Review | 7x13 | The Slice Girls

I went into The Slice Girls with highly ambivalent feelings and very low expectations, mainly because the plot description read like a bad soap opera script. And the fact that the episode was written by Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming did nothing to alleviate my concerns, since they are not exactly the most experienced or convincing Supernatural writers on the staff. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself actually enjoying the episode. Now, The Slice Girls is not a stellar episode by any means, but it is not a complete failure like Time For A Wedding either. The characterisation for Sam and Dean is very much in keeping with their current desolate situation, and the plot draws interesting parallels to themes and storylines from earlier in the season. Overall the episode is another solid instalment in an (so far) excellent season for me.
