I confess, I liked this much better than you. I noticed most of the same things, but they apparently just didn't bother me. (In particular, I wasn't too bothered by the geeks because they appeared to be all geeks rolled into just two: BtVS fans, LotR fans, collectors of action figures, sex-crazed, pedantic and socially obtuse. Which ought to have annoyed me in its own right, I guess, but didn't.)
And this episode felt to me like the first genuinely humorous one we'd had. I enjoyed Dean and Sam playing the nerds, and I loved 'ghost' (which was also humorous in concept, even though it did kill that one girl).

Different strokes, I guess.
