The Review at the End of the Universe
“O Brother Where Art Thou” Supernatural ends its 2015 run with a more philosophical take on the concepts of good and evil as well as religion and how that relates to us as human beings. Broaching the subject of religion is always a tough one as you risk annoying a lot of people who have…
“Just My Imagination” Supernatural takes some time to venture back into the wacky before what will likely be an intense midseason finale next week. Over the course of 11 seasons, Supernatural has never been afraid to have a little fun with the mythology of the show and add things that should be completely ridiculous. These…
“Plush” Supernatural eases off the Darkness plot for a by the numbers ghost hunt episode that could have been in almost any season. I’m not saying that every episode has to be completely on task and dazzle us with meaningful plot advancement and I’m all for an old fashioned ghost hunt now and again but…
“Our Little World” Supernatural continues to impress as the 11th season really keeps a fast pace going without feeling like it’s rushing to revelations. In the middle of this entire episode is Amara who is proving to be a problem for everyone that comes in contact with her. It is well established that Crowley is…
“Thin Lizzie” An apparently standard “Ghost Hunt” Supernatural episode turns into a really interesting exploration of the concept of having no soul in the universe of this show. After a couple of murders happen in the house that Lizzie Borden grew up in, Sam becomes really interested in checking it out as he is a…
“Baby” Would you believe that 11 seasons in and Supernatural can turn a potential filler episode into one of the most unique episodes of anything that I have seen. This outing follows a character who has always been around but never had a full episode devoted to her. I am of course talking about the…
“The Bad Seed” Supernatural makes some significant progress on the development of the Darkness plot in very unexpected ways. I’ll admit that I expected Supernatural to deal with this new threat in a much more obvious way but so far I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well thought out the whole thing is. When Crowley…
“Form and Void” After a slightly shaky start Supernatural proves that it can still tell a compelling character driven story that feels somewhat fresh after over a decade on screens. This episode follows directly on from the previous one with Dean taking Jenna and the baby Amara to a safe place while Sam struggles with…
“Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire” I can hardly believe it, Supernatural has made it to an 11th season. It’s a show that sort of feels like it should have run its course years ago but like the lead characters it keeps coming back no matter what. Over the last season I was fairly…
