This was the saddest episode ever. Who did not sob from Wanted dead or alive to the ending. Dean is so wonderful but at least he comes back to life! *spoiler*. I loved this episode and have watched it over and over. Supernatural as a whole is not comparable to any TV season I've seen. It is mind blowing. I think that the writers have taken this season and put into motion what the general public have wanted to see throughout all the series they have watched, the hero (hot as well or as hell) dies at the end. This may be subconscious but it is a thought none the less. FANTASTIC!!
A powerful season finale, that is even more breathtaking after the revelations of Season Four. Plus, the Hell's imagery - as concocted by Eric Kripke - is astounding! hide show
I'd state it right away. I have a single complaint about "No Rest For The Wicked" and it is the reason why I didn't rate it with a full, 10 points score. After the momentum built in Season One by the couple formed by "Salvation" and "Devil's Trap" and after the magnificent climax of "All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 1 & 2", "No Rest For The Wicked" feels too short. It lasts only thirty-eight minutes and it could have easily lasted for another thirty-eight. Maybe without the Writers' Strike, the episode would have been different - much consistent and longer -, but as it is it feels, particularly near the end, a tad too short. Aside from this minor quibble, the episode is perfect: we have a great fight (between Dean and Ruby), we have a bunch of genuinely frightening scenes (Lilith's vacation's pleasures), we have an ominous and menacing atmosphere oozing from beginning to end (i.e. when Dean hallucinates on Demon!Sam) and we have a couple of very intense, emotional moments between the two brothers, where Dean desperately asks Sam not to make the same mistakes all over again, to live his life at the fullest, to take care of the Impala and to not meddle in with demons, because they will only try to corrupt him. Dean - in a scene reminiscent of what John said at the end of "Shadows" (1.16) - realizes that Sam is his weak spot and viceversa and the demons will never stop to use this against them. After Season Four, Dean's words are nothing but prophetic and they nicely sum up Azazel's masterplan of scheming and tweaking with the Winchester weakness to manipulate them in releasing Lucifer. He asked for John's life for him to be the one who would break the first seal, and Dean after him, knowing that Dean would have done anything - even selling his soul - to bring Sam back. And, what's even more important, knowing that Dean's death would have brought Sam right in Ruby's arms. It's a testament to Eric Kripke's genius to see how perfectly all the pieces fall right into place, and the mythology of the show is rich and deep thanks indeed to this well-oiled clockwork. The final moments of "No Rest For The Wicked" are deeply powerful and the brief glimpse we caught of Hell is extremely disturbing and it even reminded me of the Chenobites' dimension from "Hellraiser", a gentle nod that I, as a horror fan, can't help but utterly adore.
This episode came over the top. It had the perfect element of every main character, well except Bela of course. Ruby's lines were once again hilarious. I love how she really seems to hate Dean in this episode. I don't like how Sam followed Dean though. Then I find out this is Katie Cassidy's last episode. Which totally sucks! So Lauren & Katie only had six episodes. Anyways... the boys face Lillith counting the fact that Dean is going to hell & all that tension between Dean & Ruby. I started wondering how Ruby really looks like. After Dean said that. Dean goes to hell & they show hell which I didn't know you could do. Cannot wait for next season!
A beautiful, beautiful season finale! hide show
This episode was incredible in more ways than one. I personally, unlike a lot of other fans, loved Ruby and Bela since I first saw them on the show, though like all others I didn't like them when I first heard them. So, when Bela died and Ruby died I was quite sad! I didn't want either of them gone from the show. Of course, it's pretty much been confirmed that Ruby is gone for good, but the way she died... it's still up in the air. BUT the best part of this episode HAS to be Dean's death and Sam's tear-fest. It was incredible. The way Dean died, with the HellHounds, and the way his body was left afterwards, poor, por Sammy to have ot see his brother like that. I literally teared up when I saw it. This episode was a perfect way to end the season. It's sad that it was only 16 episodes, but with this season finale, I know next season will be AWESOME!
a wonder season finale hide show
Since the writer's strike cut Supernatural shorter than it could have been, I was worried the writers were going to blow the season finale off. I'm happy to say this is not the case. In fact, this is one of the best is not THE best season finale Supernatural has ever had, topped off by a short but stupendous season. Dean is running out of time until his contract is up and he is whisked off into Hell. Not to mention that during his final hours, he gets embued with "Hell-sight", where he can actually see the demons wandering around. Desperate to save his brother, Sam goes to both Bobby and Ruby to track down Lilith and stop her once and for all. There was never a dull moment in this episode, as the suspense only grew and the stakes too grew higher. It was so tense, you were literally glued to your seat to see what happened next. As usual, the acting is brilliant. Bobby was brilliant being by the brothers' side until the very end, and a great thing about Season Three is that it utilized Bobby a lot more. Ruby was a wonderful addition to the cast and unfortunately, the way the episode ended with just her, it's hard to say if she'll return in Season Four. It was hard watching Sam going against the odds to help his brother even when he realized there was heavy odds against him, and it was hard for Dean to admit he was scared to go to Hell; at first, he was shrugging it off and then at the final couple of hours, wanting desperately to get out of the deal. The ending was shocking to say the least and was a serious cliffhanger for everyone involved. The finale also raised a lot more questions: What will happen with Dean? How will the demon war finally play out in the end? What's with Sam's powers? And what was the creepy vision that Dean saw when he looked at Sam? All these questions have yet to be answered. If you want to see how the next part plays out, look for what's sure to be an exciting Season Four in September.
