Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
That's right, I'm back with my reviews and what better way to come back than with Supernatural!
I must say, it's a bit odd not only coming back writing after all this time but also writing for Supernatural. I have been writing, but mainly for The Challenge, which is a completely different show, and writing for a scripted show is a bit different. Also, the last Supernatural episode aired in March and this is still the same Season and the same story so it was a bit difficult to get the hang of it when this new episode started. Nonetheless, I'm so happy that one of my favorite shows is back and I'm so happy to be writing again.
This week's episode was a bit of a filler one, which makes me feel mixed emotions. On one hand we only have seven episodes left so they shouldn't be wasting time on filler episodes but, on the other hand, this episode was so cute and so wholesome and, in a way, the perfect episode for the 'come back'. I don't know... That's just how I feel. But anyway so, this episode follows basically the brothers (obviously) after having some plumbing issues in the bunker, pushing the 'reset' button and releasing a wood nymph named Mrs. Butters who used to serve the Men of Letters before they were wiped out by Abaddon. With Mrs. Butters in the picture, the work is so much easier and the Winchesters are able to, not only go on multiple successful hunts but also celebrate several holidays, and that's the part that makes this episode so wholesome. But, of course, things can't be that easy so something goes wrong and Jack finds a dark past of Mrs. Butters.
Jack finds out that the Men of Letters tortured Mrs. Butters so much that she started seeing the threats only as good or bad and, perceiving Jack as a threat to the boys, she locks him up and tries to get Dean to kill Jack. However, Dean doesn't do it so he ends up locked with Jack. Post that, she goes to Sam but, of course, he doesn't want to kill Jack either so she tortures him, which make for some pretty gruesome and gory scenes which, personally, I loved (I was just kind of surprised they did that for a PG show and one that airs on prime-time).
Dean and Jack break out and convince Mrs. Butters that she is wrong and was only used by the Men of Letters, which makes her stand down. Post that, Mrs. Butters go back to the woods, where she belonged and the episode ends in a pretty nice note with Dean throwing Jack a birthday party and making in a cake, which wasn't the best but was so adorable and, again, so wholesome.
As I said, this episode is pretty much a filler, but I guess we needed this so, I'm not that mad that the story didn't develop. And I mean, that's what we think, maybe this is important to the story, who knows...
Anyway, so this are my thoughts on the new Supernatural episode. I'm sorry if I my thoughts were a bit spread out and not really coherent but I'm getting back to writing so, I'll get the hang of it, I promise, just give me a break this time.
Well, let me know what you thought of the episode and if you think this was just a filler or if you were happy that this was a filler and I'll see you next week with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.
