The Review at the End of the Universe
“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…
“Red Meat” Supernatural explores the idea of death being a credible threat to the Winchesters again after it being more of an inconvenience for so long. Longtime viewers of Supernatural will be fairly used to seeing Sam and Dean die. Sometimes it’s played for drama and other times it’s played for laughs. Both are valid…
“Safe House” Supernatural brings back a couple of old friends as Sam and Dean follow up on an old case that turned out to be unfinished. This is another of those episodes that could be considered filler as it has no real forward momentum on the Amara story and there are no major revelations about…
“Beyond the Mat” Supernatural allows Sam and Dean to indulge their childhood as they investigate a case involving some of their childhood wrestling heroes. I can’t imagine me getting much mileage out of this review as I am not a fan of wrestling so most of this went completely over my head. This episode does…
“The Vessel” Supernatural toys with time travel as Dean tries to track down a weapon that could raise their chances against Amara. Time travel has been used before on this show to varying degrees of success but it’s always a fun concept to play around with. The rules have never been properly established as most…
“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…
