Featured review
A fitting end to the Mark of Cain story
This episode is pretty much like the Mark of Cain storyline on the whole. It is compelling, fun and almost competes with the golden years of seasons 3-5. Ackles is great as dark Dean and this episode has one of his hard edge performances. I especially like how Death is written in this episode and moreover it sets up season 11 well. But the episode also has a few clunky elements. Sam, Cas are too nonchalant about Oskar's fate. Likewise, Oskar is way too laid back given the situation.
Season on the Whole:
Average Episode score: 8.391
Top 3:
1. The Executioner's Song 2. About A Boy 3. The Things They Carried
Bottom 3
21. Fan Fiction 22. The Hunter Games 23. Paint It Black
This is the best season since season 5 abet only slightly because season 8 is basically the same quality. But much like the backend of the series as a whole it is a noticeable notch below the golden years. It is largely because Dark Dean is such a compelling character rift; oh and Ackles turns in a very well considered season performance. I think the writers have lost a bit of daring. Cole could have and should have been developed more. Likewise, as fun as Rowena is as a character the bickering with Crowley goes nowhere and a lot of that storyline treads water. The tension between being a horror anthology and a more relationship based melodrama that defines the final years *really* shows in this episode. There is way too much A story , B story structure in this season.
