Baby

This episode was just great. I won't write any spoilers so this will be spoiler free. This episode takes place in the view of "Baby" Dean and Sam's car. And it was just great. Each episode has action pact fights but this was way more chill. This episode made me think of the first few seasons when they just hunted monsters. This episode had great dialogue between the brothers and I loved every second of it. You may think it's going to be boring because it's always in the car but it isn't. This is what I missed and I love they did it again. Best episode of the season and one of the better Supernatural episodes ever. It's a must watch.

One of the best episodes of supernatural. It may start slowly for some viewers but worth watching to the end especially if you are familiar with "baby" and the general story line. This episode will lead you from laid back and chilled to raw violence, all peppered with a little dry humor. Great bonding, great music, great scenes, great camera work and all from a unique perspective, that of the car's. Loved the reverse 180!

In one word, phenomenal.

My favourite episodes are always the odd ones: "Weekend a Bobby's (6x04)", "The Man Who Would Be King (6x20)", "The French Mistake (6x15)", "Fan Fiction (10x05)", "Monster Movie (4x05)" or "Bitten (8x04)".

But this episode... this episode IS the very essence of "Supernatural", it IS the show. The call-back to "Swan Song (5x22)" is very cool and everything else about this episode is just perfect: it hits the perfect note in every scene, on every dialogue.

This kind of episodes are why people love TV shows, and why there are fandoms. The writers have done a beautiful job and I think this episode has just become my favourite 40mins on television.

Fans can love this episode and the writers and actors for it, and newcomers can watch an impressively well executed piece of drama that'll hook anyone for 11 seasons (and counting).

The Impala hadn't received a proper episode yet, now justice has been done.

Welcome home, Baby.

Before I even get started, know that I'm a very harsh critic. Usually I'm picky about how well the writers and directors of supernatural tell their story, and usually I have one or two things that I would complain about. However, after watching this episode, I literally felt compelled to make sure every fan was aware of this episode's existence.

This episode was by far the most impressive and well-directed episode of supernatural to date. Maybe not the most important in level of story arcs, but it was presented in such a tone that made me look at the show in a whole new perspective.

First, the episode (other than misc. car jamming) has absolutely no soundtrack. It gave a gloomy, honest, realistic tone to the episode that Supernatural basically has never tried before. It felt incredible, almost like I was watching Breaking Bad or No Country for Old Men. The dialogue became more real, the storyline became more fluid, the action had a level of horror and suspense that never really shined through in the show's other action scenes. All just from this gloomy silence filling the episode, it made the episode feel so much more powerful in all aspects of its storytelling.

Second, I was worried watching the whole episode from the perspective of their Impala would be somewhat irritable, I was dead wrong. What this episode highlights clearly is that the Impala is not a prop, a vehicle, but a home with four doors and a roof. The Impala itself is a character, that symbolizes the entire prolific meaning of the brother's relationship to their family, and to the family business. It's an icon of great proportions that this episode brings forth into the light and it was done flawlessly.

Third, the dialogue was stupendous. I would love for whoever directed & wrote this episode to basically do the rest of the season for us. The moments the brothers had in this episode somewhat reminded me of the film End of Watch. There was a scene in the end of that film (no spoilers) of basically our two protagonists just having a hilarious and down to earth conversation. I can honestly say that with such close characters, Supernatural never really had a history of those scenes. However, this episode had several moments like that. Essentially two brothers having a bro-to-bro talk. No sopping over who's right or wrong, no arguing about who should be sacrificed for the other, no crying over spilled milk, just getting along and having a good time with each other. This came through as an element that really brought us closer to our characters. Kind of feels like we get to really "hang out" with our Winchesters, not like other episodes.

All in all, if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it. It's an episode that will go down in Supernatural history.

This season so far has been JAW DROPPING. I hope they keep it up.

I have been with this show since season 1 and have been seeing how it has been slowly declining and becoming more of a Soap Opera than hunting monsters and being thrilling. Hell, I've even seen where Dean has his own intro music now. But, I am with this to the end and was glad to see the release of this episode.

What truly captured my attention to this particular episode was how it was solely focused on the character (which I admit have never thought of before) that has been with the boys since the very first episode, the 1967 Chevrolet Impala. The camera work was astounding and it still remained true to the story arc of the season (which has been getting better).

As for the acting, incredible. There was seldom any action and a lot of talking. And not the usual "But I did it to save you!" and "I didn't ask to be saved!", no no this one was how two brothers, nay, how two close friends should talk to each other. Not bashing, but understanding and leaving it in the past.

The action as well was spectacular and it felt good to see the boys go monster hunting once more, as is their jobs.

Fantastic episode, though I'm sadden as I know there won't be another quite like it for quite a while. Still, 10/10, best episode this season.
