Back and to the Future

Why they using wrong actress for lady ghosts, On first episode the actress was Sara Shahi

This episode is not bad it starts on slow motion actions and no blood is bumping through veins when you watch this episode even the song at the start wasnot epic like the song in season 8 and 9 intro song but we will see in the next episodes what will happen canot wait to see more actions i hope its agood season

Maybe they're saving the production budget for later episode because this felt like a low budget after school special.

I'll start by saying that the expectations were really high going into the episode. The cliffhanger from the last season had laid down a great setup. This season premiere, though, was very short on delivering on that premise. A lot of the tension got subdued by limiting the impact, while the characters do some stuff that is so off with their personalities. The utter disregard for the loss of a certain individual so soon after he's gone is jarring to say the least. Also, it's really surprising for a totally newcomer to command the trust of the main characters in, like, a couple of minutes.

The nostalgic factor gave all the right feels. It's really emotional that we are coming towards the end of this spectacular series. Let's hope the last mile delivery to this epic journey is a bit smoother going forward. Cause the Winchesters deserve it.

Season 15 of the show has a lot nostalgia for and callbacks to the prior years. Sometimes these callbacks don't really work or are forced. That's not the case here. The symmetry with the pilot episode lands and it opening episode does set the stage for the season well. Some of the action beats are lame or silly but this is a good start to the final season.

Secondly, Belphegor is a very fun and funny side character. I'm glad Calvert got to play a much different persona because that ties in to the number of times Ackles and Padalecki had to play different characters. Calvert is pretty good as the quippy jerk.
