Supernatural Recap/Review: Swan Song/Season Finale

(Sorry for the late update but life has been busy)

Wow…What a season finale. People died, people came back, promises were made, and people were broking. I’m going to try to make this review as on point as I can(no promise, major rants on this one).

Kick Ass Montage

Like every Supernatural finale, a great montage was in order and this was no exception. We got a great recap on all the important parts of this season with the Supernatural theme song “Carry On My Wayward Son” playing in the background.

A little history lesson

The episode started a little like a discovery channel documentary on cars, Chuck reads a page out of the Winchester Gospel on the history of the impala. I had to check just to make sure I was watching Supernatural, and when I was sure, I started talking to myself(Oh, something is going to happen to the impala! I know it!) That when on for about the whole episode.

Time to grow up

Dean finally let Sam make his own choise, granted Dean made a promise to Death that he would let Sammy say yes to Lucifer, but we all know that was not going to happen. But Dean realised that it was time to let Sam and himself grow up.

Time For Some Demon Blood

I have one word for this: Gross! I never could get use to Sam drinking  a little demon blood but like 4 or 5 gallons of the stuff… I’m just glad I did not have to see it.

Lucifer’s Mind Game Showdown

I have to say that I kind of knew that Lucifer was in on the whole sent him back to hell plan. I really believe that Lucifer knew this all along and what just play Sam and Dean like chess pieces. But besides that point, I have to say that I was happy when Sam did not stand down and took Lucifer on for the whole battle of the minds(and I knew Sam would lose…What can I say, it makes for good T.V.)

Dean Will Stand By His Brother 

Dean decides that he is going to find his brother and while Bobby and Cas think it’s a bad idea, Dean goes off the battlefield. Now there really is not much to say about this scene, the brothers are always trying to rescue each other, and this time is no different.

Sam and Lucifer Have A Talk

I don’t have words for this scene, it was amazing! Jared blow this out the park! And if you don’t believe me just check out the video.

The Final Showdown: Micheal And Lucifer…And Dean?

Yes after a whole season of talks about the big fight…i’s finally here. And I have to say that the whole speech between Micheal and Lucifer was cool but the best part was Dean riding in play Def Leppard’s Rock Of Age. Now that was pretty bad ass.

The whole Showdown felt rushed to me. There was very little fighting(if you consider Dean being beating into a pulp, fighting) and people were being killed to fast for me but that not important. Cas hits Micheal(who happens to be in Adam’s meat suit…I did wonder what had happen to him)with Holy Fire and make him disappear for a while, which buys Dean about 5 mins to try and talk to his brother. Lucifer was not happy with this and pop Cas like a water balloon(which is the second time this season that has happen to him). After Lucifer deal with Cas, he turns his sights on Dean but Bobby gets in the way, which in turn get his head twisted in that weird demon way. And like I said before Dean gets beating into a pulp and when it looks like this might be the end for Dean, the impala shine some light in Sam’s eyes, which makes all this memories come back and helps him take control of his body.(I knew that the impala was important.) 

Hard To Say Goodbye, So Lets Not

I have to say that at this point in the episode I was crying like a baby and with the last scenes I just got worse. With Sam in control, he take the rings and opens the pit but then Adam comes back and I just have to point this out, Adam did say “Sam,it’s not going to end this way”.I had to bring this up cause I’m going to get into that later. Sam jumps in any way but not before Adam/Micheal try to stop him and ends up going with him in to the pit. Dean is left alone to cry for his brother and the people he lost. But before you think it ends like this, Cas is back with all his angel powers back and he bring Bobby back and fixes Dean up.

Dean leaves Bobby behind, which Chuck is still reading his story and say that Dean and Bobby do not see each other for a long time. I was sad to hear it but it is what it is. Cas goes back to heaven, to take Micheal’s place, without so much as a goodbye to Dean. And Dean keeps a promise he made to his brother, he goes and finds Lisa and he try to live that normal life he secretly wanted.(When Dean holds Lisa and starts to cry, I just lost it). I know that people do not like Lisa but I do and it seem that Dean really like her since Season 3, so people need to chill. At this point I was should it was all over but that’s never the case with Supernatural. It seems that Sam is out the pit and we don’t know whats going to happen next.

So many questions left unanswered. Is Chuck God?(He wrote the end of the story and just disappear), Is Cas really gone and is it for good? Does Bobby come back? Does Dean live the normal life and does he like it? And how is Sam back? And is that really Sam? I guess we just have to wait till next season to find out.

Supernatural’s Mark Pellegrino: Fans Will Be Satisfied with the Finale

 

                                                              

It’s the moment Supernatural fans have been waiting for all season: Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) is about to throw down with pretty much everyone. TVGuide.com caught up with Pellegrino, who says Lucifer is quite the sympathetic character. (Um, what about that whole wanting to destroy all of mankind thing?)  The 45-year-old actor also gave us the details on Lucifer’s journey to the apocalypse as well as the similarities between Lucifer and his character on  Lost, Jacob.

Watch full episodes of Supernatural in our Online Video Guide

TVGuide.com: Everything has been leading up to the showdown between Michael and Lucifer. What has the journey been like for Lucifer?
Mark Pellegrino: It’s been interesting because I go from a broken-hearted, blue-collar guy to a being that is far more powerful than even I thought. I never expected in a million years that Lucifer would be killing off pagan gods like they were nothing. [Laughs] I didn’t know I was that powerful. He’s on a mission, single-mindedly pursuing a goal and perhaps he’ll achieve it.

TVGuide.com: What’s Lucifer’s endgame besides the basic destruction of all mankind?
Pellegrino: I think that’s a pretty big endgame. And it’s the best way to get back at daddy, to destroy the very thing that his father wanted him to sacrifice his life to. I even think that he might want to go as far as destroying God, but that’s quite a tall order.

TVGuide.com: Which character seems more sympathetic to you: Lucifer or Lost‘s Jacob?
Pellegrino: I feel that Lucifer’s character has a pretty sympathetic arc to it. Oddly enough, they’re both characters that are on the outside. I was very shocked to see Jacob as second favorite, constantly grasping for his mother’s love. It’s very similar to Lucifer, but I think Lucifer has a really sad story. I feel a lot of sympathy to Lucifer’s story.

TVGuide.com: They both have unrequited love for their parents.
Pellegrino: That’s exactly it, except one hasn’t lost his innocence and still keeps that love and fire burning, and the other one is utterly and totally vengeful.

Lost‘s Mark Pellegrino: There will be more answers

TVGuide.com: Neither Michael nor Lucifer are actually in the right vessels going into the finale. Will that affect the showdown itself?
Pellegrino: I imagine so. [Laughs] It gets tense.

TVGuide.com: Executive producer Eric Kripke did say that this storyline will end in the finale. Do you think fans will be satisfied by the end of it?
Pellegrino:  I think they will be. There’s a part of me that hopes they’re not so Lucifer can come back. [Laughs] From what I’ve seen, the fans will be satisfied.

Do you think Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) will get through the showdown in one piece?

Jim Beaver Interview(No Spoilers)

  

Supernatural will end its fifth season on May 13 with “Swan Song,” which promises the ultimate showdown between good and evil, with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) surely caught in the middle of it all.  But official word is that a “beloved character” will perish in the hour.  Could that be Castiel (Misha Collins)?  Might it be the brothers’ hot wheels, their 1967 Chevy Impala?  Or maybe it’s Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver), the boys’ ally, father figure and friend, who’s doomed to perish?  During a recent exclusive interview, Beaver — a veteran character actor, playwright, and screenwriter whom audiences will also remember as Ellsworth on Deadwood — slyly refused to tip his hand about Bobby’s fate.

You came on Supernatural near the end of season one.  How surprised — or not — are you that both the show and Bobby have stuck around so long?

I’m not surprised.  Once I figured out what kind of show this was and what kind of heart it had I figured it would run for as long as the people who make it wanted to make it.  So it doesn’t surprise me at all.

Early on, (creator and departing executive producer) Eric Kripke said that he had three years of stories ready to go and that he could imagine the show running for five seasons.  We now know that Supernatural will be back on the CW for a sixth season.  In what ways would you say the show has evolved over the years?

Well, when I first came aboard I didn’t expect to be experiencing the end of the world.  That came as a bit of a surprise.  I guess if anything has been surprising it’s just the scope and ambition of the show.  When I first came on I thought, “Oh, well, it’s another supernatural/adventure show.  There will be creature things and they’ll battle one a week, and that’ll be that.”  But ultimately it’s clear that Eric had a much bigger vision in mind.  To me it’s just been a delight to watch it unfold because every season brings new surprises.  I’m kind of lazy and not necessarily the most creative person in the world, so I don’t think I ever would have come up with some of the stuff that our writers have come up with in terms of that scope, but also the growth and development of the show and characters.  I think it’s one thing to write formulaic episodes where some version of the same thing happens week after week, and it’s quite another thing to write what is essentially a massive novel for television, which is what I think Eric and all of the writers have done.  It’s quite impressive, especially given the state of television these days.

Sam and Dean have been to hell and back, literally.  At this point, what do you see as Bobby’s role in their lives?

I think my role on the show is very much the classic foil, somebody who can both support and counteract the impulses and directions of the main characters.  I have always enjoyed playing that role on this show and other shows.  In some ways it’s less demanding and in some ways it’s more demanding than being the central figure on a show, but often a lot of the color on a show is to be found in the foil, and Bobby is certainly a colorful character.  If nothing else I show up often enough to be intriguing without showing up so often that I’m unwelcome.  It’s a great part.  It’s one of my favorite parts in my whole career.  And I’ve certainly never had this level of fan response, where I know from day to day what people think of me and think of the character.  That’s very rewarding.

Season five is about to end.  You’re of course not going to give us all the scoop, but tease it a little.

To me, great writing and great drama consists of going in very unexpected directions and then having the reader or the audience, in the aftermath, look at it and say, “Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting at all, but that’s exactly where it should have gone.”  I think maybe that’s where we’re going with the show.  I don’t think it will be expected.  I think a lot about the wrap-up of this season will surprise people and at the same time they’ll look back on it and think, “That was inevitable.”

There are all sorts of rumors going around about the fate of certain characters.  Whenever the journey ends for Bobby, whether it’s in “Swan Song” or next season, whether it’s with him dying or the show ending, what do you want/need to know about him to have complete closure on your experience playing the character?

I think that, ultimately, it’s the same question that all people have at the end of their journey, and that is, “Why was I here and what did it mean?”  I suspect that if the show plays out to its natural end that the audience is going to understand what this journey meant both to themselves and the characters.  Not every show gets the opportunity to play out to its natural end.  Having been on Deadwood, I can tell you that (from experience).

Let’s talk about a couple of other things.  Your published a memoir in 2009, Life’s That Way, and that’s out now in paperback.  In it you recount how, in 2003, your daughter Madeline was diagnosed as autistic and how, less than two months after that, your wife, (casting director and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actress) Cecily Adams, was diagnosed with the lung cancer that would claim her life just a few months later.  How cathartic was it for you, writing that first as a series of personal emails to family and friends, and then as a book?

The writing of it was done in real time, as it was all happening, and it was enormously cathartic and helpful to me.  I was initially very reluctant to put it out there for public consumption.  I had a pretty big audience when it was going out every night in emails, but the idea of putting it out as a book was quite daunting because I was not really sure if it wasn’t a little too private.  That sounds a little weird after putting out emails to four or five-thousand people around the world, but it still felt private.  But I heard from so many people that something about the way I opened up had been not just interesting, but also helpful.  I had a lot of encouragement from other people, almost to the extent of browbeating, and I finally realized it was a story I shouldn’t hide under a bushel.  As it turned, the book far, far exceeded my hopes.

A decent chunk of time has passed from when the book was published to now, with the paperback.  What updates, if any, did you add?

I made some adjustments in the epilogue.  Those are intended to catch readers up a little bit on some of the people involved in the story in the period following the year that I wrote about.  I (also) had a few additional people to thank by the time the paperback came around.  But other than that, it’s essentially the same book.

What will you be doing during your off-season?

I’m doing a lot of appearances at Supernatural fan conventions during the spring.  There’s not much time for normal hiatus work on other projects.  I’m literally going around the world in 80 days.  That’s another blessing of doing Supernatural and stepping into Bobby Singer’s shoes.  I’m getting to see some places I’ve never seen before and probably wouldn’t have the chance to see if it wasn’t for the show.  It’s a great gig, man.

‘Supernatural’ looks to Season 6

 

Sam and Dean return to their roots next year

The final battle is about to begin. In one corner, Sam Winchester (Jared Padelecki), a bunch of demons, Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) and the denizens of hell.

In the other, Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), a legion of angels (led by Misha Collins as Castiel) and those up in heaven. At stake? Nothing more than the future of humankind and earth.

So it’s pretty safe to say that the result of Supernatural’s May finale, the aptly titled “Swan Song,” will steer where the series goes in Season 6. After all, the heaven-versus-hell story arc took up almost every episode this year, and it ends tonight.

Some say not a moment too soon. There have been those (me included) who think the war between God and the Devil has been dragged out too long, what with tales of four horsemen, demons aplenty and dozens of irksome angels.

“Our main concern was not to slice the mythology thinner to drag it out any longer than it was designed to,” says Supernatural executive producer Sera Gamble. “That seems like a mean thing to do to viewers in exchange for making you successful and keeping you on the air. We want existing storylines to run their course, and then we figure it’s our job to bring in new stories.”

To that end, Gamble – who cut her TV teeth as a writer finalist in the HBO reality series Project Greenlight 2 – announces that next season deals with life after the Apocalypse. “We will have lots of meat-and-potatoes closed-ended episodes, and we also have a season-long story arc to weave in,” she says.

That’s a great thing, and something Sam alluded to in last week’s episode. “Remember when we just used to fight Wendigoes?” the lanky Winchester lamented to his stocky brother, a nod to Season 1’s first episode.

That return to form is accented by a swap behind the scenes. Creator Eric Kripke is stepping into a consultant’s role, and Gamble is moving into Kripke’s seat as showrunner.

But don’t expect huge changes on-camera. After all, the strength of CW’s hit continues to be the playful banter between Sam and Dean, often played out with classic rock thumping in the background, as they blow ghosts and ghouls to smithereens.“I feel like I helped raise these two little brothers,” Gamble says with pride. “They’ve deepened so much over the years and they continue to evolve.”

 

The banter extends beyond the acting cast, and to the series’ sets. Eagle-eyed fans (again, like me) may have noticed that the hotel rooms the Winchesters frequent are numbered in accordance with what episode it is (Room 100 for Episode 100). Gamble confesses that the production team cooks up the Easter eggs.

“It’s about visually supporting the story being told, often in a sly way that sort of winks at the audience,” she reveals. “Check out the room number on the door in the Casa Erotica tape in ‘Hammer of the Gods.’” (I won’t spoil it for you. Go check it out for yourselves.)

But what Gamble won’t reveal are details regarding the rumour that Bobby (Jim Beaver), who is a father figure to the boys, will meet his demise on Thursday night.

With Bobby’s soul being held for ransom by demon Crowley (Mark Sheppard) to ensure the Winchesters don’t turn on him during the holy war, it seems Bobby will become collateral damage.

“I can’t tell you what happens in the finale,” Gamble teases. “I want you to be surprised.”

The Supernatural season finale airs Thursday, May 13, at 9 p.m. ET on SunTV/CW.
