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: Man, I had a weird dream.
Dean Winchester: Yeah? Clowns or midgets?

I love how 'Supernatural' can create a parody and turn it upside down. Sam, just like in the movie 'Ground Hog Day' is reliving the same Tuesday over and over. The episode 'Mystery Spot' pays many homages to the movie 'Ground Hog Day'. One example is Sam catching the Tobasco sauce bottle in the diner. The character Dean even uses a reference towards the movie 'Ground Hog Day'. A funny episode, watching Sam's frustration over the circumstance and how goofy and annoying Dean can be. There is some dark humor in this episode regarding what happens to Dean! A hug plot twist with a character from the past and what is going to happen in the future. 9 out of 10 Still the best show on TV. Better than Jericho.
