Little Things I Noticed

* This is the ep where Sam tells Dean about his powers.

* This is also the first ep in which Sam's powers really come into play.

* This is the ep in which Sam finds out that Dean carried him from the fire. Apparently he didn't know that all along.

Things I Liked About this Episode

* I loved how Dean was really reluctant to return to their house, much more so than Sam. Obviously it's because he remembers it all and Sam doesn't.

* I loved Dean's phone call to his dad. He acts all brave to Sam, but he's really afraid of this thing that killed his mom.

* I like how Sam is afraid of his powers, very reluctant to use them. He ignored them himself when he had dreams about Jess, he doesn't tell Dean everything, especially when he senses his mom in the house, and his conversation with Missouri at the end confirms it.

* I really like Missouri and all her digs at Dean. Cute!

Things I Didn't Like about this Ep

* I wasn't terribly impressed with the 'evil' things the poltergeist was doing. Locking the kid in the fridge? Come on, that's kind of silly.

* Of course, the kids were annoying in this one too. I mean, I don't like kids, but these kids were way more annoying than the others we've seen so far.

* In light of other episodes, the 'dark energy' stuff doesn't really make a lot of sense...it's not some cosmic evil center, Azazel just stopped by twenty-some years ago to make a special baby out of Sam...
