It's a shame to me that this show isn't more loved around these parts. Easily, IMO, the best week-to-week show on television RIGHT NOW. Even their "mediocre" episodes easily trump the best other shows have to offer. Like "Heroes", for example.

I would never say that about us who post here, The CW executives now that another story(cutting its budget, never promoting it). Its my favorite show on tv.

It's my favorite show on as well. I can't wait to pick on season 3 on Blu-ray on Tuesday.

The parts with the bear were absolutely fantastic. They were creepy and hilarious at the same time.

"Kneel Before Todd" :lol:

^That was the best line ever. Great episode, liked having Raimi on and the bear was too damn funny... I loved when he couldn't die.

What a bizarre (and hilarious) episode. It was about as formulaic as this show gets and I thought the resolution was a bit weak, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The child actors were particularly fantastic. I also love that they're finding very subtle ways to alienate Sam from Dean...the arc of this season has to be the most exciting one so far.

And cutting their budget for a horrible show like...90210 is even more horrible.

I liked the way they handled the sensitive subject of teddy bear self-abuse.

Agreed. I was super impressed by the little girl, I thought she was great.

Fun episode.

Original Desmond 11-09-08 04:04 AM

yeah great episode, best show on tv

This is how you do a fun stand alone episode

The show works because of the two great leads and their chemistry, solid storylines.

I wouldn't love to see the show have a bigger budget

The teddy bear was great, loved him shooting himself and still not dying

I liked the conversation with the nerd who made the girl love him.

That really is what this world is like. Everyone looks at others and think they have the perfect life, when everyone has their own problems

MrX 11-09-08 06:11 PM

The Bear trying to kill itself, then the shot at the end with the tape over the bullet hole were great:lol:

"With great power comes grr".....BAM!!!!!! rotfl

Another great episode. This next one looks to be quite interesting. The Castiel voice-over was a little disturbing.

Xander 11-12-08 11:30 AM

Yep, another great ep. LOVED the Teddy Bear and "Kneel before Todd!". :lol:

shumway 11-12-08 01:57 PM

I busted out at the Dean and showers line too. I called the Teddy Bear and the stuffing spray, found it disturbingly hilarious as well.

Lastdaysofrain 11-12-08 02:23 PM

This is easily my favorite episode of the season. I've really loved all of Ben Edlund's episodes.

LickTheABCs 11-12-08 03:16 PM

Ben Edlund is just made of brilliance. Between this, "The Tick" and of course, "Smile Time". Anytime his name is attached, I'm all in. Hell, I even liked "Point Pleasant" (don't tell anyone)..
