Could a title have been more apropos? As difficult reviews go, this was up there. Not because I disliked the episode – quite the opposite in fact; it was a fantastic episode from opening to final credit.
There was a lot that worked well about this episode and then there was a lot that didn’t work as well. It was a rich fantasy with a creative spin on a very old idea – and overall, this part was presented in a very enjoyable way.
Plush was more than I expected it to be. Well paced, colourful and humorous with an emotional climax and still relevant enough to the overarching seasonal drive, it was a great episode.
Amazing. Is there really much else to say? Cas is back. Metatron is miserably mortal. Sam is having questionably intense visions.

Old vs. New Sam Winchester – Part 1: Self There can be no question that Sam Winchester has changed dramatically from the young man who left school on a short trip with his older brother Dean to the Sam we know now, ten years later. Many experiences, revelations, friends and enemies, losses and gains have…
Supernatural Season Seven: Hits and Misses – A Second Look It’s been a few years now since I began the “Hits and Misses” reflections pieces. They’re always a fun way to look back at the last ten years of adventures, emotional moments and character arcs of our favourite brothers. The season seven list holds a unique…
Transport trucks. Hell hounds. Falling angels. Leviathan. As far as finales go, Supernatural has done them every way imaginable and usually manages to leave the audience hanging on the edge. “Brother’s Keeper” certainly had some edge, but as finales go – was it on par with what we’re used to overall?
