The Review at the End of the Universe
“Unity” Supernatural puts things in motion ahead of the end of the series with a quest to find the final ingredient to make Jack powerful enough to take on God and character interactions focused on what connects as well as divides them. With so few episodes left it’s time for serious attention to be given…
“Gimme Shelter” Supernatural has Castiel and Jack work together on a case while Sam and Dean try to track down Amara. One consistently strong element in this show is Castiel’s naivety about how the world he interacts with works. Over time he has gotten better at navigating it but there’s still a lot he doesn’t…
“Raising Hell” Supernatural continues its final season with further efforts to keep a lid on the mass haunting situation from the previous episode. It’s rare to have an episode of Supernatural follow directly on from the events in the previous one. This would typically happen at the end of a season because a story is too…
“Alpha and Omega” The eleventh season of Supernatural comes to an end with the resolution of a desperate situation involving God dying slowly and the universe coming to an end thanks to Amara. Arguably the previous episode had all of the ingredients for a suspenseful finale with an excellent cliffhanger setting things up for the…
“We Happy Few” Sam and Dean help God form a fighting force to take on Amara as season 11 of Supernatural approaches the finish line. Arguably the stakes have never been higher throughout the entire run of Supernatural. We not only have God’s sister trying to wipe out all of creation but it has been…
“All in the Family” Sam and Dean are finally properly introduced to God in an episode of Supernatural that tries to put all of the relevant pieces in place before the final two episodes. Meeting God is naturally a very big deal and the show has been building to this for a very long time…
“The Chitters” Supernatural returns from hiatus with an Amara free monster hunt that breaks the monotony of having no leads for the brothers. The creature in question here is called a Cicada Spirit which seems to have been cooked up by the writers all on their own rather than drawing on existing myths and legends…
“Hell’s Angel” Supernatural returns to the season long arc as the entirety of the main cast play their part in furthering the overall story. It’s been a while since we’ve seen any of this due to all of the fairly self contained narratives that we’ve seen over the past few weeks. I don’t have a…
“Love Hurts” Supernatural delivers a Valentine’s Day episode that lets the Winchesters go on an old fashioned monster hunt. It could be argued that Supernatural has been leaning pretty heavily on filler episodes lately and I guess that depends on your definition of filler as to whether that argument is right. Sure, the recent episodes…
“The Devil in the Details” Supernatural returns after a long hiatus and picks up right where we left off with Sam in Lucifer’s cage being encouraged to say yes to possession. This story takes up the bulk of the episode and rightly so because it was great. Mark Pellegrino is incredible as Lucifer so seeing…
