Supernatural: As Time Goes By

As much as I loved last week's episode of Supernatural, I loved this week's even more. One thing about Sup fans is they're vocal, for as many fans that were excited about exploring the Winchester side of the family, there were just as many who were complaining, before the episode even aired! That drives me crazy. I'd rather have a weak ep of Sup then no Winchester boys on my screen and I feel like this season they've really hit it out of the park. I feel like it's been a renaissance.

Supernatural may be all demons, angels and monsters but what it's really about is family so any episode dealing with daddy issues is going to be gold. Especially when it delves into the mythology of the show. Turns out John Winchester was supposed to be a Man of Letters, not a Hunter. Huh? Exactly! The boys have never heard of this either but Grandpa Winchester came forward into the future looking for his son John (who has died) and finds our favorite Hunters (which he likens to apes, LOL) instead.

Henry went to the future and never made it back to his son so John was never introduced to that side of his dad. John came from a family of knowledge, Mary came from a family of hunters, brains and braun,  Cupid had said that they were destined to be together.

I think this new twist adds an exciting element to the future of the series. The boys are going to have access to a vast wealth of knowledge and from what the EP said, it will be their new home base. I can't wait to see the rest of the season.

FYI, Charlie will be back before the end of the season, something else to look forward to.

What did you think of this week's episode? Are you as bummed as I am that Henry is no longer with us? As Dean said, there family tree has a whole lot of dead in it. Heartbreaking!
