Yellow Fever

This is one of the funniest and most tragic and best mystery episode. It's just overall great. Dean has never been cuter.

I know I'm super late to the party, but I just started watching this show. And it is absolutely the best! My grown kids watched it when it came out (as teens and young adults), and I can't believe I wasn't watching it too. But now I'm spending all my free time binging. I have a life, I have things to do, but this show is SO FANTASTIC, I can't stop! I love these two adorable ghost killers and the writing is absolutely genius. I'm only on season 4, but can see the CGI is getting better and so is the music. And the suspense that something evil is looming ahead for the boys keeps me on the edge of my seat. And I love reading the reviews. What a great community of loyals fans - with great taste!

Sam and Dean arrive in Rock Ridge, Colorado, pretending to be FBI agents to investigate the death of the marathon runner Frank O'Brien apparently by heart attack despite his good shape. After the autopsy and a couple of interviews, they discover that Frank was lately anxious and jumpy and has died scared to death. Sooner Bob advises Sam that the three victims in Rock Ridge have died of ghost sickness and Sam realizes that Dean has the symptoms of the disease with intense fear and paranoia. Bobby arrives in the town to help Sam to find the ghost of Luther garland that has spread the outbreak but the time to save Dean is running out.

"Yellow Fever" is a funny episode of Supernatural, with Jensen Ackles inspired performing a hilarious role. The conclusion with Bobby and Sam vanquishing the ghost is disappointing and this episode deserved a better ending. Nevertheless in the credits, Dean dubs the Survivor' song "Eye of the Tiger" from "Rocky III" and this attraction is a kind of compensation for the weak conclusion. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Febre Amarela" ("Yellow Fever")

Love this show. The characters and the storylines.

All your worst nightmares comes alive, and tries to kill you, but in the end Dean, Sam, Bobby and Castiel always saves the day along with a bunch of their friends.

Demons, clowns, vampires, werewolfs, ghosts and all others creeps you can think of.

God and heaven - the devil and hell.

The fight between good and bad never stops.

This episode isn't the best. More funny than scary actually, but it shows a side of Dean, we don't see much. And the end of the episode is absolut awesome:)

Remember to look under your bed before you go to slerp at night :D.

"Yellow Fever," the sixth episode of Supernatural's fourth season, created by Erik Kripke and directed by Philip Sgriccia, is a captivating installment that masterfully blends suspense, horror, and emotional depth. This episode stands out for its exploration of a mysterious illness known as "ghost sickness," which induces fear, paranoia, and ultimately death in its victims.

The narrative begins with a haunting scene where Dean (Jensen Ackles) is seen running for his life, only to be chased by a Yorkshire terrier, a comedic twist that sets the tone for the episode. The story unfolds as Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean investigate a series of bizarre deaths in Rock Ridge, Colorado, where victims die of heart attacks after experiencing intense fear and paranoia. As they delve deeper, they discover that the cause is a supernatural affliction known as ghost sickness, which Dean contracts after touching a corpse. The episode's use of suspense and mystery keeps viewers engaged as they piece together the events leading to the final confrontation with the buruburu, a spirit that infects victims with fear.

Philip Sgriccia's direction skillfully captures both the emotional depth of the characters and the suspenseful elements of the supernatural threats. The cinematography enhances the tension, particularly during scenes where Dean experiences hallucinations and fear-induced paranoia, creating an atmosphere of desperation and chaos. Notable is the use of lighting to highlight the dark nature of the events unfolding, reflecting the twisted reality of the buruburu's actions. However, some critics argue that the pacing could be improved, particularly in scenes where the narrative jumps between different plot points.

Jensen Ackles delivers a standout performance as Dean, showcasing his comedic timing as he navigates the absurd situations created by his fear-induced hallucinations. Jared Padalecki effectively portrays Sam's concern for Dean's well-being and his frustration with the case's bizarre nature. The chemistry between the brothers remains a highlight, adding emotional depth to their interactions as they navigate the complexities of their family legacy and the supernatural threats they face. The guest cast, particularly Sheriff Al Britton, adds complexity to the narrative by presenting a character who is both eccentric and tragic.

Thematically, "Yellow Fever" explores issues of fear and vulnerability, raising questions about how individuals cope with their deepest fears and the consequences of their actions. The episode highlights the tension between Dean's bravado and his vulnerability to fear, mirroring broader cultural debates about the nature of courage and weakness. The buruburu serves as a metaphor for the external forces that can disrupt human lives, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding. The narrative also touches on themes of identity and control, as Sam and Dean struggle to maintain their sense of self amidst supernatural forces that challenge their worldview.

"Yellow Fever" stands out as a memorable episode of Supernatural, effectively combining elements of suspense with meaningful character development and thematic depth. Its exploration of fear and vulnerability makes it a compelling watch, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with fear and resilience.
