Review for 5x16 'Dark Side Of The Moon'

Dark Side Of The Moon has been the first episode this season that I watched completely unspoiled, so I wasn’t prepared in the slightest for this kind of emotional roller coaster. Admittedly, it is a bittersweet episode with a devastating conclusion, but nevertheless it’s the most powerful and touching episode of the current season for me. It managed to emotionally engage me in a way the show hasn’t in a long time, possibly since S3, in fact. It’s not that we gained a lot of brand-new insights into Sam and Dean, but the way the episode brought the history of these characters back into sharp focus and used it to drive the story forward, reminded me of why I fell in love with this show in the first place. ♥ Kudos to Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin for their excellent script.
