Amazing episode
14 July 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I just found Supernatural, thanks to my granddaughter. We've spent the last week catching up on the first 6 seasons. I cried at this episode. Misha Collins' performance was simply amazing and heart breaking. I won't say anymore about the plot, but this episode does give some answers as to the actions in previous episodes. I loved it and highly recommend it. All of the actors in this show are truly amazing and the show has become my new favorite. I am constantly amazed at the imagination the writers show in coming up with new ways to tell the stories of the Winchester "boys" as they are called-and I find myself loving the chemistry between Jensen, Jared, Jim Beaver and Misha Collins. I think all of us wish we had someone who loved us as much as Dean loves Sam. Can't wait to see what we have in store in season 8.
