Sorry guys, not as many quotes today as normal. There didn't seem to be as many to chose from to me but of course please add your favorites, especially any I missed that you love, to the comments below. Also added is the quotes nomination form so don't forget to nominate your 2 favorite quotes from this episode for our big quotes contest this summer.
Words to Live By:
Commandant: "Knowledge is power, isn't it."
I have a feeling this is the theme from here on out. With the new Factory of Answers and Kevin actually being able to translate the tablets, it is all going to come down to who knows what and how they use that knowledge. So far this season's quest has come down to a race for information more than anything action-based.
Funny/Snarky quotes:
12. Dean: "Oh my spleen."11. Aaron: "Hey, hey. We're renting here. Renting."
10. Commander: "Fools! You can kill me but you will never kill all the Thule." (Brothers tandem head shot.) Dean: "That's a start."
9. Aaron: "Everybody loves bacon."
8. Aaron: "Yeah that's right. Keep walking you Chia pet."
7. Sam: "Wow, how about just the stuff he was looking at you know the day he uh…caught fire." Librarian: "Does shorten the list a bit."
6. Nazi: "Long live the Thule." (Golem snaps his neck.) Dean: "Or not."
5. Sam: "Are you going to take off the dead guy robe?"
4. Aaron: "Oh my God. These guys are psychopaths."
3. Sam: "We do know that he took on an entire camp full of heavily armed German soldiers and Thule necromancers and won." Dean: "One bada** Humboldt figurine." Sam: "That we have no idea how to put back in the box."
2. Dean: "Well now we know. Paper beats golem, fire beats undead Nazi zombie freaks."
1. Aaron: "What, do you two just break in wherever you go?" Dean: "Yeah well our dad wanted us to have a solid career to fall back on just in case this hunter thing didn't pan out."
Mytharc/Story-moving quotes:
9. Sam: "So that's a golem." Aaron: "Yes. Shaped from clay and brought to life by rabbis to protect the Jewish people in times of….I don't know, general cr**."
8. Dean: "Hey big guy, they're both going to die unless we get whoever cast the spell."
7. Aaron: "He always said I'd know what to do, which is cr** because when I opened the box, this big, naked, potato faced lunatic wakes up and goes crazy." Golem: "I didn't go crazy." Aaron: "You trashed my entertainment center, my water bed."
6. Aaron: "Look I grew up in Short Hills. I cheated my way through Hebrew school. I never really listened to my grandfather, what he was saying." Dean: "So what? He just sends you this…this golem and expects you to work it out?"
5. Girl1: "He was obsessed with Nazis." Girl2: "But he said they were special Nazis. You know, necromancers." Dean: "Necromancers." Girl2: "Yeah like from that World of Whatever Craft that my little brother's always playing." Dean: "Nazi necromancers."
4. Aaron: "When I was bar mitzvahed, my…my grandfather gave me this little old book. It was in Hebrew. It was like an owner's manual for a golem." Dean: "Okay great. Get that then." Aaron: "I…I can't exactly. When I went to high school I sort of drifted, started getting off the academic track and uh, kind of….I kind of smoked it." Golem: "The boy smoked the pages." Aaron: "They were these thin vellumy pages that…I mean it was perfect for rolling."
3. Dean: "Sammy, I think we found a Bat Cave."
2. Sam: "What the hell is that?" Aaron Bass: "He's a golem. Well he's my golem."
1. Sam: "Dean look, I think we might have something here. Something that could help us help humanity. Henry certainly thought so. I mean you know damn well we could use a break. What if we finally got one?"
Emotional quotes:
2. Aaron: "What makes you think you have any right to make that decision." Dean: "Believe me. If we need the right we will take it." Aaron: "Look he may be a pain in the a**, but he's my responsibility." Sam; "Look the golem was built to go to war. You're not trained for that. How are you going to take that on?" Aaron: "I don't know."
1. Dean: "So uh what? Aaron's a JI and you're a Man of Letters now, is that it?" Dean pours them both a drink. Dean: "Good."
Quote Awards:
Best Non-Answer Award: Dean: "The uh water pressure in the Letters' shower room is marvelous." Sam: "Yeah I still can't figure out how we even have water or electricity." Dean: "Yeah well, I am putting that under the ain't broke column."
Stuck in the Past Award: Sam: "I'm making a uh, card entry for our uh copy from the Thule's red ledger for our collection."
Review:
This episode was completely meh for me, basically forgettable. There wasn't a whole lot that made me really excited, except the new home base, and there wasn't much that made my roll my eyes so hard it gave me a headache, except for the gay moment scene. I really loved that the brothers acted like a team and I don't take that for granted since season 8, but comparing this episode to all other SPN episodes, it falls in the middle. That being said for season 8, it is one of the better ones. I enjoyed Aaron and I hope he comes back again, with or without the golem. Grade = C

For me, by far the best quotes of the night was: Dean: "Yeah well our dad wanted us to have a solid career to fall back on just in case this hunter thing didn't pan out." It made me roll. Not too much on the emotional side for this episode but it sounds like next week will more than make up for it.
ReplyDeleteI liked the librarian exchanges and Aaron and the Golem were funny together. Not as many good quotes as I would expect from an Edlund ep. But I'm grading season 8 on a general curve (until I can successfully forget the first 10 episodes ever existed), so not bad. Overall an interesting step forward in rebuilding the SPN universe...let's just hope that isn't a step in tearing it all apart again. I'm putting this whole episode in the "ain't broke column."
ReplyDeleteI thought this was at least a B episode. I save As for myth-arc episodes and very special stand-alones. I thought this was the best monster of the week episode of the season so far. Aaron and the Golem were great.
ReplyDeleteMy fav quote was Dean's "Yeah, well, our dad wanted us to have a solid career to fall back on just in case this hunter thing didn't pan out." (Like Dahne)
The only way this season will be a winner for me is to forget the first eps or have Sam explained, so going with you on grading on the curve. lol
ReplyDeleteYep, when I first watched the ep that breaking in quote was my pick. Picking the second was harder, loved the Bat Cave one, but went with the "ain't broke column".
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the whole ep and Aaron and Golem were awesome, would rather have them back than Charlie.
I loved all the brother dialogue . It was all so wonderfully refreshing after all the tension of past epsodes.
ReplyDeleteI picked.:-.
[Dean: "Listen little brother, let's not go all geek on this stuff okay?" Sam: "Geek?"]
and
[Dean: "So uh what? Aaron's a JI and you're a Man of Letters now, is that it?" Dean pours them both a drink. Dean: "Good."]
I actually loved the librarian scenes too, but mostly because I am a librarian and he was the snootiest bad example of them all. Hilarious! I also was grading season 8 on a curve but now that we seem to be inching slowly in the Supernatural direction, I am hopeful it won't need it.
ReplyDeleteWe are slowly seeing remnants of Dean snark again. Here's hoping it will be back in full force in the next few episodes.
ReplyDeleteI hope we get Aaron back too. As for the "ain't broke" quote, I enjoyed it but if he had said something about a gift horse I would have been ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteThe brothers definitely saved this episode for me. It was in the little moments and the sense that they were finally comfortable with each other. No big grand moments, just everyday details. I missed that earlier and hope we can continue to grow on this instead of having a rift over the trials.
