 Wait, did Supernatural just do something scary? Hey guys, this is my review for episode 13 of season 12 of Supernatural. It's funny enough that I was talking about something earlier on a few episodes back and especially with doing the retro reviews of Supernatural that this show really hasn't been scary at all in the last little while. So the episode begins with this setup of this woman just kind of doing daily things before she goes to bed. This is part where she opens up the cupboard and there's this dramatic music but nothing happens and the whole time it's like okay, this has been this has been two and a half minutes and nothing's happened and then she's in the bed and this long slow pull in and the whole time I'm going what is actually going to and then perhaps just spring out of the bed and rip her apart. Like oh Okay, that was good. However, the rest of the episode kind of runs at a very flat pace. What turns out is that there's this ghost that is attached to the boat that Crowley Sun was originally supposed to embark on but then through all the time travel weird-ass crap in season 10 or 11 No, season 9 if I'm correct. All that screwed it up and now his old girlfriend who smuggled herself aboard the boat is Trying to well basically killing people who are related to teachers. That was actually a cool reason why she was killing people. The whole teacher's not protecting people sort of ideal Kind of a little bit meadow of what's going on with the whole Betty DeVos stuff But you know what either way that was kind of cool But the thing is this episode had a lot of pieces a little pieces here and there of stuff that was interesting These pieces weren't fully established. They were just more so like laying blocks for next episodes that are coming up For instance the woman who's walking around with Lucifer's baby Bumped into one of the other princes of hell that was mentioned in the previous episode with that last guy and She had the most ham-fisted Terminator reference come with me if you want to live that was meh, but that was it We had like maybe three minutes of them in total and again a little playing block the other one was Mary's connection with the men of letters and how she's using this cool like weird Gun to Again, there was cool interesting talks with the super awesome British man of letters guy And he's talking about how you know families gonna hold you down. This is a priority It's to try and take this out Mary Winters. I was like no we gotta do this And I don't know Mary Winters. There's character has been very interesting the fact that she's come back from the dead and Let's just be clear here the last time she died She had given up hunting. She had actually done it. She had just totally given it up and the instant she comes back boom, she's right back in hunting again, so I don't know they're never gonna they haven't really explained that wanting to jump right back into it Maybe it's an idea that she's just protecting herself kind of protecting her own mentality and her own Sort of psychosis from the idea of jumping 30 years of the future, but either way and then Supernatural actually pull the fast one on me. It started off with the whole you've got bupkus on the baby well We've got this case and that's how every filler episode has ever started and in the end this actually turned out to be a story episode So good on you Supernatural you actually tricked me there And then there's also the part with Crowley and Lucifer It turns out I was right about how I said that Lucifer really didn't actually get expunged into the cage that there was something done that messed up or changed the process of how the The exorcism happened and it turns out that Crowley just put him back into Mark Pelarino's body who they Fixed somehow mainly just because Mark Pelarino was awesome as Lucifer they realized that because the rocker guy couldn't cut it and They now say yeah, I'm basically gonna treat you like how you treated me and Lucifer straight up says exactly what every Supernatural fan is thinking what do you think is going to happen and Really honestly what is going to happen? I think the showrunners realize that when they put Lucifer back in the cage at with the whole Smith season finale. They're like Shit we have nothing quick make sure he comes back somehow so Really this season is kind of nicking me off But then how it ends with that really kind of cheesy sort of ghost whisper montage at the end hell this episode Actually ended like a ghost whisperer show like they got the two the real person and the ghosts together and they sent them back in time It was all wishy-washy, but mind you I thought that was subtle. It wasn't overly emotional and overly Ridiculously dramatic like when Cas was dying in the last episode. This was subtle But after the whole montage bit we see Lucifer call out the name of the Prince of Hell that is protecting his child and Again right when he died right there is like yeah, gosh What the hell did they think was going to happen how on earth do the writers think that we are so stupid that this is not I Don't know. I just don't like This turn sure obviously they had to bring back Lucifer because they have no threat of this season But just the way in which they've done it is kind of pope. It's like they're insulting our intelligence Almost either way this episode was subtle. It has some cool elements. None of them were really fully defined But it was still an enjoyable episode. It's not exceptional by any means But it is definitely setting the plates for what's gonna come next so in the end I'm gonna give this episode a 4 out of 7 anyway guys. Hope you enjoyed this review keep watching all my retro reviews I'm going to talk about skin next so I'm looking forward to that anyways catch you guys later
