I like Repo Man because it finally brings back the storyline of Sam's sanity. :P

I also like it because I think the dude who played Jeremy? did a great job.

I'll let you know my thoughts on whether Dean had to be kidnapped once I watch the episode...but you might have a point. This is Supernatural though, where our heroes are often kidnapped when it would be easier to kill them immediately...it's just one of those suspension of disbelief things that a lot of shows have when it comes to their heroes.
