Nate’s Episode Review – Supernatural 15.13 “Destiny’s Child”
Well, I knew who wrote this episode without even paying attention to the credits.

The Morning After Now that’s more like it! Supernatural‘s “Destiny’s Child” engaged the imagination. There was mystery, emotion and plot development. Granted, some of the new canon that was introduced to advance our heroes’ plights required a massive suspension of disbelief, but at least the episode mostly made sense and was super fun to watch!…
What a fascinating episode. For me, Supernatural episodes fall into one of the following three categories: 1. Essential to the arc of the season 2. Monster of the week 3. Comedy/One-offs (ala “The French Mistake”) This episode was kind of, sort of, all three mixed up into one. It’s thrown me for a loop a little.
THEN – Baby’s tail lights. Cas confusedly watching porn on TV, while Sam and Dean look at him, mortified. “I learned that from the pizza man.” Cas kisses Meg. Ruby opens the door for Bobby and Dean and asks, “Where’s the pizza?” Dean eats pizza – pizza – pizza. “I’m done.” Jack. Billie. Sam says…
I think this may be Misha’s worst GISHWHES ever. Final Score: ??? I mean how does Lucifer even know that his kid’s blood can be used to bring him back? It’s not like it’s been done before. At least with his stint in the cage, there are some possible explanations on how he…

Why are we getting recycled plot-o-rama that’s once again crushing my hopes of a proper season ender? Especially when there’s only one season left after this? Aww man, this is so not improving my cranky mood. …
Honestly, I loved this episode; we’re in the ramp up to the finale, and stuff always seems to happen around that time, so I expected the episode to be shocking. However, I did not expect the degree to which I was surprised by the episode.
THEN: Jack inhaling grace and saying, “I’m me again.” Anael healing people for money and talking with Lucifer. Nick killing his neighbor, talking with Sam, and Sam saying, “You can burn.” Nick escaping custody and rejecting his wife. Donatello. Jack promising not to use his powers without telling the Winchesters. NOW: A man in a…
The Morning After Asmodeus is dead!! Hallelujah! Charlie is back! Hooray! Gabriel is alive and well again! Outstanding! Supernatural’s “Bring ‘em Back Alive” crammed at least three game changing events into one episode! It was a bit jolting, abruptly closing plot lines I expected would run for at least 2-3 more episodes, but that made…
