So, I have grown quite found to the somewhat fluffier filler episodes such as this one. Yes, it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine, but it was nice to see the Winchester brothers on a classic ghost case. I like seeing just the two of them together sometimes, it feels nostalgic in a way. It was quite easy to love to hate the klepto comic book nerd that was at the root of this week’s case. He was pretty irritating. I found it to be pretty amusing that he got his ass handed to him by a 10 inch action figure. Though, it would make sense the very thing he stole would turn against him.
I always find it entertaining when the guys find reasons to pick on one another, and this episode was no different. From the comparisons they drew between one another and the comic book kids to the hilarious costume suggestion Dean made to Sam at the end of the episode. My personal favorite of his suggested ideas being Turner and Hooch.
Though I do quite enjoy these type of episodes, it did make me realize it has been awhile since we have seen either Otherworld Bobby or Mary. And given the severity of the situation at hand with Michael it makes me wonder how long it will be until they make an appearance again.
It is to be presumed Castiel sat this one out and was with Jack. Which leads me to wonder if in this offscreen absence he will become privy to Jack’s secret. But I guess we will have to wait to find out about that.
One thing that did spark my interest was the ending of this episode. Is there a significance in the idea of the ghost not really being gone? I doubt it will have any bearing on the greater picture of this season, but it is quite interesting nonetheless. Because, as we know burning things that belonged to a ghost is an effective way of ridding yourself of said ghost. However, wouldn’t everything in the comic book store technically belong to this ghost Jordon? I mean, it was his store after all. I’m not quite sure if I will ever get answers as far as that goes, but it is interesting to think about.
I know it has nothing to do with this episode, but I do have to say, I still have my doubts about Lucifer’s vessel. I have a feeling, he definitely still has some kind of hold on him, and we shall be seeing more into that in upcoming episodes as well. Given he was at Satan’s mercy for so many years it would be nearly impossible for there not to be some kind of cord of attachment that developed between them. I’m looking forward to seeing how that whole scenario plays out and if it may link back to Jack somehow.
But, I feel like we will have another episode or two based on cases before we will get anywhere with the main plots going on in this season. So, it looks like I will just have to be patient while I wait for everything to develop.
