Review for 5x19 'Hammer Of The Gods'

Last week the writers brought the brothers’ reconciliation arc to a preliminary resolution, so it was to be expected that they turn their attention to the apocalypse plotline now. Hammer Of The Gods, by courtesy of Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, is plot plot-driven rather than character centric, which is not exactly my favourite kind of episode, but the story is decent enough and the characterisation for Sam and Dean feels appropriately brotherly, which follows well from Point Of No Return. Compared to the brilliance of the episodes that preceded it, however, Hammer Of The Gods feels like a let down, even if it does have enjoyable qualities.
