A lot of nightmares came out of the Winchesters’ past in last night’s Supernatural, “Repo Man,” written by the always-awesome Ben Edlund. This was one of the season’s best episodes so far, with two plotlines about very different kinds of possession coming together nicely – and shedding light on Sam’s current state of mind. Let’s…

But on further inspection, we’re not sure if the copious side-boob and smoke-monster sessions actually put an interesting plot into this week’s episode. But then again, there were copious side boob and…
