Jack is having issues, Lucifer is himself, Dean says yes to Michael, Lucifer dies, other things happen but whatever.
Now the big bad for next season is Dean as Michael...
S13 review 6.5/10
I did not like the plot of S12, S13 was an improvement but not by much. The tone was similar but somehow worsened, way way more melodrama, slow paced, no horror, no thrill, it felt very empty.
This show has always been funny. S2-6 were filled with multiple comedic gems. But it did not overwhelm the tone of the show, some episodes as standalones had strong comedic tones sure but the overall tone was good. It was still dark and creepy. S12 onwards did pick up the comedy that has been sorely missing in the show but did it in a way that it entered the tone too much. It also doesn't have much crazy going on.
1. Lucifer - Became a comedy figure. I did like him but they completely removed the threat and fear he brought. I did like his character and actually did feel sorry for him. He was better this season than in S12, had more to do.
2. Rowena- My favorite on the show right now. I liked how complex and fun her character is. She had good character development and liked seeing her express her emotions about Crowley and Lucifer. I also like that she's still pretty psycho.
3. Plot holes Why does Michael not kill them in the end? Why does Dean think the deal will take? What's up with the weird grace mythology? Now it regrows? When will Castiel's because dude has been so bland and uncool, basically could not even hear prayers in S12 by show's logic. Also when he got his grace they showed wings but whatever. Maybe only archangel grace grows then.
4. Asmodeus- Worst main demon the show has had if you don't count the Kelly babysitter one. Give this man a most negligent being on the planet award. Managed to lose 3 angels. So power hungry then where the hell was he these last few years? Not scary at all. I did like his look but demons on the show are as dead as Crowley, not scary, move on.
5. Gabriel So did Chuck lie about Gabriel being dead? Is he that bad of a father? Wow. I mean it gets pretty clear that Gabriel didn't die when Lucifer wasn't killed with the sword but why would not the archangels themselves know about this. So his resurrection isn't entirely awful. I didn't care for serious Gabriel. I didn't care for much. And i loved him, loved the trickster. Nostalgia isn't working on me because i saw him 2 months ago when i started watching the show from the start. His origin story was interesting but not entertaining, really felt like i was watching suicide squad with those suits and carrot eating? Seriously. And the whole speech to Lucifer, i didn't agree with it. He killed them off too, innocent people, the redemption arc was too forced with the look how much Gabriel values humanity now.
6. Sam I like Sam. Sam as a person in the show is a good person, mostly neutral and understanding. But he boring. Unless he's going psycho he a bit boring. And Jared really does psycho well so i miss psycho Sam. Anyway i felt this season with Sam was about his past with Lucifer a lot. He was focused on and his feelings were focused on which is great, the show has a problem with not giving Sam proper attention but seems like since S12 is doing it because the writers are really really into talking and feelings (yawn tho, tone it 5 levels down). His relationship with Jack was nice. He bonds with Rowena over their trauma. I like how he relates to Jack, has been called the anti-christ and is so kind that he cares for the spawn of Satan and is able to separate him from the man who has messed him the most. He also searches for Mary which really is logical because they have to assume he is torturing her or something. And this could also be an effect of purgatory and Dean thing. He is there for Dean. He is just incredible but still a tad boring.
7. Dean The first 5 seasons provided character development for Dean but then the writers decided to throw it all in the trash. The pattern is always the same, he has a major loss and is angry about it or he gets betrayed, cue him being mean and crass and having zero respect for anyone's feelings and opinions. Also add him being a bigot towards monsters or be impulsive with who he thinks the monster is. Also add whining about how hunting life sucks. Then finally something good happens and he's all quirky and cute and loves hunting with his brother and bestie. I get it, it must be very hard on the writers when there is no end in sight, it leads to them being forced to keep the character stagnant. But its never addressed in the show since S10. Sam protests sometimes but his opinion is never valued, it only results into Sam having to soothe Dean. Commits suicid* in front of his brother who also just lost his mom and friend, really? He just did this in the last season, all this does is make me not care for the character. When Sam confronts him about his behavior towards Jack i liked what Dean said but then... It becomes about Jack winning Dean over and Sam when clearly can't ensure Dean being decent towards Jack, doesn't do anything about it. This show has a problem with how much it revolves around Dean and his feelings, its okay to have such a character, the problem is the way it is handled. Dean having such feelings is valid, his behavior is what it is, but there being self awareness and giving Sam the spine he had in S9 would be better. Also i don't believe it is ooc but when such a powerful being exists you would think Dean would not be provoking him.
