Let me start off by saying that I went into the show thinking that Kripke, Sera and the rest of the creators had been violating the rules of their own universe.  By the end of the episode, I’ve been convinced that not only have they stuck to their own rules, but they managed to throw a few curves this season thanks to some brilliant misdirection.  Well played, Kripke.
I’m really not trying to be cute or clever here.  This episode was an extremely dark, sad and traumatic episode for many fans.  My intent here is to inject some much-needed levity into my review.   If you’re not ready for that, you may not want to read on.
For those Supernatural fans who say that they haven't gotten enough insight into Sam's brain this season, the past few episodes have given us quite a tour of Sam's head.  The problem is, I'm not sure it's a place that we want to be.
A few months ago, casting spoilers leaked to the Internet that Kripke and Co. were searching for the third Winchester brother.  Fans were livid.  Torches were sharpened.  Pitchforks were set on fire.  But before they could get a really good mob going, the title of the episode was also leaked: Jump The Shark.  The fans released a collective huh and then sat back to enjoy the carnage.
I love the funnier episodes of Supernatural best.  (Of course when I get a tightly-plotted episode like last season’s Jus in Bello I say that I love those best.  I’m easy that way.  Just don’t tell Dean).
Recently the hit TV show Supernatural has taken some flack from fans.  In the past, the show has taken heat from viewers who protest the image that the show portrays of minorities and women.  Now, the show’s creators have a new minority to worry about: the differently alive.
It’s about time we got another episode that works on Dean’s self esteem.  After last week’s sucker punch that left him broken and crying, it was sorely needed.  And as an added bonus, we got increased Sammy screentime.
If you read the headline for this article then I’m sure you can guess my reaction to Supernatural episode 4.16, On the Head of a Pin.  But just in case I wasn’t clear enough: holy crap!
In the Hunt: Unauthorized Essays on Supernatural promises to take a close look at what makes Supernatural "about more than a cool car, a kick-ass soundtrack and hot guys with guns"...
If you're one of the fans who has had complaints about this season's Supernatural then episode 4.15, Death Takes a Holiday, hits every major gripe.
