I'm pretty sure Harry Spangler is a reference to Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters as well.

Bwah! I never would have have caught on to either. Hee.

Now I kind of want to watch Ghostbusters.

I did kind of love the fact that when they were huddled terrified in the salt circle, one of them was humming their own theme song, which isn't much of a step down from Dean humming Metallica when he's scared.

Heh.

All of the dumb moments really made me giggle. "In your duffel bag?" It's sort of amazing Dean didn't do more than slap the camera a few times.

I get where a lot of people missed the boys (and yeah, so did I), but I actually enjoyed this POV. To see this glimpse of them that was so pointedly *not* deep inside their angst, and still hear Sam bitching at Dean about having only two months left, and Dean upset when Sam went missing, and the way, no matter what, they're a *team" to the bone.

Also, worth repeating, best entrance EVER.

Some people thought they were dumbasses, but I thought they were kind of endearing. The theme song was very cute, and I liked the bit where she left the camera up, after Dean asked if looking through it made it easier.

Dudes, dooooods. I know I'm sometimes slow on the uptake, but Ed Zeddmore? Was totally named after Ernie Hudson's character in Ghostbusters, Winston Zeddmore. Thank you, Ben, for that tip of the hat.

Oooh, ha! I caught the Spengler reference, but I didn't recognize Zeddmore.

I liked the bit where she left the camera up, after Dean asked if looking through it made it easier.

Yeah, that was a nice bit. Some of it reminded me of Cloverfield with the "Really, you've still got the camera up??"

SPN Vid to Johnny Cash. (One among many.)

And yet despite that, Sam and Dean didn't make any tasteless homophobic jokes, and Maggie survived and was a bit snarky (I'm trying to ignore the "oh I'm scared please kiss me" business), and Sam and Dean were smart in the end. If a bit unkind to these well-meaning amateurs.

We finally had an Asian female who wasn't, you know, a maid!

Despite being unspoiled, and despite them not showing the writing credits until the end, I was watching (at midnight thirty, because I was on tape delay and had fallen asleep in the toddler bed at ten) and thinking, "If this is not Edlund, I will EAT MY HAT."

My hat, she was safe.

(And while he was doomed, I actually liked that the gay character was the one male Ghost Facer with what appeared to be, oh, social skills.)

I woke up this morning thinking of Maggie, a few years down the line, cheerfully hunting ghosts in her spare time, and running into Sam.

That would be cool.

A couple of people over at TWOP were casting the Ghostfacers! as Torchwood - I guess Ed is Jack and Henry is Owen with Corbett as Ianto and Maggie as Tosh.

Who's Spruce? (bruce? whatever his name was...)
