This week on Supernatural Sam and Dean dive into the world of wrestling.
To me, this episode is just kinda blah. Yes, Dean is adorkable, but the rest is boring and predictable.
Okay, so first off, I don't get wrestling as a sport. I don't understand what's so great about dudes beating each other in tights and this all just makes zero sense to me. That said, the Winchesters having fun, enjoying themselves, and Dean outright admitting that he needs time off is fantastic. Also, fanboy Dean Winchester is awesome and it is fun to see him acting like a little kid. And knowing that Jensen Ackles probably had a ton of fun just letting go and making a fool of himself makes this even more enjoyable.
I do like the scene where Dean and Gunner compare battle scars. It's a nice bonding moment that allows them to connect and Dean is just so excited to be hanging out with his hero. Though I gotta ask, Dean was drinking with the wrestlers and then passed out and everyone just left him there? That does not seem safe...
The moment that broke my heart was Dean telling Gunner that he believes it is never too late to make the right choice because he has to. Because he has to believe that Cas can still come back and do the right thing, and because he has to believe it isn't too late for himself either.
Though the case itself? It's boring and I don't really understand it. Who hanged that dude in the beginning? Because it didn't look like there was a human being behind it. So was that the crossroads demon? And why kill that dude with the kid? Was that Gunner or not? Though that kill was right after the fight so I don't see how it could have been him. So yeah, I'm confused.
And to be honest, all these characters just feel flat to me. I don't connect to them in any level, which means I don't feel bad for Gunner. He feels bad about the choices he has made, but apparently he also killed a bunch of people, so no, I don't think he was redeemed by letting Dean live.
I'm still not sure what to make of the scenes between Lucifer and Crowley. I do want to see a proper confrontation between the two, but were the double-crosses supposed to be big twists? Because we know these characters well, so it was obvious that Lucifer orchestrated Crowley's escape and that Crowley knew this and had a trick of his own up his sleeve. Like I said, boring and predictable...
Oh, and why is Lucifer staying at that asylum (it was an asylum where Crowley kept court, right?) Crowley was staying at? I didn't think he would want to stay there...
Let's hope Supernatural ups its game when it come back in a month.
