The Review at the End of the Universe
“Tombstone” Supernatural goes Wild West on a case that welcomes Castiel back into the fold and lets Dean celebrate the win that he wanted so badly last week. So far this season has been consumed by loss. Dean has been struggling to deal with losing his mother all over again at the same time he…
“Advanced Thanatology” Supernatural goes back to the tried and tested formula when Sam and Dean decide to go on a good old fashioned Ghost Hunt. Much of this episode could be placed pretty much anywhere in the 13 seasons of this show. This isn’t a bad thing as many long running shows have an agreed…
“The Big Empty” Closure and catharsis are the name of the game when Supernatural forces everyone to deal with their grief. Grief has defined this season so far in one way or another. Dean is mourning the loss of Castiel, Mary and even Crowley while Jack mourns the mother he never knew. The one person…
“Patience” Supernatural brings back a character not seen since the first season when something evil starts picking off psychics. This episode features fan service even the most die hard of fans might have trouble remembering. Missouri Moseley (Loretta Devine) has only had one appearance since the show began and that was all the way back…
“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…
