Elle2’s Season 5 Wrap Up
Who hoo! I finally get around to sharing this. All it took was almost two weeks of nonstop demanding family activities, an intense project at work, and more systems problems (Microsoft and Dell are both on my crap list right now) to make me think there was a definite demon plot to prevent this recap…
Remember when the Apocalypse and Lucifer were the biggest issues Sam and Dean had to worry about? Sigh. Good times. Today’s Hiatus Hunting look back is all about one of the greatest Supernatural episodes to date: Swan Song.

A Dean and Castiel Timeline, Part Two Welcome to Part Two of this 3-parter! Following the progression of Dean and Cas’s relationship through S5 was considerably more challenging for me than S4 was, but in my opinion by the end of S5 Dean and Cas had progressed from friendship into a familial bond, enough of…
Time Marches On… With a glass of Bailey’s in one hand and tissues in the other, I sat down to watch the climax of Supernatural’s Wal-Mart apocalypse, the ending of the myth arc, and was engrossed from the first moment. With the music and lyrics of SPN’s theme song (after all who cannot hear ‘Carry On…
It’s almost premiere time, and that means we’re almost done with Carver episodes to review. This is my last review for this series, and I’m ending with the zombie shoot-’em-up “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
Thoughts on “The Devil You Know” Season five of Supernatural has been quite a mixed bag of episodes ranging from the phenomenal to the low-level mediocre and everything in between. For me, The Devil You Know fell about smack dab in the middle of those two, perhaps a little closer to the phenomenal than…
First, I want to let you know if there is a page 2 it comes up blank on my computer.
Secondly, I missed the reports what was revealed at Rising Con that explained what went wrong with Swap Meat.
Elle2 that was a nice read and I do agree 100% with each one of your choices.
Let me just add one more moment:
“The most revolting scene”
When pestilence sneezed on the guy in the store”
LindaH here is the link of the vid for the reveal at the Rising Con http://www.youtube.com/user/SamysWitch#p/u/6/yb2iDt7s7SE
Yirabah, thanks for that link.
Hi Elle2
I loved your picks, I had some to add.
Best returning Character:
I loved seeing Ash again but I also loved Crowley.
Best Castiel Lines:
I also liked in The End when Castiel zaps Dean to him, saving Dean from Zacks wrath ‘We had an appointmentâ€.
Episode that provoked tears so much:
For me it was Abandon all hope and I still haven’t been able to re-watch since it originally aired.
Thanks Elle2 this was fun.
Hi, Linda, Yirabah and Karen,
Linda, first off, I’m so glad Yirabah was quicker to the site than me and provided the link (also, I wouldn’t have been too good at providing the link so double kudos to you Yirabah 🙂
Oh, Yirabah, you are so right about the whole Pestilence scene…yeesh, I couldn’t watch it it was so gross!!! So I hid behind my fingers and peeked…it was still so gross!
Karen, you’re right with your additions…there is something so…Cas about how he saved Dean in The End.
And as for tears…yeah, Swan Song killed me the first go round so I avoided it but with the blessings of a sixth season soon to come and the fun of the speculation of what will be it doesn’t ‘kill’ me like it first did. Abandon All Hope with Ellen and Jo still kills me, I’m better when I watch it in that I’m not wrecked after like I first was but still…and then Ash’s awesome follow up on their death in DSOTM…good stuff.
Glad you had fun and enjoyed the light article.
🙂
YEH!! ASH!!! Caplocks cannot fully express my fangirly joy! 😀 😀 😀
Spit coffee on the keyboard moments … ” They ate my tailor/ Shall I honk?” Plus anything to do with Cas and his mobile 😆
Pestilence = Total yukfest!
You’re all going to hate me for this but I thoroughly enjoyed Abandon All Hope as I’ve been fantasising about a messy death for Jo ever since she first appeared. 😈
Right, off to poison some orphans …
Suze,
you are too funny…what is your poison of choice???
Like Ruby (the 4th season Ruby that is) I was so glad to see her skewered by Dean with Sam giving the able and necessary assist by basically throwing her into the knife…beautiful. DIE DEMON DIE in caplocks barely expressed my joy. Have your enjoyment of Jo’s messy death…Alona served it up beautifully (and believably)
There were so many spit coffee on keyboard moments anything with drunken Cas and cellphone Cas fit those as well as many a Zach comment and Crowley has swiftly moved up the chain with his quick tongue (the one that talks, not the CRD sealing a deal tongue…minds out of the gutters everyone, especially you, Suze, as there have been no zombie ‘gator sightings of late.
Thanks for the comment..glad you had fun with the article.
No. 1 son’s Anchovie Surprise Cookies are fairly lethal, they nearly finished off his Grandma, at any rate …
As for Alona, nothing in life became her so well as the leaving of it … Way to go, girl!
Crowley is a total joy, for both his snark and his snogging of all and sundry. ‘Gator-wise, I’m still ever hopeful … Who knows what delights S6 may bring our way! 😉
The Dabb/Loflin penned episodes used to make me cringe. I couldn’t stand to watch them. But after Dark Side Of The Moon they truly are my heros. That episode was an amazing masterpiece, worthy of whatever awards we can give them for it.
Not only did it have it’s comic spurts and great one-liners – Hey Dean, I Wuv Hugs too 😉 – but it portrayed Heaven as I thought a television series should. It was moving and heartbreaking when it should have been (Dean and Young Sam with the fireworks at the beginning – I could do a whole schpeal on Colin Ford and how anazing that kid is) brings me to tears just thinking about it.
This is the episode that brought us Ash back. If nothing else, this would have done it for me. I have such a crush on that mullet genius I don’t even know where to begin.
And we get to see Zachariah for the worthless, craptastic angel of horror he is.
If the whole next season could be alternately written by Dabb/Loflin and Ben Edlund I’d be pleased.
