katikat | SPN: 2x12 Nightshifter

You know, it usually takes me some time to write a proper review for an episode but this week... boy, this week, I had to sit down and write one immediately!

--> I read lotsa spoilers and reviews before I watched this episode so I knew what was coming but I never expected to love it as much as I did. The whole setting and plot and acting and music were just perfect. Amazing. I think that this was the best episode of season 2 so far!
--> I loved Ronald. I love this actor in Eureka and he was just perfect here. I liked that Dean was ready to work with him under the circumstances, that it was Dean who was ready to let him in on the hunt and Sam was against it. Nice change of pacing there.
--> You know, when I heard that there would be an FBI Agent after Dean and Sam, I feared it would be too much like the Renegade (with Lorenzo Lamas) or Fugitive or other series like that. But I loved the twist. And the fact that the Agent is obviously enjoying hunting them. I loved his smile when they found the nekkid SWAT people in the closet! Oh, and I also like that the Agent is not underestimating them - he knows and accepts that they are GOOD at what they are doing.
--> And that brings me to Sam kicking ass. I love to watch Sam kick ass and not being just a geek - nothing against geeks there of course. But geeks who kick ass are even more appealing! It was such a great idea to jump the SWAT guys to smuggle him and Dean in the uniforms out of the bank!
--> Dean's expression when the agent told him that they would storm the bank and then hung up on him... Jensen Ackles has the best facial expressions. He is an amazing actor, simply stunning!
--> And one mustn't forget the ending of course. The music was just perfect, the ending was just perfect and Dean's "We are so screwed" comment was just as perfect, really. They chose the perfect song and they fit it amazingly well. I was so impressed that I watched it like twenty times, over and over again! It totally floored me!

And according to Nielsen, Supernatural was the third best CW show this week with 3,32 mil. viewers. Only Smallville and Gilmore Girls were better. The Nielsen guy thought that it was good enough to warrant a third season. And Kripke and Singer were also talking as if the third season was a done deal. And fourth and fifth. They actually mentioned a fourth and fifth season, I'm not kidding. The article is here. It might be a bit spoiler-ish, so beware!
