The Winchesters: Masters of War (2022)
One of the best episodes yet!
Such an amazing episode! I watched it multiple times just because I kept feeling like I didn't appreciate it enough the first time.
Since this show was announced I've been excited but also nervous (in a good way) to see what they will do with John's past. And my gosh they keep delivering! When the pilot aired and it showed war flashbacks we had a bit of an insight about it -learning later on in a podcast how hard Jensen fought to keep those scenes in the episode because it shows the audience and we need to see also made me excited for future episodes-
The very beginning with Dean's narration already tells us we are in for an interesting ride and holy crap it is a rollercoaster of emotions.
The episode starts with us learning immediately that John's ptsd is very clearly a problem for him but that he is also trying to ignore it however we don't see just how big of a problem it is until later on.
This episode definitely foreshadows the future and i am so excited to see how they tackle that. This is obviously such a different type of John than the fans who watched SPN are familiar with, which makes this story even more heartbreaking because we already know the sad ending that's waiting for us.
Seeing John and Carlos' tackle their own versions of trauma/ptsd while working the case and in such different ways was absolutely amazing but also makes it even more obvious that the difference between John and the rest of the gang is huge. There are so many moments throughout the episode worth writing an entire essay for however the ending is what was the main reason why I actually teared up but also had to rewatch the episode.
We see Mary and Lata deal with their grief in a very lovely way that makes them bond over the person they lost. We also witness Carlos start dealing with certain trauma from his past which is very similar to John's and he also does it in a very healthy way that allows him growth as a person. And then we see John and it is soul crushing. We see him throughout the episode trying very hard to stay in control but often losing himself to his trauma. But at the end of the episode when he is all alone, we see a kid who is being buried by his ptsd/trauma and his way of coping with it is truly heartbreaking. That scene where he is all alone with nobody but his mother after an entire episode of him acting tough is what made me sob my eyes out.
This episode also made it even more obvious to me that 1)this cast is absolutely INSANE with talent! And 2) Jensen/Danneel and Robbie are clearly well aware of what they're doing and how to do it. And it just makes me more excited to see what they have prepared for us!
The Winchesters: You're Lost Little Girl (2022)
Absolutely loved this episode!!!!
What a great episode!! It had certain parallels to spn that if you were an old fan watching you immediately saw them and appreciated them since they were done in a nice subtle way. It was also a pretty creepy type of episode in a good early seasons SPN type of way whoch I absolutely loved! I love that we are slowly learning more about every character's backstory, it makes me love the them even more. I have so many questions and multiple theories about future episodes and episodes like this one make me even more excited for the new one! Also a good bonus is: the soundtrack is amazing and it just keeps getting better every episode! Bottom line is: great episode! Great song choices! Great storyline! Loved the monster of the week so much! Cannot wait for a new episode!
The Winchesters (2022)
Great show, great cast, great story!
Great show overall! I can't wait to see what we find out in future episodes about the story and the monsters and the characters!
You can tell that Jensen, Danneel and Robbie put a lot of thought and care into this show. So that if you are an SPN fan watching it, you definitely (will) enjoy it and feel the nostalgic vibe of early spn seasons and you can recognize Robbie's writing from SPN days. But at the same time if this is your first time watching anything in the SPN universe you will definitely love it probably for similar reasons people loved spn.
The cast is absolutely amazing! Their chemistry is off the charts and it feels as if they've filmed 5 seasons together before this. The filmography is amazing! The writing is great and i can tell it'll just get better.
I absolutely cannot wait to see where this story goes and how it translates later on into what we already know from SPN. Didn't know how this show will work out (even though i was excited for it) and I'm happy to say it completely exceeded my expectations.
You can feel Jensen's (spn) presence in this show. I absolutely love it because you can tell this show is being handled with care for spn fans who have already been around and with care for potential new fans.
Cannot wait for more episodes in the future!
The Winchesters: Teach Your Children Well (2022)
Absolutely love it!!
Great episode! Loved finding out more about the characters and seeing them work together to kill the monster of the week was amazing! It has such an early season supernatural vibe so it feels nostalgic for spn fans but at the same time it's amazing on it's own as well!
I absolutely loved the storyline as well! The writing is absolutely amazing. Even though Robbie only co-wrote this episode you can definitely feel his presence in the writing. Bottom line: amazing cast with great chemistry, great story and I can't wait to see what more we find out in the future episodes.
Already can't wait for next week's episode!
