    If it was aired today (in 2022), the show would get cancelled

    I have been meaning to write a review about the show since I started watching it for the firs time three weeks ago. Supernatural has been on my watchlist for a very, very long time, but it always looked too long for me to watch. So I waited until the show did its finale and decided to watch from scratch. Finally I got around to watch it.

    My first impression before watching the show was that it was like Xena: The Warrior Princess, you know, but for women. As a man, I loved Xena, or, to be honest, I loved watching the adventures of two extremely attractive women on TV. So I had thought this show is about the adventures of two extremely attractive men through supernatural events.

    I was kinda right.

    However, character development in the show is quite intriguing. The frame-tale story telling is captivating and you naturally go on watching wondering what is going to happen next.

    As for this episode, I will not go into details (because IMDB deletes my reviews when I quote the shows), but if this episode aired today in 2022, there would be no season eight, let alone a finale in season fifteen.

    Good movie!

    The quality of this episode is superb: movie quality, GOOD movie quality. The plot, the photography, the action, the characterization--everything is James Bond-like, specifically the ones with Daniel Craig as 007.

    Apparently, Supernatural has some money now to spend on production; and it paid off in spades. Good job, everybody! I've seen many worse multimillion-dollar productions. The writer and director should now have the confidence and the proof that they can make a full-length motion picture based on Supernatural. They would definitely have a good return on their investment.Obviously, I think that this episode is one of the best; in fact, how do you top this episode?

    The characters are balanced out, too. No one or two people Bogart the episode, which keeps it fast-paced and riveting. You want to know who is doing what, when, and how; and you aren't disappointed either. A very enjoyable way to spend 42 minutes!

    A real gem; the best of this episode subtype

    This is one of the very few episodes that remotely conforms to the heist format-"Nightshifter," "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Red Sky at Morning" also come to mind. This one however is nearly pure a heist story. The timeline is broken up, the reveals are based on shifting perspectives. etc. The split screen is a stylish flourish that I am glad they tried. This is such a well put together episode.

    Charlie is of course the star but this is so much more than her introduction.

    Vengeful Spirit

    Dick Roman assigns his employee, the hacker Charlie Bradbury, to decode Frank's hard drive. Meanwhile, Dean and Sam discover that Dick has the HD with the information about the leviathans, and they meet Charlie at her apartment and explain what is happening. Charlie promises to retrieve the content of the HD to the Winchester brothers and to snoop into Dick's e- mails in his mailbox and deliver them to the brothers.

    In "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo", the storyline with Dick Roman and the leviathans return, but Felicia Day steals the show in the role of the hacker Charlie Bradbury. Dean and Sam are helped by the ghost Bobby and the brothers show concern with the wish for revenge of Bobby. My vote is eight.

    Charlie

    This character was definitely a breath of fresh air. A lot of secondary characters this season habe felt inadequate and like repeats, Frank as a fill in of Bobby, Annie and Jody mills remind me too much of Ellen, Garth was great as a side character also. The episode doesn't really feel like supernatural but i guess you gotta embrace what it has become instead of hanging onto 1-6.
