 It's got a good heart, but is it real? Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Supernatural Season 3 Episode 15. Time is on my side. My favorite episode of this season. This episode has a damn good premise. Aside from the conclusion to the Bella story arc, I like every part of this episode. And there's so many different parts of this episode that are kind of like big moments. The introduction of Rufus. The fact that Mr. Nitty from The Untouchables is this self-Dr. Frankenstein creature. The realization that Bella herself is in a demon contract. The moral argument between Sam and Dean about having a solution in front of them, right in front of them, to try and save Dean's life and whether they should take it or not. I like this episode a lot. I like how it's directed. I like the horror elements. There's a lot of gore in this. There's a guy who gets his goddamn heart ripped out of him. All the while they keep cutting to his heart rate monitor. It's such a great horror element. Sam on the table about to have his eyeball scooped out. Sure, the scoopy thing doesn't look good in CG, but it reminds me of House of Wax. And that's a great horror element. All these moments are so terrifying in this episode that it brings genuine fear back to the episode, especially with how it ends. The brothers are after this Dr. Frankenstein wannabe guy who's been cutting up people and taking organs to essentially stay alive for years. Their dad cut his heart out years ago, but apparently that didn't stop him at all. At the same time, Dean gets a bead on Bella, goes and meets Rufus, who apparently was able to identify Bella by her ears. I actually keep forgetting that tidbit fact, and I'm always reminded about it from this episode, whether it's actually true or not. I keep meaning to look it up. I imagine it must be. It's an interesting aspect of the episode. We find out even more about Bella. However, the brothers don't know, and I like that, that she is still independent enough to not try and get the sympathy train. She will not reveal that dark secret about her parents and why she agreed to attend your contract. And then the doc himself, his view on life, his view on mortality and immortality, and even at the end, offering to save Dean in exchange for his own life, of course, but that offer on the table, and Dean and Sam bury him alive and tuned with his book in a fridge. At the bottom of the deepest pit, these boys have ever dug, and then the final shot with them burying him is like this long off shot where the brothers are in the corner and you can hear him screaming as they're burying him. That is honestly one of the biggest fears I've ever had. Will I ever find myself in that situation? I hope not, but it is one of my greatest fears and how they did it, the coldness of that episode. Put you in the absolutely devastated but necessary mood heading into the season finale. I love this episode's structure. I love how it's shot. I love the characters in it. I love the humor, which is dipped into very, very little, but it's there and you need some because this episode's dark. I love the gore. I love the effects. I love the moral conundrum that Sam and Dean go through. It's not talked about as much as I thought it would be, but it's still there. It's still got those elements that make this such a memorable episode. Four, it's villain. It's horror. It's story. It's development with the brothers. And it's a fantastic pre-season finale and in my opinion, one of the best ones of the initial five. I think it's better than ones and I think it's better than two for sure. So in the end, I'm going to give Time is on my side a seven out of seven. This is a fucking great episode if I say so myself. And in the last episode review, I asked you guys to give me your comments about this episode, so let's read some off now. What I find interesting about Time is on my side is the old Frankenstein guy, how he's able to be immortal and the brother can't seem to figure out how to kill him. It would have been interesting to see a big bad of a season who can regenerate or can't be killed when the brother's having to come up with something to kill it. Like they kind of did with Lucifer in season five and with the Stein family in season 10. But I would have wanted a full sci-fi monster who would keep coming back and the brothers having to deal with it for a whole season like an annoying fly in the house. For me, I feel that was kind of done with the Leviathans. The Leviathans were pretty difficult to defeat for quite some time until they figured out how one of the few positive things I could say about season seven. Time is on my side is one of my absolute favorite episodes in the entire show. Bella's backstory is really heartbreaking and the horror is wonderfully established and we meet the asshole Rufus. Dean's lying to Bella, I'll see you in hell always gives me chills. I can agree with that. And also it's speaking of Bella's backstory. This next comment talks about just how actually unfortunate this was. Time is on my side. Amazing but frustrating, scary, ultra creepy, Frankenstein homage and the ending for Bella. Damn. Another one who got caught off just when she was starting to get interesting. The big reveal about Bella makes me wonders for the character and you can see her now in a different perspective and how Laura Cohen brilliantly played all of her sides and you didn't even notice at first why she does what she does why she is the way she is. This reveal was supposed to make the character grow even more. But no, Fangirls hated her at the time and so writers decided to not bring her back for season 4. Eric Kripke even said that this is not the end for Bella that her last scene was actually supposed to be a cliffhanger but we all know she won't come back anymore and that is sad. Not that now the fans are sorry but it's too little, too late. The most interesting and multi-dynamic character Supernatural ever had apart from the boys that stoned out like trash because of silly jealousy from Fangirls who didn't even want anyone who didn't want anyone getting close or in the way of their boys. Disgusting, hashtag justice for Bella. And I'll agree actually in terms of how female characters were handled for the first beginning like the first while of the show. I know no one liked either of the rubies for a time. Joe was very, very well disregarded and same for Bella here and it's unfortunate too because some of these characters were actually starting to get really well established but then these very, very incessantly over vocal Fangirls who hated these girls they were the minority but they were the vocal minority and that's kind of funny now because now they are the majority fan base for the show most likely they are definitely the most majority fan base for the show and now I'm the vocal minority so it's kind of funny. Time is on my side is an awesome episode. Doc is terrifying. I always saw potential in bringing Bella our doc back. Bella being a demon later on would have been great but with all the character resurrections I can appreciate leaving me alone and I do too. Also you have to imagine that that doc is still in that fridge. It's been 12 years so he's still in there. He probably hasn't died yet. It's absolutely terrifying to me. All right thank you guys once again and now we're heading into it. We're heading into my favorite season finale aside from five. We're going into no rest for the wicked so give me your guys's comments give me your thoughts give me everything you got about this episode and I'll read those off in the season finale review which will be next. I hope you guys are excited for it thank you for joining me on this path so far and we're heading into it and then eventually we'll get into season four but let's finish off season three with a bang or how I guess you would say.
