‘Supernatural’ season 8 spoilers: See Sam, Dean, LARP with Felicia Day
As excited as we are for “Supernatural” season 8 to return Wednesday night with Misha Collins back as Castiel, there is another episode coming up that we are just as thrilled to see on the air: the one airing the very next week, which is going to feature the return of none other than Felicia Day as Charlie, the to computer genius who this time around will be deeply invested in the world of live action role-playing.
In case you have not heard (or haven’t seen our official synopsis for it yet), this episode is hilariously titled “LARP and the Real Girl,” and will featuring both Sam and Dean getting thrown at least in part into this world. This episode is perfect for Day almost immediately given her close connections to fantasy (see “The Guild” for more on that), and it also crosses over well into an area that “Supernatural” still has a little bit of room to explore.
Hopefully, this episode will contain plenty of what we would expect from an episode all about LARPing, whether it be humor, action, mystery, or references to other geek culture. As a matter of fact, we love the theme of it here so much that we don’t care if it ties into any sort of larger story at all. (As a matter of fact, it may be better if it doesn’t given what some fans have had to say about Amelia over the holiday break.)

LOL Oh gosh… Ron it’s a show,and Sarah is correct in her assessment of Dean’s character development.
I hate it that Nicki Aycox is no longer involved,she makes Meg’s character menacingly sexy.

Wow Ron you have got to be kidding me. You honestly think this guy has become a WIMP? How can you even come to think he hasn’t developed at all? He has changed from being this ‘follow dad, protect Sammy and repeat’ guy and has started to develop his own sense of life. Yes he still loves and strives to protect Sam with all his life, but he is also starting to do things for himself! He is taking his life into his own hands, and is starting to understand that he might have to let Sam live his own as well. He is learning to trust and forgive the people he cares about.
In season 7 when he killed Sam’s friend Amy because she was a monster, even though she never killed humans except to save her dying so, Dean killed her anyway because to him a monster is a monster and they won’t change. Now take a look at Dean no, not even an entire season later: He not only worked along side a vampire, called a vampire his friend, but he has also saved his life on multiple occasions and has given hi the benefit of the doubt. That’s just one example.
What were you saying about no character development?

Sarah, Dean is the character with least character development aside from them making him into a whimp, and chris, Shut your pie hole-Season 1 Dean.

Ron, Dean hasn’t become “a little bitch”. Just because he has toc cosplay doesn’t suddenly make him one. Maybe you aren’t such a big fan of the show, and that’s fine, but if you compare season 1!Dean to season 8!Dean then you will see a little something called character development. Dean has grown through all sorts of experiences over the years, some utterly, indescribably awful, others beautiful and life changing. He has gotten more in touch with his emotional side and understands that talking about his feelings and the feelings of others (Cas’ for example) isn’t something he should try to avoid, btu instead confront. He has changed so much, and entirely for the better.
I’m sorry that you still some how manage to see someone that dresses up for a JOB as a little bitch.
(You must have forgotten the time he mentioned he tried on someone’s satiny pink panties, so I don’t think a knight costume is that ‘bitchy’

Someone please tell me when in the whole series did Dean become such a whimp. I mean you would think Hell and recently Purgatory would toughen him up so bad that he wouldnt dress up like an idiot for this episode. Dean, you didnt wanna dress up in a suit in season 1 but you would dress up as a knight? When did you lose your nuts and started becoming a little bitch. I guess the marines is worst than hell and purgatory seeing as John Winchester never had to do this and kept his game up. Screw this show. I cant belive it came down to this.
