Synopsis:Click here to read the episode summary

Strange happenings on a college campus has the brother’s mystified and getting on each other’s nerves. Unable to solve the mystery of the killer-ghost/alien-abduction/alligater-in-the-sewer problem while fighting with each other over the computer and the Impala, they call in Bobby to help. His impartial eyes sees this as work of a supernatural trickster who is also playing games with the brothers to keep them from catching him. Cornering the trickster-come-janitor in a lecture hall, Sam has to fight off a chainsaw wielding apparition and Dean, two scantily clad amazon beauties with super strength, before the brothers manage to stake him. Thinking the job is done, they head out of town. But the trickster has tricked them once again and is alive and well.

Praises: This was an hysterically funny episode filled with slapstick humor. I have never laughed so much during Supernatural before. Depicting the brothers’ exaggerated views of each other was brilliant. The scene of Dean stuffing his face had me laughing so hard I was in tears. And having Sam’s lecture interpreted by Dean as “blah blah blah blah” was equally funny. (more…)

Synopsis: Click here to see the episode summary
Sam and Dean investigate two violent robberies that were seemingly inside jobs done by employees who later committed suicide. They learn it’s a shapeshifter after visiting Ronald, a paranoid bank security guard who showed them a copy of security tape in which the robber had the telltale eye flare. Sam and Dean go a bank that is a potential target only to get caught up in a hostage situation triggered by Ronald, who had his own misguided plan to capture what he thinks is a “mandroid”. The brothers and Ronald search for the shapeshifter inside the bank while outside, police, SWAT, and later, the FBI, gather. Ronald meets a tragic end, but the brothers get the bad thing, then cleverly escape wearing a hot new disguise: SWAT gear.

Praises: This was a great episode, the best since “Crossroads Blues”. It was fast paced and funny and there were a few nail biting moments, though not scary. I absolutely loved that the show combined a lot of the season one elements that us fangirls adore. The brother’s wore their hottest disguises: feds in suits and alarm company employees in uniform. If they could have thrown in the priest’s disguise as well, I would have been in heaven. (more…)
