 Mmm, witch's claw. Witch claw. My god, would these groups just have a bunch of white claws at their party? What is going on outside? Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for malice malachorum malice malaforum malice cafero malaf- Okay, I'm just not gonna bother. I can tell you it means hammer of the wicked, not hammer of the witches, or It's the witch episode of season 3. Now before I talk about the episode I really want to talk about the ending of the episode because that is the part I remember the most. This is after they've taken down the witch coven and Dean and Ruby have a little one-on-one and we find out a few things. We find out one that Dean's doomed. So far there is no plan in terms of trying to save him. They also find out that every human that goes down eventually becomes a demon no matter what. It can take centuries, it can take forever, but eventually every human's soul is turned into a demon. And then the third thing is we find out just how crafty the ambiguous writing was because at the end of the episode Dean asks Ruby why she wants them to win and she just says, I don't know. I'm different from them. I want to see you win. I remember what it's like to be human. It's so ambiguous that it actually works pretty decently for season 4. Was it a planned idea for her to be what she was in season 4? It's actually debatable as to whether they actually knew her plan or not because like I've said several times throughout this season they really didn't know what they were doing for a lot of it. They just seem to fall on all the right stones. They didn't fall through the cracks. They just were able to find a path that worked throughout this whole season. It's one of the reasons why I'm just gonna keep commending this season. This episode follows Sam and Dean going up against a witch coven for the first time really. They've sort of dealt with witches, but never in this full capacity and I actually thought I liked this episode a lot more than I do. I actually like the ending a lot. I like the idea that Ruby has a past of being a witch. And also this episode is a slight kind of tribute homage to the craft just the threat that witches have. The one thing that really gets me about witches is hex bags because the brothers are always able to find the hex bag really quickly, whereas I know that if I myself was in this situation, I'd be fucked. I can barely find my car keys every single day. How the hell am I supposed to find a bag, a tiny little bag that's been hidden in my room somewhere? There's demons. There's monsters. There's werewolves. There's vampires. Then there's hex bags because me trying to find shit is just whoa. I miss being able to ask my mom to find my car keys. There are some pretty gnarly bits in this episode too, whether the first woman is pulling teeth out of her mouth. That gets me a little bit. I like the introduction of how the witches work. I like the idea that they are threats. Like, sure, they're humans, but they've murdered people and they should be taken down just as much. And that's something that's kind of a counterbalance in terms of Sam trying to toughen himself up. Dean is kind of having this weird, like, why are you like this? You're not the way you are. And Sam's like, well, you're going to die soon, so I got to try and be like you. It's a little bit more heavy-handed than it was in the previous episodes. You can see that they're really trying to emulate the same thing that they've already said, and they can only say it in so many ways, so it's not as strong. But I actually still very much enjoy this episode. There's also this one little bit where the husband of the woman who gets killed at the beginning, he's eating a burger at White Rock Beach. He tunes into the radio and the station is 101, which is Rock 101 out here. So I thought that was kind of funny because it was Every Rose As It's Thorn by Poison, which I thought, yeah, that's pretty accurate to the actual radio station that's out here. I like the inclusion of Ruby. I liked her moments in this episode from where she first stops the car to her talk with Dean to coming in and fighting with the demons. It's not as good of an episode as I remember it being. Really, it's a very dragged out little story. And there's not as much humor in the episode as you would think there would be. The part where Dean is saved by Ruby is a bit awkward where she walks out and he's just like they kind of try to replicate the back-and-forth banter that he had with Bella in Red Sky in Morning, and it doesn't work as quite as well. So in the end, I'm going to give Malice, Maliform, and A4 out of 7. And just a little side note, the woman who, as she proclaims herself in the episode, plays Mrs. Renee Van Allen. She actually put me on a very strange path of weird backwards memories, and I remember that she actually starred in a 2003 film called Foo Proof that had Ryan Reynolds before he was big and famous. Don't know why, but I knew I recognized her from somewhere. I haven't even seen this movie, but I remember this trailer being everywhere back in 2003. And then I asked you guys to give me your comments about the last episode, so let's read some off. Malice Malacarum, Malice Malaf- oh fuck off, is a mixed bag for me. The effects of witchy vibe and getting a backstory on Ruby was all good. My problem is Astorotham and Tammy's body seemed more powerful than Azrael from stopping a bullet from the Colt in mid-air. Oh yeah, I forgot about that bit. And then there's Azeroth mentioning Ahi to Sam as the new leader of the Risen to Lead the Demons, and that he wants Sam eliminated. I'm guessing if the writer's strike didn't occur, we would have learned more about this demon who was trying to kill Sam. It was also great to learn about how demons become demons through losing their humanity and hell. The last nitpick I have for this episode is that it makes more clear how hopeless Deem's situation is. Throughout this whole season, it makes pretty clear that Deem won't survive and he's going to die no matter what they do. And it really takes away for me personally the tension of what Deem could have been saved and not go to hell. I kind of disagree with that because it just helped verify for me at the time watching this as it was happening live that, wow, how the hell is he going to get out of this? Are they actually going to kill Deem? Are they actually going to do it? I kind of thought that they weren't going to. I didn't think they would do it. Little did I know how wrong I would be, but at the same time how right I was. Supernatural Christmas is definitely a 7 out of 7. Malice is okay. There are some funny moments like how the Coven didn't realize what they were doing and was just trying to get lower mortgages. Ruby's reveal about how Deem's become and Deem going to become one when he gets to hell had a big impact. But the Demon Woman was kind of weak and kind of cheesy part of the episode for me. Funny you should mention about how they technically never had holidays. Oh, and have fun watching the next episode when it comes out. It's going to be basically them celebrating all the birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmases, and one plus Jens and Akles dressed in a cartoon. Oh wait, he's talking about the latest episode for season 15. That's coming soon, isn't it? Wasn't it in October? Fuck, I talked about it and this tells you how much I'm paying attention. Supernatural is set to return filming on August 18th to September 11th. An interesting thing I noticed in the interview is that Jensen says episode 19 is the season finale while episode 20 in the series is a finale. I'm wondering if that's how that's going to turn out. I should probably do a video about that. Anyways guys, those are your comments for Malice. Uh, I'm just fucking, I'm not going to say it. The next episode is Dream a Little Dream of Me, so make sure to give me your comments about that episode and I'll read the best ones off in the next video review. Otherwise, that's all from me.
