  • No more Big Bad Demons. Now its Big Bad Black Blood Dudes

    9.5
    This was an awesome episode! I love how at the end Black Blood Boss man was so mad at Crowley and completely walking right over him. Also, Sam get over the girl already. Remember the werewolf episode when they tried to stop the girl from being a werewolf. That didn't work, so why would a brain sucking girl be anything different? Get over it and be a big happy family with Dean again.moreless

  • Now THAT's better. (No spoilers).

    9.0
    The writer for this week's episode should be brought in every week. If not to write the episodes, at the very least, to consult.

    The dialogue was nothing short of excellent. From the moment Levithian Chet says: "Mmm... oakey. Similar finish to holy water, not as bitter as rock salt", it was hang on to your seat word play. Fast, witty and kept you interested until the very end.

    Apart from the verbal fencing, we had pretty good action and really good acting. Bobby, as always, was excellent, and even the brothers' interactions seemed less forced.

    THIS episode had more than a hint of what Supernatural USED to be, and that which made me first fall in love with the entire premise of two brothers battling evil nasties and kicking serious butt.

    The ending left a little to be desired: ergo things wrapped up a little too neatly for the two brothers; and the deaths of two extras which I thought we could have done without . . .but all in all, a great episode.

    Hopefully this is a constant turn for the better and we won't revert to the idiotic arc and awful writing the series has been seeing this season.moreless
  • Brothers Out For Blood

    7.5
    Slash Fiction-Two Leviathans take on the form of Sam and Dean and frame them for a series of murders. While the brothers take refuge with a surveillance expert, Bobby tries to figure out how to kill the Leviathans and clear the Winchester brothers' names.

    Definitely better and heading in the right direction. But I can't help continue to feel disappointed by the Leviathans as the main villains this season. Sure, they seem more vicious andmercilessthan the average monster or demon, especially during the opening sequence when they slaughter a group of people in a bank vault. Yet at the same time, they seem like the dumbest villains the brothers have ever faced. Here you have the Leviathans in the brothers' form, they framed them, had the brothers get arrested, probably leading to life in prison or the death penalty for the both of them, but instead of the letting the justice system deal with the brothers and continuing on with whatever plan they have doesn't make sense. Why try to kill thebrothersin jail when there was no point, they had already won. Why are they so obsessed with trying to kill the brothers? Their M.O. seems so vague at this point and it's also disappointing considering we could have seen so much more from this plot. I would have loved to have seen the brothers behind bars while the Leviathans continue to wreck havoc, maybe even mess up their lives even worse, try to trick Bobby into believing they are the "real" brothers. Since the Leviathans have all the memories of the people they turn into, why not play with that. I did love the scene where the Leviathans make fun of Dean and Sam's personalities, weaknesses as well as one of them admitting they like Dean's hair.

    Speaking of Bobby, I love his continued failed attempts at trying to kill the Leviathan the boys captured. Those were definitely the stronger parts of the episode, from the head decapitations, gun shots etc. The eventual weakness discovery was pretty hilarious, especially Bobby running up to kiss Sheriff Jody. I'm starting to like these two together by the way! The cleaning products being the weakness for Leviathans is pretty silly yet rather humorous, I do like the burning affect it has on them. Though, once again, the Leviathans themselves aren't being written well enough. The scene where Dean LeviathanconfrontsSam, it was all too predictable. You pretty much knew how the scene would end. Sam finally knows that Dean lied to him and killed Amy. Sam's reaction was as expected as he decides to stay away for Dean...for how long? No one knows! But we know it won't last, the brothers have been through worse! I also didn't buy the Sheriff's cover up and one of the FBI agents being a Leviathan as well was also seen coming. I again wonder what was the point of that? Sure, they had a Leviathan as a FBI agent to cover their tracks but why not use that form to track the brothers or manipulate the legal system or something....?

    Anyway, I also got to mention the scene between the supposed head of the Leviathans and Crowley. It's been a while since we've seen him and even in one scene, he was asmenacingyet charming as ever! The Leviathan's threat was pretty good and it looks like Crowley won't be manipulating anyone again.....at least for the moment. All and All, "Slash Fiction" was good episode, it definitely moved these along well enough, I just wish the Leviathan arc was as exciting as it started in the first two episodes.moreless
