The Real Ghostbusters

I actually liked this episode. It was both innovative and old fashioned, as it gave up a glance to the old hunts we've been used in the first seasons. Only a show like Supernatural could put its main characters into a convention of the show itself! I figure this episode as a sort of "direct line" with the authors, with them telling the watchers their point of view, as a way to express their concern about the show developing the best way.

The thing I like the most about Supernatural is that I've never felt the urge to make things go in a different way, just like writing fan fiction, I never sensed I would be able to develop better the plot if I were an author; I really like the story and I don't think that if the show is really going to end next year, they will ever jump the shark!

This is probably the episodes most damaged and changed by the later revelations around Chuck. Everything involving his character plays a lot darker now; this episode lovingly poked fun at some of the excesses of the fan culture but now it plays with ever so subtle mockery of the hardcore fans. It is hard to see Damien and Barnes as anything but objects of derision. It feels more like mocking their queer fans they including them in some way. It is a pity because this use to be a near perfect meta episode. Now we are left wondering where the laughing *with* stops and the laughing *at* begins.

Classic ghost, hilarious, drama, this episode is just buckets of fun. Only spn can do something this crazy.

This episode was hilarious, why? It's simple: Supernatural fan convention, and that includes:

-parkinglot full of '67 Impala Chevy's

-bunch of douche-bags dressed up like, using same words like...Dean and Sam

But...it get's better as the two Winchesters find out that there's an actual hunting...and they do the hunting very old-school(seasons 1 and 2 like)diggin',salt,gasoline and lighter...all that with a little help from some Sam and Dean wannabes.

Oh by the way you should watch this episode for that crucial information Sam gets...

Anyway, what i really want to say is that this kind of episodes are here just to fill in the season because the writers routined us with seasons of 22 episodes and perhaps they could end this season in 3 eps but tending to respect the rule they're draggin it with episodes like this.And they usually tend to reveal only one information, for example:

In "The curious case of Dean Winchester"-what Bobby looks for

In "Changing Channels"-who the Trickster is...

Or now-where that "particular item" they're searchin' for might be...

"Rise and shine Sammy! Rise and shine..."

I feel that everyone who criticized the show about its silly episodes are wrong. It's whats making g the show last for 13 seasons. The behind the scene clips of Dean singing " eye of the tiger", "imaginary friend", "the real ghostbusters", etc. The writers have active imaginations that are creative including fun to watch. If it was all seriousness. Then it won't be fun to watch. Their really Talented writers. Name one other show that has the same or similar quirkiness.
