"Bad Day At Black Rock"
Thursday, 9/8c on The CW

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) answer a call on their dad's old cell phone, alerting them someone has broken into John's secret storage room in New York. They discover a cursed rabbit's foot has been stolen and call Bobby (Jim Beaver) for help.

He advises them to beware of the foot because anyone who touches it will receive an extreme amount of good luck, but once the foot is lost that person will die. Unfortunately, Sam has already handled the foot, which causes an overjoyed Dean to buy lottery tickets, but a female thief (Lauren Cohan) steals it from Sam causing his luck to plummet and putting his life in danger.

Bob Singer directed the episode written by Ben Edlund.

Wow - another episode with a second discussion thread!

And continuing the discussion of the very important matter regarding which was the funniest line in the episode............

**Considering Disobedience** · 12-14-2008, 01:17 PM

Thread number 2!! Go us!

I still can't decide which is actually funnier. Sad puppy, cocky Dean...how do you choose!

thread 2

**Mei Zhuo** · 12-20-2008, 12:54 AM

i know, thread 2

Bee, that's the problem, both lines are so good, we can't choose

we're so torn

Anla · 12-23-2008, 01:55 PM

It's a tough decision, but as much as I totally and completely love Dean, I think I have to go with "I lost my shoe" as the funniest. Poor Sad Puppy Sammy.

**Mei Zhuo** · 12-26-2008, 07:23 AM

'I lost my shoe' is just so funny!

Sam's sad puppy face, and the dejected tone. haha. Dean's eye-roll, too precious

Anla · 12-27-2008, 02:56 AM

Good point - Dean might not be the one to actually say the line, but his response (you can practically hear him thinking "Oh, no. Not this again" like he had to deal with Sad Puppy Sammy so much when they were kids) helped make the line.

**Mei Zhuo** · 12-28-2008, 01:30 AM

I know, it was like Dean was sooo used to it already

Anla · 12-30-2008, 04:24 AM

Which you know he was.

I'm sure Sammy went through an awkward phase when he was growing up, knocking into things all over and tripping over his own two feet.

**Mei Zhuo** · 12-30-2008, 10:59 AM

I would be more surprised if that's not true

I could see Sam being such a gangly, awkward teenager, and moping too, so Dean is probably all used to it

Anla · 01-18-2009, 08:11 AM

Well, it probably took Sam a long time to get used to his height when he had his teen growth spurt.

**Mei Zhuo** · 01-19-2009, 03:02 AM

yeah, and I'm sure he was self-conscious about everything back then too

Anla · 01-25-2009, 02:14 PM

He's still pretty much self-conscious (at least compared to Dean), and yeah, it was probably worse back then.

**Mei Zhuo** · 01-26-2009, 02:25 AM

true, but it was probably worse back then, but lucky for Sam, Dean's always there to help him up, and to make fun of him
