Supernatural - "The Future" - Season 12 Episode 19 Recap and Review

I can’t lie, even after 12 seasons this show still keeps me interested. And I was exceptionally excited that we saw Castiel return unharmed in this episode. But I can’t really say that the episode ended that way. We see Kelly at the start of the episode decide to end the potential threat of the ever-growing nephilim in her stomach. But to my surprise, and perhaps yours, the baby brought her back from death after her attempted suicide. Yikes. I have a feeling this wasn’t an act done out of the love of his mother. As Dagon said, he was protecting himself, and Kelly is dumb to believe otherwise.

We can see that not only is this baby nephilim already stronger than we could have imagined, he seems to be just as cunning and manipulative as his father, Lucifer. The way he worked Castiel in this episode is very disheartening. Being #TeamCastiel all day, I am hoping he will not become a mindless drone at the will of this evil being. Speaking of how deep my love goes for this very troubled angel Castiel, I definitely succumbed to my inner fangirl and stole his awesome voicemail. Nerdy or not, it was too good not to. I mean, it’s classic Castiel. Also, classic Castiel: watching his seemingly good intentions backfire. He knows he can’t fail anymore, and sadly, I am thinking he is well on his way to doing just that.

The nephilim has convinced Kelly he is good and needs to get to Heaven, at any cost. Yikes. Maybe having this crazy devilish baby unleash his wrath in Heaven is that cosmic threat we have been waiting all season for. And how messed up would it be that my darling Castiel is the one to get him exactly where he needs to be to make that happen. He did the right thing in his mind by lying as saying he didn’t know Kelly’s location so he and his angel buddies could go get her to bring her back to Heaven to be, um… neutralized. But we see how well that worked out, as it ended in the death of a few angels.

And fearing the wrath of Lucifer, Dagon made sure to track them down on their way back to Heaven. As did Dean and Sam. And sadly for our favorite brothers, this showdown ended with the destruction of their beloved Colt. My heart sank a little as I watched Dagon so effortlessly destroy it. Where else are they going to find such a weapon? I am sure that will add yet another thing to the list of reasons the British Men of Letters want them dead. Speaking of; we didn’t really see any progress in that storyline in this episode. But judging by the previews for next week, we will get back to it then.

The idea that Castiel has been handpicked by the nephilim himself to “protect him” is really strange to me. And seeing him be not only possessed by him but also healed in order to defeat Dagon is a testament to how strong this child is going to be. I am really hoping I am wrong about him and that he will use his power for good as Kelly wants to believe, but in the world of Supernatural I can’t see that happening. And I wonder how his dad is going to react to his child’s life choice thus far. After all, he made sure one of Lucifer’s dedicated soldiers met her demise, so will he be proud or pissed?  I am however thankful to see Castiel finally back at his full power, even if it was at the help of this evil little fetus.

Things are definitely picking up again, and I have a feeling it may slow down again for another episode or so to give us more time for this big buildup and possible showdown. I am going to continue to try to be as optimistic as possible about this baby’s intentions. I can only hope that killing Joshua isn’t a taste of what he plans to do once he gets to Heaven. I mean his dad Lucifer can feel him, so does he have the same connection to his dad? Do you think he can receive orders from his dear old dad once born, or even now? I really can’t wait to see how this all plays out. And I wonder if we will see the return of God and his sister The Darkness once things really pop off. Here is hoping we do, because we are going to need all the power players in this battle.

The Path - "Mercy" - Season 2 Finale - Recap and Review

View fullsize

Source: Hulu

To be honest, I was expecting more from this episode seeing that it was the finale. Considering all the action packed into last week’s episode, I was shocked to see this episode wasn’t as crazy. Having left off with the suicide of Richard, I really expected things to get really grimy this episode between Cal and Eddie. But it seems, this episode was setting up for the season three premiere instead. We start this episode with Eddie, Sarah, and Summer, who were hiding away in Canada. I was surprised to see Eddie still being the bigger person, standing by her side and helping her even after telling Gaines he wouldn’t. I wasn’t however surprised to see Gaines track them down; after all, he is an FBI agent. Eddie always one step ahead, was able to warn Sarah and Summer so that Gaines didn’t see them. But it didn’t help them when their new Canadian neighbor felt suspicious of Sarah knowing she had to be hiding from something. And Sarah being the coward she is, gave up. She chose to run and head back to the states and take her punishment. She wanted things to be over.

Eddie and Cal had already spoke to Ms. Dukan, and worked to have her charges dropped. So when she reached the border, convinced she would be taken in and then wasn’t, you could see the confusion on her face. And boy did this annoy me. This broad gets away with everything! Every time she makes a dumb choice and you are convinced she will get punished something happens and she gets off. And then, when she returned to the movement and Felicia told her she should lead, wow. That was too much for me. How can they still adore this woman? She freaking hooked up with Creepy Cal and put the whole movement at risk. And if they knew she helped hide Silas’ body, they definitely wouldn’t have her back.

I was just grateful it seems like Hawk is finally coming to his senses. He showed up to talk to Eddie and begged him to make him believe in him. That’s a huge change from last week when he called him Eddie and tried to disown him. I am just so so happy Hawk finally knows what a creep Cal is! We can thank Mary for that. She told him Cal was her baby’s dad, and that was the final nudge he needed to see him for who he is.

Agent Gaines seems to still believe in Eddie. And it seems like he knows the movement isn’t all bad. It was nice to see him track down the doctor he blamed for being an FBI agent and helped Eddie bring her in from the streets. He also brought Eddie back to the states where his apartment was filled with people from the movement who believed in Eddie as the true leader of the movement. Eddie still seemed to be struggling with the idea of leading, but I can see him not wanting to disappoint them, so he continued to preach to them from his apartment, and help them see how they can truly impact those who need them. And once again, the people who make this show possible did a great job at foreshadowing. We see Eddie preaching to his ever growing congregation while Cal was preaching to an empty room.

As annoyed as I may be that this episode didn’t have too much action, I was so happy with the ending. Seeing Eddie return to the movement with his congregation was awesome. I have been #TeamEddie since episode one, so it was awesome seeing him finally step into the role I have been waiting for. I was even more excited to see Hawk be the one to open the gate for them. He also has had Eddie’s back, so it was nice to see him do so publicly. With the deniers no longer being shunned, things are going to be so intense next season. There will be more and more people there in support of the new direction the movement is headed in and I can’t wait to see it all go down. And hopefully this next season we will finally see Cal pay for all the messed up things he has done. It is only a matter of time before the blinders come off and everyone sees what Eddie sees in him. And I will be cheering in my seat!

Supernatural - "The British Invasion" - Season 12 Episode 17 Recap and Review

View fullsize

Source: The CW

I will admit, this episode makes up for last week, for sure. We are back to one of the main storylines, the nephilim. And now Mick is aware of it too. And as we see, Dean was right to question the British Men of Letters (BMOL). They are too attached to their code; much of which is outdated or cruel. They may have fancy tools, but they are cold as ice. We learned a lot about Mick’s background in this episode too. He was an orphan on the street when the BMOL recruited him so it’s not surprising to see him feel he owes them. But the more time he spends with Sam and Dean, the more he sees their code is flawed. And seeing that when he was a student at the “Hogwarts for hunters” he was forced to kill his best friend, I can’t say I wouldn’t have seen the flaws sooner.

We see our little demon baby progressing well, his mother still unaware she won’t be around to see him grow. And Dagon is still on watch over mother and child. And thanks to telepathy, still in communication with Lucifer, unbeknownst to Crowley. Crowley somehow still believes he is in control too, but with the nephilim still in play, that’s impossible. I am starting to wonder if Crowley will ever realize he can’t win with Lucifer, even if he may appear to be winning. Lucifer’s submission would be my first hint that something bad was in the works. Lucifer is the last one to submit, as we see when he sneaks his own demand for allegiance into his meeting with Crowley’s demons.

An old friend Eileen also makes an appearance this episode. She helps the guys track down Dagon so they are able to get Kelly. She was able to track down the demon covering Dagon’s tracks after a doctor’s appointment, but unfortunately for him, she killed him after getting Kelly’s number. Sam was able to trick Kelly with a very poor British accent, so Dean could intercept her. Mick showed up to the meeting place where Dean brought Kelly, with a new friend, an annoying guy who won’t stop talking about being top of his class. As soon as he starts bragging a third time about being the head of his class, I knew something had to happen to him and I was right. Dagon came for Kelly, and as Eileen went to shoot her, she vanished, leaving the annoying graduate in the line of the bullet. Mick, having been raised to kill those who kill BMOL, attempted to take out Eileen, only to realize it was not the way. And in the very next scene, Kelly finds out from Dagon that she won’t survive the birth of Lucifer’s child.

We see Dr. Hess, the evil woman who runs the school Mick and Mr. Ketch attended. And we can see where Mr. Ketch learned to be so ruthless! I can’t believe Mary is feeling this guy. I mean they have been on the road together killing stuff, bonding… I suppose. But to sleep with the guy? Wow. When she learns what he agreed to do, I can’t imagine it will go over well. And what he said after they hooked up, seems like foreshadowing. He said he never saw their hook up coming, instead when he met her he thought, “I’ll end up shooting this one”. And considering the cold blooded way he took Mick out, and the fact he agreed to take out the rest of the American hunters, it could happen.

Can we talk about poor Mick for a second? Seeing him taken out the way he was, wow. It shocked me, I can’t lie. And Mr. Ketch’s utter satisfaction and interest in seeing his dead body, well, that didn’t shock me much. It’s just sad to me that when Mick finally got the courage to stand up for himself he was taken out. I’m just hoping that Mr. Ketch doesn’t use his rejection from Mary as fuel to continue to take out the hunters, Winchester’s included. But that he chooses instead to join forces with them. Because, even if he denies it, he likes Mary and was hoping for more. But at least the guys have the colt back… that’s a positive. And here’s hoping they hear from Cas soon, I really miss him!
