 So you know when people die they might have questions for you. Oh, you know, not you but death You mean like how did Betty white outlast me? That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Episode 11 of Supernatural season 6 the midseason finale This is the episode where Dean becomes death for a day And it almost has the ability to be actually a very very good episode if anything This is actually a pretty decent midseason finale Which not too bad to say Supernatural is least continuing that trait of decent midseason finales It depends on how we return is really the big question a lot of aspects about this episode are pretty commendable everything from soulless Sam going to the near on nth degree To stop his soul from being put back into his body to Dean and death getting a second conversation as Well as a challenge for Dean and the implications and the hurdles that he goes through his own kind of Herculean like series of challenges to Try and get his brother's soul back for that purpose and those are the two focuses Dean being death for a day and Sam Almost killing Bobby and Bobby and him having a really good back-and-forth Row and while Dean's story of morality and the question of death in life while starting off to be funny Everything is dust in the wind That's it Kansas song it actually really goes into a deeper level of the meaning of life And also just the cruelty of the world as well as the matter of factness of it all to the intensity in the horror of Sam trying to kill Bobby and the humor that comes with that as well as the dread and The the suspense that comes from that if there was anything to maybe be a little bit kind of nitpicky about It is Dean's dialogue because he does have a few bits in this episode where you're just like That's more so a quaint into the writing and maybe a little bit of Jensen's overacting but I do find that his Conception with the girl not wanting to kill her that does lead to a road It just takes a little bit of an awkward step There is a little dip where Dean does take the ring off to save the boyfriend of the killed nurse And while that part does kind of is a little bit abrupt It does fix itself with Dean going back and taking the girl's life because that is how it should be Does this episode do enough with the death side of the story as I feel it should I Kind of feel it's a little short. I feel that he only takes the life of five people in the end I feel that maybe that should have been a little bit more Definitely a lot more of a weight on his shoulder should have been kind of dealt out I feel the really kind of give the perspective of it all should have been a montage at one point Just showing him having to put down a ton of people. I do like that. It jumps from robber heart attack To girl dying of a heart disease that jump is Good and it does kind of take you for a loop But I kind of feel this should have been a little bit more of an establishment of it because it feels like Dean just drops out After five people not even five people He he fucks it up on the third person that he goes and talks to you had one job You had one very clear task given to you and you cock it up Not even before the 10th person or not even before the fifth person you mean so that is my kind of major Conniption is that I feel it comes to this Crossroad way too early, but everything else about this episode is fantastic. I love the Bobby and Sam dynamic I think it's really well done I like how these two are both good at their own game But they are working against each other and there is this back and forth of who is the hunter and who is the pray and When the episode ends with Sam nearly killing him It does give you that big whoo and while Dean fails that whole aspect of him going back and taking the girl's life Making up for his own mistake is supposed to be kind of the gratifying factor And I do feel that death gives him a pass for very lukewarm reasons But he does explain that you guys keep coming back and you guys keep cocking stuff up So if you I don't fix this you're gonna do something worse So the episode ends with him shoving Sam's soul back down his gullet and it ends with him screaming and We're left on that cliffhanger for a while and to be frank I have been a bit harsh on this season and this episode An accordance for the last few have brought back that flavor that Want that drive to me and I'm kind of waiting for it to be absolutely Crushed as the season progresses obviously, but this was a really decent mid-season finale and I'm gonna give it credit for that So in the end I'm gonna give this episode a six out of seven. It is quite close to a seven. Don't get me wrong I just feel like I said that conniption that sort of lacking amount of time past or Challenges past with Dean is death Should have been a little bit drawn out It should have had a little bit more content to it to really fully grasp that heart decision and not make it Look like Dean completely fucked the ball on the third down But I asked you guys what you had to say so let's read those comments off after all the cautions about what would happen if Sam Got a soul back and the death of Crowley did anyone think that Sam would be getting his soul back just an episode later That is actually kind of a thing that we're starting to see especially in this season and you pointing that out I didn't really realize that this episode shows the brother's story We see Dean rush into his deal with the death with death with the idea that he'll be able to Majestically save his brother's soul Simultaneously that we watch Sam do whatever he can to prevent his body from containing a soul both brothers make deals both Make them do horrible things and both of them fail I only have two issues with this episode the entire Dean being death for 24 hours and how it is played out It's pretty predictable. I did enjoy watching it, but I do see it as also being an issue and I can see where you're coming From there. I like I guy said in my review I feel like it should have been a little bit longer There should have been more to it and the cat and mouse game that Sam plays with Bobby Oh boy, the writers make Bobby look like he's never seen a horror movie before I don't know I feel that they did that pretty good in terms of like the back and forth and the the tension in that scene Sam gets a soul back We basically see the end of soul of Sam. I like soul of Sam He was creepy and wrong, but he was amazing may sound weird But anytime I can see the embodiment of death means it's usually going to be a good time and and a bad time for Dean Although I can't help but feel that Dean learned absolutely Nothing because of the way he continues to cheat death for Sam again and again and again making this episode kind of pointless But maybe death already knew that at and just needed a good laugh or something also that Sam Torrance moment was pretty great Goddamn. I love soul of Sam RIP truly the saddest loss of this season I do see where you're coming from in terms of Dean not really getting anything That was evident with how many times of this show was gonna get renewed like anything that these guys learned Clearly as we can see never really ever learned Appointment in Samara is a good episode I love Robert Englund's cameo at the beginning of this episode when he does the Freddy laugh This episode reminds me a bit of a Simpsons Halloween special Where Homer becomes death it was very good when Dean goes around and killing people and then he gets the girl and refuses And Tessa says what did you think it was going to be all cops and robbers and heart attacks? She's 12 with a heart serious heart condition And when he doesn't kill her and other people die in her place because she doesn't die The way she was supposed to love Julie and Richards as death that have never complained about him in Supernatural I love that they get the hint that souls are like mini nuclear bomb reactors I do like how they represent the soul and it's like this beacon of bastion of light as it's being Shugged into Sam. I think that was good. I really enjoyed this episode. Glad to see death once again as usual Julie and Richards is great I really enjoy seeing this actor who the guy who played Freddy is here I'm surprised that death decided to allow Dean to be him for 24 hours. Glad that Tessa was there to help Dean out She's so right Dean always finds a way to disturb the balance I also enjoyed Balthazar's appearance not surprised that Sam doesn't want his soul back Nar that he was willing to do anything to stop it including trying to kill Bobby and that's what makes this such a good Back-and-forth episode this constant tension Poem in Samaras among my top 10 favorite episodes of the show while it's high praise Dean having to understand the natural order of being death The horseman was an excellent way for us to see why the boys get away with Countless resurrections and the consequences of tampering with it to me death the horseman from season 5 to 10 always represented What I wanted God to be for the show who is like a father figure to Dean also props to Jared for being chilling while trying to kill Bobby fun fact There's not a single pie cameo this season while the rest of the seasons do oh my the pie facts Oh Appointment in Samara is really good episode and not just because of Jillian riches coming back as death You have complained about Dean this season, but I and I am sorry if I disagree I completely understand him Why wouldn't he remind Sam how completely unbalanced he is considering what he has done before both before and in previous episodes for me Dean doesn't come across as a whiny brat yet And he's gonna do that in season that's 13 non words But he definitely needs a lesson about responsibility at this point in his life and the episode is a great way to do that I feel that Dean's just a broken record. That's my main complaint He just keeps saying the same thing like there's no any kind of variation to how they could be expressing it The fact that they do just have him on this loop over and over again really just irritates me so much I understand where he's coming from but then when he says it so many fucking times in the same way It just drives me nuts death's challenge is just so satisfying to watch because he's basically tells Dean What God told him in season five stop being a whiny brat except your responsibility and the consequences of your actions This is such a great message for the character in the audience for that message alone This is one of my favorite episodes of the season anyone else Mention how random it is that Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger himself. I can't be the only one I like how he's in here because he's technically speaking taking Dean to a Dream slide slash death zone. He's the one who transfers him over considering Freddy Krueger is the one who can Transfer from both the dream world to the real world.
