Review for 5x06 'I Believe The Children Are Our Future'

Sorry this review comes out so very late, but given that we have no new episode this week, I thought I might as well lift the pressure to have the review finished within the weekend and give myself a bit of breathing space. But better late than never, right? ;)

The latest instalment in S5, I Believe The Children Are Our Future by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, left me with pretty mixed feelings. On the one hand its main plotline had a strong and interesting parallel to the Winchesters in general, and Sam in particular, which positively deepened Sam’s S5 characterisation, but on the other hand the tone and character work of the first half of the episode didn’t work at all for me. Unfortunately the uneven script negatively impacted the excellent premise of the story to a point where my enjoyment of the episode was outweighed by my frustration with it, and I really regret that.

( I have to believe someone can make the right choice. )
