Spoiler Alert!
Hello everyone and welcome to the last rant for a while.
As you probably know, this was Supernatural's mid-season finale and, just like Supernatural, it was the mid-season finale of a bunch of other series including all the series that I review on the blog so, this is going to be the last rant for a while.
In terms of Supernatural... Wow! They couldn't have had a better mid-season finale! They left it on such an huge note and just the whole episode was just a roller coaster. This really felt like a finale (in this case, mid-season), with loads of action and all our favorite characters together and, to be honest, I almost really believed that they were going to pull this off and kill Michael in this episode and have a new villain for the rest of the episode, but it was too good to be true and just left us aching.
Besides all the action, this episode also had some special appearances, once of them being Ketch, who locates the hyperbolic pulse generator and mails it to the Winchesters.
At the same time, we see another special appearance, Garth, who goes undercover among Michael's monsters and discover that Michael is planning to turn the entire population of Kansas City, Missouri into his monster army. Not only this was such an important plot point, and one that I wasn't expecting, I also loved having Garth back. They kind of teased that in one of the previous episodes when they called him to be aware of Michael and such but really having him in the episode was super nice.
After finding out about Michael's plan, Garth passes the information to Sam and tries to be cautious towards Michael's actions but he is forced to accept Michael's enhancements.
While Sam and Jack go after the hyperbolic pulse generator (that Ketch sent by mail but which they need right now so they have to go after it), Dean and Castiel go after Kaia who provides them with her spear in exchange for a way to get back to the Bad Place after Michael is defeated.
Sam and Jack do get an hold of 'the egg', with a pretty cute scene of Jack picking a lock in the middle of it, but then Michael appears and destroys the hyperbolic pulse generator and, after fighting with Sam and leaving him unconscious, abducts Jack.
After waking up, Sam is able to contact Dean and Cas and tell them what happened. They decide to, obviously, go after Jack, meeting in the building where Michael is and then getting in there together. Well, as you can imagine, they don't really follow the agreement and Sam, who gets there first, is able to rescue Jack, but then Garth falls under Michael's influence and attacks, forcing Sam to subdue him.
Reunited, Sam, Dean, Jack and Castiel launch an attack on Michael with Kaia's spear, in one of the most iconic scenes ever! I mean, they do that 'power walk' a bunch of times but this had the oddest music ever and I just thought it was hilarious but super cool at the same time.
Dean appears about to kill Michael when the archangel suddenly repossesses him and destroys the weapon.
In the end, Michael reveals that Dean had been fighting him so much that he allowed Dean to go in order to break Dean's spirit and then repossess him through the crack that he left open (that mist thing that we saw a couple of episodes ago). Michael triumphantly announces that Dean is gone and gives his army signal to attack, with such a Thanos type of thing (snapping his fingers). And then, the episode went black.
That was such a powerful way to end the episode! I mean, it was kind of cheesy with the finger snap but then transitioning to black and just leaving us hanging... Wow!
Unfortunately, we are going to have to wait about a month to watch a new episode and that is such a bummer. I can see that this is going to get more and more exciting so... I can't wait!
Let me know what you thought of this mid-season finale and, just out of curiosity, tell me if you're a Marvel fan, I would love to know that.
And, I guess I'll see you guys in a month! Happy Holidays!
Love,
Daniela.
