Goofs:

Continuity: When Dean (Jensen Ackles) is in the shower after dying several times, he peeks his head out and asks Sam (Jared Padalecki) about breakfast. When you first see Dean lean out of the shower, his hair is all squished down on his head and there are soap bubbles only on his hand and forehead. The camera pans to Sam and back again, we see Dean with his hand un-soaped, in a different position, his hair spiked and his face covered in soap, without Dean having any time to make such changes.

Quotes:

Sam Winchester: You don't remember any of this?
Dean Winchester: Any of what?
Sam Winchester: This. Like it's - happened before?
Dean Winchester: You mean like deja vu?
Sam Winchester: No, like it's - like it's really happened before.
Dean Winchester: ...Yeah, like deja vu.
Sam Winchester: Forget about deja vu! I'm asking you if it feels like we're living yesterday all over again?
Dean Winchester: Okay, how is that not...
Sam Winchester: Don't say it!

The Time Loop

Dean and Sam head to a place in Broward County called Mystery Spot, a place where the laws of physics have no meaning, to investigate the disappearance of Professor Dexter Hasselback, On Tuesday morning, Sam wakes up listening Asia in the radio; has breakfast with Dean, and while going to Mystery Spot, Dean dies. Sam wakes up again on Tuesday morning and the same situations repeat over and over again, but he is not able to avoid the death of Dean that dies in one hundred different ways. The Winchester brothers realize that they are trapped in a time loop living the same day and apparently with no way out. When Sam notes that a costumer in the bar called Ed Coleman has just changed his dressing, he discovers that a Trickster is fooling around with him.

""Mystery Spot" is an episode visibly inspired in "Groundhog Day" with the brothers trapped in the same day. The story is engaging and entertaining, and the deaths of Dean are hilarious. My vote is nine.
