Trivia
Jensen Ackles appears shirtless in this episode. This was devised by Eric Kripke to meet the overwhelming number of requests he was receiving from fans for Ackles to appear wearing less clothes.

Goofs
The email Sam receives from Rebecca puts the date of the episode in early December. However, later in the episode Dean complains about their having to be up at 5:30 in the morning, even though it is completely light outside. If it were actually December, the sun would not have risen yet.

Quotes
Dean Winchester: That better be you Sam and not that freak of nature!

Hi Brother! Oh... Bother

I did enjoy this one, even though the idea of a shapeshifter isn't very original. It was Still a fun episode.

I have to commend the visual effects here. I thought the transformation "shedding" scene was great, grotesque and unsettling body horror. Also the piles of festering goop. I watch a lot of these types of shows and I felt grossed out by it. This gives the episode more points.

Seeing Dean shirtless definitely doesn't hurt either.
