Loved the names---(Dean) Smith & (Sam) Wesson! Dean is so one of Shawn's best friends! Jensen looks hot!!!!! I was a bit nervous when I had read earlier in the year that the Ghostfacers would be back, but I liked them in this episode! Loved the digs at the boys! Thats why I don't like elevators! Dean--Stanford...Bob....Ellen...Jo! Sam--Madison...animal hospital! Loved it! Aww...Sammy trying to convince Dean to fight, then walking away dejected. Sam--now that's the way to quit a job! I liked Zachariah--I wouldn't mind seeing him again. Does this mean he's got Dean back on the right path, that he's going to start coming up from the bottom? It still felt kind of funny after last weeks...I guess I just wanted a little bit more from last weeks. Overall, I found this one very enjoyable (which, personally, I really needed). Loved the boys working in synch together without "knowing" each other, loved the humor, loved Jensen in those clothes , loved the little nuances about the show itself in the dialogue (the names, talking about credit card fraud and bad hotel rooms). It was humorous without being over-the-top.

Dean is so one of Shawn's best friends!Next time I visit you, I want to meet that friend! I've seen the episode. I liked it, but was a bit disappointed by the ending. More later, as I gotta go! I'm having a SPN marathon night with my sister

I'm having a SPN marathon night with my sister Sounds like fun! I want to meet that friend!He's a great guy, but everything about this Dean, from the way he dressed, his house, talking about cooking, his clothes, etc, reminded me of this guy! but was a bit disappointed by the endingYeah, it was a bit too easy. I mean, here is this guy that's got to be suffering from PTSD, and he's suppose to get over it because an angel tells him to quit whining (and, yeah, I kind of had a problem with that)? I've never felt that Dean was whining in the sense of "why me?," I just think it was all too much, and he finally hit the point where he said, "Enough. I'm done, I'm through" (haven't we all had moments where we wish we could just go back to bed and not get up for a week? Then again, none of us have to save the world from the apocalypse! ). The pep talk, I think, could have been better. I felt it was somewhat insulting to what the character has been through (and, yeah, I know, the apocalypse is at hand, and they don't have time for Dean to really deal with everything, but still, I do think it could have been handled differently).

The end was just BAD.
If this was meant to get Dean back into hunting, the writers did NOT see the Dean I saw at the end of the last episode.
First of all, Dean should have been the one finding the hunt. If Sam was there AT ALL, Dean should have been goading HIM into it not the other way around.
What we saw was Sam pulling Dean into this hunt, which is what we've virtually seen most recently. That doesn't prove anything to Dean. It does nothing to build Dean's overall confidence or strength of will. Sure, the heart of a hunter still lies within him, but only because Sam pushed him to it.
NOW MIND YOU... That does WONDERS for my Sam-girl fan heart... The boys need each other. Yes, we know this and love it. But DAMN IT! I'm tired of Dean's codependency. The boy needs a dose of tough love and needs to get kicked in the pants to show himself he's just as good on his own. He's not dependent on Sam. They're good together for sure, but the co-dependency makes me ill.
I wish to high heavens... (listening Castiel?) Dean had seen the ghost, pulled a hestitant Sam into it, fought the thing, done the research and pulled Sam away from the job... like in the beginning, the "old' Dean... Even THAT would have shown me less dependence on Sam to fuel things.
If we see a magically healed Dean, I'll barf. That was BAD Eric BAD. WEAK WEAK WEAK.
Unless, Zachariah is a bad angel too... and he's setting Dean up for even more weakness, which of course, kinda gets old too. He wants Dean more dependant on Sam?
BTW... My mom thought Dean was more hot than Sam. I said, "Good, more Sam for me. Get in line with the others fightin' over Dean. JP / Sam is my soulmate."

Sonja is starting to prefer Dean as well *g* It seems Sam is all yours (although you might have to fight fairy). This episode reminded me of a lot of fanfics I've read (or better started reading; I have yet to find a good one) in which the boys lived another live, grew up differently and didn't know each other. I liked seeing this on screen, even though I was a bit hesitant about it at first. I LOVED seeing the boys working together, without all this baggage they carry around with them now. It was almost like in the beginning, when it was all about the hunt. Except that they didn't know each other of course *g* I also loved seeing the Ghostfacers again. Their website is hilarious The ending ... I don't exactly hate it, but I don't like it either. It's too easy. An angel did it ... is that how everything will be explained now? I had thought it was some kind of spell, maybe the boys had been hunting a witch and came in touch with something that started this. I had it all figured out LOL But an angel? To teach Dean a lesson? Show him his worth? I didn't see how that's supposed to work. Yes, in the end he made the decision to leave his job and become a hunter ... but he made this decision without the knowledge or memory of hell, loosing his family or starting the apocalypse. So I can't see how this has helped him at all. Also ... what the angel said ... I don't think Dean is born to be a hunter. I would like to believe that, if Mary hadn't died, if she hadn't made that deal with the YED, that Sam and Dean had lived a normal live. They could have had a normal childhood and later gotten a job, go to college, find someone to love. There would have been no reason for them to go hunting.

So I can't see how this has helped him at all. Me, either. And as Yor said, if this is how the writers are going to get him back on his feet, it's weak...I mean, weak as a new-born kitten weak. Come on, show. You don't tear a character down as far as they've torn Dean down and then have everything okay because an angel said so. And, really? The life he has is better than the false life they set up? I don't know, but if I had to choose between a) an office job or b) going to hell, being tortured, starting the apocalype, a brother with demon blood, being responsible for stopping the apocalype, I think I know what I would and wouldn't choose. I don't think Dean is born to be a hunterI agree, but I do think he is one of those people, that, had he had a "normal" life, would have ended up doing something that helped people. Remember way back in season 1, he told Sam he wanted to be a firefighter. I do think it's in his nature to help people. Maybe the writers should have gone that route as opposed to what they did. Something someone else posted on another board about Sam that I thought was interesting--in the real world, he didn't want hunting and wanted normal; in the angel world, he didn't want normal and wanted the hunting. If we see a magically healed Dean, I'll barf.Pass the bag... Unless, Zachariah is a bad angel tooUgh, please, just, no. I have a hard enough time with "bad angels" and "good demons" as it is...I don't know how much more I could take. So I can't see how this has helped him at all.Me, either, but I'm afraid that this is how the writers are going to "fix" him, which, I think, totally negates everything he's gone through to get to this point. Send a guy to hell, break him down to his core, but, hey, we can fix it by having an angel tell him to quit whining (ooh, I hated that!), he has a great life, a great car and chicks (which was never what hunting meant to Dean to begin with). Angels really are cold beings in Kripke's world. (and I only had to modify half a dozen times because I would keep hitting post before I was done! ;D) ETA #2: As I was talking to Shawn tonight and telling him what happened in the last 5 minutes and explaining why it bothered, me, I had to ask this--why would Dean listen to Zach anyways? I mean, in the previous episode we find out the Uriel is a traitor to the wings and halo, why would he listen and trust what another angel would say, an angel he's never even met before or even heard of?

Good point, Mick. It's sad, but it seems in the SPN Universe you can't even trust an angel

Since last week's epi was so "heavy", a nice light epi was just what was needed. I wasn't overly thrilled with this one, although I agree Jensen looked HOT in his clothes. And the Ghostfacers were tolerable this time. LOL! The actor who played Zachariah was on Alias so that was a nice tie in for me. Course he played a bad guy.... As episodes go, it wasn't my favorite, but I did LOVE the references: Bob and Ellen as Dean's parents with Jo as his sister (the way it SHOULD be!) and Sam mentioning Madison... ETA: The way Sam quit his job is how I feel some days at work! LOL!
