The Bad Place

I loved the introduction of the new character Kaia. I loved the elements of reality that were blended in with her character, and I can't wait to see her again (and hopefully in the spin off as well)! I am excited for the infinite possibilities for alternative universes, I think it will help keep the show fresh, and I realllllly hope we get to see dinosaurs! I knocked one star off because I really didn't care for the way that Dean threatened Kaia... I know he was desperate in that moment, but I didn't care for that moment at all. Maybe that's not worth knocking one star off for, but there you go!

This would have been one of the best episodes of the season had the writers not placed so much stress on the misdirection surrounding Derek and worse created a new rule for wards. Outside of this episode wards could not be destroyed by the creatures they warded against. I hate when the show does this-the mythos is already a mess-a real dog's breakfast-and I don't need yet another ad hoc plot mechanic.

With that said, this has several really engaging action set pieces and two very touching Jack moments and a *great* Jack line (i.e. Coke). The direction is also really engaging here.

It gave a newness to the show. I thought it amped up the thrill as it went.

Gonna be as spoiler-free as possible but if you take a cult TV show with seemingly infinite longevity, war-hardened production crew with massive skills, fantastic actors, and shake them up in a bag looking to get a spin off for the new generation, you get the FANTASTIC vigor that is Wayward. A+, 10/10, whatever you need me to tell you.

Fantastic mood camera felt like old SPN courtesy of Sgriccia, giving us grit. Bobo's pen lets us know the fire in our future for all of this. Our new girls are ready to grind. Let's do this. Supernatural, Wayward Sisters, all of it. My body and mind are ready.

This episode was fantastic! The writer of this episode is honestly one of the few writers on the show I truly feels knows these characters and their stories and actually writes them well. Also, the alternate universe this episode took us too was VERY interesting to say the least. (no spoilers!) Kaia, Kaia, Kaia! LOVE HER. Kaia is an amazing character and I cannot wait to see more of her hopefully on Supernatural, but also as one of the leads on Wayward! I'm really excited to see her team up with Donna, Jody, Claire, Alex, and Patience in the pilot in January. If this episode was just a taste of what's to come with Bobo's writing and the cast in Wayward, I CAN NOT WAIT.
