What's the difference between ghouls and shapeshifters? They both take over their victims' visage and memories... But 'shifters don't eat their victims and they are allergic to silver. But that's it? *scratches head*

And SPN's ratings: 2.76 mil., 1.1/3 - on the one hand, ouch; on the other hand, everything was down last night and by down, I mean down - CSI and Smallville hit series low with 14.45 mil., 3.6/9 and 3.05 mil., 1.3/4 respectively. Now, that's what I call OUCH!

The ghouls didn't make much sense to me at all, really. If their staple diet is corpses, they would have no need to take on the memories of victims - it's very nonsensical. But they were merely plot devices, rather than logical mythology.

Hm, maybe the ghouls didn't know that they could do that because they usually eat dead people? Maybe it should have been pointed out that they didn't know that they could take on other people's visage and steal their memories because they usually don't eat the living?

Also, I think that with shapeshifters, they stay the same inside, just their skin changes but with ghouls, they basically become that person? Who knows...

They seemed to have done it deliberately, though, so...who knows. Basically, they were illogical devices constructed to serve the plot, rather than representing a coherent and plausible mythology. But the rest of the episode was so strong I can forgive it!
