Question about tonight's episode (spoilery) spn 7x18

[growyourwings]

I give.   

Just WHO is DJ Quails?  I feel like I'm failing some geek test because I can't figure it out.  I was mildly curious after the original Garth episode, and since he was exchanging tweets with Jared.   And then before tonight's episode I looked him up on IMDB and looked through his credits.  

And I still can't figure it out.

What's so special about him?  He even had a "special guest star" label in the opening credits tonight.

So I fail.  Who is he?

Also, even though I'm in a great mood tonight, for some reason I failed to find the humor in tonight's episode.   Garth was kinda cute in his first episode and remained, I guess, cute-ish in tonight's.   But I just didn't find him particularly funny.

Although my son Tim cracked up at the sock puppet.

It's not that I don't like the character of Garth.  I get the sense that he's somehow supposed to be really funny and a character we are supposed to REALLY like.   And I just kinda mildly like him.  What am I missing?

And unfortunately I was spoiled for the ending of tonight's episode about 30 minutes before I viewed it.  Guy and Jim Michael's (one or the other or both? I don't exactly remember) tweeted about thinking they were great at hiding Bobby's re-appearance.  "Crap," said I.  It was my own fault for being on FB on a Friday night.  But I was bored waiting for the episode.   

While it was certainly no surprise that it was Bobby and that Jim was back on the show, I wonder if it would have had more impact had I not been spoiled.   

The whole episode just felt off to me.   And I can't figure out why.   I even noticed a hand movement Jared used at one point as one Sam has used in the past when he's "pretending" to be something he's not - that little tiny hand movement also threw me off.   

I don't know.  It's likely me that's off.  But still - at least I'm in a good mood while I'm off!

I need to re-watch.  I liked the episode, but it just felt off.  

:)

EDIT:  I should add because I sounded all down on the ep up above.   I liked the ep.  Just didn't LOVE it.   I'm more disappointed I was stupid enough to get onto FB on a Friday night and 30 minutes before i saw the ep I saw a tweet via FB from Guy (or Jim, I don't remember) talking about Bobby.  It really, really spoiled it for me.   My own fault.   

But on the bright side - drunk boys = WIN.  There really should have been more of that.
