Review for 5x21 'Two Minutes To Midnight'

Sera Gamble’s Two Minutes To Midnight is a fast paced episode that covers a lot of ground, plot-wise, which makes it entertaining to watch. However, the fact that it covers a lot of ground also results in the fact that a good part of the plot feels rushed. There simply wasn’t enough time to tap the full potential of all the storylines featured in the episode and I find that regrettable. In the end though my feelings towards Two Minutes To Midnight are as usual defined by the state of the brotherly relationship and on that front I don't have any complaints. Not to mention that the brilliant introduction of Death makes the episode worthwhile in any case. So, overall I enjoyed the episode, even though I think it would have worked better as a two-parter.

Okay, so obviously my review for Swan Song will no be finished any time soon. I have a rather intimidating amount of notes on the episode and I definitely plan on writing them up at some point – not least because Swan Song is one of my favourite S5 episodes – I just don’t know when I will find the time to do it. I am not even sure I’ll find the time to keep up my reviews for S6, even if only in less extensive versions. I’ll try, of course, but I can’t promise anything. Here’s to an awesome 6th season of Supernatural. :)
