Yeah, Jared tweeted that he was disappointed about the animal voices - and that the dog wasn't very well trained.
The accents were weird, definitely (and there were a lot of southern ones, which was odd, too)... just... why. Whyyyyyyyyyy. I'm trying to figure out where I place the blame for this ep. I think Jensen's acting of the silly bits was as good as it ever has been, so that leaves me with writing (I think that's A LOT of it for this ep, the jokes didn't hit home for me, the logic behind the villain was pretty fail, and the Sam/Zeke thing was over-the-top. Unless the showrunners have absolutely decided that Zeke is messing with Sam's perceptions of things all the time (instead of only when absolutely necessary), then Sam should have snapped. He had a fatal neck wound - you could see he knew that - and then he doesn't have a scratchon him?) and directing/editing - not of the actors but the overview of the whole ep. It just didn't come together for me.
