I normally can't stand these type of meta episodes but I have to say this is the best episode all season. I loved it--tv these days has so much in the way of predictable unimaginative storytelling that I love it when I see an actual inventive story concept like this.
All the namedropping and weaving in of "real world shout outs" was so expertly handled and done in such an organic way that you can't fault it--rather you have to marvel at it. I thought they did go a little overboard with the Misha tweeting but the rest just was too much fun to complain about--Genieve, Jensen's old Days of Our Lives youtube clip, Sera Gamble, Eric Kripke, Vancouver etc. Another thing that I don't like about a lot of SN's meta/comedy episodes is that they really aren't funny and the humor is forced and over-the-top but in this episode it was just right and felt natural--to me that is always the best way to handle humor.
This is about the only episode this entire season I am the least bit interested in rewatching.
