Supernatural's Season 4 finale featured Sam and Dean on separate paths. Sam took off with Ruby on a mission to kill Lilith while Dean hung out with the angels. Could the apocalypse possibly be averted?
Much like "When the Levee Breaks," I'm going to have to think about this episode for a long time. The cliffhanger didn't have the same impact as "Devil's Trap" or "No Rest for the Wicked." But it was more like Season 2's "All Hell Breaks Loose Part II" in that it set up what I imagine Season 5 is going to be all about. It also managed to provide some hope that Sam and Dean will be able to ...

In this intervention episode, Dean locked up Sam in Bobby's panic room, so we were treated to the youngest Winchester experiencing all the effects of demon blood withdrawal. Plus, Castiel showed up and made Dean an offer he couldn't refuse. Well, he could refuse. But he didn't.
"When the Levee Breaks" was one of those Supernatural episodes I seriously wish I had a week to think about before I had to write the blog. Some of the things that happened just stunned me. And at times (many times), it was really painful to watch because ...

Supernatural's Misha Collins got to show off his range in "The Rapture," an episode where we learned about Castiel's human vessel. But even above and beyond this sad, sad story, Dean finally found out Sam's big secret.
We were first introduced to Castiel in the season premiere. Over the course of the season, we saw an angel who slowly but surely started to show glimpses of humanity. Uriel even let it be known that Cas had sort of a soft spot for Dean. And in "The Monster at the End of this Book" the angel helped Dean win a battle over Lilith who was trying to seduce and make a deal with Sam.
I guess that was enough to get Castiel in trouble with the angel powers that be. But before we get to that, we first saw Cas ...

Right off the bat we were treated to an alternate reality where Dean Smith was a corporate go-getter and Sam Wesson (yes, Smith & Wesson, like the handguns), the computer expert, set up shop in a cubicle. In this world the ghost hunting brothers were merely two strangers who worked for the same company. How would Sam and Dean reconnect? Would they rediscover their Winchester (yes, like the rifle) memories? And why in the world did they have to go through this?

Sex, violence, strippers and one seriously nasty siren all added up to one hell of a Sam-and-Dean smackdown.
"We used to be in this together. We used to have each other's backs."

We finally got a glimpse of Sam and Dean in high school. Dean wore shorts. And we found out what happens when someone calls Sam a freak. Apparently, when he was a teenager, it meant he went medieval on a bully's ass, even if he hadn't exactly gone through that monster growth spurt we know he was about to experience. Don't mess with wee Sammy. That tiny kid was tough.
