That was one awesome episode. I loved how Dean was scared of all these different things. the whole cat scream was amazing. jensen did an awesome job.
i also loved the EYE of The tiger end scene AWESOME Cast and Crew
What did you guys think?

i loved this episode. i might have to download it because it's hysterical. the cat scream was hysterical dean being afraid of everything omg iloved it'

There's just so much fun sandwiched in with the plot. I loved it!!! One of my all time favorites of all four seasons yet.

It is by far one of the funniest episodes yet. Jensen's comedic timing was spot on. The continual slide towards terror was very well done. Jared playing the straight man as he watched Dean slide ever closer to being a fraidey cat and truly taking care of Dean rather than exploiting him like you know Dean would do if this was happening to Sam. As I said in another thread, I howled with laughter when Dean screamed like a girl then went running out of the place -- then the look on Sam's face. Priceless!!!! :rotfl Oh and when Marie the snake crawled across Dean's knee...well...I'dabeen outta there so fast!!!! All you would have seen of me would have been puffs of smoke!!!

:thud...towards the end when the boys are talking with Bobby and the boys are standing there..together... :thud ... They both looked incredible!!!

Sam's yellow eyes....they worry me! Don't know quite yet what to think of all that...

Way to go Kripke and Co!! :cheer

Def. think there's some forshadowing in there some where!!

Jensen did an amazing job. And since that's the only nice thing I can think of to say, that's all I'm gonna say! :lol: Here's to next week!

Loved the episode. It was funny but had its angsty moments too. It was like the perfect Supernatural show with scenes where I laughed my ass off followed by a scene that had me anxious for Dean.

The whole scene with Sam being yellow-eyes was just freaky, telling Dean how it's about time he dies and how he's going back to hell. But it was the ending that got me. Here Dean is having hallucinated Sam with yellow-eyes and he's all prepared to tell Sam the whole thing but then sees the yellow-eyes on Sam again just for a second. Was it another hallucination, a remnant from the ghost sickness? Or did Sam's eyes really flash yellow like Jakes did in AHBL2?

I thought this episode was the single worst episode of the show, ever. It was well acted, Jensen did a great job but I hated this episode. They actually made me hate Bobby in this episode. Could he and Sam have seemed any less concerned about Dean? And they were so condescending at the end. And being a "dick" as a reason for getting the disease? And Sam and Bobby apparently thinking this is really funny. Sam seemed sort of mildly put out that Dean might be dead in 2 hours and that was it.

This was written by new writers and I thought they wrote all the characters very badly, like, like....cartoon characters(and I don't mean the complex deep type :) ).

Totally disagree with that statement. Dean would never exploit Sam if this was happening to him.

Eye of the Tiger was awesome though. Best part of the episode in my opinion.

I totally disagree with you Maywitch but that's okay!! :lol: I believe if Dean had the opportunity to play with Sam a bit he'd do it in a heartbeat. Not maliciously...but in a big brother way.

I didn't think they were condescending at the end. That's just how guys talk to each other. "Awww...he's adorable." That was funny. :lol:

However, as much as I laughed and appreciated the sense of foreboding with Sam, something felt a little off about it. Like it wasn't directed well. Something seemed missing. The ghost wasn't at all scary. He was vanquished too quickly without enough effort for me.

Oh well, they can't win 'em all.

I thought it was great!! :D

okay I loved this episode for the fact that it was fun... I think we should laugh now for I think that you know what is about to hit the fan!

Interesting that in this fun episode we get some insight. Some forshadowing.

1. Sam oh Sammy what is Dean going to do... was that his worst fear or the future he knows is down the road if he does not stop him.

2. Lillith she reminds him how long he was there "40 years Dean, 4 months is 40 years"

3. Lillith also lets the audience now that Dean remembers more then he is letting on.

4. The dogs barking...

5. Last but not least what Dean doesn't say... reminds me of the whole can't tell Sammy what Dad said. He is going to save him or have to kill him, that is the scariest part of all.


I was just in aww of Jensen once again the layers of his acting from funny to scared to pissy, to awkward in a short time.

Jared was good too his straight lace was great.

I agree though I was a little peeved that the idea that Dean was going to die again was not so urgent. That was a little off.

The Jensen extra.... brilliant! I have to say I was disapointed I stayed spoiler free and thought we might get more episodes or early renewal. I will take an early gag reel thought :rotfl

This was the first one of the season that didn't "wow" me JB. I loved, loved, loved the previous five, but the ghost in this eppy just fell flat to me for some reason. Not that there weren't some awesome moments. Jensen cracked me up as usual, and Jared looked yummy enough to eat in that denim shirt at the end. The episode as a whole just felt a little "off." The preview for next week looks awesome.

With reguards to the dick line, I don't think it was so much the writers trying to imply Dean was a dick, but what the ghost saw.

I really enjoyed this eppie! Dean was hysterical throughout. Kudos to Jensen for his Eye of the Tiger scene.

ITA. Bobby line was perfect. The way the acted reminded me of Dean at the end of BUABS when Dean teased Sam about having a girl inside of him for a week.

This eppie totally makes up for the fact that the Phillies are losing tonight's game.

it was seriously great IMO!

That whole 'dick' things wasn't the whole reason why that happened to Dean...it was mainly because they scare people doing what they do...more Dean than Sam obviously because Sam didn't get infected and Dean did. They was concerned about Dean in the end...thats why Bobby and Sam were trying to get rid of that ghost.

I thought it was an awesome episode!

I was actually thinking that maybe it was like in Croatoan where Sam wasn't infected. Maybe Sam can't be infected by supernatural viruses and such because of the demon blood.

I thought it was a great episode!! Dean great as usual and loved Sammy when they went to see Luther's brother... He was such the BIG Brother with Dean!! :wub:

This episode had me laughing my ass off! I had such a bad day at work that this episode made me forget what the bad day was about!!??

Overall loved the episode and the characters!! :cheer

from Wicca....I always love the brother moments. I like SAM was surprised that Bobby can speak Japanese. Is it me or is there anything Bobby can't do? I mean Bobby attimes seems to be more than human? What is it about little cute girls and Supernatural??? I loved Jensen and Jared's acting.....like always. Was very happy to see alot of Jared in this episode. The very end was sad....because Dean did see a glimpse of those yellow eyes....Sam's eyes did go yellow at the end , and it wasn't a reflection of the sun. (I guess Sam will be eventually be having the eyes of a yellow demon)....and Dean the eyes of a tiger that might to hunt his little brother and maybe at Castiel's orders be forced to kill Sam.....something we all know that Dean won't want to do. :( Dean telling Sam that what he saw isn't something that he can't handle was very sad...because the look on Dean's face was that of ...Ok...now ...Iam worried? :unsure: :huh: :(

from Wicca....I didn't think too much of the monster . Like other's have said ...he was killed off too easily. This episode too is another example...how a good person became a monster. This episode echoes the events destined to come in the near future. Sam will turn...into an evil monster and Dean might have to kill him. :( :huh: :unsure: :o

Well Jensen did a great job and I really felt for Dean but that is about all. This may have surpassed Ghostfacers as the worst episode ever. It felt like lets make Dean look as whimpy and ridcolus as possibly and tear him down. It was just pointless to me except the stuff with Lilith which was truely scary.

I hated how useless Dean was and the fact that the fear a man who went to hell is something to be ridaculed and laughed at. Sam had some good moments but otherwise I was unimpressed and I doubt Dean would have found it amusing if Sam or Bobby where in the situation.

We get it show Sam is awesome and Dean is a dick that is why he is always torn down. Man what a crappy message.

I would like to whipe this episode from my brain and solider on to next week.

There was so much goingn on and so much foreshadowing that I am going to have to watch it again to catch things I may of missed. Overall I enjoyed the episode. It was funny yet intense. Jensen nailed it again.

Ohhh..good point!!!!! I hadn't thought of that. Then those yellow eyes flashing at the very end????? :blink:

That's what I thought as well!

Wonderful episode! I've heard a little about ghost sickness, but the treatment here was so much more interesting and creative than the lore. I thought the script was one of the best of the season--cleverly plotted and fast-paced. The dialogue was sharp, snappy, and hilarious. Also, the writers did a terrific job of maintaining the comic tone, despite the serious underpinnings.

The direction was first-rate; I loved the multiple locales and the many, swift shifts in mood, reflecting Dean's feverish fears. I was also blown away by the excellent special effects; the scene of the disintegration of the ghost as he was dragged until only his head (briefly) remained was amazing.

Jensen is always splendid, but this episode really showcased his astonishing versatility and range in comedy. How many moods did he cover in this single episode? Forty? Fifty? And each of them was utterly convincing. After three seasons of such incredible performances, for him still not to have an Emmy for SN is a travesty of justice. Jared and Jim were also superb. They had a difficult challenge here: Sam and Bobby were on the verge of losing Dean (again), but for JP and JB to have played their roles too seriously would have undermined the comic spirit of the episode. As it was, the actors struck the perfect balance between humor and gravity.

As for the prank on Jared after the episode....Well, maybe Jensen shouldn't give up his day job and go on tour quite yet, but his "concert" was an awesome surprise for fans (thanks, SN!) and a complete riot. (How in the heck did he climb through that window so easily???)

By the way, I also liked the way the episode slipped in baffling question. What was it that made Sam immune to yellow fever, but Dean susceptible? At first, I thought Sam's demon blood protected him, but Sam seemed to think it was Dean's ability to inspire fear in others that made him vulnerable. More puzzling, Lilith (or Dean's illusion of Lilith) suggested there was a deeper reason why he and not Sam became infected. Any ideas about this?

Just saw your post, lala. Maybe I misunderstood. I thought Sam indicated it was something else about Dean that got him infected--something he had in common with the others. Was Sam suggesting Dean is a bully? Was that the reason for Lilith's references to hell? Maybe Dean doesn't want to remember something he did down there. I hope he didn't turn into a dick (torturer?) in hell.

I loved it! Thought it was original and funny. Loved the "Dick" scene. Always Happy they brought Bobby back to help with the hunt and glad to see Sam come up with the plan to save the day. I loved the ending with all 3 guys standing around drinking beer..Dean goes "I'm ready to hunt" Sam says "Awww" and Bobby goes "He's adorable." Thought that was cute. Loved,Loved,Loved the last scene with Jensen singing Eye of the Tiger (playing air guitar on his leg :lol: ) and Jared laughing in the background. So Cute!

And why would the ghost see that in Dean and not in Sam? I've found Sam to act incredibly dickish on occassion(Nightshifter for one comes to mind but there are others). The ghost went after Dean because what? He uses crude language sometimes and his sense of humor isn't for everyone? Dean's no more of a "dick" than Sam is so that explanation doesn't cut it for me. The whole episode did nothing but put Dean down - even Dean himself, he's talking about how he must annoy Sam(meanwhile the only thing about Sam is an inability to control certain bodily functions sometimes? Because otherwise Sam's so perfect right?) Bobby acted like he could barely be bothered, he had some free time so he decided to drop by and help Sam save that silly dick Dean. Sam acted more concerned about trying to save Jack in Metamorphosis than he did about his own brother here.

Comic or not(bad idea for a comic episode, IMO), the concern should have still been there. Dean's managed to do it in "funny" episodes where he's worried for Sam. The episodes were still funny. Bobby and Sam acted like they could barely be bothered.

I'm really tired of the writers dragging him through the mud, while Sam remains basically pristine, no matter what his choices, it's always "right" in the end.

I totally loved it. Jensen had me in hysterical laughs from beginning to end, with just the right amount of angst and trepidation... I LOVED LOVED LOVED the little dog with the pink bow chasing Dean... I thought I was going to throw a lung I laughed so hard...

And I know we all suspected it, but now we know that Dean remembers more then he's letting on and that time definitely moved differently in Hell.. I realize that he was hallucinating, but I think all these facts were surfacing from his subconscious.. I can't wait to see how this all plays out and the big reveal when Sam finds out just what Dean remembers...

And I loved the way they got rid of the ghost at the end... it was different and new.. very cool idea...

And I loved that they spoofed on Jensen like they did last year with Sam and BDABR. They both have comedic chops! And their timing is just awesome... They both play off the other so well.

And the fan surprise gag reel at the end... OMG! Total riot! Jensen is "so adorable!!" LOL

A new level of suckitude. This episode was awful. It's interesting that we are told Dean was infected because he's a dick and a bully--this man who has spent his entire life protecting innocents and saving lives--and yet it was Sam who acted like a dick throughout the entire episode. Gee, Sam, could you have acted a tad more concerned when you said that your just-back-from-the-dead brother had 24 hours to live? Or how about when you got down to 2 hours? And maybe, knowing the nature of the infection, you could have canned the eye-rolling, smirks and annoyance? Whaddya say?

Was it Fresh Blood where Sam said about how much he's always respected and looked up to Dean (apparently, Sam suffers from a short retention span, because he completely forgot how he sneered at Dean through most of season 1)? After this episode and Sam just jumping right on the "dick" and "bully" crap? There's no way I believe that Sam respects or likes Dean at all.

When you add into that, that Sam was written like a Marty Sue here, it seems as if they're going out of their way to make me dislike his actions and attitudes.


Let's not forget that our two heroes--Sam and Bobby--took the ghost of a handicapped individual who was victimized and killed horribly in life--and did the same damn thing to him in death. That was being cruel and uncaring, and a bully and maybe even a dick. They should have found a better way.

So new writers. Cue Sammy Sue. Amazing how that happens every time.

Jensen, however, is so completely adorable throughout the episode. That and the promise of his rendition of Eye of The Tiger was the only reason I didn't flip the channel to Grey's.

But man Jensen hamming it up like a cast member of HSM on crack was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. :wub: :wub: :wub:

I thought it was over the top but it was meant to be.. Dean running from the Yorkie, was priceless. The ending though, was great, Jensen on top of the Impala was funny...

I didn't find Dean to be a dick, nor do I think this is what the writers felt either. I am thinking Sam was immune to the whole thing like he was in Croatoan... Dean was not useless, but in fact they were playing on his fears, hello it's called Ghost Sickness, it plays on people's fears. Dean was supposed to be running scared.

Sammy was irritated because he was trying to get the job done, and Dean wouldn't help. (not Dean's fault) But I do feel Dean would be just as irritated if it was the other way around.

Of course some people will find something to bitch about, because Dean wasn't written as perfect. ;)

April

Well said April!! I agree that I have ever felt that Dean is dick nor do I feel he was portrayed as one.

Lol, omg, I thought it was awesome! I loved it. Dean was so freaking funny, and how he scream like a girl. :rotfl But Sammy havin the yellow eyes was creppy to me, and I never thought Sam could be the next yellow eye demon. :unsure: Once again, idk what to think.... But it was awesome, and the last scene was soo cute :wub:

Sam's eyes flashed yellow at the end? Gotta rewatch the show tomorrow and slow down the tape.

Dean slowly going insane was hilarious! His reactions to the cat, snake and ghost were perfect. The hallucination of Sam going demon was creepy. Sam's confusion with Dean acting paranoid at the beginning, his irritation with Dean not wanting to go into the saw mill with him and finally running away were spot on.

Bobby knows Japanese. Cool! Does anyone know what he said? I laughed when he and Sam bugged Dean about being scared at the end. Typical guy thing to do.

All in all a good episode with some great lip synching at the end. :cheer

GOD everything about it was pricless. I literally laughed so hard that I had to go to the bathroom. *laughs* Seeing Dean in that position was comical; I have a new favorite scene. The cat "That was scary!" bit. OH HELL...LOL

And seeing Sammy taking the lead throughout most I had to admit that I loved. Such a new twist and it was exciting. :) BUT MAN...the flash of the yellow eyes at the end again when he asked Dean what he saw...Christ that made me sit up on the couch and out loud say "Holy S&#T."

Getting worried now. :(

Why thank you, but damn the complaining is getting old.

April

Actually Dean has. BDABR anyone. Dean was really annoyed with Sam when Sam's luck turned bad. Just to point it out.

Awsome episdoe. Very funny. Dean running from that little dog cracked me up as did the scene at the end. Ah he's adorable.

But Dean was in hell for 40 years. ANd he remembers all of it. And Dean has huge fears of Sam going darkside. Ouch. Was that eyeflash at the end real, or was Dean just seeing things? Very cool.

Yes it is. So are the conspiracy theories. The new writers are not out to ruin the character of Dean. But then to some people if Dean is portrayed as anything other than a perfect martyr then the writers are out to destroy him.

Oh yeah seroes, Bad Day I totally forgot that one. Yes Dean was irritated with Sam on that when his luck turned bad.

Irishgirl- I am so glad, I'm not the only one who sees this. Dear god, no one is out to get Dean.

April

You're not alone April. You just have to remember that if Dean is seen as anything other than perfect some people are going to be upset. As soon as I heard the dick comment I thought oh lord, people will have a field day with that one.

We have vaild reasons for this and if you do not feel that way fine but please do not dismiss those who do. This episode for some fans was a total disgrace to Dean and to imply he was a dick or have his fear played as a joke was sure not a good way to treat the character and I suggust new writers study up on the show and the character before they write because none of the characters where themselves or likeable in this not just Dean but at least he was infected.

I am tired of some making the asumption that because we are unhappy that they portrayed Dean as a cowardly, wussy character who was infected because he was a dick and Sam is not that we want him to be pefect. No one said that but they never treat Sam's fear as a joke or have Dean so whatever and nonchelant about Sam almost dying or implying Sam is targeted because he was a dick so it does make some upset to see Dean a lead hero who is just as good a person as Sam treated this way.

We just want Dean to be treated with Respect and to have his dignity and the show focas more on what a good person Dean is instead of saying he deserves this and tearing him down. Dean will never be perfect the show makes sure of that but wanting him to not be a joke and treated with the respect he deserves is diffrent then wanting Dean to be perfect and should not be too much to ask of a lead hero.
