A Most Holy Man

I read the reviews for this episode and do generally agree with them, the good ones and the bad ones, there is a lot of cheese (deliberate I believe) HOWEVER what I do love about this episode is that by using the cheesy bits the way it does, this episode manages to focus on the brothers again and their quest. I do love the little surprising twists, turns and decisions that lead the boys to their ultimate goal, the blood of the most holy man.

When the best thing I can think of is "thankfully it isn't a chick-spinoff episode" that doesn't really say much. The boys don't care, the writer didn't care, I'm not sure what the plan was, who they were trying to please. I've been watching longer than my 12 year old has been alive. Please go back to when the show was exciting.

Supernatural is easily one of my favourite shows. It has elements that make it enduring and this season has been pretty decent.

However this episode was a combination of weird and disappointing. Supernatural has forged its own identity within the sci-fi genre so why is it getting mixed up with different genres at the same time. A cross over can work very well if done right but in this instance it was all over the place. You had organised crime and detective related scenarios warped into one episode. What made it worse was the random operatic music playing during the fight scene. Not sure what they were trying to achieve besides filling up their episode count.

The show has produced some really different episodes with flair and style but still stuck to their guns and roots. Now I hear there is a Scooby Doo episode coming up? This show is venturing off into uncharted waters. Lets 'pray' it has some kickass episodes towards the end.

I like what they tried to do but it sticks out like a sore thumb. Storyline not interesting enough and characters cheesey but not in a good way. If binge watching this could definitely be skipped!

Less magic, more detective, and Sam and Dean in film noir setting. Holy Maltese Falcon! Yeah it's not the same demon blood bath, but the background music is perfecto and the camera shots are straight out a Sidney Greenstreet/Humphrey Bogart movie. Kids, be warned, this isn't a Rock'em Sock'em robots episode.
