 An angel and a demon walk into a barn one that looks idly similar to that of when someone tried to monologue die And what happens what you would kind of expect of angels and demons some action That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for episode ten heaven and hell of supernatural season four This is the mid-season finale for this season and it's actually a pretty decent one There is some character development with Anna. There's some character development with the brothers the Demons and the angels have a head-off in this barn There's a little bit of cool back-and-forth with Ruby and the episode ends with one of the most Emotionally heartfelt moments in Dean's entire history as a character. I don't mind heaven and hell for the most part if anything It's actually a pretty decent mid-season finale. It doesn't really leave much in terms of questions of what's happening next It's actually quite definitive if anything the only thing that's a little bit of a mystery is what happened to Anna at the End of the episode is a pretty cleaning cut episode in terms of starting middle and end the brothers Ruby and Anna find Themselves in the middle of a war between the angels and the demons as they're both fighting over Anna Anna who? Realizes in this episode that she is in fact a fallen angel who chose to fall This is also something else that would kind of be later established on in season 8 I believe but really this was the first kind of angel who had an emotional palette and this Character and is one of the driving forces in terms of Changing over Castiel's allegiances from angels heaven to the brothers themselves and is a big influence on Castiel's life as a character I liked Uriel in this episode too because he shows just how bad ass angels can be when he's taking out those other demons and Then we get Alastair again and okay I don't know if it was this actor who was the one who came up with the whole southern accent thing because the Second actor who's gonna come in he does it a lot better than this guy. This guy kind of sucks honestly He's very corny. He's very cheesy sure you could say that the other guy who's gonna take it on is a little bit corny But he's really intimidating But I feel that the guy who's gonna do Alastair later on in that torture episode. I feel that he does a much more intimidating Presence much more intimidating routine of the character this guy wasn't so bad in the last episode But in this one he gets a lot more time to talk and he's he's just not intimidating in my opinion He's a little bit when he's torturing Ruby that's because that whole scene is very vulnerable But otherwise he's not he's not really there the fight scenes a little bit cool I do like how there's some choreography, but then the brothers when Alastair walks up to Dean He's like ah, you were such a promising pupil. He does this and Dean's first like And then about two seconds into that they cut the Sam There's some odd editing in this episode and I'm not exactly the biggest fan of it Which is why it's a little bit middling, but then the end of the episode that drama man That drama pulls me in every time they use it and they've used it so Fucking well in this season so far because we find out about Dean's time in hell He actually talks about what happened to him. He talks about being on the rack Essentially being a Prometheus-like legend in hell with constantly being tortured having his body be Reassembled only to be tortured again the next day until he eventually succumbs to all of the torture and he begins to do the torturing Himself and Jensen just delivers this scene so well He has so much emotion so much torture so much Guilts in his actions his words and his mannerisms that he's really portraying a pretty Deep and emotional part of his character It's really hard to watch these performances and these developments in these characters when they meant something because I know it's not gonna matter later on and much like wishful thinking this episode is brought back up because of Dean talking about it and Maybe now thinking about it Maybe wishful thinking was a little bit high in terms of writing because I'm going to give this episode a Six out of seven this one is certainly better than wishful thinking, but it's a really good Episode while it may not be a great midseason finale episode. It's a pretty decent one It's a very good one if anything not seven material, but again very good And I'm looking at the numbers for the season so far and holy shit Y'all who said that season four was the best one you aren't kidding like I'm loving this season so far I don't know why I always look at it so only anyways I asked you guys about your comments about this episode So let's read those off now so here your comments heaven and hell is my favorite written episode But it's not my favorite episode if that makes sense I remember watching this live and being on the edge of my seat thinking what's going to happen in the whole time While it doesn't have the best fight scene in all of supernatural the dialogue between the angels and demons is fun I agree with that. I really love the writers for giving them relate ability to Sam and Dean's life from their absent father John It definitely is an interesting Complex that angels require faith in God rather than having a direct link and appearance to him Yeah, that's a good point the love scene is cliche, but I still love the comfort in Anna putting her hand on Dean's handprint from Castillo The best scene is by far with Dean describing his time in hell rather than having a huge budget of what hell looks like I really love the attention is brought back to Dean's heartbreak Apparently the scene really was an emotional roller coaster for the actor It just needed a break for after doing the same because it was so emotional for him the waiting wipes for his The waiting wipes his tears of his face with his hands is how he normally wipes his tears And that's not a hint of cheesiness for me in this scene It just shows you how flawed and human Dean is At his most vulnerable point in his life and usually Dean is closed up with his emotions towards his brother One of the reasons I really love the show is because how committed the brothers are to the show and how they've come How far they've come since season one. That's a really good comment This is actually a really really good comment heaven and hell part two or is a part two of great Part two parter we learned so much about the angels banishing sigil Importance of the angel grace hex bags how angels can become human angel radio demons and were actually scary Dean banging an angel etc It was always good to see Pamela Barnes back even if she does die This is a solid six out of seven for me now the perfect episode But so important in establishing the angel demon mythology of the show That would go on for the rest of the show's run until dab Evidently retcon did all of it. It's funny Actually, you got there the score of this episode dead on if Castiel was killed when they could have gotten angel romance fans for dean deanna Lol instead of destiel puts it that a whole new pov and that made that sexy nana and dean So a romance was planned, but was scrapped as castiel became the main vessel. Yeah, I can it does Anna's Turn does suddenly go kind of pointless later on as we'll eventually see heaven and hell It's time for heaven versus hell or god versus mothra godzilla versus mothra This episode further delves into dean's hell trauma deans portrayal here reminds me of how Castiel's death speech to dean was how hollow Dean was never a saint or a pillar of virtue dean is miserable and has been tormented in his life physically and psychologically Dean is seriously flawed but that makes his character his victories even more fulfilling when he succeeds Even though dean would struggle with making the right decision and Even was the more pessimistic of the two brothers. He was still trying to be good Dean is often hopeless in season five and occasionally cynical in season seven dab would litter later ruin this trait by making It non-authentic and hokey. Yes, definitely agree with that in season five The deck was stacked against sam and dean and season seven dean was fatigued from saving the world multiple times His insecurity felt much more genuine here than dad's hack mine hamster in a cage metaphor Another thing that this episode showcased was that dean and sam could outsmart their enemies. I also remember when seeing sam and dean tricked eve with the phoenix ash in season six And then at the same time and and the time sam dean and henry deceived abaddon with the devil's trap bullets in season eight Oh, yeah, I remember that devil's trap bullets were always a neat idea that felt underutilized to me However upon looking at the wiki they used devil traps bullets more times than I thought they did Sam and dean gradually became too dense too much hunting most of have killed most of them have killed Sam and dean's brain cells or in sam case is probably from the repeated head trauma. Yes I forgot to do that. I was gonna do a count of how many times sam got knocked out throughout this show And unfortunately I failed on that but he definitely has been knocked out At least a hundred times in the entire shows run The way I view heaven and hell is the same way you view season 11's mid-season premiere heaven and hell Is disappointing follow-up to the great episode. It's not bad. However, it's not great either Especially upon rewatch although the third half is great The third quarter or the third the third The two halves proceeding. Yeah, we're talking about thirds here The two thirds with feeding it are very boring literally 30 minutes of the episode just people standing around and talking about stuff We already know like anna being an angel at her grace and yeah, let's talk about anna. I really don't like this character She when she remembers she's an angel She loses all of her personality and charm because of sticking the mud and I don't blame the actress for this because she Is a likable actress the problem is the direction that they take with the character much like ruby is either bland or straight up awkward I never bought her relationship with dean The only reason that it's happening is so that dean can have awkward sex scene I swear that every time anna takes her grace back. It's like she's orgasming on screen on screen. What am I watching? the third I have the final third However say it somewhat saves this episode because we get a great awesome demon on angel action And of course dean's heartfelt confession is really so refreshing to see dean accepting responsibility instead of blaming chuck for everything I tear up every time I watch this scene. That's awesome Thank you guys for your comments are much appreciated and the next episode is family remains episode 11 So make sure to give me you guys his thoughts about that episode in the comments below and I'll read those off in the next review Otherwise guys, thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Until then I'll see you guys next week.
