoe-in for top spots, this would be one of them.  You may be happy your vote went to Silent Lucidity instead.

    It was a shockingly nasty downward spiral, going from normal bliss to your brother's dead in the space of two episodes.  The reason why I love WiaWSNB so much is that it has both brothers happy for once.  It may be a dream world and they may not be happy about the same things, but they are both content with life and even find some joy.  The lawn mowing scene, right after eating the sandwich with his mom, is the epitome of Dean happiness on this show.  It resonated with me deeply because the brothers are never allowed to have even a smidgen of happiness and that song and that scene simply radiated joy.  I would love to see some more lighthearted moments on Supernatural.

    One of my favorite shows, Cold Case, also can't be released on DVD because of the music rights.  It's a real shame.  I wish the music industry would understand that if I hear their song during a scene that resonates with me, I am likely to buy the song.  That's what also frustrates me about music companies taking down fanvids.  9 out of 10 times if I buy a song by a "new to me" artist, it's because some fan did a great job using it in a fanvid.  People who refuse to let that music be played frustrate me and ultimately hurt their own bottomline.

    Supernatural has caused me to do a lot of things I never dreamed I would.  Start writing again, get back on Facebook, join Twitter, and create a totally awesome (to me at least) digital music collection of bands I once loved but then forgot about.  If for nothing else, Supernatural has my loyalty because I wouldn't be doing what I am now or have so many friends from around the world without it.  Now if I could only learn how to do screen caps and make fanvids myself.  :-P

    You convinced me to go back and watch the scene in Heaven and Hell.  Looking at the lyrics, I agree with you that they fit well but more for the beginning lines than even the chorus.  "Walking down this rocky road, Wondering where my life is leading, Rolling on to the bitter end."  That pretty much sums up the heaven and hell story line for about a year and a half for me and this episode is about where that plot really kicked into gear.  It's a sad foreshadowing of how desolate things were about to become.  The chorus "I'm ready for love" definitely fits the steamy scene well too.  I'm adding it to my list.  Great choices!

  43. Dahne31 December 2011 at 20:01

    That's probably the best description of the Wanted Dead or Alive scene I've read - "No dialogue, LOTS of info."  You couldn't be more right.  It's another example of the terrific acting on Supernatural.  Since you and several others keep mentioning Silent Lucidity, I went back and rewatched that scene.  Yikes!  What a heart breaker.  Even when you know what's coming, it doesn't get any easier to take.  Such a sad scene and such a beautiful song.

    Bollocks this was HARD! I love all four episodes so much. In the end I went with Death's Door, purely because it was so 'ballsy'. No one (generalizing here - I guess there are people out there who want to see the last of Bobby) really wanted Bobby to die (hey he still might be ok - who knows?) but the show went there anyway. It could have really boring, but I was on the edge of my seat for the entire 40 odd minutes. That's not to say Hello, Cruel World wasn't an excellent episode too.

    I chose Slash Fiction over Meet The New Boss for much the same reason. The levia-clones could have been lame, but they weren't. And the conversation in the diner was brilliant. Choosing this way doesn't detract at all from Meet the New Boss' awesomeness either. For those who say S7 sucks, I couldn't agree with you less. I'm loving it.


    As for song-to-scene, all the ones I love have been nominated:
    Nightshifter - Renegade
    Devil's Trap - Bad Moon Rising
    Bloodlust - Back in Black
    Swan Song - Rock of Ages
    Exile on Main Street - Beautiful Loser


    I need to give a shout out to The End - Do You Love Me for its sheer incongruity. As has been mentioned in other comments, sometimes it's that 'wrongness' in the music that makes it so right.

    Slash Fiction gets my vote over Meet the New Boss after a repeat watch of both.  I love much about MtNB, especially Death, Crowley and Baby repair.  It has some great lines and it definitely moves the story forward.  However, the constant one-sided religious and political commentary has been overdone on Supernatural.  I'm not saying I don't agree with what they are saying but there are nut jobs on both sides and I am tired of SPN writers just concentrating on the one.  It's a deal breaker for me and that alone nixes it for my vote.  

    However, Slash Fiction is definitely worth the vote and may be my favorite of the season so far.  For one, it is more funny than a lot of the comedy episodes and my favorite humor wise this season hands down. It also moves the mytharc forward and in great points-getting, in puts Amy out in the open.  Grrr, I hate the plot line.  Probably my favorite thing though is the LeviaWinchesters.  Not only are tehy snarky and dead on, but they let us see that Sam is NOT alright even when he claims to be and gives some of the best lines of the year.  I will never look at eating salad the same.  If only for the diner scene alone, it would get my vote.  However, I think Mensa Monster was superior to all the latest villains.  He was pure fun and I hope we see more like him in the future.

    Agree 100% about hating the Amy plotline! It's actually the worst several episode arc that I can think of on Supernatural. I'm also with you on adoring the LeviaWinchesters! That scene in the diner is pure gold, the discussion between the 'brothers' about who is more screwed up is just priceless!

    "For those who say S7 sucks, I couldn't agree with you less. I'm loving it." Amen to that! I couldn't agree with you more.

    Actually I don't love Facebook.  Much of the time it is annoying.  However, I can't live without Twitter.  If I had to chose only one, Twitter would be it.  Sorry your retirement has been so busy.  I'm hoping mine (many years down the line) will include whole days with nothing to do and no one to see.

    I couldn't vote until a rewatch. Now it's Slash Fiction fro sure and probably but not 100% sure Death's Door.  Although that warehouse scene in HCW was awesome.

    I can't get any sound on this clip.  Anyone have another one?

    I'm going with Death's Door too.  It had all the drama but there was a lot of funny at the beginning of the episode, especially with Rufus.  I like that mix.  Plus, I have a feeling this episode is going to be a game changer and i want to hold onto the positive until I can no longer turn the tide of despair.

    I'm loving season 7 too.  It has a good mix of comedy and drama within the episodes and several episodes have been on fire.  Yeah there are the few episodes you'd rather not have been included but that is the same for every season.  Overall, it's been solid and a uniform narrative.  Plus I like the Leviathans.  

    Do You Love Me was such an odd song choice that it also stood out to me.  Also, it was part of my summer road trips with my family as a kid.

    I think what makes that moment so strong (at least for me) is that I knew what was coming.  That combined with Jensen's performance I was balling the first time I watched it.

    For a lot of those songs I employed iTunes alternative methods.  Sometimes I went to Amazon and sometimes I was a bit more...um...creative.

    I think it's the timing.  My guess is the negotiations were completely when they wanted to do the iTunes upload and the issue was settled by the time the DVDs were being put together.

    Maybe go to it directly, I just tried it and sound is perfect.  wolfpup2000 has the best SPN videos I have found, her editing is right with the music every time. The song tells the story.  Sorry, don't know where you are located, could it just be blocked?  Sucks because it is very funny.

    Songs for me were the usual ... Renegade from Nightshifter, Knockin on heaven's door from Dark side of the moon, Wanted dead or alive from No rest for the wicked.

    Well respected man from It's a terrible life also makes the cut for me.

    But I also loved and listed Space Oddity from Clap your hands if you believehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDiCQBsKtCI , that was such a funny scene... I knew the minute the song started in the background that something was gonna happen and probably something funny!

    This was a difficult choice my #1 Oh Death, some of the others, A Well-Respectable Man, Eye of the Tiger, Knocking on Heaven's Door and Rock of ages but there are just so many great songs
