Review | 7x11 | Adventures In Babysitting

Adventures In Babysitting by Adam Glass may not be as outstanding as the episode that preceded it, but it is a good, solid follow-up to the devastating events in Death’s Door. The overall melancholy tone and thematic direction of the episode fit the brothers’ current emotional situation well, and for once the writers neither wallow in excessive angst nor try to contrast the drama of Death’s Door with (misplaced) humour – and I appreciate that greatly. As usual, Glass’ grip on Sam and Dean’s characterisation is excellent and he hits the right notes with the supporting characters as well, so the episode is definitely a win in my book. ♥
