    Imaginary friends

    Very imaginative concept Funny moments Dean's being a d*ck as usual but atleast he corrects himself

    Loved this episode

    It was a fun way to bring reality to the idea of imaginary friends are real creatures to help struggling children. Most healthy children don't have imaginary friends, so was a warm feeling that someone is out looking for the children when their parents don't.

    It isn't true, but you want it to be true.

    Richard Speight Directs

    Always enjoy the humorous episodes - the Sparkle scene was hilarious

    What a wonderful guest character

    The overall episode is one of those tragicomic tales that the show does every once in awhile. It has the expected Dean humor and the Sam pathos. But it is really Sully that makes the episode. First the concept of Zanna is just wonderfully daft. it is one of the very few times a supernatural being is purely a force of good (chaotic good) in the show's long run. Add in the playfulness that Klein finds in the concept, as well as Speight Jr.'s breezy direction, and this is just fun. But above all they got the right guy to play Sully. Nate Torrence is lovable, innocent, kind, etc. such that Sully is a blithe spirit that is impossible to not love. This could have been cloying but it is moving instead.

    Gets under your skin

    Simply put, this is Supernatural at its best. Supernatural at this point is kind of on page one hundred of the pointless quest arcs, and taking a break to tackle this "talking fantasy because you can't talk directly about big things" is what fantasy is for.

    Great performances all around, great casting all around.
