Supernatural - Fallen Idol, S05E05

I love how a show that has a serious plot line going on, like...um...the apocalypse, can still have stand alone episodes where our heroes, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), get to fight a god who has taken on the form of Paris Hilton*.
And the episode finished with the promise that we would continue to get these kinds of episodes, which are my favourites.

The episode started with the problem, a guy and his friend, Jim, (played by SGA's Paul McGillion*) are going to go for a ride in James Dean's car. Jim goes to get the video camera, and when he returns, his buddy died in what seemed to be a car accident, though the car was parked the entire time.

Next, Abraham Lincoln appears and shoots a civil war historian in the head. And Ghandi, though in life he was a fruitarian, tries to take a bite out of Sam's neck. Luckily Dean burns Ghandi's spectacles, and the ghost disappears. He thinks the case is closed, and wants to move on. Sam is not so sure.

Turns out, Sam was right. A girl has gone missing, apparently taken by Paris Hilton. Since Paris Hilton is not dead, the boys realize it can't be a ghost. It turns out to be a god.

Have to give Paris Hilton some credit for taking on a role in which we delight because she beat up Dean, and we get to mock him for it, and Sam chops her head off. Sort of like how some people saw Repo the Rock Opera just to see her face fall off.
We also got a reference to House of Wax, in which she starred with Padalecki. I recall they also mentioned Gilmour Girls once, but I have no recollection of mentions of shows that Ackles was in, such as Dark Angel. Maybe I just never noticed.

This episode was pure fun and had a happy ending for most (not for Paris Hilton - after the god disappeared, the local police put out an APB to find the supposed kidnapper). Did you enjoy it?
