    Criminally underrated, guys..

    A highly underrated 40+ mins...Maybe criminally underrated amongst the fan base. We all know season 12 isn't one of the better overall seasons... I enjoy all the seasons but it's by far not one of the best seasons. Now there's a good amount of great episodes: this being one of them. But for those of you that don't know, it was inspired by Quentin Tarantino's style of film/Reservoir Dogs movie. It works to perfection with with this script. It completely stands on its own as another SPN unconventional classic. It's jam packed with: humor, suspense, creativity, amazing camera work with angles and editing, really Great character moments(Here's looking at you Castiel and Crowley), mystery/intrigue with twists and does a superb job in opening up and therefore closing new/old plot developments. The villain was intriguing. And the Tarantino style of directing gave it a sense of fast paced entertainment. Sometimes I wish SPN would dive into their own creativity even more than they do. They always seem to knock it out of the park with different styles or concepts of episodes. Anyways "Stuck in the Middle With You" is Consistently solid from the opening scene until the end credits. Honestly a 9 rating seems to be a little low, in my opinion. 9.5 is the perfect rating to me. It does just about everything perfectly. And Castiel's speech is an all timer in my mind. Gave me geekdom goosebumps.

    best episode of season

    It can be said that it was the best episode of season 12, as if you were watching one of Tarantino's movies And Mary's return to the game was a mistake

    Best Episode of the season so far

    This has to be the best episode of Season 12. Not only was it a very good episode it was very well made. The producers mentioned they were going to make a Tarantino type episode and they paid excellent homage to the great director. The different perspectives of our beloved characters, good music, new plot additions and filming techniques made for an excellent episode.

    The Prince of Hell was very entertaining as was adding another layer of intrigue and story to the series. We were treated to a new biblical item that was powerful enough to kill angels and demons. The episode also threw in humorous moments with Dean trying to teach Castiel a thing or two about women and having trivial chatter during a serious scene made more enjoyable. The producers certainly hit this one out of the park with excellent filming that focused on certain things that added mystery and suspense such as focusing on the door knob slowly opening or the repeat of scenes to give greater context as the episode unfolded.

    A great episode in what has been so far a very mediocre season. I am hoping they continue with this quality from what they have started.

    such a fun episode

    Perfect harmony!

    Firstly, it has to be said that this is one of the best ever written Supernatural's episode! It is SO hard to do really well when you work on an episode that doesn't bring the things in chronological order. And it was perfect at this time!

    And here we had not only different timelines from the same episode, but also from the whole Supernatural story. The writters made it so good that we were able to connect points from the seasons 2, 5 and 6.

    The Colt wasn't been touched for 7 seasons since the thing with Lucifer in season 5. The reason why Crowley had become the King of Hell was never been mentioned since it happened, in season 6. Same thing with the reason why Azazel, who died in season 2, had yellow eyes.

    So many different things and everything works well. Excelent!
