Had some issues but best episode since Pilot
2 May 2009 | by (New York) – See all my reviews

'Phantom Traveler' was definitely better than 'Dead in the Water' and in my opinion slightly better than 'Wendigo', of course it can't compare with pilot yet (i mean the Supernatural's pilot, not the pilot of the plane in this episode). It's only the fourth episode of the first season of 'Supernatural' and producers are already making an episode that makes you think: "They ran out of ideas so they make this kind of unbelievable plot?".

Winchester brothers were definitely more investigative and convincing in this episode than in the last two which of course brings a big plus for this episode of the show.

7.5/10
