Supernatural - Two and a Half Men

Finally, Charlie Sheen guest stars on Supernatural as a monster who hunts women by flying high and then shapeshifts into a Tiger, all the while screaming "Winning!" - Just kidding!! Talk about nightmares!
Seriously, there is no Charlie Sheen in sight.  Sam actually calls on Dean to help as there has been a rash of murders of young parents and their young babies have gone missing.  Sam interrups the perpetrator before a baby is taken and so decides to protect the baby with Dean's help.
There are some missed opportunities here for a lot of humour with the boys doing the Tom Selleck/Steve Guttenberg schtick.  We get a taste of what could have been but I must remember, this is not a comedy show but a horror and the monster of the week is soon back in the thick of things.  It's a shapeshifter and takes the shape of the boys but also takes the shape of their Grandfather, Samuel Campbell (but I am not sure how the shapeshifter knows what he looks like or what he is currently wearing?).  I must have missed somethign because at the end there is a scene where the boys come up from the panic room and there is a chair with ropes on the floor with blood around it.  Was our episode edited?  Did I drop off for a moment?
A nice twist at the end though with Samuel talking to someone on a phone as if there is someone higher up directing things.  Who's he talking to?  And what did the Shapreshifter mean when he said to Dean that they have the same Father?  Hmm, lots to think about and while this wasn't one of the best episodes, it is shaping up to be a hell of a season.  Welcome back, Supernatural.
Also, just heard that Supernatural has been renewed for a seventh season!  Congratulations guys!
