HEE!
Always love a good dose of META on this show. The hilariousity was brought to us by none other than Ben Edlund, which is awesome, because he gets to write a particularly pompous character close to his heart, “Eric Kripke”, who gets shot multiple times soon after his snotty, self-centered self shows up on set. The whole episode was a laugh riot. Read full story

The first episode back after the winter break gave us a very different view of the brothers than we’re used to. Each had to come to grips with the demons (pardon the pun) they face, in his own way.
I think what I liked best about this episode was that just when we thought we knew what it was about, we were wrong. More than once.
Sure, in the end, the identity of the wraith was obvious, but what’s that they say about hindsight being 20/20? I’m consistently impressed by how original the show manages to be.
First, I want to say this about the episode’s final scene: I loved how it made Dean FINALLY forgive Sam, even though that’s not what it was about on the surface. Dean’s entreaty to Sam, “Are you WITH me?” wasn’t simply a question. It was a question, an invitation, a plea.
Those four words were Dean’s way of saying, “You’re my brother. What’s past is past. We have a world to save and the only way we can do it is together. I love you.” Well, that’s what it meant to me, anyway.
