Supernatural -- "Blood Brother" -- 10/31/12

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Synopsis:

Spoiler:
After Benny (Ty Olsson) gets brutally beat up by some vampires, he calls Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help. Dean abruptly packs up and tells a confused Sam (Jared Padalecki) that he's taking a "personal day." Benny confesses that he's going after his Maker (guest star Patrick Stafford) so Dean offers to help, flashing back on the many times Benny helped him and Castiel (Misha Collins) in Purgatory. Meanwhile, Sam (Jared Padalecki) uses his solo time to reflect on the life he left behind with Amelia (guest star Liane Balaban). However, when things go bad for Dean and Benny, Dean calls Sam for help, which makes everything very complicated. Guy Bee directed the episode written by Ben Edlund (#805).


Episode 5 of 22

I guess this is how they are going to include Castiel in this season's storyline, showing a bit of footage here and there from the time in Purgatory. Benny is an okay character and a needed change in direction, as the brothers have never really had a friend that was a monster before. I guess he's the replacement for Bobby and eventually Sam, if Sam decides to settle down.

I still think they missed an opportunity with the Levithan for the Winchesters to basically gather up a monster dirty dozen to fight them, so Benny seems kind of a step in that direction, which I like.

I actually really enjoyed this episode. I'd sign on for a Benny the Vampirate series. Better than the brother melodrama we've had the last few seasons, anyway.

A good episode, and a much needed one coming from last week's not so good one.

Actually enjoyed this episode as well. But of course, one nitpick. When they were discussing how they would be able to escape Purgatory, i.e. Benny used to be human, Dean still is, wouldn't Castiel be able to escape also since he is an Angel in a HUMAN body? Or am I making too much of it?

Very enjoyable episode, especially because I could fast-forward through all of Sam's boring bullshit flashbacks and he wasn't featured in much of the rest of the show.

This was probably the best episode this season thus far, which sadly isn't saying much.
