Best Dean episode yet!

[Godnesss · 10/10 · 13 May 2014]

Awesome episode, this is honestly an episode I've been waiting for since the first time Dean encountered a Demon all the way back in Season 1.

The plot line is great, on one side we have Cas taking the reigns of leadership unwillingly and trying to find a mole in his Angel resistance.

On the other side we have Dean willingly taking on the burden of having the mark and beginning to enjoy his work. I personally love Dean for this gritty type of stuff, he's always been the badass of the show and this is his most badass episode.

Without going into anymore, Dean has The One Blade and goes H.A.M. that is all.

10/10.

Good example of the main problem in season 9

Everything dealing with the big story beats of episode is good to even great. It is appropriately climatic. The Mark making Dean go nuts is engaging and the number of double crosses, reveals etc. are what we have come to expect from Supernatural. But like a lot of things in season 9 it is just careless with the details. The main offender here is Gavin's fate for a few years violating ever prior episode on how the show decided to break time travel. They eventually right this and they hang a lantern on it but it is so lazy that it soils an otherwise good episode. This problem of inconsistency plagues season 9 badly.

crappy episode good ending

Not much to this episode, the angel story again is pretty lame, no interest to me, what kind of friend is castiel that he calls Dean to torture for him and obtain information. Not going anywhere with that story. Crowley's son is pretty pathetic, comic but not in a good way. The power of the mark of cain is promising and a good end although I had though we would see a bit more from Abaddon. A three for the episode a ten for the mark of cain/Dean beating Abaddon.

Lackluster

Abbadon dies in the third to last episode? What's going on here? I thought she'd go out in the finale along with Metatron. Also, if Abbadon is really gone, I'm a bit disappointed Metatron and her never even crossed paths, let alone teamed up. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Dean can do with the first blade, as we saw the force pull he used on it to bring it back. It was quite a lame battle between the two however, looking like Gohan in DBZ surprising Cell or something when Dean kept getting the upper hand on Abbadon. He's going to be a real handful I'm sure in the next couple of episodes. I could care less about the angel side of things really, this has been a let down of a season so far.

Coming to the end

This show gives too much power to villains then dumbs them down. Really she can time travel? How much power and opportunity to prevent this does it leave. The son thing is just weird. The angel thing was fine. Final battle was weird.

Still going down...

Eh... I don't even know what to say anymore. The previous episode with the attempted spin-off, we know how that went. This one was just okay. It's nice to see things finally moving along, but the writing and dialogue just seems so bland, so predictable, and at the same time it's like, what's going on?

The action and choreography seems to getting worse and worse with each episode. This is supposed to be some huge, intense battle with Dean and Abaddon and it's... just that? Not even any effort put into the actual scene? It's like with the Leviathans all over again.

And between Bloodlines and introducing Crowley's son randomly, it just adds even more to this mess that they've made. Here's hoping it wraps up decently.
