The third episode of season 11. Still not impressed. Let's talk about the things that went wrong and the few things that went right.
So I didn't really have any motivation to finish this, but here at least are some thoughts (complaints) about the third episode of this season.
I'm sure there are a ton of other Supernatural fans that have had the same thought as I have: why are the Buckner & Ross-Leming writing duo still writing for this show?? They are consistently responsible for some of the worst episodes of this show and this episode suffers from the same thing as their previous script (that I'm still pretending did not happen): characters acting out of character. The biggest problem in this episode was Rowena. She was way out of character and she already did this recruitment thing last season. Can we get a new plot, please?
Also, can we stop with the porn jokes? It stopped being funny years ago, so just let it go. We get it already, these are straight guys and they like porn. Are the writers really that immature that the same joke year after year is genuinely funny to them or do they feel threatened by the amount of gay fan fiction written about the characters that they need to remind the audience that these characters are straight or something? I don't get it. Okay, the exchange between Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles on twitter about Jensen technically being a porn director was a little funny, but still, please stop this, Supernatural. Also, Dean hitting on a woman while looking for Cas was pointless and out of character.
Anyone else find it creepy that Crowley treats Amara like a little girl? She may be in the shape of one but she is older than god. Also, why does she allow this? Why is she content to sit around with a nanny? Is she trying to gather information about demons and this world before she tries anything? And what does she want in any case? Can we get some answers, please?
While the scene where an angel and a demon meet at bar was interesting, it felt out of place. Like it belonged to another episode that explored that more. Also, this fucking better go somewhere and not just be some random scene these writers decided to throw in.
Now that I have complained enough, here's something good about this episode: Jensen Ackles' direction. I always look forward to the episodes he directs because he is wonderful at it. It's a shame the script he had to work with wasn't better, but even then he did a fantastic job.
The scene where Dean refused to let Cas heal him was good. These two make my heart melt.
That's all I have to say about this boring episode that brings nothing new to this show. Can this be the last episode these writers write?
I have to say, I'm excited for the next episode! It's written by Robbie Thompson, so that already promises something good and it's all about Baby. I can't wait!
