The Review at the End of the Universe
“Peace of Mind” Supernatural picks up the pieces from the devastation at the end of the previous episode and explores the consequences for the characters. Last week ended with both death and rebirth. Maggie and the other Hunters were brutally killed at the hands of Michael just before Jack killed him and regained his own…
“Prophet and Loss” Supernatural takes Dean on one last hunt before taking the eternal plunge to the bottom of the ocean as Sam tries to convince him that there is always hope. Episodes like this are awkward as they sit in-between large plot developments and the continuation of said plots. Such is the folly of…
“Family Reunion” and “Farewell” Star Wars Rebels ends its four season run with a last stand in defence of Lothal and closure on the various arcs the show has developed. Finales are hard. Saying goodbye to a beloved show is a difficult task for any fan so the writers have an uphill struggle when it…

“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…
