The plot itself was wonderfully ridiculous. Don’t think I didn’t notice that all the murder weapons from the game were shown at one point or another during this episode! I was particularly tickled by the random appearance of the wrench. I was also really amused by all the references to the game Clue. If there’s one thing Supernatural does well, it’s repurposing pop culture tropes for their own purposes. I think the writers of this episode intentionally played on the storytelling conventions of mystery novels. It’s the core of the mystery genre!Īnyway. I never get tired of reading about or watching the hunt for a murderer at an elegant house party in a richly-appointed mansion. And, there’s nothing I like better than a cozy mystery. It reminded me of an Agatha Christie style cozy mystery. I think the best word to describe this episode is charming.
