Review for 5x18 'Point Of No Return'

Sorry, the review for Point Of No Return took a bit longer than I thought it would, but I really didn’t want to rush through it just to make it in time for the new episode. The episode was simply too important for that, and I wanted to do its beauty and depth justice, or well, at least I tried to. I hope you all enjoy it, it’s my longest episode review of the season so far. :) I’ll probably be behind with my reviews for the remainder of the season, just so you know.

Point Of No Return by Jeremy Carver is the logical conclusion to the arc the writers steadily built up over the second half of the season, and it is beautiful to behold. I have been waiting for this episode all season long, as the brotherly relationship finally finds a new footing, after it was in a downward spiral for almost two seasons now. It’s not only all I ever wanted from Sam and Dean’s first steps towards a true reconciliation, but also exceeded my hopes for Sam’s redemption arc. And it all comes in the neat package of the first dramatic highlight of the mytharc, without ever losing sight of the characters. Fantastic! ♥
