Review:
This episode does everything an episode that isn’t I guess arc related should do. It stretches and exposes some more info on our heroes and background into why they do what they do. At the same time allowing us to see cross references between brothers and victims in the show. This episodes evil wasn’t anything to extreme but worked perfectly in showing us the bound between brothers, both in the Winchesters and the little brothers used in this episode. It was great to see the father in the flashbacks and was also nice to get some more looks into the character that is Dean. Everyone so far is always questioned why he is so yes man to his father. After this episode its pretty easy to see why he pretty much does as he is told. The way this episode was filmed with the transitions from the past to the present and the present to the past was fantastic. Not an amazing episode but an episode that when you actually get deeper into the show really works well.

The good, the bad, and the Frightening.
Good: The Piano score in this episode was brilliant. That and a Dad sighting is always awesome.
Bad: apparently it was relevant to shot the bad guy in the head, up until after they shot him in the body numerous times.
Frightening: I know as a child, I found myself always scared of the window and the wind. Brought back memories.
