Potentially good but in the end average

The first case of Winchester brothers that involves an actual human being with supernatural powers, telekinesis to be exact, is always a welcomed episode on the first look of things but if i knew it would be like this i would rather pass this episode from a bigger distance.

That kid with telekinesis Max is quite annoying and dreadful, and the reasons of his killings are strong and emotional but not quite made for this show in my opinion.

Also the first time Sam's instinct about the danger his brother is in kicks in and that's probably the biggest highlight of this episode called 'Nightmare' and it isn't far away from being a bad nightmare for producers. Well at least we see Dean take a bullet in his head, which was really shocking, strange and surprising, and i'm sure some people were glad to see him taking a bullet because he is considered annoying for somebody, but definitely not for me, i think Dean is much better than Sam, more interesting character no matter if Sam is half demon and all.

5/10
