Supernatural: "Ghostfacers"

Okay, over my lunch break I had the best time laughing my way through the latest episode of Supernatural, one of my favorite Tivo'd shows (Tivo'd, meaning, I'll watch it during my lunch break).

The concept of Supernatural is basic: two hunters of demons, ghosts, and other evil miscreations take care of family business off the grid and across the US in areas commonly thought of as dangerously haunted or cursed sites.

In this particular episode, they're caught on tape moving in on a group of paranormal amateurs as part of the sophomoric reality show they're filming called "Ghostfacers." (It's clearly a parody of the SciFi Channel's cheesy Ghost Hunters. For my money, Paranormal State takes the cake for best show in the docu-drama/reality scarefest category.)

Anyway, if you get the chance to watch it, you'll laugh like crazy (except for the scary parts; Supernatural's all about the unholy freak out).

I'm pleased to hear that the show will be moving into its fourth season. I want them to solve Dean's mortal dilemma: will his deal with the demonette mean his life will end in just 2 months? Rumors have it next year will be an all-out demon war, but I hope they work with the mythos aspect instead, like the X Files did. That's the way to keep people hooked, if you ask me.



Stay tuned.
