Jess, you breaking my heart with your emotional reaction to a grown man’s old childhood imaginary friend was not something that was on today’s bingo card, but here we are. Then again, Pixar already broke all our hearts, imaginary friends-wise, so I suppose there was precedent. Unexpected all the same, though not unwelcome.
Agreed all the way! Adore this episode. I’ve been fortunate enough to get to hear Richard Speight, Jr. (the director) speak about some of the framing choices he made in this episode and knowing his thoughts layers in an even more heightened enjoyment for the whole thing. 10s all around.
Personally, I'm not a fan of this one. I think it would have made more sense if Dean was the one who had an imaginary friend. I just don't buy Sam being left alone that much at that age; we know John would leave both boys but at least Dean was there looking out for him. John had to have made the connection a long time ago that Mary's death was tied to Sam somehow and that demons were probably circling him, so leaving him completely on his own I don't buy it. I also really hate this character Sully; literally told one kid to abandon his family then got one killed because he was careless while playing causing her twin sister to endure that trauma for years. Sully needs to be fired because he sucks at his job, which is taking care of kids. Sorry for the rant, I feel like people give this ep too much of a pass because it's on the comedic side and it explores the concept of imaginary friends which in my opinion they didn't do enough of.
holy crap...50 views in one minute!! SPN scores on a great screamer kid.. again. And brings back my favorite young Dean. GAWD I LOVE SEASON 11! It's Sully time! What would a season be if Dean didn't get to do a word mash up for a supernatural critter.. Manicorn.. soooo Dean. This is another episode that feels like a full length movie.. so much material covered.. so many emotions. BTS.. the Mom with Sparkle on her face is also the woman in the shower with spiders from Bugs.
I like to categorize this kind of episode as something I like to call “what the hell were the writers smoking???” They are either the very best or very worst episodes of any tv show
stopped watching supernatural in 2014, last episode i saw was dean becoming a demon. Decided to rewatch and finish the show. Saw you had a lot of reactions, so i started watching alongside your reactions. Sad to see that I've now outpaced you lmao. I just finished season 12. I'm really excited to follow along with you!
This is absolutely one of my top five episodes. Everyone actors writers did their thing.
Dean nonchalant about thinking Sam is seeing things he like "Ok Sam's having hallucinations again great where's coffee?"
Also Dean: "Great. Must be Wednesday."
Richard Speight jr (The Trickster/Gabriel) did such a great job directing this ep! One of my faves.
For anyone who doesn't know: This is his debut as director on Spn :)
This episode doesn't get enough love, so I'm glad you loved it.

I can't believe this episode got me again!
It's nice to finally get a Sam centric episode. Last season was devoid of them and the episode on its own is a good one too

This episode is so emotional about imaginary friends!
I've been waiting for you to get to this episode. Richard Speight really hit the ground running for his directorial debut.
One of my favorite episodes. The first time I saw it I laughed hard.
