This is the first episode of "Supernatural" I've watched in a long time, since the national TV station stupidly canceled the show after barely a handful of episodes and I had to buy the whole series 1 on DVD. I hate to say it was fairly disappointing. All the episodes I watched before – which were about ten or something – were awesome. The monsters are cool, the scenarios are reasonably convoluted considering the short running times and there are always numerous references towards older and classic horror films. "Phantom Traveller" isn't terrible, of course, but it's just plain mediocre in all the aforementioned departments. The story is simplistic and predictable and the titular demon is defeated easily and in a blink of an eye! Dean and Sam receive a phone call from a former and satisfied Winchester client who works at an airport. He suspects a recent and hugely catastrophic plane crash to be caused by some kind of supernatural entity, and he maybe dead right about that! The so-called phantom traveler is a demonic force that takes possession of travelers with fear of flying and forces them to crash the plane. The malignant spirit's last "mission" failed, however, as seven people survived the crash. Can Sam and Dean destroy the demon before it kills all seven? "Phantom Traveller" has a very rudimentary script and contains only a few tributes to older and more commonly known films. The concept is somewhat reminiscent to the original "Final Destination", what with the plane crash and a handful of doomed survivors, but this could actually have been a great opportunity to refer to the underrated and regretfully obscure mystery/horror films "Sole Survivor" (1983) and "The Survivor" (1981). If you like the idea behind this episode, you definitely ought to look up these two titles as they both deal with unsettling airline disasters and inexplicably sinister events overcoming the unlikely survivors.
