On Supernatural S14...
So, tonight was the 7th episode of season 14, and I have been meaning to talk about some things that are happening. Some is good, some is bad, but I just feel like expressing a few opinions.Â
One thing I would like to express right away, is that I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's episode, even though some elements I do not agree with, (which I make very clear below) I think the hospital scene was very cute, and I loved the Dean and Jack moments more than anything. I can say that so far, tonight's episode was definitely my favorite.
Ok so first on my mind, I am trying to act calm about this, but I can assure you I am very not.

When Nick was possessed by Lucifer in season 5, (which umm by the way was 9 years ago) Lucifer put him through so much. As we all know, Lucifer was Lucifer and not exactly... safe with his vessel. In my opinion Nick probably died very soon after being possessed. Even though I just recently finished re-watching the show, I cannot remember every detail of what went down with Luciferâs vessel, but I do know that there is no way Nick could have remained intact throughout the years. Not to mention how Crowley literally had to rebuild Luciferâs vessel when it was completely torn apart, AND he had the binding spell cast into the bones which personally I donât believe anyone could live through even IF Nick was somehow still alive after everything else that happened.Â
The only tiny explanation the show has given so far for Nick being alive is that âoh well the archangel blade only kills the angel, not the personâ but as Iâve explained, there is no realistic was Nick was alive after all that time. His soul would have already been in Heaven/Hell for several years.Â
He just simply should not be alive. The reason the writers brought him back I will never understand. At this point they have completely worn out the whole âLuciferâ plot-line and everything that has to do with it.Â
This whole Nick thing a majority of why I haven't quite enjoyed this season a whole lot yet, with the ending of tonightâs episode, comes a whole package of conspiracy theories as to if Lucifer is somehow being summoned back to life again by Nick. I really really do not want Lucifer to come back, its getting redundant at this point, and it just ties to the point in which so many bad things are obviously coming because of Nick. The writers could have easily made other villains and âbad guysâ out of something else, but yet it is all stemming from a character that has zero reason to exist. From the episode tonight it has made it obvious that the whole Nick wanting to find out who killed his family story-line was made just to introduce this big bad demon (or so we can only assume) that is going to be coming in the episodes to come. Idk if I am being over dramatic, but I am not here for this Nick story-line, not since the idea was introduced, not now, not ever.
 Anyways
The whole Nick thing is my main critique of the season, but there are some smaller details.
Iâm still not completely comfortable with the whole idea of au bobby and charlie just being normal side characters now, like.... theyâre not the bobby and charlie we love and it all just feels off to me.Â
Another thing, Jack is obviously still the MOST precious thing ever to be created and does not deserve all that is being thrown at him. Like fine, I understand he lost his grace so he is dying, but it makes me mad. There is already so many struggles in this season so why does Jack dying have to be such a huge deal right now, canât they focus on that later? When other shit is actually in control?? I do not believe they would kill Jack off realistically, but hey we never know. If they do, however, I will protest.
OH AND BTW WHEN CAS REFERS TO JACK AS THE THREE OF THEMâS SONÂ I COULD NOT HANDLE THAT OH MY GOODNESS
back to regular programming
In the episode tonight, for the first time in a few episodes, we see a brief moment of a possible occurrence of Michael. We can assume this because when the archangel grace is being talked about is when deanâs vision first begins to turn all fuzzy, and happens again later in the episode when there is a slight underlying hint of a presence of Michael. And this is yet just another issue that season 14 needs to figure out by the end of the season. I feel like this season is being packed very tightly, with not all necessary things. I am just hoping the writers figure out how to work everything out that ties things together and doesnât leave a bunch of loose ends like what is being done so far.
As I explained in the beginning, this episode is a personal favorite so far because of the heartwarming moments, but many of the last few episodes I have definitely not likes as well. The last episode: âoptimismâ... I did not personally enjoy. While new lore is good and I do approve of, why did it have to be so weird? I know this show gets weird, but the fly people was just a bit too much, at least for me. Itâs not like Iâm saying this season is bad, its just different and I am not used to it yet. I am just waiting for loose ends to be tied up, and for ends to meet.
All in all, with the power struggle in both Heaven and Hell, Jack dying, Nick murdering people, a possible new big bad demon, and Michael, I just honestly hope season 14 is able to get itself under control as a whole.
