Supernatural Reaction 3/4 "Thinman"

Can we just agree that I cannot post a reaction video by Wednesday? It never gets up on time because something or other happens. So better late than never, right? And remember, if you want my reaction as it happens, follow me on twitter @stephtuma where I live tweet every episode.

This episode was AMAZING! I loved it so much. I think the writers sensed we needed a happier episode because we have seen a lot of sadness lately. And they delivered. The boys were all most back to normal, joking about old memories. It was a real old school type hunting episode. the type of episode they had in the earlier seasons. It literally made me so excited. We were able to forget about the number problems for an episode (abaddon, Crowley, the mark of Cain, Metatron) and see our favorite boys in action and not tormented. Dean even smiled AND gave us a "son of a bitch"!  Also, the ghostfacers were back, which always makes for hilarious times. it was a super quotable episode.

SPOILERS AHEAD...PS typing on an off brand super touchy tablet is kind of impossible.

The episode was based off on slender man, but I guess that was copyrighted so we got thin man. Which also did look like the silence from doctor who. But I'd like to point out, slender man did come first. I love doctor who, but supernatural is my favorite and I hate when people claim it rips ideas off other shows, when if anything, it's inspired by pop culture. this episode showed this well, with a lot of references us internet obsessed could related to. When one of the ghostfacers said he had been punched in the feels, I was screaming "THAT'S THE AUDIENCE EVERY EPISODE!" haha

The ghost facers (well two of them) were working the case, which Dean was not happy with. They ended up finding out of the ghostfacers was photoshopping a lot of the evidence to get his friend to stay with him instead of leaving "hunting" for a girl he liked. In reality, a police officer (of course) and a diner worker were in on it and actually posing as thinman and killing people.

There were A LOT of parallels between the two ghostfacers failing relationship and Sam and Dean's. Which I think made Sam at least realize how much his brother cares. It ended kind of up in the air so we don't know what to expect AND they're making us wait 2 weeks again for another episode. AH.
