Ahem. So thanks to our reduced Supernatural reviews this season, we should get caught up with Season 9 before we talk about our thoughts on the finale and the season as a whole. When we left off, Sam and Dean were beating themselves up over the death of Kevin while Castiel struggled not to become a leader for the angels again, despite everyone from Metatron on down attempting to convince him that hey, being an angel leader was what he was meant to do. Most importantly, Dean got the First Blade, which can only be wielded if one has the Mark of Cain. Thanks to a roadtrip with Crowley, Dean met the original Cain and got said Mark. Now he’s the only person on Earth who can use the First Blade. What can the First Blade do? It can kill Abaddon (and Crowley, and Metatron). One brief and ill-timed venture to Chicago later, the Winchesters manage to off Abaddon and are all set for their boss fight of the season: Metatron.
All three of the main actors hit the news circuit in the days leading up to the finale, each promising us that this finale would take the Winchesters somewhere they’d never been before. Since Season 9 has been a tired retread of all the Winchesters’ golden oldies, such a promise was nigh on unbelievable. It’s like a third-rate boyfriend promising you that not only would he remember your anniversary, he would do something so incredible you’d marry him right then and there. Is that something Supernatural‘s even capable of? I’m gonna say no, but let’s hold the verdict until after the jump.
