Another Nightmare
3 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Though I like this one better, It's not very different than the "Nightmare" episode. It didn't offer much new info on the story mythology. Other than knowing that there is no precise pattern to track down the psychic kids, It pretty much goes the same way.

Sam's premonitions, about strange people getting killed in a supernatural way, are getting stronger and more clear leading him to another guy "Andy" with the ability to mind control people. Sam is worried about The Yellow Eyed Daemon's plans for him and that he might go dark side. Dean is getting more worried about Sam but he still refuses to admit it to him. They go (against Dean's will) and seek Ash's help locating Andy. Mean while, The sexual tension between Jo and Dean gets more prominent, yet Dean is still pulling away. Later they discover that Andy has a twin brother who is responsible for the murders.

But what I like the most about this episode is the fact that Sam and Dean are starting to act like equals, watching out for each other. Dean is taking care of Sam, worried about him when he has his post premonition headaches, comforts him when he is worried about his fate and protects his secret from other people acting very hostile when Ellen confronts them with what she knew. On the other hand, Sam is watching over Dean protecting him from the mind control twins, keeping him away from them.

And of course, Everybody's favourite part: Dean singing REO Speed wagon. Really Dean!. The guy can really sing. But Sam do you have to be such a fun spoiler?

On the downside, I really didn't buy Weber's motives on killing those people. They seemed way too extreme even for the mentally sick person he was. Also, I don't understand why does The Yellow Eyed Daemon talk to some psychic kids but not to other's like Sam and Andy? And, Why does other psychic guys have more developed abilities than Sam?
