Supernatural - The French Mistake

The second episode of Supernatural this week is probably one of the best episodes of the show ever.  It was absolutely hilarious!  The story has Sam and Dean being visited by Balthazar and Castiel who are running from Raphael.  Balthazar gives the boys a key to where the weapons of heaven are stored and then sends them to an alternate reality, where they are Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles staring in a television series called 'Supernatural'!!  There are so many in-jokes on the actors real lives, like Jared being married to the actress who played the demon Ruby, just like in real life and Misha Collins tweeting like crazy, which he loves to do!  The director is Robert Singer, who the character Bobby Singer is named after and even the original show runner, Eric Kripke makes an appearance.  It's hilarious as the boys try to 'act' in a scene.  Misha is brilliantly funny and it just shows how silly they must all feel while they make this show sometimes.
Magic doesn't work in this world and they have no idea how they can get back, when one of Raphael's angels gets sent back to chase the boys and goes on a killing spree. 
This was clever television.  It would have been very cheap to make but ended up being one of the best episodes ever.  Loved this!
