In fact, his demon-osity didn’t seem quite as severe as we’d been led to believe, as Crowley explained that Demon Dean wasn’t simply a meatsuit occupied by a stranger, he was actually Dean, just with the occasional case of black-eyeball. So, instead of some kind of Demon Dean massacre or an unpleasant brother-versus-brother showdown, subversion abounded as we were instead presented with Demon Dean actually seeming happier and more engaged with the world than before. Praising a high-octane monster-murderin’ procedural for its chillness might seem like a dig, but I mean it as a compliment: “Black” was one fun hang.īy now it’s an annual tradition for one or more of the Winchester brothers to get murdered, sacrificed, possessed, or swept to Hell at the end of every season, so “Black” was Supernatural’s acknowledgment that maybe Dean getting turned into a demon in last spring’s finale wasn’t all that interesting as a premise.
In fact, “Black” was downright pleasant and comforting in a way that only a brand this trusted could get away with.
Supernatural season 10 ep 11 series#
Now in its tenth season (the tin anniversary!), the CW’s longest-running hunk procedural Supernatural has fully embraced this reality with its newest season opener, “Black,” which was possibly the least stressful, least apocalyptic series premiere in its history. That’s because, regardless of the premise or plot of any long-running series, they all become essentially hangout shows in the end, our most significant go-to destinations when it’s time to escape. There are presumably people out there with a firmer grasp on the geography of Springfield than of their own neighborhoods, and even more whose memories of their childhood homes have been saved over by memories of the NCIS headquarters. I’m looking forward to that in the episodes to come.If you’re going to watch ten seasons of any television series, you’d better be okay with spending a sizable chunk of your life in that world.
Supernatural season 10 ep 11 how to#
We’re about half way through the season, so I think he’s going to have to find out how to get rid of the mark or tame it in some other way pretty soon. It took Cain hundreds of years to learn how to control the mark, and Dean doesn’t have that kind of time. (By the way, I agree with Dean, egg white omelette = gross). Clearly, all the egg whites in the world can’t tame demonic magic.
It seems like he’s losing the battle, which doesn’t surprise me. Whether or not Dean can learn to control himself remains to be seen. The question is, can he integrate dark Dean into himself (like Charlie) or does he have to destroy himself (like the Wizard of Oz). I think good and bad Charlie were supposed to draw a parallel with the “dark Dean” that Dean is currently wrestling with. She’s one of my favorite characters, and she’s certainly the closest thing they have to family now that Bobby and Kevin are dead. I didn’t really think that Dean was going to kill Charlie permanently (that would be too dark, even for Supernatural), but I was starting to wonder if Castiel was going to have to resurrect her.įortunately, it seems like she’s back in the normal world permanently and is planning to stay in the Winchesters’ lives. I was also seriously worried for Charlie’s life in this episode. It’s a bit scary to know that this Charlie exists within the normal Charlie, but it’s obvious that she is an important part of Charlie’s personality, even if she is normally repressed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that she made her parents’ murderer pay for his crimes, but she didn’t have to kill him! A real punishment would be sending him to prison, where he belongs. I also thought that bad Charlie had better hair and makeup, but she’s also a murderer, so take that with a grain of salt.Īll the same, it was very unsettling to see Charlie torturing people and acting ruthless. I love the idea of good and bad Charlie! It’s so intriguing! Although, I have to say that good Charlie wasn’t all that different from normal Charlie. The stuff with Dean was bad enough, but Charlie (or should I call her Celeste?) really stole the show in this episode. I mean, there was so much DRAMA packed into this episode that it left me almost speechless.
