I've pointed a finger at this twice already, and am going to do so every time I see it on screen, because this is a bastardization of Dean's charming, flirty personality and I can't stand it. Gripe #3 - Dean the blue-balled sleazeball How could the murderer be anyone but the character who roamed 16th century Florence, and is given more screen time than the heroes of the show? Sadly they are tedious, have no story (other than lamenting an unrequited love,) and give away the only plot twist that could have saved this episode. This of course would have been slightly all right had the flashbacks been more compelling.

Except this takes us one layer farther from the actual story and plunges us into a setting that suspiciously looks like our butt cheeks hit the remote control by accident. Perhaps they read my complaints about Show, Don't Tell and thought a long-winded, under-cooked flashback sequence would be a brilliant idea. They have a backstory to tell and they'll tell it one way or another. They teach this in creative writing in the 12th grade: Don't front-load your plot with backstory before the audience has a chance to know and give a damn about your characters.īut of course this duo doesn't care.

There's no scenario that justifies showing the audience a flashback about a character they just met in that scene. For a moment I thought a glitch happened and my DVR skipped some scenes. We're barely ten minutes into the episode when we're thrown into a dream-filtered flashback about a woman who's name we don't even know. Gripe #2 - Who changed the channel and why am I watching Da Vinci's Demons? Why reiterate this parody sketch and make the boys look like amnesiacs? Does Sam have to deny the case being a case and be proven wrong every time? Does Dean have to stealth angst and guilt trip him into working it?

The writers aren't developing them any further by repeating the same banter. They eventually take the case because how else can there be an episode? Does this have to be the opening to every MoTW story though? Do we have to sit through it every week? We already know where Dean and Sam stand with regards to the main plot. He is using these cases to forget about the mark and to give his life a purpose. Gripe #1 - Do we have to sit through this every time? Let's get to the gripes because boy oh boy, are they plenty. How else do you explain the existence of a journal that contains the entire backstory of the monster of the week, read by multiple characters in multiple scenes? That's lazy even by current Supernatural standards. The dreadful duo of writers in charge of it may have felt incapable of producing a script for the story they had in mind, so they decided to give the manuscript to the actors and ask them to read from it on camera. This wasn't the worst episode I reviewed - that honor goes to episode 200 - but it did top last week's episode in snooze worthiness. Someone said they felt sorry for those tasked with recapping/reviewing this episode since they themselves almost fell asleep halfway through it. I was browsing the IMDB forum after the episode when a post caught my eye. They make the job of reviewing inane episodes a lot easier. It means the move didn't cost me readers. I was happy to see so many of you show up and comment last week. Hi all, and welcome to the second review posted on a Sunday.
