Review - The Supernatural Season 11 Midseason Finale "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

-by sweetondean

Oh my God. Hellatus always hurts…always…but when you’re left with Sammy in the cage facing Lucifer, a single tear trickling down his cheek…well that’s just damn cruel, Supernatural! Damn cruel and painful and shocking and really kinda awesome. Really kind of awesome that after so many years, I can still be a mixture of all these feelings, and still feel so shell-shocked and terrified for the characters I love. 

“O Brother Where Art Thou?” left me a nervous wreck. By the time the episode had finished, my heart was racing and I’m pretty sure my hands were over my mouth, muffling a scream of NOOOOOOOO! 

I always figured it was Lucifer speaking to Sam, not God. I always figured that when the Darkness was released, that had an impact on either Lucifer or Hell or both, enough to allow Lucifer to project out, to contact Sam. I didn’t know how, but it’s just what I assumed was going on; especially considering the connection the Darkness has to Lucifer.

This was for the most part a very intense and exciting episode.  Jared and Mark were a sheer delight to watch together. That loud crack you might have heard while watching this episode, was in fact my heart breaking for Sam.  Sam ever so faithful, believing that God was truly sending him visions only to find out that it's been Lucifer all along......or was it?

This episode raised more questions than it answered and left my head spinning while my heart in fact was breaking....it's always these types of episodes that raise so many questions, which is both frustrating and intense and exciting all at once.

Review - Supernatural 11x08 "Just My Imagination" Directed by Richard Speight, Jr.

I loved this week’s episode. Like a lot. A. LOT. It had everything in it that makes Supernatural special. A little horror, a little gore, a lot of humour and enough pathos to make you sniffle quietly into your tissue. It was whimsical and silly, but also heart wrenching, something our show is incredibly good at being – delivering the laughter and then making you tear up. And it was thoroughly entertaining, from the opening Sparkle massacre scene to the closing fill us with dread, Sam’s going to go to the Cage isn’t he scene. In short (which is something I don’t do), “Just My Imagination” was a delight from beginning to end.

The script, by Jenny Klein, and directed by our wonderful Richard Speight, Jr. snapped and popped with hilarious one liners and ridiculous situations that gave the cast plenty of room to have fun. Jensen is a master at comedy, he only seems to get better, his timing is so spot on, and he had some spectacular moments to play with in this episode. His grumpy Dean is one of my favourite things of all time, but grumpy Dean in dead guy robe and old dude slippers, is pure perfection...as it that thigh.

If I were a Psychology Professor, I would require watching Supernatural as homework every Wednesday night.  I am constantly in awe of how deep and insightful each episode actually is, no matter how insane some of the content may be.  This episode was no exception.

Firstly I want to offer accolades to all those involved, starting with Jenny Klein.  I miss Ben Edlund, I love his eps, they are offbeat, funny, emotional and he wrote for the boys so well.  Jenny Klein has made his loss so much less painful, as she is filling his shoes quite nicely.  I found her script to be funny, quirky, touching and even slightly twisted.  I laughed and I cried.  All my emotions were accounted and present.  It was a wonderful hour that left me quite happy, and those are my favourite kinds of episodes.  Ms. Klein writes the boys wonderfully and she is spot on with continuity which I loved and appreciated.  I very much look forward to her next episode.
