The Review at the End of the Universe
“Beat the Devil” Supernatural returns to the alternate world once again for Sam and Dean to mount their much discussed rescue mission with the aid of Rowena and Gabriel. Early on the episode is set up as something of a War story with everyone gearing up for their trip to the other world. The score…
“Unfinished Business” Supernatural brings Gabriel back into the fold when he recruits Sam and Dean to help him on his personal revenge mission. Before we begin I just want to point out how bizarre it is that Supernatural has been on for 13 years and has never used the title “Unfinished Business”. I felt that…
“Good Intentions” Supernatural returns to the alternate world as Sam and Dean are still trying to find a way to get there in order to rescue Mary and Jack. We haven’t seen the alternate world since Jack made his way there back in “The Bad Place” so returning to it was definitely on the cards….
“The Bad Place” Supernatural brings Jack back into the fold and returns to the universe hopping plot before going into its winter hiatus. Jack’s return was inevitably going to be around the time of the winter break. He’s a necessary part of the overall plot of the season and required to move things forward. More…
“The Rising Son” Supernatural slows things down a little to further explore the impact Jack’s presence has on Sam and Dean as well as the wider world at large. Having the son of Lucifer tagging along with Sam and Dean was always going to be an interesting challenge for the writers. How does this character…
“Lost and Found” Supernatural begins its thirteenth season by picking up right where it left off following the birth of Lucifer’s child (Alexander Calvert). The last episode of season 12 went a bit overboard with the deaths. Crowley died, Castiel met his end and Lucifer was banished to another dimension with Mary. Sam and Dean…
“All Along the Watchtower” Supernatural wraps up season 12 by returning to the Lucifer’s child plot as the father comes looking for his son. Lucifer as a character has been a lot like this season in general. He has been random and unfocused. This season more so than any other I can remember has jumped…
“Who We Are” Supernatural picks up from last week as Sam takes the fight to the British Men of Letters and Dean tries to de-program his mother. It looks like this season we get two finales for the price of one. There have been two stories running concurrently this season. Lucifer’s child and the British…
“There’s Something About Mary” Supernatural focuses on the Men of Letters as a threat when they start their mission to kill all of the American Hunters. This is actually a really big story and I’m surprised that the writers chose to deal with it so quickly. The systematic killing of the American Hunters is something…
“Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes” Supernatural brings back two characters introduced earlier in the season to ask for Sam and Dean’s help on a hunt. With such a small number of episodes left until the finale it feels odd to have an episode that doesn’t appear to be connected to the ongoing arc. This…
