YES! I used this episode 2 times to show some of my .. let's say, opinionated friends that this show is not the "silly ghost drama for teenage girls" they though it was and i laughed my a** off both times. If I laugh at something 3 times, it has to be good.
My biggest pet peeve with the show is that the Winchesters .. well, they don't learn. I understand that when you start your career as a monster hunter, you might get into stupid trouble or end up fist fighting that monster because you have no weapon, but after years and years .. they are still doing that. Oh no, it's a demon/vampire/djinn/changeling/werewolf/angel/leviathan/whatever, let's charge, get our as* handed to us, and now one of us is tied to a chair, the bad guy is giving his cliche speech and the other one just manages to save everybody. Just.
But .. this is minor. Show me another show that mocks itself by creating vision driven fanfiction (including homosexual fanfiction) with a huge following, about the brothers that they discover by accident.
Anyway, the show is great (at least the first 6 or so seasons are) and any fan of urban fantasy, rpg games and things like the gateway to hell being guarded by a many miles wide train tracks pentagram created by one Samuel Colt will enjoy it.
I'll put my response in spoilers, just in case someone who hasn't caught up scrolls by...
Spoiler for spoilers ahead!:
I basically agree with everything you said. Sam and Dean have been through so much, it's kind of unbelievable when a human or monster manages to get the drop on them. Also, since Sam and Dean have both died and come back so many times, it kinda takes a lot of tension out of the show. You're never worried about either of them dying, because you know the show'll just bring them right back.
I've always thought that they should wrap up Sam and Dean's story in some epic way, and then focus on a completely new group of hunters. That way, you get fresh faces and situations, and there would be tension since you're not sure who will live and who will die, you know?
