It occurred to me last night after I shut down my laptop that our boys probably actually did the Ghostfacers a huge favor.

I think that not only would they have been thought crazy, but that straight-jackets would have been the least of their troubles: they would have had to explain their dead dear Corbett (name?!), and probably would have been held accountable for his death. I can totally see the police seeing it as a sick publicity stunt and them all be co-conspirators or somesuch.

Juliebird, you're not wrong. If they didn't report Corbett's death to the police, how did they expect to air that episode? If they did report it... how did they explain his death?

I just watched. I think it is odd that my word for the episode was 'cute'. It was fun, not really scary or creepy,a tad too gory. I was hoping for a little more substance.

Beth, I hear what you're saying, and several others have mentioned something similar.

I think this is one of the scripts they had mostly ready before the strike but couldn't finish. They'd also lined up the actors from Hell House, and thought the fans would like the payoff of seeing what had happened to Ed and Harry since Sam sent them off to LA with a prank call pretending to be a producer, and Dean with an unrefrigerated tuna in their backseat. I know I loved that part, seeing HellHounds, redux.

Show has always been about the latest trends in horror films, as well as the familiar legends and lore. I think Cloverfield, in the vein of TBWP, prompted the use of the hand-helds and a single defined space. It could also be that not all the crew had been reassembled, and this shooting style gave them a little extra time to settle in.

For those unaware, JA said in his CTW interview that they gave the actors state of the art handheld videocams and pulled the crew out and let the actors go without rehearsal, blocking, or conventional lighting. He seemed to think the experience was worth the experiment. For one episode, particularly the GhostFacers one, I'm inclined to agree.

I do expect serious depth and drama for the remaining eps, though.

I think I am already in the mindset that the season is over. I knew when the strike was needed, that we would likely be seeing the end of the season. So, for me, these last four episodes are just the secret toy surprise inside. Ghostfacers wasn't my favorite episode, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't the worst episode so far in the series. My worst episodes of Supernatural are better than the best of any other series right now. YSPNMV

It has also been the pattern to hit us with a comedy before reaching for the drama, so I am fully expecting to be overwhelmed next week. Plus, we have the preview of JOHN!

I am not the biggest fan out there. but I think my curiosity/speculation was really hungry....and is still STARVING

I thought this SPN vid was just amazing.

That was gorgeous, Perkins. Although I'm a little confused by the additional not-SPN footage, it works so well. And the song could have been written for the show. Wow.

That was really good. Loved all the Dantesque and Gericaultesque additions.
