Finally the Joey reference
So funny when Dean asks Kali "How you doin'?".
I have always thought that Dean looks - and acts - a lot like Joey in Friends and I have been waiting for him to say that line - in that voice.
Loved it!

I don't understand all the hate.
So I read through a few of the other reviews, and most of them seem to be mainly upset at the fact that the writers didn't portray the Gods properly. Honestly, when has this show actually been 100% accurate for ANYTHING?
It's pretty liberal on all the details and lore for the monsters. Not to mention the fact that the way they portray angels and demons is practically something that Michael Bay would come up with. We all know that Angels are the warriors of God, but they aren't arrogant, heartless creatures like Zachariah or Raphael.
So how about everyone actually tries to understand something here. IT'S A FREAKING TV SHOW!!! They are going to write things that they feel will get the viewers attention. It's probably safe to say that the majority of the viewers DON't actually bother to research everything in the supernatural world. I've actually gone on the Wiki to compare facts, and SPN has their own lore and universe now.
So bottom line, if they want to show a bunch of random Gods as being childish cannibals looking to reclaim the planet, then let them do it. You don't have to like the episode like every other sheep in the flock. Just know that artistic liberties will ALWAYS be taken when they can.

Pagan Gods, Gabriel and Lucifer
While driving through the road, Dean and Sam stop for the night in a remote four-star hotel. Sooner they learn that Kali, Baldur, Odin and other pagan gods have kidnapped the guests to eat them and dean and Sam to summon Lucifer and avoid the Apocalypse. Out of the blue, Gabriel arrives in the spot to warn Kali and the other gods that Lucifer will destroy them; however, it is too late sin Lucifer has just arrives in the hotel.
"Hammer of the Gods" is an episode where Dean and Sam meet pagan gods, Gabriel and Lucifer. The story is gore and silly, with the cannibal pagan gods eating humans. The conclusion is disgusting with the Pestilence arriving to certainly meet the Winchester brothers. My vote is six.

Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and Eric Kripke Walk Into a Bar...
Between Dirk Gently and the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, American Gods, Good Omens, and The Sandman, this episode has almost all of the characters, tropes, and set-pieces that have delighted audiences for decades. Say what you will about Supernatural's soap-opera schtick, but the humour and heart keep rising to the top of the schlock heap. No wonder the show lasted for 15 years. While I'm tempted to think that the production design here has been influential to everything related that has come come after, there are certain sensibilities that are bound to get recycled within the TV series production community. After recently binging Lucifer, and enthralled by the success of Netflix's The Sandman, it's good to visit this solid effort on the mythological procedural sub-genre.
Did you know
- TriviaThe Elysian Fields are the part of the Greek mythological Underworld where the souls of the heroic and the virtuous go.
- GoofsActors who play the gods match the origins of the respective deities (Kali looks distinctly Indian, Odin matches the looks of a stereotypical Scandinavian, Zao Shen is played by a Chinese actor etc.), yet Ganesha, a Hindu deity, is inexplicably portrayed by an actor of African, not Indian descent.
