After last week’s Mark of
Cain-centric episode, not to mention its very much cliffhangery ending, I
expected this episode to be a continuation of that storyline. So imagine my
surprise when it started out with the kind of typical Supernatural opening sequence
which usually is a sign of a standalone, Monster of the Week episode. Now, I’m
one of those weirdos who actually love those kind of episodes, not just on
Supernatural but on most similar shows as well (and yes, The Flash is an
exception, but that’s only because for some reason they are unable to make any
of their villains interesting in any way). I keep telling the complainers that
there simply has to be a break from
the main storyline every once in a while, otherwise we would never be able to
let any steam out, especially if the current storyline is as dark and
depressing as Supernatural’s usually is. Or, say, the last two seasons of
Person of Interest. As much as I would love to get along with the story and
find out whatever Samaritan is up to, sometimes you just gotta have an episode
where Reese has to catch the perp on a plane while Finch is trying to land it
from his office using a joystick, you know? Okay, that was a long time ago, but
so many people complained about that episode being „too light” and „out of
place”, while I thought it was one of the most fun episodes of the show ever
and it came at a time when we desperately needed some fun, so yeah. That has
nothing to do with Supernatural but you see what I’m trying to say here, right?
Standalone episodes are important too. All that said, I was a bit baffled by
the writers’ choice to have such an episode right here, right now, just as
we’ve finally managed to find a way to maybe remove that bloody mark once and
for all. So thank God it was a false alarm, and the episode turned out to be
very important in terms of the greater plot, and it was also very Rowena-heavy,
which is always a good thing in my book.
