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….
“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…
“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…
“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…
“Back and to the Future” Supernatural begins its final season picking up where the last one left off with the odds stacked against Sam, Dean and Castiel. Part of me never thought I’d see the day that I’d be covering the final season of Supernatural but all things do have to end and it looks…
“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…
“Jack In The Box” Supernatural marches towards the season finale by continuing the tension around Jack’s unpredictability and how different parties try to deal with that. There is one scene in this episode that sums up Jack’s mental state at this point in time. It’s the scene where he sits alone with his thoughts -and…
“Absence” Supernatural deals with the fallout of the previous episode and continues to explore how much of Jack’s soul has been lost. The previous episode had some very obvious foreshadowing of Mary Winchester’s fate that led up to a cliffhanger ending suggesting that she was in real danger around Jack after what he did to…
“Game Night” Supernatural continues to explore the question of whether Jack still has a soul as a familiar antagonist makes an unwelcome return. The restoration of Jack’s powers countered by not knowing the extent of the consequences attached to this has been a source of intrigue over the past few episodes. Jack is being keenly…
“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…
