Review | 7x23 | Survival Of The Fittest

I think there is little doubt that Sera Gamble’s Survival Of The Fittest is the weakest season finale of the show to date, and I am sad to see one of the strongest writers for Supernatural go out in this manner. It is not that the episode is not entertaining; there are moments that moved me, there are moments that made me laugh, there are moments between characters I enjoyed – but none of those moments are actually about Sam and Dean. While I had prepared myself for a 'brothers light' episode these last couple of weeks, I thought that we would at least get something – a moment, a scene between the brothers that carries actual meaning and emotion. Alas, we are denied even that. If it was not for the truly evil – and unexpected – turn of events in the last five minutes, Survival Of The Fittest would have been an entirely unremarkable episode.
