The Review at the End of the Universe
“Gods and Monsters” Supernatural concentrates on developing some of the secondary characters as Michael experiments to create stronger monsters. This show started out as a roadtrip show. Sam and Dean would roll into town, deal with the supernatural threat and move onto their next job. This storytelling structure meant that there would be very little…
“Stranger in a Strange Land” Supernatural returns for a 14th season that picks up where the last one ended with Dean possessed by Michael and Sam trying to pick up the pieces. Last season’s finale ended on a bleak note though viewers would be forgiven for disputing how serious Dean’s body being taken over by…
“Let the Good Times Roll” Supernatural ends its thirteenth season with the arrival of Michael into “our” world an further exploration of the Lucifer/Jack dynamic. I mentioned last week that I had no idea what this season finale would be about and I certainly could never have predicted what would come to pass here. The…
“Exodus” Supernatural delivers the long awaited meeting between Jack and his father Lucifer as the Winchesters consider their options when it comes to helping those in the alternate universe.

“Funeralia” Supernatural brings back Rowena who tries to cheat death itself and Castiel learns just how bad things are for the Angels when he visits Heaven. Readers of this site will know that I’m always going to struggle with a Rowena episode simply because the character irritates me. Bringing her back at this point makes…
“Bring ‘Em Back Alive” Supernatural returns to the alternate universe for a rescue mission as Lucifer struggles to maintain control of Heaven and Sam works to help Gabriel along with Castiel. We’re on the final stretch of the season now which usually means that the plot starts to ramp up. This episode is an example…
“The Thing” Supernatural returns to the MacGuffin hunt leading Sam and Dean to a mysterious woman shackled up in a Men of Letters basement since the 1920s. After last week‘s excellent diversion it’s time to get back to the main plot which means that the brothers are in full research mode. Dean finds the prospect…
“ScoobyNatural” Supernatural brings audiences the long awaited crossover with Scooby-Doo allowing Sam and Dean to team up with the Scooby Gang to solve an animated mystery. If any show can get away with an idea as ludicrous as this one it’s Supernatural. Over its very long run this show has become famous for taking ideas…
