I loved this episode. One of the better stand alone episodes they have done. I personally loved high school themed stories that involve bullies, the underdog winning, an outsider trying to find his way, etc.. This episode had all of that and gave us some really good backstory on both Dean and Sam. I loved the fight between Dirk the Jerk and Sammy. Totally awesome to see DTJ get his ass handed to him by someone half his size..LOL I also liked the fact that the ghost turned out to be Dirk. I had a feeling it was after the attack on Sam in the hall when the ghost said "You got tall Winchester". Still a good move though. The only thing that bummed me out about this episode was no Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It would have been great for him to reprise his role of John Winchester, even if it was only for a few seconds on screen.
On a side note - Can you believe how much the actor who played young Dean looked and sounded like Jensen Ackles? Jeez. It looked like he could have been JA's younger brother. Totally spot on choice.
Hopefully we can get back to the main story arc now. My one pet peeve about Supernatural has always been that they have a tendency to stray away from the main arc and fill up a good portion of the season with stand alone episodes. I want some development on Lucifer, Castiel, etc..
