Don't Call Me Shurley

The Sam, Dean B story about dealing with the fog is an ok riff on umm the Fog and other environmental horror stories. There's nothing new per se but on its own the fog is an ok set-up for a visceral horror. However it is coupled with the big reveal around Chuck.

The scenes with Metatron and Chuck are philosophical, whimsical and comedic. Apart from anything else they imply God is bisexual which is very subversive. They also contain a lot of fun around story and the problem of evil. But they are not visceral horror.

You put these two tones together and the overall mix is discordant. The fog ends up being too silly and the Chuck scenes end up coming across as too serious.

I cannot say why I love this episode. Really. It somehow hit me, even made me cry.

I agree with people here - you will either love this episode or not. You will either find this episode's dialog between G-d and Metatron amazing,or trivial.

Here I was, getting ho-hummed by the previous episodes of one of my favorite shows. Then came "Don't Call Me Shurly". I was....words can't describe...amazed!!!! (for the lack of a better one) The writers have outdone themselves on this one. Questions were answered, or were beginning to be answered that I have thought of not only through the show, but by myself through the years. Well, in a way only Supernatural can answer them. If this keeps up, I will have to buy this and any future episode that deals with this theme.

This is THE BEST episode I have seen yet! I have favorite episodes and entire seasons, but this one is truly awesome! I am looking forward to watching every week more than I ever have. Good work writers, staff and actors!!!!!! A MUST SEE. I am going to watch it again, and possible a few more times. That's how good it is!

This episode was EXCELLENT.

We've waited 6 years to know the truth. And man, this is what most of us hoped and wanted.

For all the haters out there:

You CANNOT judge what happened based on your religion. God is beyond religions and fundamentalism. God created us in his own image so as Joan Osborne said: What if God was one of us?

This show showed us an alternative outlook of God and I personally LOVED it.

Kudos to the creators. The show is in its 11th season and still giving us GREAT stories and episodes.

no spoilers here...

just when i thought they were never going to pull this card out of the supernatural deck... NO YOU DINT GUYS! yes you did! i loved it. fearless.

not the tightest episode by far in terms of storytelling, but a very enjoyable turn/reveal in terms of the overall story arc. and i'm still diggin' metatron very much.

i've felt they were stalling out on the amara storyline and think this episode hearkens a needed plot re-energization and hopefully they will punch it into higher gear the rest of the season.
