So I have to say something about Supernatural... So far this show, despite being plagued by the utter stupidity that the entertainment industry has been injecting (albeit a lot less fortunately in the last few years), in to it's shows and movies over the last few years is really freaking awesome!

I mean they do an awesome job of bringing to life or bringing back to life urban legends, folklore & myths that have lasted for centuries... Let's just put it this way, I have heard that the show in recent years has taken a turn for the worse... (kind of like what, 'The X-Files' did at the tale end of it's run...) But if this show continues on the way it has so far, then I imagine there is still a lot of fun to be had here with this one folks!

And Episode 5: 'Boody Mary' is no different!

Written by: Ron Milbauer (Alphas), Terri Hughes (Eureka) & Directed by: Peter Ellis (Numb3ers). Starring: Jared Padalecki (Friday The 13th), Jensen Ackles (Dark Angel), Adrianne Palicki (Legion), Marnette Patterson (Starship Troopers 3: Marauders) & Genevieve Buechner (The Final Cut).

This episode tells the story of how during a sleep over Lily Shoemaker (Genevieve Buechner) and her friends decide to play the, 'Bloody Mary' game and say her name in to the mirror 3 times...

Well unsuspecting Lily's father ends up dying that night, but not just dying... He ends up dying in the same gruesome way that is mentioned in the legend of, 'Bloody Mary' in which his eyes are essentially liquefied!

Is Bloody Mary real? Did she do it, or is it something more mundane? Well in comes Sam (Jared Padalecki) & Dean (Jensen Ackles) to find out!

And in the end, these brothers will not only find out the truth about what is haunting this small group of friends, but Sam may actually be able to finally get peace after the death of the woman he loved!

In the end I could tell you a lot of reasons why this episode is great, but I will simplify it and say that this episode had a very, 'horror movie' feel to it, and I thought that was a lot of fun!

Other then that... Well I really can't say that there was to much wrong with it... It is not the best episode I have seen of the series, but it definitely rates close to it! Check it out... I think you might like it!
