The Review at the End of the Universe
“Despair” Supernatural gears up for the end with the prospect of losing everything close to the main characters and a complete absence of control. The previous episode ended at a really low point for Sam, Dean, Castiel and Jack. God exponentially increased his power by absorbing Amara and Jack was on the brink of exploding….
“Drag Me Away (From You)” Supernatural flashes back to Sam and Dean as teenagers when a case turns out to not be as solved as they believed. It’s appropriate with the show being so near its end that some time would be taken to reflect on Sam and Dean’s childhood in some ways. Their father…
“The Trap” Supernatural returns from hiatus with Sam and Eileen confronting Chuck while Sam heads to Purgatory with Castiel to find the Leviathan Blossom that will hopefully help trap Chuck and save their universe. I’ve dropped the ball a bit on my reviews of this show because of real life majorly getting in the way…
“Moriah” Supernatural closes out its penultimate season with focus on the current Jack problem and the return of a familiar face. I mentioned in my review of the previous episode that the attitude to what Jack had done felt out of character for the Winchesters and seemed to exist to manufacture the required drama to…
“Nihilism” Supernatural returns from hiatus to deal with Michael’s repossession of Dean and his plan to unleash his army of monsters on an unsuspecting city. I said in my last review that the budget limitations this show has would likely prevent the visualisation of Michael’s monster army attacking a city and unfortunately I was right….
“Funeralia” Supernatural brings back Rowena who tries to cheat death itself and Castiel learns just how bad things are for the Angels when he visits Heaven. Readers of this site will know that I’m always going to struggle with a Rowena episode simply because the character irritates me. Bringing her back at this point makes…
“Advanced Thanatology” Supernatural goes back to the tried and tested formula when Sam and Dean decide to go on a good old fashioned Ghost Hunt. Much of this episode could be placed pretty much anywhere in the 13 seasons of this show. This isn’t a bad thing as many long running shows have an agreed…
“First Blood” Supernatural returns from hiatus to pick up where it left off with Sam and Dean’s arrest after their attempt on the Lucifer possessed president’s life. I get the impression that the writers had written themselves into a corner with this scenario. Sam and Dean being arrested by the government is one of those…
“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…
