Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Sam and Dean investigate a series of murders at their old high school. The probe leads the two to recall how Sam was the target of a bully at school, while Dean was the big man on campus.

The 1997 Dean is like a foot and a half taller than 2008 Dean.

Still the actors playing the younger versions are doing a nice job!

And KitchenAides/food processors don't turn on without the lid on for exactly that reason!

Pretty good episode and much better than last weeks.

I hope they bring the main arc back soon.

I thought it was good for what it was. Some pretty funny lines.

Oh, and a "I Spit On Your Grave" mention.

These off-arc episodes aren't bad, in fact I think they are really good (even last weeks) but it kind of stings knowing major stuff should be going down and they're taking their sweet time getting to it. Pick up the pace.

Loved the reference to Heathers.

This was a very good episode. Much better than last week and it brought a little character development.

I enjoyed it but after the ending of "Chris Angel is a Douchebag" I expected Sam to be doing more training with Ruby.

I know they were trying to keep the actor who played Sam from the Christmas episode from last year, but he still looked too young to be in high school.

I just found what could be an early cover art for season four on dvd, this cover art looks bad-ass.

Me too, that was hilarious.

A lot of good stuff in this episode, I give it an A easily.

The younger actors played the Sam/Dean characters perfectly.

I was really hoping for JDM to make a cameo or something

How can he ruin a show already so dumb that "The Soup" makes fun of it constantly?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he skipped a grade (or two)?

Trust me, they found a way... I love JDM when he's used well...there, not so much. Grey's has always been a pretty terrible show, but his return has been the equivalent of jumping 15 sharks all at once.

The first 30 minutes really failed to grab my attention but it really picked up towards the end. I am also looking forward to the return of the story arc.

This may have been my favorite episode of the season thus far (, the Wishing Well one may top it), great stuff.
