Supernatural - "War of the Worlds" - Season 13 Episode 7 Recap and Review

It seems as though we may have yet another villain on our hands. In the parallel universe Mary and Lucifer are trapped, and it seems Archangel Michael may not be the highly respected Angel we are familiar with. Is it possible for him to be sadistic? Because he certainly seems to fit the bill. I was quite amused to see this universe has a Kevin, I missed him, even if he does help this creepy Michael take Lucifer’s grace. Given the fact we still need to find out what the heck happened to Jack, and I don’t see that happening soon. Asmodeus definitely hasn’t given up his search for him. And now the guys have discovered that Ketch may be back in the game too? Yikes, this is getting crazy. But, nothing is too surprising in the Supernatural world. And here I go, rooting for Lucifer again. I found myself silently cheering as he made his escape from that universe, and their twisted version of Michael.

Just when I was hoping to get answers about Mary we see a witch reach out to the guys with news of Ketch. He’s been slaughtering women in search of Rowena. We all know she’s dead, so this lead me to believe perhaps this is a clone of Ketch, and possible the BML has a slew of such clones, waiting to take his place. Then when it came back from commercial, all my questions are answered when we find out Ketch was a Twin, Alexander. And as his brother Alexander confesses, the Ketch we know was the Donnie Osmond of the family. We also learned that this twin left the school for the BML to kill monsters, becoming a hunter in his own right.

The plot twist I wasn't expecting? Lucifer coming to save Castiel. They came to try to strong-arm Castiel into helping them enslave Jack into a life of creating Angels. We obviously know Castiel would have willingly died fighting the angels to protect Jack from that. Lucifer’s time in the other universe seems to have softened him up a bit. He seems to not be as self-serving as he has been in the past. He is still manipulative, but he wouldn’t be Lucifer if he wasn’t. But I’m glad he sees the evil in that other Michael. I just hope that Castiel helps him, because dang, he’s right. If this Michael makes it to our universe everyone is screwed. I really wish we knew what the heck was cloaking Jack. Nobody can sense this kid. It makes me wonder if maybe God finally came back? But I sincerely doubt that considering it’s been so long.

Sam seriously needs a hobby though, because come on. Jack has barely been gone five minutes and he already has a new project. He seems to have taken the same, soft, protective role over the new Ketch. Dean, well, he could care less.

I was really looking forward to the showdown between Lucifer and Asmodeus but without his grace, Lucifer might as well submit and save himself the fight. It’s a good thing the guys weren’t too far behind their trail though. But of course, it’s never easy. In this instance, while taking on some demons, were nearly defeated. But new Ketch came just in time to save the day, further making Dean question his back story. And he was right to do so. His story was complete crap, it was Ketch. Rowena had done the same spell for him as she had used on herself to keep coming back from the dead. Just when I was beginning to believe Ketch was telling the truth about being a good guy, we see him on team Asmodeus. Really? That guy is in the fight for who is the bigger jerk with this other Michael. So let’s hope those two take each other down and leave Cas out. I mean seriously, we just got him back. I can take him being imprisoned by Asmodeus but, he better not get sent into the nothingness again.

Supernatural - "Tombstone" - Season 13 Episode 6 Recap and Review

Written by Kaylynn Kasandra

This week’s episode had just the right amount of cheesy humor, which is one of my favorite things about this show. I was way too excited to see the reunion between the guys and Castiel, since that was where last week left off. I was expecting a bit more of a fuss, so it made me chuckle when Dean left it simple with, “Welcome back Pal.” But he certainly didn’t hide how happy he was. I must say, Jack caught up fast. He already knows how to search for cases, even if he may not quite understand all the monsters quite yet. It was nice to see him seemingly part of the crew now. It was quite amusing to see him pitch his ideas to the guys, even if it was off. But, I have to say it was more amusing to see how excited Dean was about the idea of the case being in Dodge City. Seeing the guys in full Western gear was pretty funny, I can’t lie. Dean’s appreciation for all things Western definitely payed off. It’s because of him they were able to identify the ghoul as taking form of an old cowboy, Dave Mather.

Jack luckily had been paying attention when they were questioning the town undertaker, and noticed the ghoul is her boyfriend. Smart move on the ghoul's part to pick an undertaker as a live-in girlfriend. Easy access to bodies that’s for sure. Unfortunately for Dave, he killed the wrong deputy once he knew they were closing in. The deputy was the sergeant's nephew and he wasn’t leaving the death of his nephew alone.

What I thought was going to be a very lighthearted episode quickly changed moods. Jack once again lost control of his power. Trying to protect the guys from Dave, he pushed a little too hard and ended up killing a security guard in the process. Jack, being just as emo as Sam obviously takes it hard. Way harder than we could have expected. Dean tells Cas and Sam to take Jack back home and that he’d finish up. Which, I must say he did pretty flawlessly. Joining forces with the sergeant, they track Dave down. Though Dave isn’t far behind them and ends up stealing Dean’s back up, literally. It was pretty funny watching Dean’s reluctance to follow the sergeant's path through the ghoul’s tunnel. You can’t blame him either because that seemed to be exactly what he wanted. When Dean got to the end of the tunnel he saw it led back to the morgue where Athena and the sergeant are waiting like sitting ducks.

After releasing Athena and turning to assess the sergeant, Dean was cornered, weaponless by ghoulish Dave. Luckily for Dean he was blocking Dave’s view of the sergeant who had his weapon ready. Just when the ghoul thought he was going to win, Dean steps aside like a boss allowing the sergeant to get his revenge. You really can’t expect any less from Dean. He knows what it feels like to want to get revenge on someone or something that has killed someone he loves. This sergeant seemed pretty mellow though. He didn’t seem to want to question anything and took Dean’s suggested cover story. It was sweet that Dean made sure the ghoul would take the wrap for the guy Jack accidentally killed.

Sadly, it wouldn’t help. Nothing would. Even Castiel’s pep talk didn’t help Jack feel better. Jack being the ever-emotional half angel he is decides everyone would be better off without him. In what I am sure he thought was a selfless act he knocks everyone out cold and takes off. What a lovely welcome home from Castiel, eh? Like he hasn’t dealt with enough drama between his own emotional turmoil and from the Winchesters, now Cas will have to take on Jack’s too. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. I mean, Jack basically still knows nothing about the world other than what he’s observed from the guys. Now he’s going out into a world where everyone of supernatural pull wants him for themselves. This will get very messy.

Supernatural - "Advanced Technology" - Season 13 Episode 5 Recap and Review

By Kaylynn Kasandra

It seems as though the trend of this season is to dribble a few fluffy cases into the episodes as background to the real issues. Which to be honest, make sense. It would get a little redundant to constantly have crazy action or emo Dean and Sam. So, I won’t even hate on that part. I just wish the cases were a little more attention grabbing. For some reason in this episode I felt like it was stale. Another ghost case involving some old guy, (in this case an old doctor from the time of the plague) and not really anytime to feel connected to those involved in the case. Thus explaining why I didn’t really seem to want to pay much mind to the case itself.

Source: The CW

Honestly, I was waiting for the return of Castiel. I was hoping it would happen early on in the episode, but of course, it didn’t. But, that being said, we did get what we needed from this episode regardless. We see the dynamic between Sam and Dean flipped once again. In the start of the episode Sam is handling Dean like he’s going to break. And, I can’t blame him, because he did appear as though he might. Unfortunately for Sam, Dean saw right through him and knew he was playing favor to him. I guess offering to go to the strip club and being willing to leave Jack behind was the giveaway.

Source: The CW

Once they were knee deep in trapped ghosts it became abundantly clear that Dean was far more broken than even he may have wanted to admit. After everything they have been through dying and coming to life and breaking cosmic promises, Dean was more than willing to do it all over again. He willingly died once again, and was met by an old foe. Billi, the once reaper, thought dead, is now Death. Snaps. It wasn’t looking too good for Dean given their history. But, despite herself, she needs him.

Dean just as surprisingly needed her too. In more ways than one. It was her pep talk that really opened him up to see his pain for what it was. I can’t be sure that he would have admitted how much he wanted to die otherwise. You could see his desperation and it was such a far cry from what Billi had seen from him in the past. The once fierce and cocky Dean was now sad and weakened. I could tell pretty early on in their conversation she wouldn’t keep him in a state of death, and he’d return to Earth. She knew that he has knowledge she needed, and keeping him alive, she may gain even more insight in the future.

Source: The CW

Its seems like Jack may be a blind spot for Billi. She couldn’t see how they were able to gain access to other dimensions. Hopefully the guys see this as an advantage later on, because if the all seeing Death can’t see it, Lucifer probably can’t either. Speaking of, we still have no answers about Mary and Lucifer and what they’re up to. I have a feeling we may not for awhile either, they really want to drag that out. Time can only tell. I just find it annoying. We get this big cliffhanger with them being approached by the archangel Michael from that dimension, then radio silence. But hey, at least we got to see Castiel return at the end. Seeing Dean’s face was worth wading through the fluff. I can’t wait to see Jack’s reaction to Castiel and vice versa. I hope things pick up a little now that the band is back together.
