User Reviews

My personal Favorite Episode for several reasons

I love this episode, I started rewatching the entire series and kept waiting for this episode as it was a memorable one that always stuck out since the first time I watched it. I always find it nice when the boys are finally recognized as the heroes that they are, especially from the authorities that hunted the boys thinking that they were murderous "monster" serial killers. When the people that misjudge Sam and Dean realize that there are REAL MONSTERS out there and the two brothers have been fighting to keep everyone safe all this time you know you are in for a great episode and life altering changes within established characters. We get to see how Dean and Sam deal with insurmountable odds and we also see the fallibility of Sam and Dean as human beings. They often face tough decisions when trying to save lives, when doing what they feel is right to save lives they sometimes wind up with more casualties showing just how tough the job really is and how hard it is on your own conscience and soul. There is also an obvious and expected one liner shout out to Bob Marley I shot the Sheriff ... But I didn't shoot the deputy LOL.
