As I am wont to do, I rewatch episodes and last night, I rewatched Phantom Traveler. As I am also wont to do, I take notes. Most of my Phantom Traveler notes revolved around demonic possession, as this is the first time we see it in the series. Contains spoilers up through and including 2.14, Born Under A Bad Sign

Supernatural: Jump The Shark
(originally posted 4/24/2009)
Hi, me again.
Most shows wouldn't be ballsy enough to have an episode titled Jump the Shark. That Supernatural does makes me extraordinarily happy, because (as if The Monster at the End of the Book didn't prove that) they can still poke occasional fun at themselves, and I feel like that's been missing a lot this season. However, I tribute a lot of that to Kim Manners' untimely death because (and I've noticed this from watching not only Supernatural, but his X-Files episodes and his Adventures of Brisco County, Jr episodes) that he brings a real flair even to dry scripts, and this episode could've definitely benefited from his magic touch.
That's not to say that it's a terrible episode, no. It had some really decent parts, and I'm still digesting how it makes me feel about Dean in particular (although I'm really, really leaning towards "DUDE, STFU ALREADY, JESUS!") so all in all, it gets about a B- from me.

I guess you can count me in as the only person in the Supernatural world who is sick to the teeth of the angels.
I'm not anti-religion by any means. You can have any religion you want, I don't care. Just have it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off over there and don't involve me in it. And yet, Supernatural is shoving it so hard down my throat it's kicking off my gag reflex, and believe me, gagging I am.
They really, really need to drop the angels, let the apocalypse come, give half their budget and somebody's first-born to get Jeffrey Dean Morgan back on the show, and let John rip both his kids a new one and get them back on the path of the family business. Cause, as much as I dislike Dean, he's got the right idea; "Remember when our job was helping people, getting them back to their families?"
Oh, yes. I remember that. I remember that quite fondly, in fact. Shockingly, you and I both agree on it, and I'd love for you to get back to that, too.
