The Review at the End of the Universe
“Carry On” Supernatural ends its historic 15 year run with one last hunt and the end of the road for the Winchester brothers. Endings are hard. Chuck/God said that in the season 5 finale “Swan Song” and he was completely right. Ending something that people have a strong connection to is no easy task because…
“Inherit The Earth” Supernatural approaches its end with an empty Earth and the constant threat of God looming over the Winchesters. The previous episode ended at the lowest point Sam and Dean have ever known with Castiel’s death and God removing every other living being on Earth. The second part wasn’t explicitly confirmed until the…
“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…
“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…
“Gimme Shelter” Supernatural has Castiel and Jack work together on a case while Sam and Dean try to track down Amara. One consistently strong element in this show is Castiel’s naivety about how the world he interacts with works. Over time he has gotten better at navigating it but there’s still a lot he doesn’t…
“Last Holiday” Supernatural returns from a very long hiatus with a light hearted episode to ease viewers back in after such a long absence. It’s been a long time since new Supernatural was on the air and an even longer time since I last reviewed it. Life circumstances got in the way of me keeping…
“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…
