 Three episodes in we're already dipping into the fruity drinks. Oh, yeah, it's that kind of day That's a hot mug guys Hey guys This is my review for episode three of supernatural season six the third man And I actually kind of like this episode despite the fact that it's still quite Disorganized in terms of what the overall direction of the season is this episode finds Sam and Dean finally working together As one Dean has gone off from Lisa and Ben They're waiting for him to come back and some foolhardy writing there out for a walk Bitch and then in this episode we actually change the perspective almost completely instead of focusing on the monsters are this whole Monster hunt thing that was the first two episodes this one deals with the plagues of Moses Yeah, it's a bit of a leap It actually does set up a side storyline that possibly you're a little bit more interested in Castiel finally returns After seeing a gentleman fall apart into a literal Splitting of blood on the floor while another guy dies by having boils completely Absorb his body and then another dude scratches his head so much that locusts come out of it all of it connected to kind of this really flimsy revenge of these cops Framing this kid who they killed thinking about it now how nonchalantly they throw that in is like whoa But that does equate again to the comment I made about how this episode is very disorganized is you've got like six different plot points going on in this episode before things really start to kind of Forge down to the narrow at the end of the episode with Castiel Meeting up with his old buddy Balthazar who has apparently stolen a lot of these weapons from heaven once the civil war started and then Raphael making an appearance with him almost killing Castiel to have Balthazar turn him into salt and on top of all of that Dean is noticing Sam's lacking humanity when he full-on willingly lets Castiel Sort of torture a kid to eventually find out where this soul pack that was made which by the way the kid's soul His soul to Balthazar as well There's so much bloody happening this episode that I could forgive you to forget that there's Actually probably one of the most dangerous and probably one of the coolest stunts Supernatural ever did Castiel is fighting with this angel and they full-on triple indie out of the what looks like the fifth floor In a building in Vancouver and what's so strange is it's really hard to find any clip about this I found this really bad promo, which is terrible apologies for the quality But this is the best I could find of anything I couldn't find stills about it I couldn't find photos about it on top of all of that There's actually a lot of effort done behind the camera There's a lot more varying camera angles that we're used to we're seeing the cool tricks with Castiel moving about And this is an episode directed by Robert Singer when he still had The want to do anything besides standard blocking and that's something that I'm actually kind of curious is to see when that starts to Transition over if there's anything that's gonna keep me watching the show besides the boys and the humor and everything about that It's also just seeing how the camera work was done in these five seasons Because I actually don't really know what was done with whether they started to go over to that lazy kind of side Maybe that was actually what kept me going aside from just watching Supernatural for the sake of watching Supernatural So yeah, there's a lot of good in this episode. There's a lot of disorganized bad There's a lot of what on earth is actually happening The episode ends with the boys being as just as confused about Castiel's intentions as we are about the intentions of this season The third man has some cool fights. It has some cool moments I really like the introduction to Balthazar He's gonna become a kind of a key character in this season and he's definitely gonna be kind of a side replacement for Gabriel I also kept on thinking this was Gordon Ramsey's Brother or something because he does have a bit of similarities, but overall the third man is fun Disorganized but it does have good intentions and it does set up a storyline with the whole civil war between the angels that you actually are Far more interested in to an extent than other stuff But the direction of season 6 is still in the cosmos. It's still trying to be found And hopefully as we continue on that maybe starts to kind of pick up a little bit But in the end I'm gonna give the third man a four out of seven. I thought it would be fun to give the three But I'm not gonna go there. It's got a fantastic stunt sequence It's got some cool moments here and there but it jumps from event to event so quickly that Whatever happened three moments ago doesn't matter at the point of when it gets to like the fifth thing in the Ten line of things that happen in this episode, but I ask you guys for your comments about this episode So let's read those off this episode has a really good use of cast DL He just blips around and is slightly colder to the boys in the last season I think that works better than him just coming to them at every call Palthasar is an interesting character that I wish stayed longer But he does do a lot of stealing the scene with heavens weapons and one that's cool idea Even though it's barely mentioned Sam and Dean are actually quite dismissive of him of his whole civil war in heaven Which is really actually kind of dumb because you would think that they would be hell hands-on deck because Raphael wants to you know Restart the apocalypse overall solid episode five out of seven. Yeah I do find that they are quite dismissive about the fact that there is a literal Apocalypse restart party trying to happen and they don't do anything about it They're they're very very selfish probably one of the hardest seasons to watch especially from for fans of Dean Because he's just such a selfish prick the start of soul of Sam was a lot of fun But Dean should have caught on very quickly that Sam was not Sam when Sam was totally okay with the whole cast Starting the kid in this in this soul thing Dean should have been like dope That's not my brother to be fair He did come back from the cage and that would change a person cough off Adam cough cough Castiel got his own show to handle with the whole heavenly business Raphael was underused and is he is also an Archangel but this episode to bring us Balthazar the Civil War pretty much happened entirely off camera And even if it had been the focus of the season There was really nothing that Sam and Dean could have done about it and to be honest I'm sure but as we'll see as the show goes on maybe but I do find it quite strange that There is this entire Civil War element that they don't even talk about and it's like I've said before I think they just did not have any idea what they were doing the one thing I absolutely love about this episode is Balthazar absolutely loved him He reminds me a little bit of Gabriel Sebastian did a great job playing him He was so right Castiel still had to stick up his butt. I'm glad he decided to help Castiel deal with Raphael He's one of my favorite angels on the show right next to Castiel sucks at the only had run one season though Yeah, I'm actually always surprised that he is only in one season for some reason thought he was in season seven But as we'll find out that's not the case the third man one of the better episodes this season the end the introduction of Balthazar possibly one of the best angels in the entire series He's like an angel version of Crowley out of all the characters. They brought back in the latter seasons. Why not this guy? I'll be honest. I don't know either I sure everyone dies and then just comes back But maybe they couldn't get the actor back, but I really did like him I was kind of hoping that Balthazar would stick around the third man once again proves that the show Continues onward with unique ideas and also the camera work is really fun upon rewatch Balthazar always felt like a mix between Gabriel and Bella Talbot But still is and a nice to see an angel that isn't robotic as they often are in Supernatural hearing cast say there is no other way Really harkens back to Zachariah Saying that there is no other way to stop Lucifer and you can see Castiel reverts into his soldier mentality the angelic Civil war makes perfect sense after season 5's ending overall It's an entertaining episode with some great special effects and another piece of the puzzle in the narrative mystery element This season is slowly built putting together. Definitely agree with you that they're putting pieces together But I don't think they're matching beginning is something of that of children trying to smash pieces together I've always preferred episodes that address the larger arcs in the bigger picture Supernatural inch towards the apocalypse revealing a deeper darker looming evil That revealed itself by the close of season one the first two episodes of season six focus on the vengeful Jens and the shape-shifting baby seems so Relevantly insignificant and yet clearly something was going on boom along comes the third man with post apocalyptic war in heaven Sam's obvious and disturbing lack of morality. I love the way the season reveals and develops the bigger problem Additionally balthazar and Raphael are brilliant characters. I wouldn't say Raphael is really a good character I like the guy who plays him. I find that Raphael is just so monotonal boner boring as this show goes on as the season goes on it does Start to form better and the third man is one of the better episodes for that I got a point out of correction here the Andrew pointed out of grandpa was a Campbell Mary's father not Winchester who we mean the letter season Samuel Campbell's Sam was named after Dean That after him and Dean was named after Mary's mother who was also a hunter named Deanna I did not actually know that so thank you for pointing that out Andra after two slow episodes the season finally gets it back on track It feels like earlier seasons the boys playing feds turn the angels debate on whether there was something wrong with Sam They ever lingering Questions over one of the brothers experiences in hell while this wasn't in Lin's most memorable episode This was his trademark goriness as well as some awesome one-liners such a great episodes except seven I it actually is quite nice to see him in this episode. I am kind of curious of when he stops kind of Contributing but I think that wasn't until like season 10 to correct me if I'm wrong yet another boring episode Yes, balthazar is in it But so what it wastes the premise of the angelic civil war in favor of some more weird monsters And that is the problem with Sarah Gamble. She just wants weird monsters doing weird things like the magicians I would guess that's the show. I'm sorry But for once I actually agree with Robert singer weird monsters is not enough for the show after it tackled the apocalypse Aside from balthas are the only notable thing about this episode is the Jill Valentine is a no joke Sam Hooker is the original model they used for Jill Valentine the resident evil games The more you know a guest thought that you were meaning about the Jill Valentine in the resident evil movies Not the model from the video games. That's awesome. I did not know that. Thank you All right. Well, thank you guys for your comments and now we've got weekend at Bobby's This is the first episode that Jensen Ackles would ever direct for the show and if the production Style of it was correct to me. This was actually the first episode they shot That was what happened with all of the other episodes that Jensen ever shot and his episodes would usually take priority Because he was new to it and they wanted to give him as much effort as he could which kind of actually does explain Why the first episode is so middling because a lot of effort was put into this episode So give me guys his comments about that episode and I'll read those off in the next review And the other thing I was gonna make a comment about is since 2011 didn't really have the want for a ton of jpegs to be over A thousand a lot of these photos are from IMDB that which are only 500 by whatever so they're not the greatest equality So I am going to try and figure out a means in which to combat this because I fear that just from a visual Perspective. I'm already kind of boring enough as it is I don't want to bore you guys and grown you all with really grainy images So I'm gonna try and figure out how to go about that. Anyways, that's all for me guys I'll see you for the next one
