After the previous episode, an attempt to ease back into production after the writers’ strike, the story gets back on track with this installment. This is all about the shift in Dean’s attitude about his own survival. Unlike the beginning of the season, Dean is feeling every inch of his mortality as his deadline approaches. The frustration is mounting with every new failure, and he’s ready to accept any chance of a come-from-behind victory.

 

I need to preface my comments on this episode by pointing out that I’m a true fan of Ghost Hunters, much like Eric Kripke and most of the production staff for Supernatural. It’s the best show of its niche genre, and I’ve met members of TAPS on occasion over the past few years. I’m also a paranormal investigator, and I’ve seen the kind of people that would put together a show like “Ghostfacers” all too often.
