Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhilst confronting his Professor, Brian says, "I'm tired of being Piggy, I want to be Ralph." This is a reference to the book Lord of the Flies.
- GoofsWhen Dean discovers that pure-blood werewolves can transform whenever they want he is reading from his Dad's journal. Yet before this they always thought werewolves only could turn when the lunar cycle was right. Considering the fact that Sam and Dean have both read that journal cover to cover a number of times it is something they should have already known.
- Quotes
Kate: [about Sam and Dean] Those guys aren't FBI, all right? I'm pretty sure that FBI agents don't say "awesome" that much, you know? And they definitely don't hunt and kill college kids.
Michael Wheeler: Did they say anything else?
Brian Wilcox: Dude, they just sat and talked about how they've been apart for a year. You were probably right about that whole office-romance thing.

Featured review
If a friend asked me...
... to recommend episodes of Supernatural to give them a taste, this might be top of the list.
When we get a Monster of the Week episode we usually get the old bitch'n'moan expositional stuff at the end, usually with the boys standing by the car, probably on some pier somewhere, with sunset, all moody like. This time there wasn't any of that and I didn't miss it. Last week's episode was poor and the overarching mythology has been pretty poor for years now. It's stand-alone episodes like this that have kept the show going this long.
I'm stunned that there are so many other reviewers giving low scores. And more generally I'm a little saddened that TV's well and truly stuck in the serial-soap model. Back in the day you could pick up an episode of Star Trek or the X-files from anywhere within their multiple year runs, and simply sit back and enjoy without needing to know where you were in the plot.
This episode's writer was brave, and the producers were brave for letting it happen and (in my mind at least) it paid off. It seems that it was a hard fight because the episode's writing was honed to a shine, probably as the writer had to try to persuade everyone that it was a good idea by polishing and polishing! I really hope they take more risks but with so many fans of the show preferring to be spoon-fed the rubbish we've been seeing far too much of over the last few seasons I regret that I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
If you had on one hand a pile of all of the Supernatural MOTW episodes without the 5 minutes at each end where the brothers fight and hug, and in the other hand you had all the mythology, and could choose one for your desert island, which would you pick?
