Great Beginning Without a Compelling Storyline

Warning: Spoilers
First, I'd like to start by saying this is my first review and it may contain possible spoilers. I never was a big fan of the Ghostfacers idea. I always felt like they were there to be filler, and this episode proved me right. I also feel like this show started going downhill around season 6 or so. With the murder in the beginning of this episode it peaked my interest for the first time in awhile, and I had hoped it would bring back what made it so addicting in the first few seasons. Then I saw the Ghostfacers and it became clear that they're supposed to parallel Sam and Dean and the problems that have been plaguing them, and frankly, it's been overdone. Sam plays games and whines and Dean acts like a self righteous jerk only looking out for himself. I do not like the development of the characters anymore, and that may just be a personal preference. About the episode: it was weak. Very weak. I didn't like the route they took with the monster and

his accomplice and identity. The criminal and plot were clichéd, mainly because it was centered around petty revenge, and (like always) the idiot bad guys left the heroes alone giving them the chance to escape while they left to deal with the lesser threat. There's no reason they couldn't have killed Dean and then left to deal with whatever made the noise. They could have done so much more, and I feel the point of this episode was to just make the audience see that Sam and Dean know they have issues and don't want to end up like the Ghostfacers did when the episode was done. And, I feel if the Ghostfacers should had worn shirts that said "I'm portraying Sam/Dean" respectively, it would be equal to the amount of subtlety these Ghostfacers characters gave off.
