Review: Supernatural - S05E02 Good God, Y'All

The last episode in my opinion was really good.

There are more things now that need to be considered and everything is not just black and white anymore with the big players now pulling some strings.

Again spoilers ahead so please mark if you want to read.

A full town of demons was a very good idea to bring a couple of hunters, including Dean and Sam, together.

The fact that there were no demons at all and one of the 4 Riders of the Apocolypse, War, was just making everybody hallucinate that there were demons and killing each other was very well done.

It shows that there is more to be aware of now.

Castiel now starting his own quest to find God seems interesting to me as well.

I would not be surprised if there is one episode mostly dedicated to Cas and not showing the brothers at all or only for a short time.

The fact that the brothers split up in the end and are going their separate ways makes room for more opportunities.

They will be facing their own challenges for a while just to unite in a couple of episodes again to come out stronger from their experience apart, know that they need to be together to function. They are a team, they are brothers. They just have to realize it again.

See you next week.

Supernatural: The relationship of the Winchester brothers

Now, if you have read my post and if you have seen the first episode of Season 5 you might have wondered why I did not write about the ending.

Well, I thought the relationship of the Wichester brothers deserves some extra attention so I post it extra.

First off all I am not really happy how this part turned out.

Sure, Sam was the one who broke the last seal but lets rewind to the beginning. Who broke the first seal? Who is responsible that this started? It was Dean. So the story just comes full circle with both brothers being involved.

That in mind, and Dean had to listen to his many times from the angels, he should not have said that he cannot trust his brother anymore.

The agenda was to stop Lillith from breaking the seals the whole time.

In the end Dean did not think that Sam was strong enough to beat her. He wanted him safe.

Sam also took off to prevent the last seal from being broken. He never intended to break it. He got tricked by Ruby.

To me there was no real trust issue. Sam believed in his powers and thought he can stop it. Dean was concerned but did not know how to stop it as he was overcome by fear to lose his brother.

He knew he was responsible for it to have started but he was also told that he would be the one to stop it.

The angels around Zachharias thus did not prevent the event. They were accomplices to the demons. They wanted Lucifer loose so that he can be killed. They took Dean in and claimed him for their own little crusade preventing him from being with his brother and just threw the truth into his face when it was too late to act.

Sneaky bastards.

Now Dean has to come off his high horse and stop playing the tune of self righteousness. He always was the stronger brother and he needs to understand what happened. They need to unite to destroy the strongest demon they could ever face.

Lucifer is waiting.

Review: Supernatural - S05E01 Sympathy for the devil

As I am not living in the US and cannot see the airing of the show in real time here is my review of the season 5 start of Supernatural.

The episode is called Sympathy for the devil (sftd) and it took us right back into the action.

Spoilers ahead.

Mark the text to read it:

With a nice short intro showing us "The road so far" we got right back into where we left off. The seal was broken and the Winchester brothers await the arrival of the devil.

With a beam of light they find themselves on a plane just above the spot and in the next scene they are driving in their car discussing how they have escaped.

It was a nice devolepment and I think it was very good to have avoid them facing Lucifer right away.

When they return to Chuck, the prophet, they find out that Castiel has been destroyed by the arch angel.

Zacharias and other angels appear and demand from Dean that he will now do their bidding and kill Lucifer. But he banishes them with a seal painted with his blood which he had learnt from his friend Cas.

I don't really want to get into too much detail of the story and will tell you what I liked.

When they were meeting up with Bobby I thought it was a stroke of genius that Bobby actually was possessed by a demon. The Winchesters would be trusting Bobby and at a time likes this forget to check if he was possessed. Very nicely done.

I quite liked the the fact that Bobby was stronger than the demon in the end and overcame him, preventing Dean from getting killed and instead rammed the knife in his own body killing the demon.

Meg showing up again was a bit of a surprise and I will see what I will make of it as the story develops. For now I just take it as it is.

Lucifer needing a vessel before he can wreak havoc is a nice idea. This way they can show him as the seducer who he is known out of the Bible.

Instead of naming the episode Sympathy for the devil it could have been called Sympathy from the devil.

If the visions Lucifer's vessel saw were in his imagination as he was tortured by memories of his murdered wife and kid, or if Lucifer had something to do with them to convince his vessel to take him in is not known. And I liked that as well. It adds to the mystery of the devil. What are his plans? He promised revenge and justice thus seducing his vessel.

I don't know yet how I liked Dean being Michael's sword or his vessel. I guess if the Winchesters have a part to play I would prefer they do it actively and not as an "Angel's condom" as Dean put it.

The fact that Castiel shows up again and confirms that he actually was dead but is back again adds an element of mystery. That the Sam and Dean were beamed up into the plane was not done by the angels, as Castiel says is another mystery.

Did god get involved in the end after all? Is he responsible for Castiels return and the saving of the brothers? Who else could be?

Can't wait to see the next episode.

Seasons are starting!

Yes people, it is September already.

Time for most of the fall series to start.


Here are some dates for some of the series I so you won't miss them:


* Supernatural 09/10/2009
* Fringe 09/17/2009
* Two and a half men 09/21/2009
* The Big Bang Theory 09/21/2009
* CSI 09/24/2009
* Desperate Housewives 09/27/2009

What I am specially looking forward to is Supernatural and The Big Bang Theory.


Supernatural is starting its 5th and last season. I am curious if the writers can wrap up the story to the audience's satisfaction.


The Big Bang Theory totally blew me away when I watched the first episodes. I am no physicist but the conversations involving computer games and TV series reminded me of my time as a teenager. I guess, the characters kept on being teenagers on some level.


I don't really follow Desperate Housewives but my girlfriend does, so I mentioned it as well :)


Will be back.
