Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 20 - "Carry On"

 

 

Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello everybody!  

Here it is, the very final Supernatural rant. I would be lying if I said I was fine- I'm not. Not only it's so sad that I won't be reviewing this show anymore (my second favorite all time show) but also it's just sad that the show is ending. (I also really regret not watching this earlier because it has been like 4/5 years since I started watching it and I could and should have watched it sooner. But that's a conversation for another time). And well, not only I'm sad that I won't have any new episodes, I also wasn't exactly happy with how it all ended, which is the perfect transitions to move on to my actual review.

I said in my latest review that I had no idea where this was going (well, I had two options, which kind of both happened). I always had my predictions though, and I stand by them (I still believe my theory was better than what ended up happening) but they went on a completely different and not good direction.

The episode actually began with Sam and Dean adapting to their 'normal' life - like doing laundry and making the bed and all that stuff that we 'normal people' do - and they also show that Dean adopted the dog that we saw in the last episode. It was pretty cute and funny, with them even going to a Pie Festival, which was priceless. However, things that to turn dark, and they went very dark very quickly. They come across a strange murder and kidnapping that turned out to be vampires - a case that their father worked on in 1986 but was never able to solve. The Winchesters capture one of the vampires using the pattern that John had established and with that they also find their nest. One of the vampires is Jenny who the Winchesters had encountered on their first vampires case (which, to be completely honest with you, I really can't remember her). Well, needless to say that the brothers fight the vampires but that's when things take a dark tone. They do take out all of the vampires, but in the middles of the fight, Dean is impaled on a metal spike and there's no way back. He can't move and he's slowly dying. All that's left is saying everything he needs to say to Sam and... That's it. This is also when things start not making a lot of sense. One, Sam didn't even try to save Dean. I mean, he said he would get someone but as soon as Dean said that it was over for him, and asks Sam to not do any deals because that always ends badly, Sam just gives up and 'accepts' Dean's death. That just didn't make sense to me because in all the other 14 seasons this exact same thing happened and Sam (nor Dean) ever stopped trying to save his brother so... This was just odd (and messy writing).

The images that followed were some of the saddest ones ever! Sam, by himself (well, with the dog), mourning Dean and trying to get on with his life. And eventually he takes on a job by himself, which was so sad. 

Then, we move to Dean's point of view and we see him in Heaven, where he's reunited with Bobby who reveals that Jack reshaped Heave with Castiel's help. That was nice, not only because we knew there was some happiness for Dean but also this meant that Castiel is alive, not in The Empty, and is with Jack, which is also cute. Then... Cue the montage.

Dean drives off through Heaven in the Impala while we see the life that Sam had - having kids, having a family, growing old and dying of natural causes. And, the episode ends with Sam and Dean reunited in Heaven after Sam's death. 

As I said in the beginning, it was a really bittersweet ending. On one hand I understand why they went with this ending - it's what made sense for the characters. Dean always said that he wanted to go down fighting and hunting, and Sam always wanted a family, so this all made sense in that way. However, it bugged me that this happened this soon, that Dean died this soon and the way he died. Like, they were fighting God last episode and they defeated him, but a nest of vampires and a metal spike?! That was too much for Dean. I don't know, it just seems farfetched to me that the were able to defeat God and a day later be killed by something so random as a metal spike. I would go with another ending, to be honest, but if they really wanted to do it this way, they should've done two more episodes - this episode should have been episode 22, and episode 20 and 21 should've been about them going back to hunting and to their 'normal life' after defeating god. Then, after establishing that some time had passed, then could have killed one of them. Of course, I wished they would get old together and die of old age together, but in that case I would be 'better' with their deaths. I don't know... That's just my thought...

And I guess that's pretty much what I have to say about the finale. I kind of wish the previous episode was the last episode now, but okay... More than anything I'm more sad that the show is over and that I won't be watching a new episode every single week. Also, because of that, I'll have to choose another show to cover here so... I'll see which show I'm feeling and I'll ask you guys on twitter or Instagram which show should I cover here on the blog, so stay tuned to my social media. Also, if you want to see my 'live' video reaction of the episode, head over to my channel - youtube.com/danixinhahhh - I had to cut a lot of the episode because of copyright issues but you can still see where my head's at while watching it. 

Anyway, that's it from me. Let me know what you thought of the finale and I'll see you guys in two weeks with a brand new The Challenge rant (THAT'S exciting!).

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 19 - "Inherit the Earth"

Spoiler Alert!

 

Wow! Wow! I don't know how this rant is going to turn out because this was a lot to take in.

Hello everybody! Here we are with Supernatural's second to last episode.

Once again, I'm sorry I'm one day late with this rant. I had a lot to do and, to be honest, I needed some time to process that episode that really felt like the last episode of the series! I know that we have another one (which I'm going to react to on my YouTube channel so stay tuned for that) but this one was just an ending. It really was and now I'm kind of confused.

Well, usually I start with how the episode started and all of that but, this time, I just need to get all of this things out of my chest. There was so much going on in this episode and I don't even know where to start. From the preview we knew they were going to meet with someone and, because of that 'previously' in the beginning, I figured it was Michael (also because I saw Jake Abel's name on the credits) so that's who they went to meet. Then later Lucifer appeared out of no where and that really was a shock to me. A lot of stuff went down between Lucifer 'helping' Sam and Dean, showing up with a reaper, killing it in order for this reaper to become Death and read God's book of his death. Actually, that was a great plan, if if wasn't for the fact that he killed this new Death before she read everything because this was all a plan from God to get his book. Luckily (or not), Michael kills Lucifer and there's that. The book was left open, however, and so they started working on a way to translate it which ended up in them doing a spell which revealed Michael's betrayal when God appeared. That betrayal was for nothing though because then God killed him. With that, God had enough of the Winchesters and decided to just end them, but not before getting his hands dirty and punching them over and over. That was when the brothers revealed that all of this was part of their plan. They noticed what was going on with Jack (the thing about him killing plants) which turns out he was not killing things, he was 'capturing' their energy and, because of that, he was getting more powerful by the minute. With Michael killing Lucifer, Jack absorbed Lucifer's energy and later on, after God kills Michael he also absorbed Michael's energy and, if that wasn't enough, he absorbed God's energy from all the punching. All of this just made him super powerful - more powerful than God - and that was 'the end'. Jack absorbed all of God's power, leaving God just a regular human and Jack... Well, basically God. To that, Sam and Dean decided to not kill God and just leave him being a 'nobody'. Jack brought everyone back (the world) but we don't know anything about the people from the other world and we also don't know if he brought Castiel back. (and like that I just said everything about the episode)

The episode really ended with Jack disappearing because he's not God and the brothers going back to the bunker, having a toast to the people that they lost along the way, them getting into the Impala and driving into the sunset while a montage of all the other seasons played. And that really looked like a Season Finale.

After that, I was basically in denial. I know there's one episode left but this really felt like the end and I was not prepared. The whole thing also didn't play out like I thought it would. I always said that Sam would become God - guess I was wrong about that. And in my last rant I said that Dean would be Amara and Jack would be Death. Well, I don't think that's going to happen either. However, I do believe my ending would've been better. Not that I didn't like this episode/ending. It was as close to an happy ending as we would ever get, and I'm so proud of Jack. He's character arc is beautiful - this basically tells that, even if you come from a 'bad place' (being Lucifer's child), you're in control of yourself and your decisions and you don't need to be a bad person, you can over come it and now look - he's God. That was beautiful! But, in a way, it was easy. A lot happened in this episode but God's actual defeat was a bit anti-climatic so I have mixed feelings.

Also, there's a final episode. What is going to happen?! It looks like everything is dealt with so... I have two predictions. 1) Either the next episode is how they life went on, like growing old and whatnot or 2) this whole episode 19 was 'fake' and there's a big plot twist in the end. Also, the preview showed something with them leaving a set which automatically made me think that the show would end saying that this was all a show and 'none of that ever happened' (like the character's aren't real) which would suck, to be honest. Either way, I'm really curious to see how everything is going to end, even though I will be so sad.

So, I've talked enough about this episode so let me know what you thought of this 'ending' and what do you think will be the next episode. Until then, just need to let you know that the next post will come later because, as I said, I'm filming a reaction. That's all!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 15 - "Gimme Shelter"

Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello everybody!

Back with a new Supernatural rant and, although this didn't develop the main story again (just like last episode) I feel like this one was a lot more enjoyable. 

This one followed a lot more Cas and Jack, while Sam and Dean took a bit of a backseat. What the brothers did in the episode is actually important for the main plot but this episode was really dedicated to Cas and even more to Jack - which we find out why by the end of the episode.

So, let's start with Sam and Dean's story-line because that's shorter and easier to explain. They basically go after Amara to kill her (I can't exactly remember why they need to do that but I'll just roll with it) and when they find her (or more like when she finds them) she tells the brothers that she and Chuck were actually conjoined twins and their separations was what caused the Big Bang. The Winchesters plan is to get Amara to think that they need her to lock Chuck which she says no to up until Dean confronts her about her bringing back Mary. She ends up kind of agreeing to help them so... That's the end of Dean and Sam's story for this episode.

As for Jack and Castiel they go investigate a murder that, turns out, it's just a 'normal' non-supernatural murder. But, with all that has been going on, Castiel agrees to keep on investigating this 'human case', which makes Jack very happy. And this dynamic was what made me love this episode so much. Jack has become an equal to Sam, Dean and Cas in the eyes of the fans and, I think I can talk for everyone, we always want a bit more of Jack. And an only Cas/Jack investigation was something that I didn't know I needed but I was very happy that I got it.

The murder part of this episode was very interesting because it was a mix of Saw - with some really gory scenes and interesting torture devices - and Seven - with the killer going after people that have sinned. Well, int he end, it is revealed that the killer is the pastor's daughter from the center that everyone that was killed attended.

With the case resolved, Cas and Jack head back to the bunker and that's when Jack drops a bomb not only on Cas but also on all of us - that Billie's spell is turning him into a bomb that will cause Chuck and Amara to die but it will also kill him (Jack). I mean, I'm not really surprised. Someone has to die in the end of the show and Jack would be a 'good one'. He's not Sam and Dean, which would make fans really sad, but he's loved almost as much as the brothers and will have the same emotional impact without making the fans angry, which would happen if any of the brothers die. Something must happen to them by the end of the show, I'm sure, but I don't think they'll die. Actually, I have a new addition to my theory - I always said that Sam is going to be the new God. Well, with all this Amara thing and finding out that they were twins and their separation created the Big Bag, I think Dean will be the new Darkness. Sam and Dean are brothers, Dean has always been the darkest/angrier one and Dean even said in this episode that he and Amara had a thing which, is true, but in this case I feel like it means something else. So yeah, that's my new theory - Sam is God and Dean the Darkness.

Anyway, the episode actually ends with Castiel going to find another way where Jack doesn't die but before he tells Dean that there's something he needs to know and... The episode just ends like that. I'm really curious to see what the next episode brings! We are really in the final stretch so... I just want this season to be worth it and have a fairly good ending.

Let me know what you thought of this episode, if you enjoyed Cas and Jack's dynamic as much as I did and which are your new (or old) theories, I would love to know that. And I guess I'll see you next week with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 14 - "Last Holiday"

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.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 3 - "The Rupture"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone.

So... How are you all holding up?

This was an insanely intense and crazy episode! I was not prepared! I have to say, after years watching this show I've picked up some hints and I could tell that something was about to happen because of the stuff that they mentioned in the 'Then' but I certainly wasn't ready. And mainly because this is only episode 3 and we already have 3 major deaths. Yes, that's right, if you didn't watch the episode this is one that I urge you to watch before reading this review because this will have major spoilers!

I thought, how the last one ended, that they would be fine with the barrier but... I guess I was wrong, because this episode started right away with Rowena trying a spell to strengthen the barrier but discovering that it is already too weak and there's nothing she can do. But, this is the beginning of the episode so you know they will come up with something else. In this case it is Belphegor that offers a solution. Basically all they have to do is retrieve Lilith's crook from Hell and use it to draw in all of the ghosts while Rowena and Sam perform a spell to close the rupture. As they work on that that's when we get introduced to Ardat. I actually didn't think we would get to know her this soon in the season but everything is happening so fast this time so I don't know what to expect anymore. 

Anyway, that's when we meet her that we have our first death - Ketch. That's right, I wasn't prepared for it and, surprisingly, I was upset. I used to hate him and now I'm actually sad that he died so... Things do really change.

Ardat kills Ketch and goes after Belphegor. She finds him and Castiel in Hell and that's when she reveals that Belphegor is using the Winchesters to gain power in Hell for himself. Belphegor kills Ardat and starts drawing the souls to himself but that's when Castiel gets enough of him (Belphegor) and kills him for good, destroying the crook in the process as well as Jack's body. And here we get our second death. It's not major major but it means that Jack won't have a body in case he comes back (which I'm pretty sure he will). I don't know how they're going to work around that but Alex was promoted to a series regular so he's for sure coming back so... I'm curious to see how that's going to happen.

Well, with no other way to close the rupture, Rowena decides to use a spell that requires a sacrifice of her own life to draw the souls into herself and then go to Hell. This means that Sam has to be the one to actually kill her since that's how her fate is written. Reluctantly Sam does so and the everything works as planned - the souls are drawn to Rowena and she falls into the rupture, into Hell and the rupture is closed and Rowena is dead - third death of the episode. It was pretty sad but at the same time gave Rowena such a good complete ending that I'm not that mad. I mean, maybe we will see her in Hell but, as far as we know, she's dead but she died a hero!

But it doesn't end there. As we see the Winchesters devastated by the deaths of Ketch and Rowena, Dean snaps at Cas and tells hims that it was all his fault for killing Belphegor and being irresponsible. Realizing that Dean still resents him, Cas decides to leave since he's getting weaker and that there's nothing more for him to do... It was a pretty sad ending and, from the preview, it looks like we're getting a 'case of the week' next episode which, by the way, isn't next week - only November 7. Also, I just realized that next episode is going to be directed by Jensen Ackles so, I'm curious.

And well, that's pretty much it. Sad episode, which makes me afraid for how the series is going to end. I'm prepared to have one of the brothers die, to be honest, but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Anyway, let me know what you thought of this episode. Which was the hardest death for you to watch? Tell me everything and I'll see you soon with The Flash's rant.

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 15 Episode 1 - "Back and to the Future"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and Welcome to the beginning of the end.

That's right, Supernatural is back with it's final season and it gives you a bittersweet feeling. I'm super stoked that one of my favorite series is back but, at the same time, you just can't get out of your mind that this will be the last season and that just puts you down right away. I'm sure it hit me harder because it's the first episode and, as soon as the season starts to picks up, I will forget about it and I'll only be reminded once it gets to the final three episodes.

But anyway, I'm here to talk about the final season premiere and that's what we're going to do.

The season picks up right where the last one ended and we see the Winchesters and Castiel barricade themselves inside a mausoleum in an attempt to get away from the 'zombies' outside (irony because their dad is in The Walking Dead, I just can't help but find that kind of funny). 

For a moment I had completely forgotten that Jack had died but that was short-lived (kind of). Jack did not exactly got back to life but he was possessed by the demon Belphegor who, I might tell you already, I'm starting to be a big fan of. It's weird to see Alex play anyone other than Jack (even if I did see him before on Arrow playing another character) but this demon is so damn funny and Alex does an amazing job portraying him so, as much as I love Jack and I want him back, I'm fine with having Alex play this demon for a while.

Anyway so Belphegor offers to help blasting the souls out of the reanimated corpses and that's what he does. After that, they realize what they really are up against this season - all the souls and creatures that they sent to hell throughout the years so they come up with a plan to keep all the ghosts in one town and evacuate all the people in that town.

At the same time they do that, some familiar ghosts appear and attack our heroes - Constance Welch (the woman in white), John Wayne Gacy and Mary Worthington (who I refuse to spell the way we know her - yes, I'm superstitious like that). Even with all those ghosts getting in the way, they successfully, get everyone out of the town and Belphegor does the spell that traps all the ghosts in said town.

But, if all of this wasn't enough, there's something else wrong - Sam. After shooting god Sam got shot himself also (as we knew he would) but the gunshot wound is different and not only Castiel isn't able to heal it but he also got a strange feeling from it so, I bet that's going to tie with the end of the season and, I might be reading too much into it but my theory is that Sam is going to die in the end. There's no way it all ends well so yeah, my bet, for now, is that Sam is going to be the one to die.

And well, the episode basically ends like that, with the brothers agreeing to face this 'end of the world' again and being free from God once and for all. 

I liked this first episode. It gave me a lot of season 1 vibes, not only with the ghosts that were in that same season but also all the atmosphere and the scares which I have to say, the first seasons were way scarier that this last ones. All in all, great season premiere, I'm going to be waiting for me.

Let me know what you thought of Supernatural's season premiere and do you have any theories already? Tell me everything and I'll see you late with the AHS rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 20 - "Moriah"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

So here I am, as promised, with the Supernatural Season 14 Finale rant, and what a finale!

I have to say, after the last couple of episodes, I went in with pretty low expectations and then, after the first few minutes, I really didn't think this would go out with a bang but... Oh boy! How I was wrong! I would even dare to say that this was the most epic season finale Supernatural has ever had and, after 14 seasons, they sure have some pretty big season finales! But this one! They sure are setting up the last season to be one of the best and that makes me so excited!

As we saw in the end of last episode, Dean's plan didn't really work that well and Jack was able to get out of the box. Luckily, he didn't do much damage to them because I really thought Jack would be really pissed and just kill them or something. He was pissed, sure, and he did attack them, but he fled pretty quickly and didn't waist any time in wrecking havoc (not on purpose though). I can't really blame Jack, to be honest, about what he did because I myself I'm a firm believer that you should never lie (and I can't even lie about anything, I feel so damn guilty) so I get why Jack made everyone say the truth all the time but then, he found himself in a situation where he had lied before, when he visited his grandparents and they tell him that they know he lied. 

At the same time Jack is doing all that, the Winchesters try to track him, and that's when God appears! I really wasn't expecting him so early in the episode and I was so excited about him being back! That was, until the last part of the episode, where he really pissed me off (but I'll get into that).

God does kind of help them and undoes what Jack did but when it comes to actually do something with Jack, he just can't. He warns them about Jack being a grave threat and that they must deal with him. For that, God gives them a weapon that can kill Jack, but it will also kill the person that handles the gun and so, it starts that thing between Sam and Dean where Dean wants to be the one to kill Jack and Sam just disagrees with the whole thing and even starts getting suspicious of God's motives.

Castiel also disagrees with the whole thing about killing Jack and even goes looking for him and that's one of the best moments happen, with such a cute talk between Castiel and Jack, just like a father and son talk, so damn sweet!

Unfortunately, Dean interrupts that moment and shows up in the cemetery where Castiel and Jack are, ready to kill Jack but, as he's about to kill him, he just can't bring himself to actually do it and just 'gives up'.

That's when God reveals that he has been manipulating the situation like a story that he writes and is angered about Dean not being able to kill Jack. Post that, God does it himself - he kills Jack, which was such an wow moment for me, followed by an even bigger moment where Sam tries to kill God with the gun and also shooting himself in the process. It then cut to commercial but, when the episode comes back, we see that Sam just hit him in the shoulder and both of them where okay. But, as you can imagine, God wasn't happy with what Sam did and so, he decides to end the world, turning the world into darkness and unleashing every soul from Hell, all the monsters that Sam and Dean sent there, all of them back - we even get to see the lady in the road (such a throwback from season 1).

But, that's not really the end. Before the episode actually ends, we see Jack in The Empty, first seeing the Shadow and then being approached by Billie who tells him that they need to talk about the current situation, which leads me to believe that we will see more of Jack in the future.

I actually saw a pretty good predictions where Jack will defeat God and become the new God and create more angels and everything and that's how the series will end. I'm fine with that, to be honest, but it's still too early to make assumptions so... Let's see what the last season brings!

I don't know about you but I'm extremely happy with this Season Finale and so excited for the next and final season. I'm probably going to react in video for the series finale but there's still a long way till then so... Let's not worry things.

Don't forget to let me know what you thought of this season finale and I'll see you probably tomorrow with a few more rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 19 - "Jack in the Box"

Spoiler Alert!

Hey peeps!

A bunch of rants in the same day, huh?!

I'm finally caught up on Supernatural and... I can I say I was underwhelmed?! I don't know if it was because I was extremely sleepy while watching this episode but it really didn't get my attention the way I thought it would (having in mind that this is the second to last episode of the season). I so disagree with everything that happened in this episode and ugh! I knew this wasn't going to end well (obviously!) and I'm with Jack on all this. It was extremely bad from Dean to try and trick Jack but I also have to criticize Sam because he went along with it. Sam should've said no because it obviously wouldn't work...

Anyway so, this whole episode, a bit like the last one, has a pretty simple premise - finding Jack.

While the brothers and Castiel keep looking for Jack, Duma finds him and starts using him to create more angels. Poor Jack is so thrilled about this because he thinks he's doing good and helping...

Luckily, Castiel finds out about what is happening in heaven and, in a really big twist, he kills Duma, which really shocked me.

And then, comes the really wrong part of the episode.

Dean comes up with the idea to lock Jack in the Ma'lak Box but at his own free will. The thing is, in order to have Jack agree into going inside box, they agree to basically lie to him and say that it's only temporary until they work out a spell (or whatever) to get is soul back.

Obviously things go south and Jack gets himself free of the box and the episode ends, but we can only imagine that he's pissed and he's probably going to be Lucifer 2.0 (which I don't know how I feel about that).

The only redeeming thing in this episode is the fact that Castiel completely disagrees with what the brothers did and he's basically the only one to remember that Jack is, in fact, only 2 years old. Poor Jack. Seriously, I felt really sorry for him and, usually, I agree with the brothers but in this... Nope, sorry! I'm with Jack!

Let me know where do you stand in this.

We know that in the next episode aka Season Finale, Chuck is going to make an appearance so, hopefully, it will be to restore Jack's soul.

Until then, I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 18 - "Absence"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello!

I'm finally here to review one of the two Supernatural episodes that I still have to review.

It's crazy because the season is almost ending and I almost didn't get to watch the last episode live because how far behind I was, but hopefully, after this rant, I'll watch episode 19 and then tomorrow I can watch the Season Finale live (so don't forget to live tweet with me @danixinhahhh).

Anyway so, technically, I had already seen this episode when it first aired, the thing is, I was only able to watch some parts because my stream kept crashing because of how slow the internet connection was so I had to watch the whole thing again. The good thing is that I knew what happened and I knew the outcome of that cliffhanger in episode 17, which was huge.

They don't really waste any time and, since the very first minutes of the episode you understand that Jack did kill Mary. I can't say I was either shocked or sad because I wasn't. The truth is, Mary didn't really grow on me so I wasn't exactly sad of her dying, I was more sad to see Sam and Dean sad and even more about Jack. Jack was really the one I felt sorry for because you could see he was hurting (in a way).

Then, the whole episode is basically the brothers, as well as Jack, trying to bring Mary back. I'm actually happy she didn't come back. Sometimes, in this type of shows, you don't really feel the stakes because, at any moment, they can bring that character back or bring the same actor to play a similar character, so it's nice to see them stick with this death (this doesn't mean that she won't be back in the future, in some other form, but for now, I'm happy with this outcome).

I also like the fact that we had Rowena back in this episode (it's always nice to have her) and basically both Jack and the Winchesters were asking for her help. Jack ends up doing the spell to bring Mary back but it doesn't work and the only thing that he brings back is her body, since he basically exploded her and there was no body.

The good thing in this whole mess is what Castiel finds out after going to heaven and talking to Duma. Not only she tells him that Mary died a painless death (which is always nice) but she also showed Castiel Mary's own heaven and he saw how happy she was there, with John, which reassured Sam and Dean. Of course it doesn't make it okay not that they won't be sad, but at least they know she's happy and in a better place.

In the very end, the Winchesters and Castiel give Mary a hunter's funeral while Jack keeps hallucinating with Lucifer, who tells him that he can't trust Sam and Dean anymore.

It was a nice episode but, because I had kind of already seen it, this 'second watch' didn't really stuck with me so, I'm really excited to see the next one and, obviously, the Season Finale, because we are going to have God back (he might even be in episode 19, I don't know, but please, don't spoil it for me).

I'll see you guys in a few hours.

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 17 - "Game Night"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

I know, I'm a bit late with this rant but, not only I have been trying to catch up on other stuff but, to be honest, I also didn't feel like talking about this episode, maybe because it wasn't that great.

Yes, unfortunately, this wasn't my favorite episode. It did end with a pretty big cliffhanger (and with an even bigger preview for next episode) but most of this week's Supernatural's episode felt a bit odd. Overall, it felt rushed and a bit all over the place and I was really confused throughout the whole thing (and not a good confused).

The basic premise of this episode was Nick trying to get Lucifer back into himself (what's new?!), starting with capturing Donatello as part of this complex ritual to do so. Needless to say that the Winchesters manage to save Donatello and prevent Lucifer from being back, sending him back to The Empty. The only issue was that, in the end, Jack ended up killing Nick, not that I blame him though. The truth is, this whole thing was a plot to make Jack 'turn' bad and I don't know how I feel about it. To be honest, I'm not even mad that Jack killed Nick. Nick was starting to get really annoying and, as much as I loved Lucifer and as much as I kind of missed him, this was just recycling the same story again and I'm ready to be done with Lucifer, as well as Nick so, I'm fine with Jack killing Nick. What I'm not fine with is the producers possibly making Jack the bad guy next season - I really don't want that. Unfortunately, it looks like it, mainly because, in the end of the episode, Jack did something to Mary, something that we didn't see so, she could be fine, she could be hurt or she could be even dead (which I wouldn't mad either, to be honest, I was never Mary's biggest fan). That was an huge cliffhanger and then, on top of that, they showed a preview where it looks like Dean and Castiel are going to separate ways and 'be mad' at each other, what makes me really sad. But let's see, might not be what it looks like.

Oh, speaking of Castiel, I might just add that in this episode we had a bit of Castiel and Anael trying to find a way to contact God which, not only was something nice (also to have Jensen's wife back) but also because they brought back the necklace that Dean used to wear all the time, which was such a throwback.

I don't think I have much more to say. Like I said, this wasn't my favorite episode and I felt weird about it but I'm excited about the next one.

Let me know what you thought of the episode, if you felt the same way as me and I'll talk to you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 16 - "Don't Go in the Woods"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys.

This post comes really in a bad time. Last night's episode was actually really funny but after today's news... I just can't. As if ending Arrow wasn't enough... Season 15 is also going to be Supernatural's last. That's right guys, the news came out today. I don't know why but they decided to end the show after next season and I'm just devastated. All my favorite shows are ending and, not only I won't have content for the blog anymore, but it's also a part of me, a part of my life, that will also end. TVD's end was the end of an era in my life and I believe this is the end of another era. I don't know what the universe is trying to say but it seems like they're saying that I'm too old to fan-girl about shows and... I just don't like that. But, anyway, I'm rambling now. Yes, it's so sad that another of my favorite shows is ending, but we still have a bit of time (Season 15 is going to have 20 episodes, from what I've read) and there's last night's episode to talk about so... Let's do it!

Like I said, this week's episode was also another fun one. Not as fun as the last one though, but it was nice - another case of the week with a sprinkler of Jack in is own story-line.

The episode actually begins in Polk City, Iowa, where a young couple is attacked by a monster which kills the girl. So, as you can expect, the brothers find about this and decide to head over to Iowa, but leaving Jack behind in the bunker.

Sam and Dean discover that they are facing a legendary monster called kohonta which the local sheriff reveals is a man that was cursed by the Native Americans for being a cannibal. Long story short, the Winchesters and the sheriff kill the kohonta and save the sheriff's son from it. Of course it wasn't that easy, it never is, but you already know the deal so I guess I don't have much explaining to do. Plus, there wasn't much to that story, to be honest. Yes, the monster was pretty gross and this episode gave us some Season 1 vibes but, apart from that, there wasn't much else. Well, there was a part where the sheriff asks the brothers why don't they let the whole world know about the monsters, like do some YouTube videos or something and, in one way, I found it really funny, imagining Sam and Dean doing some videos on how to kill a demon or something but, on the other hand, it gave me an idea of how the next season could be or, right now, after finding about the end of the series, how the show might end and... I'm kind of scared right now.

But anyway... At the same time all of that was happening with Sam and Dean, Jack befriends the local kids that know about the supernatural after that episode where they had an encounter with the ghost of John Wayne Gacy. The whole story-line with Jack and the kids was really funny - starting with him trying to buy beer and not having an ID, moving to him giving Elliot some books about monsters and... So many things about that part of the episode were super cute. Until Jack tries to show off his powers and almost killing Stacy with an angel blade. You know how Jack is, he gets really carried away and... like he mentioned in this episode, he's 2 years old in reality so, it's normal for him to act that way. I can't help but feel sad for him, really, because after that, the three kids just didn't care about him and sent him away. Poor Jack.

And, in the end, after arriving, the Winchesters admit the truth to Jack about why they left him behind, but Jack lies about what he did that day, which makes me kind of nervous, to be honest. And this was the episode.

Like I said, a lot of Season 1 vibes. Kind of chill but kind of heavy at the same time and, as we are approaching the end of the season, the episodes are going to get more serious and, from the looks of it, the next one is going to be good so... Let's see.

Unfortunately, the show only comes back in the beginning of April so... Another show on hiatus. It looks like it's just Arrow and The Challenge next week.

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 14 - "Ouroboros"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

It has a been an amazing week for all my favorite series (apart from Arrow) and Supernatural was another one of those.

After that amazing episode before the hiatus, they had a really hard job but they surely pulled it off and OMG, I think this episode was even better than the last one, which is saying a lot!

The episode began looking just like any other 'case of the week' episode - with the Winchesters, Castiel, Jack and Rowena following a case involving a monster that paralyzed people and then ate them. I must say, this monster was really cool and, if I'm not mistaken, something they had never mention, so that was nice. They eventually find out that that monster is a gorgon (aka medusa) who is unable to see, with his clairvoyant powers, Castiel and Jack because of their 'angel blood'. After trying countless times to catch them, after finding out about this little piece of information, they take advantage of that and use Castiel and Jack to ambush him, only to fail to defeat him. When the Winchesters intervene, they also fail and Dean ends up unconscious, just before Jack jumps to action and kills the gorgon himself, in a really out of nowhere scene. Really, I wasn't expecting that at all!

And this is when the episode changes directions.

Everyone is worried about Dean and him not waking up, also in fear of what might happen to Michael, while, at the same time, Jack struggles with the fact that he can't help Dean or he might burn all of his soul. 

Dean eventually wakes up but it's too late. They find every hunter in the bunker and that and that's when it's revealed that Michael forced Rowena to become his new vessel. Again, something that really surprised me! But this doesn't end here.

Jack feels like he must do something and that's when this amazing battle between Jack and Michael happen, ending with Jack exorcising Michael from Rowena and destroying the archangel, absorbing his grace and getting back his powers (and his wings, which was one of the most beautiful scenes ever!).

The episode just ends like that and, to be honest, it couldn't end better. The only issue now is, if we are done with the whole Michael thing (and we aren't getting into the Empty story-line this season, according to the producers) what is going to happen in the next 6 episodes?! This kind of makes me feel uneasy. I can clearly see this ending with an huge cliffhanger and I'm just not prepared for that.

Well, I guess that's all I can say about this episode. It seems like not much but I truly loved this episode (it's always like that, I lose my words when the episodes are that good). But I hope you don't lose yours and let me know what you thoughts of the episode.

I'll see you guys in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 11 - "Damaged Goods"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

So, as per usual, a little late with this rant but let's just get pass that and talk about the latest Supernatural episode.

This was a really 'interesting' episode for me. After how the last one ended, I was really curious so to see where the story was headed - plus, I saw Nick in the trailer so I was curious about all that as well - unfortunately, the Nick part of the episode was just... Boring.

The episode started pretty well with Dean acting strangely and departing the bunker to visit Mary and Donna. Right away, I liked to see a bit of Donna in this episode and we had a pretty nice one-on-one moment between Dean and Donna that doesn't happen often so... That was nice! Also, I can't get other that 'He hugged me!' scene with Sam. I saw it a bunch of times in the preview and every time it cracks me up. Anyway so, Dean goes to Donna's cabin to spend some time with Mary but not just that - and that's when we see him start building something in Donna's cabin's workshop.

Later, Mary finds out about what Dean is building (with us, the audience, still unaware of what it really is) and alerts Sam who travels to Hibbing, Minnesota to confront his brother. After that, that's when the episode takes a turn for the worst.

We get into Nick's part of the episode and we see him continuing his bloody  rampage of revenge by searching for Abraxas, who he then learns was captured by Mary while slaughtering a Girl Scout troop. Of course, finding about that, Nick goes after Mary, kidnaps her and forces her to lead him to a storage unit where Abraxas is trapped inside an Enochian box.

The boys learn about what is happening with Mary and so, with the help of Donna, they track down Nick as he releases Abraxas into someone else that he kidnapped. The expected happens and, as things are getting worse, Abraxas confesses what everyone already knew - that he killed Nick's family on Lucifer's orders. Finding about this, Nick kills Abraxas with an angel blade, getting his revenge and then is arrested by Donna. And, apparently, we are done with Nick's story. Obviously that's not it because I still suspect that Lucifer is going to be back and maybe even help the boys really kills Michael but, for now, that's it. And that's also when we get back to the good part of the episode.

Dean reveals to Sam that he built a box that can permanently contain even an archangel as according to Billie - being the only option that they really have. That's when we find out what really is Dean's plan - to trap himself with Michael for eternity at the bottom of the ocean. Of course Sam doesn't take that that well (neither did I, by the way) but in the end, Sam agrees with Dean and that really worried me. Of course we know that that's probably not going to happen and, if it does, they'll find a loophole or something because we still have 9 episodes left in this season and there's no way we're going to spend those remaining episodes without Dean so... I'm curious to see how things will work out. 

We can't also forget about the whole thing with Castiel and The Empty so... Just gonna keep that in mind.

I seriously hope they get done with the Michael story-line because it's getting a bit boring in my opinion. But anyway... Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 8 - "Byzantium"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and welcome to the last rant of the week!

This episode of Supernatural was such a roller coaster!

It started out pretty strong (sad, but strong) with the whole Jack dying which, to be completely honest, really surprised me because I didn't think they would go there, as well as with the scene in the banner, which I really enjoyed, and then it ended in a high note as well, not wanting to ruin it for everyone, but with Jack alive again and as close to a happy ending as we'll ever get. But that was basically it. The whole middle part of the episode was a lot, in my opinion, and kind of a mess. I feel like they tried to pack so much stuff and I feel like most of what happened didn't even make sense but then, there was no time to breath so I couldn't think properly about it (and maybe that was their intention). I feel like, if you wanted to kill Jack, spend a little more time with him dead. But anyway, let's break down the whole thing piece by piece.

Like I said, the episode begins with Jack dying and the brothers (with Castiel) mourning his death. The morning after that's when they start to really deal with the situation and that's when Sam contacts angel expert Lily Sunder, now an old woman, who tells them that there might be a way to bring Jack back using her magic and a bit of Jack's soul to sustain him. Now, all of this looks a bit much to me, mainly the whole thing with her being old. I mean, it kind of makes sense but, at the same time, it just looks like they didn't have the other actress available so they had to go with an older one. And then, as I've mentioned before, it looks like they are realizing that they have too many characters on the show so they are trying to get rid of them. I don't know, that's just what I get from all of this.

Anyway, besides that, there's the whole thing where the only thing she asks in return is a way to get to Heaven because she's sure that she's going to Hell and she just wants to be reunited with her daughter in Heaven. And so, in order to make that happen, they summon Anubis who basically says that she's not going to Heaven and that it's not up to him to change her faith, it's the choices that you make while you're leaving that determine where you go.

Once again, I get all of this, in the end, it made sense but... I just feel like it was a lot.

So, even though she didn't get what she wanted, Dean convinces her to help them and so they get prepared to bring Jack back from Heaven.

In order to do so, Castiel goes back to Heaven and that's when we see that a lot have been happening there. We see Jack leaving his 'personal Heaven' and going to his mom's Heaven, spending some time with her, while there's a dark force that is chasing Jack in Heaven and just creating chaos.

In the beginning, I thought it was Lucifer, because of what happened in the last episode, but it turns out it is 'The Empty' which, from what happened next, they are either setting this up for an upcoming season or Michael won't be the Big Bad this season and the Empty is going to take Michael's place as the villain this season.

What happens next is that Castiel finds Jack and that's also when they come face to face with the Empty. We learn that the Empty wants Jack because he's part angel, and so he should go there and that's when Castiel makes a deal with the entity to trade himself for Jack, a deal that the entity chooses not to collect right away, only in a few years, when Castiel has forgotten about this deal and his leaving a happy life (which, from the look of the show, might never happen, to be honest).

Castiel decides not to tell the Winchesters about this deal, which made me really upset, and asks Jack to do the same, which he agrees. Also, as a thank you for saving the angels in Heaven from the Empty, Naomi gives Castiel the location of Michael, which is a pretty big success.

Also a success is Jack's resurrection, even though the effort causes Lily to suffer a fatal heart attack. And, well, as you can expect, she is judged again by Anubis and, this time, she is accepted in Heaven and is reunited with her daughter.

As I told you, this is as close to an happy ending as we'll ever get, which is nice, but there's still so many things going on. We do now know the whereabouts of Michael, but just like they mentioned in the episode, they still have to find Kaya and the Spear in order to kill Michael and then there's this whole thing with the Empty and this spell 'consuming' Jack's soul which I'm sure is going to be a problem in the future. 

This makes me happy thought, because it means there's so much content for upcoming seasons but it was just a lot for only one episode.

I don't know... Let me know your thoughts on this episode and I'll see you next week with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 6 - "Optimism"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here I am with a brand new Supernatural rant!

I had quite a lot of fun watching this episode. I really liked it! There were some parts that were kind odd, such as the whole thing with Sam and 'Charlie', but I think the Dean and Jack part of the episode made up for it and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Well, you couldn't expect otherwise because Richard Speight Jr. was, once again, the director of the episode and, once again, he made a masterpiece. I really enjoyed the music choices! The only thing though, and this is not Richard's fault, but there was no Cas, again, and I kind of miss him. But anyway, let's get deep into the episode.

The episode starts with some happy tunes but not so happy events, with a guy from McCook, Nebraska, being killed. Finding about this, Jack convinces Dean to work this case with him and so the fun begins!

Dean and Jack discover that the local librarian, Harper Sayles, has a bad history with men and suspect her to be cursed. In order to find more about this whole thing, Dean sets up Jack to kind of flirt with her and see what happens. That's when Dean gets attacked, not by Harper, but Vance, Harper's old boyfriend who is a zombie resurrected by Harper herself, a necromancer. She explains that this is kind of a 'game' that she does with a boyfriend and since he needs to eat human skin (or whatever) in the end, she basically 'gives' this boys for Vance to eat.

Well, in the end, Dean and Jack manage to kill Vance, but Harper escapes and develops an obsession with Jack (I kind of hope she comes back at some point in this season because I was kind of shipping her with Jack #sorrynotsorry).

At the same time, Sam is working a case with Charlie Bradbury in Memphis, Tennessee. The two determinate that they are dealing with some type of insect monster called Musca and kill it very easily. I don't really know what to say about this story-line apart from that the Musca was really gross and creepy. Kind of liked that.

Before I finish, I just need to mention that very end of the episode which set up a pretty big cliffhanger.

So, during the episode, Jack's strange cough persists and then, at the very end of the episode, Jack coughs up blood in front of Dean before suddenly collapsing, bleeding from his nose and mouth.

I seriously hope they don't kill off Jack because I love him! I know there are too many characters in the show right now, mainly because they just decided to bring a lot of the dead ones back, but if I had to choose, I would rather still have Jack and get rid of Mary and Bobby. I'm sorry, but they don't really add anything new to the story and, to be honest, when Mary got back, it looked like she was going to change a lot of things but... She just got really annoying and yeah... Don't kill Jack, please!

Anyway... Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and, this time, we are going to have to wait a little bit longer for a new Supernatural episode. In the mean time, I'll see you with new The Flash and Arrow rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 5 - "Nightmare Logic"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Here I am with the last rant of the week - Supernatural.

I have to say, I'm not quite sure of what to think about this episode. It was a nice episode, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't like amazing! There was quite a few stuff that I liked (mainly the ending, to be honest) but nothing really stood out to me so... I'm confused.

Anyway, the episode starts with Maggie who, while working on her first solo case, disappears. From her body camera, Sam and Dean learn that Maggie was hunting what appeared to be a ghoul, who might have caught her off guard. And this is what sets the whole episode.

While investigating, the Winchesters encounter their mother and Bobby Singer who are investigating the same case. The four discover the body of another hunter and weird manifestations that make them suspect that the owner of the house, who is comatose, is some type of psychic and that he's bending reality around them.

And then that's when my favorite part happens.

Sam does find Maggie in the attic of the house meanwhile Bobby and Mary fight Bobby's son (another weird manifestation) in the woods. And, while all of this is happening, Dean realizes that the home owner's nurse is a djinn, enhanced by Michael, and that he's do one 'creating' all this monsters.

Neil reveals that he was left as a trap for hunters by Michael and that are dozens of similar traps all over the place. Then, obviously, the djinn tries to attack Dean and that's when we see that, for some odd reason, Dean is immune to the djinn's powers and that's when Dean attacks him and kills him.

Finding this information (about all the traps that are spread around the globe) Sam and Dean spread the word warning other hunters while Bobby tells Mary, who has begun falling for him (as we predicted) how since he lost his son, hunting is all he's had and known. Post this, Mary and Bobby decide to take time off in order for Bobby to heal as well as find something else to live for.

I'm actually pretty happy with this. I haven't been loving Mary that much and I think there have been too many characters on the show right now so I think this is great so he can get back to focus on the brothers. Also, this is a great way to have Jack and Cas back, which we will, from what we've seen in the preview.

I really don't know what else to say about this episode so tell me all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you next week with new rants!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 4 - "Mint Condition"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

I'm not even going to apologize again because you know the drill, so let's just jump right into the actual rant.

This was a nice little episode. It wasn't anything amazing because it didn't really kept the story going, but it was a good one because, not only it was a break from all the madness that have been happening in the past episode (and even seasons) but it was a nice nod to the old days, with only Sam and Dean, working by themselves on a case. I have to admit, I missed Castiel and Jack on this episode, and I was actually really looking forward to see Jack, without powers, working on a case, but I believe we will see that in the future, but this 'only the brothers' episode was a really good one because it really were only Sam and Dean that were in this episode (from the main/recurring cast, I mean), no Bobby, no Mary, anyone really and, surprisingly, I liked that!

Anyway... So, this episode was set in Halloween, which was nice (in case you didn't know, I love Halloween) and in which a toy attacks its owner, Stuart.

Sam and Dean go check it out and that's when both Stuart and Dean are attacked by an invisible figure with a chainsaw. After that 'encounter', Sam and Dean determine that they are dealing with the vengeful spirit of the comic shop owner, where Stuart works, because Stuart have been stealing stuff from the shop.

After that, the spirit possesses a life-size figure of Dean's favorite horror movie character, David Yeager, who attacks Dean in an hospital where he's keeping an eye on Stuart.

Well, as you can expect, Sam manages to destroy the ghost. And after that, while Dean and Sam are getting back to the bunker, Sam reveals the reason why he hates Halloween - a traumatic event in his childhood where he got embarrassed in an Halloween party in front of the girl that he liked.

This was a really random moment, and not really that important to the story, nor the episode, but it was something nice that they added. Plus, I feel like this 're-created' the bonding that there is between Sam and Dean, and I always love that.

And, that's it guys! Not a big big episode, but a nice one!

Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in my next rant (which I don't really know when that's going to be, sorry).

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 3 - "The Scar"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here I am with the last rant of the week - Supernatural.

Once again I was able to watch this episode live (although I missed a few minutes of the beginning) and I'm so glad I did because this was a really interesting episode. There wasn't anything major that left me surprised or really excited, but it was an interesting episode overall.

Like the title says, this episode was all about the scar that Dean finds in his body.

I the beginning, I was really intrigued buy the name of the episode, but as soon as I saw that scar, I understood.

So, in order to remember where it came from, and know more about Michael and his plans, Dean asks Castiel to search in this mind for stuff and that's when they see Michael being attacked by a hooded figure with a spear, the same spear that injured Michael, and pretty soon they recognize the figure as the same one that killed Kaia in 'The Bad Place'.

Then, the Winchesters team up with Jody, who has been investigating a series of murders where the victims all have scars just like the one Dean has. They then discover that this victims are, in fact, some of the monsters that Michael have been experimenting on. As they discover this, the hooded figure attacks them and that's when they realize that it's Kaia's doppelgänger from 'The Bad Place'.

They get to capture her and learn a lot about her, such as that she's also a dream-walker and that she has been sharing visions with Kaia her whole life. Dean also tries to get an hold of the spear, but Kaia doesn't tell him, and that's the moment where enhanced vampires, sent by Michael attack them.

Kaia ends up saving their lives but then leaves with the spear.

This was a pretty badass moment and, to be honest, all of Kaia's scenes were pretty good and I'm glad she's back because I had totally forgotten about this hooded figure so, this is a nice touch to this season.

Probably my favorite part of the episode was actually the whole Jack story-line (which has a lot more to come, I can feel it).

Jack, feeling useless without his powers, tries to leave the bunker but, suddenly, he takes interest in a young woman that the hunters saved from a witch. But, the issue his, she's not really saved, because she's aging to death and neither Castiel's powers nor a reverse spell can save her.

That's when Jack realizes some stuff and he's actually the one to save this girl and bring her back to life after dying.

This was a pretty cute moment, even more with Castiel congratulating him. But then, Jack hides the fact that he is now coughing up blood and that really worried me. First, I thought it was just a cold, and that was pretty cute, but then I saw the blood and now I'm really worried about Jack because I love him and he's so precious that I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on the latest Supernatural episode.

Next one is going to be a case of the week type of episode and, surprisingly, I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like I need some 'normality' so what's better then a case of the week? Plus, Jack is coming along this time (at least I'm counting on that) so I'm going to be so much fun.

So, let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll talk to you next week!

Love,

Daniela.

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 2 - "Gods and Monsters"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Today I am here with the new Supernatural rant (the The Flash rant it's coming soon, I promise) and what an episode! 

Thank god I was right about Richard Speight Jr. saving this episode! And he really did! After last episode, my hopes were a little low, but I had faith in Richard and he did an amazing job with this episode. Unlike the previous one, this felt like a Supernatural episode. Everything was a lot more authentic and I loved the interactions between the characters and the whole story made a lot more sense and, overall, it was just so much better than and I truly loved it! Also, I got to watch the episode live (and live tweet) so that's always a plus.

Like I was saying, this episode touched a little bit on everything and we got development for basically all the characters. We saw Jack still struggling with not having powers, we see Jack and Cas have some really nice bonding moments and, overall, Jack was just a cutie this episode, mainly when he goes to visit his grandparents - that was such a sweet part of the episode.

We also get more development from Nick, seeing him still tormented by what Lucifer did using him and he even displays some aggressive and even Lucifer-like behavior, causing Castiel to suspect that Lucifer did more damage than they thought. This is even worse when Nick remembers that his wife and son were murdered and it never got solved, setting him off after revenge. Actually, the last scene that we see with Nick was a really alarming one with him going to his neighbor Arty, the only witness, for answers and then just killing him. I don't really know what to think about this, to be honest, but I kind of miss Lucifer so it's nice to have Mark Pellegrino not playing exactly Lucifer but a character somehow similar to him.

Then, there's the 'major' thing this season - Michael.

We see that he's still in Dean's body and that he has been experimenting on vampires, feeding them angel grace in a way to form some type of enhanced monster.

Michael's experiments draw the attention of Sam, Bobby and Mary who investigate while Michael makes a deal with a pack of werewolves to create this enhanced monsters and wipe out the human race.

Also, turns out Michael created a trap and then this enhanced monsters attack Sam, Mary and Bobby, making them realize that they are immune to silver but not to decapitation. After the fight, Dean suddenly arrives with Michael no longer inside him. Dean explains that Michael left his body on his own, but he doesn't know why.

To be honest, my first thought was that Michael was playing them, but after watching the preview for next episode, I guess this really is Dean and Michael must have a much bigger plan. Also, I don't know how I feel about being really Dean. I mean, I really missed Dean and I much prefer Jensen as Dean then as Michael, but it seemed too easy. I don't know...

Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you soon with the new The Flash rant!

Love,

Supernatural | Season 14 Episode 1 - "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

I know, I know. I'm so late with all this rants. Hopefully, I'll be able to update you all on everything by the end of the week but, for now, you're going to have to bare with me. 

Anyway, today I'm here to talk to you about the season premiere of Supernatural. Unfortunately, I don't really have good things to say about this episode. Really, it pains me to say that I didn't like this episode and this might be the first time that I don't like a Supernatural episode. I don't know what it was but a lot of things felt off and I truly believe it's the director and the writer's fault because the actors were all pretty great.

So, we learn that three weeks have passed since Michael took over Dean's body and that Michael have been asking a lot of people the question "what do you want?" in a way to see who is 'worth' or something (which we kind of learn by the end of the episode). One of the people that he goes to talk to is the angel Anael aka Jo aka Danneel (Jensen's wife) and this must have been the only thing that I liked about the episode - seeing Jensen and Danneel act together. It was nice and funny at the same time. From that, it was just downhill.

Back in the bunker, everything is different! And, I guess that's the reason why I didn't like this episode. Everything felt so off and weird. Me, as a person, I hate change. I like to stick to a routine and know what I'm supposed to do and to go and what to expect and, seeing everything in this show so different from what it used to be... I guess it just upset me. First, Sam and Dean not being 'together' was so weird. Not that this hasn't happened before, but this time I fee like it's different. Plus, there's all other things that changed in this episode (and this season) - Sam is now the leader of a hunter group or something, which also means the bunker is full of people and that is also weird. Then there's Jack who doesn't have powers anymore which is extremely weird and, there's something going on between Mary and the Bobby from the other world which... weird!

Well, I guess there was another thing that surprised me and that I quite liked about this episode - Nick still being alive. And, if you don't know who Nick is, he's the vessel that Lucifer possessed (aka Mark Pellegrino) who survived after Lucifer being killed. I don't know what this means... Maybe there's a way for Lucifer to be back? To be honest, I'm really torn about that. In one hand I king of want him back because I just like Mark playing Lucifer but, on the other hand, it's getting tired of Lucifer always getting back so... Maybe they'll stick with him dead but still have Mark around as Nick. By the way, someone else that I really want to be back is Gabriel. And, there might be a chance that he's alive because I saw some set photos of Richard Speight Jr. with Jared and Jensen so... Maybe Gabriel is alive?! It can also just be the fact that Richard directed some episodes (one of them being the next one) but I'm going to keep on believe that Gabriel is still alive because I just love him too much.

Anyway, back to the story...

In a way to try to find Dean, Castiel goes to meet with the Demon Kipling who then ambushes him in hopes of making a deal with Sam and becoming the new King of Hell. Of course, Sam goes to rescue Castiel, not alone, of course and, in the end, he's able to kill Kipling and letting all the other demons know that there won't be no more Kings of Hell, something that he will enforce and the demons accept out of fear of Sam.

So, I guess that's pretty much it for this rant.

Like I said, I didn't like it, it was too weird for my liking but, hopefully, the next one will be better, mainly because it's Richard who directed the next episode and I always like his episodes so, I have faith.

Let me know what you thought of Season 14 premiere of Supernatural and I'll see you in my next rant (which might be still today - The Challenge - but I can't promise you anything).

Love,

Daniela.
