I don't get how this episode is so highly rated. It does have its merits but the guy they picked as John Winchester was a total miscast. Aside from being a pretty boy he was a big wuss. John was manly, tough and strong before Mary died. The story was better before making Mary the hunter. As a woman I love strong empowered female characters (I love Jodi and Donna who is the best recurring character) but the writers got John all wrong. They didn't have to make John weak and clueless. A strong woman would never respect a weak guy. That alone I have to knock 7 stars off the rating.
