Supernatural Season 2 Episode 6 No Exit

Sam and Dean investigate the disappearence of blonde woman in a building. But Jo, who disobeyed her mother's orders and followed them to the case, is captured by the ghost of the first known serial killer.

Superb episode. It was amazing and grt. The plot is awesome, the writers did an amazing job. Fascinating episode. And Jo, whos rlly hot, made an interesting part for the episode. Dean seemed to be wanting Jo, and that would have been interesting. And at the end, Ellen was rlly pissed, and we then discover that John Winchester screwed up and got Jo's dad killed (that apparently, John killed the guy, said by demon Sam in Born Under a Bad Sign)moreless

Damn, excellent!

9.5

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Nov 19, 2011

Eerily follows the same exact set up as the last episode, yet it feels very original and hardly a rehash. What particularly stands out is the character development of Jo; really presented her eagerness and ambition to become a hunter well, yet also shows her inexperience and that her desire can't replace on the job training. That was brilliantly executed. The case itself was also nice; using a real life murderer, one of the worst in American history nonetheless, gave this episode of Supernatural even more authenticity. It was thoroughly entertaining right down to its very ending which didn't end in typical "dig its grave and burn its bones" fashion. As if that weren't good enough, even after his death we're discovering more and more about John Winchester and his relationship with other hunters. It's character development galore in this episode! While an excellent episode that fires on all cylinders, the minor fact that it copies almost to the bone the same set up kind of sets it back, but only by a small increment. Nonetheless, awesome watch!moreless

Worst episode EVER!!! The totally worst pile of junk they\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve ever done, the only episode where I rooted for the ghost and kept my eye on the clock begging for the pain to stop.moreless

This episode started out ok with a so-so Scientology joke then quickly went downhill with fan unfavorite Jo taking most of the screen time and forcing poor Sam (a main character mind you)into the roll of coffee boy. To make matters so much worse she comes off a pushy, childish and irritating (instead of just the normal bland tart)THEN gets caught and it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s a race against time to save her. Personally I would have gone out to lunch and let the ghost kill her the SHOW and the CHARACTERS would be MUCH better off paticularly if Ellen and Ash could join her in her dirt nap. Truelly, HATED this episode which is something I can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t say about any episode before.moreless

This episode looked better in the previews but turned out to be a dud.

7.6

By tvfem76, Mar 03, 2011

This episode was for the most part very boring. It was better than Smallville was this week but not by much. Sam and Dean going after the first serial killer was an okay idea. I still do not understand how the spirit was able to get women down into the sewers but just reaching his hand through the grate. Is it just me or does Jo look young enough to be Dean's younger sister instead of a potential love interest? I found her to be really annoying in this episode. There was something missing in this episode and I just could not put my finger on what it was. At the end of the episode I just was not buying the story about John Winchester messing up and Jo's dad getting killed. I think that either Jo is lying or there is more to this story than the writers are letting on at this point in the season. Well I hope that next week's episode is better but judging by the previews I have my doubts.moreless

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES
- After Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki pulled a prank on Kim Manners by shoving him down a phony sewer pipe, he planned his revenge carefully. A week later, Manners changed the shooting schedule to have the boys climbing down a ladder into the sewer system at the end of the day. The ladder was a set piece with no way out and when Jensen and Jared were at the bottom of it, the crew drenched them with two five-gallon buckets of water. Jensen Ackles fondly remembers the prank: "That was a nice one!"
