As I’ve mentioned on several occasions, the best aspect of “Supernatural” is the psychological and emotional development of the Brothers Winchester. Just about every self-contained situation relates in some fashion to the internal struggles plaguing Sam and Dean as they continue their travels. This gives the writers a unique benefit: they can explore long-term character arcs and themes while dedicating episodes to very specific “scary” concepts.
This is where “Supernatural” has exceeded its “X-Files” forebear. As mentioned in the review for “Tall Tales”, I noted that it matched the best self-mocking episodes of that classic by taking the absurdity and relating it directly to the mindset and perception of each brother. There is a cautionary side to the comparison, however. “X-Files” had more than a few “humorous” episodes that never really came together as anything more than a failed attempt to poke fun at someone.
… Read More This episode of “Supernatural” is poised on the edge of falling into that abyss, and that’s rather unfortunate. The main complaint is the lack of psychological and emotional context. Granted, Dean is trying to give Sam a kind of vacation, but it feels more like a knowing send-up of “Scream” or its many derivatives than something that fits into the “Supernatural” mode.
Happy Birthday Jeffrey Dean Morgan!
