Twelve minutes in and finally Sam and Dean make their appearance. They’re cussing! Oh, pretty please, Mr. Kripke, can we see this every week? I don’t care if it gets bleeped out. That seems like a more normal reaction to me when two guys face all those nasty things that want them dead or worse, tied up and forced to listen to Lesley Gore in a party hat, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Of course Sam and Dean did their homework, and death is looking pretty certain for everyone, except we know that won’t happen. We get our first introduction to a death echo, which seems typical for a haunted house, but it was a cooler term than “ghost”. The red shirt this week is Corbett, who disappears exactly when Sam and Dean said someone would. As a result, we get a Sam hissy fit! I loved the Grand Canyon reference, giving us continuity from “Croatoan”. If anyone reads Krikpe’s interviews, look for the actual visit to the Grand Canyon in season six.

The overexposed images of the Morton House were a great touch, yet another minor detail to remind us that despite the whole ghost thing and Sam and Dean’s obvious worry, this is a cheesy reality show. The deer head appears! That’s its seventh appearance in this series (thanks to SupernaturalWiki for keeping track). Through some quick investigation from our boys, the MOTW turns out to be a supernatural pervert. Ewww is right. Anyone else notice how Dean’s eyes lit up every time the flashlight and camera hit his face? Yeah, I’m sure a million or so of us did. No time to enjoy though, for there’s more shaky camera work, more high readings, a grainy screen, and oh no — Sammy’s gone! Who didn’t love the “Ghostfacers” logo popping over Dean as he was yelling for his brother?

Farmer Takes A Wife? Uh… just… no. Yes, I had to watch the stupid commercials this time since I was watching live.

Back to the episode, and no matter what horrors, the cameras kept rolling. They were facing certain death, but the cameras made them feel better. I know, Dean, I thought it was ridiculous, too. What’s a bad reality show without the cast drama, and we got it here, with Harry and Maggie getting it on while a stunned Ed discovers them. I always hate it when reality shows do that, so I giggled at the obvious setup here. They also included later the must have “someone has a big sob story that must be revealed.” I’m shocked Dean almost told Spruce about the deal, but in true character, he stopped himself from falling for that typical reality show trick, complete with several F-words. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki had to have a field day with that.
