Well, being the avid Battlestar Galactica fan that I am and knowing how SN episodes typically abound with pop-culture references, I was rather disappointed that the writers couldn't find a way to work in a nod to BSG. Other than that, though, this week's episode was great!

I enjoyed the dichotomy between Sam being generally sympathetic for the plight of trapped souls as opposed to Dean's view of them all just being another job, especially given the Haley Joel Osment parallel. I also really liked how the Sixth Sense tie-in was two-fold, encompassing the awesome twist at the end, where everything was not as it seemed with the person they were helping out.

The brothers' portrayal was exceptionally good in this episode with regard to the Great Unknown and crossing over, remembering the fact that both their parents as well as Sam's girlfriend have a;ready themselves made that journey, and their reactions reflected the way in which each of them felt about their loved ones' passings, with Sam becoming contemplative while Dean became more withdrawn and focused on the hunt.

All-in-all, another solid addition to an already great season. Keep up the stellar work, SN production team!

This was by far the most disappointing episode of the entire series. 90% of the plot was painfully evident barely a quarter of the way through, with the answer to "whodunit" made quite clear just passed the halfway mark. Even the means of proving the perpetrator guilty was revealed to the audience almost fifteen minutes before Allison figured it out herself. There were simply no redeeming qualities to be found for the terrible lapse in writing shown here.

I was thoroughly shocked to witness such poor plot-work. However, Medium still remains an otherwise excellent and compelling show. This episode was clearly a fluke and should not be held against the show as a whole.

I mean, I understand that they just had a silent clock in the last episode and don't like to use that device often (not even one-per-season, as I don't recall one in season 4). But seriously, it's TONY ALMEIDA for Pete's sake!!! I'm peeved at how his demise was so very lacking in honor. :( But overall, a decent episode, finally doing away with annoying Lynn while still giving him the chance to redeem himself first.
