this is possibly my favorite episode of the entire series. there's something that's so great about this episode and i can't quite put my finger on why.

after the pilot, it's really refreshing to see sam and dean coming together to save the campers. more information is shared about john winchester's journal and the plot thickens on finding their dad, and whether he even wants to be found. in these details, we also start to feel more of the separation between sam and dean in how they respond to their father's 'instructions.' despite their differences, though, they make a really great team and both bring different things to the table.

it was also great to see a branch off from the typical 'ghosts' and 'zombies' in these types of horror shows and see different types of lore from different cultures. my aunt used to tell me stories about the wendigo growing up, so it was really cool to see it being adapted for tv like this.
