Supernatural turned 100 tonight with this ultra intense episode that also seemed to feature quite a lot of references to certain homo-erotic tendencies the show has from time to time. A couple lines had me laughing just because I know they’ll cause either fits of glee or mountains of uproar. For the most part, though, this episode, appropriately titled “Point of No Return,” was all about the angsty drama-rama, and featured a surprise appearance I had not a clue about until the “THEN” sequence that altogether gives too much away sometimes. Did everyone else know? I’ve been keeping away from spoilers.
Now let’s get this recapping business going, shall we? We begin with Zachariah, drowning his sorrows and lamenting to what will soon be an angel-fried dude named Stewart about all of his years of hard work, all for naught. But then he gets a call from the boss man, and it appears he’s given another chance to set things straight.
Meanwhile, in a heartbreaking scene, Dean is packing up all of his belongings. His leather jacket! The keys to the Impala! His trusty pearl-handled gun! But before he can send that off and go and say yes, Sam shows up to stop him. And herewith begins many of the reverse similarities to the end of last season. Instead of Dean going after Sam, it’s now Sam going after Dean. Tables, they are turning. Dean is ready to put up a fight, but Sam has brought in backup in the form of Castiel, and with that – WHOOSH!
Bobby’s place. Everyone is giving Dean guff about his giving up, but then Cas gets a weirdo headache and does a SOLO WHOOSH off to forest unknown. There, he meets a couple angels he ka-pows, and then pulls something trying to push its way out of the ground. Now, if we hadn’t seen that “THEN” sequence earlier, it might have actually been a surprise as to who it was. But alas, all of the camera angles back at Bobby’s to keep us in suspense were for naught because, HELLO, we just saw that one Adam Milligan (Jake Abel), the Winchesters’ half-brother who was killed back in season four, was going to be in this episode. Obviously, why else feature him in the “THEN?”
Adam comes to, and it turns out the angels have been talking to him in heaven. They’ve told him he’s the vessel for Michael, and he’s going to save the world. Naturally, Sam and Dean are against him doing that. While Sam tells him that they’re finding another way, Dean mostly just doesn’t want him to be the patsy for what’s supposed to be his job. Anyhow, this Adam, very unlike the ghoul version, is rather snippity and actually quite like Dean in many ways. He doesn’t care about Sam and Dean and what they want, because his family was his mom, who the angels have promised him he will be able to see again if he does this.
Sam locks Dean up in the super special panic room (another callback to “When the Levee Breaks”), and they have a rather dispiriting chat where Dean basically says that he doesn’t have any faith that Sam wouldn’t say yes. He’s convinced that one way or another, they’d get him to do it. Sam is, understandably (mean Dean!), upset by this, and leaves Dean locked up in there before he can let the manly tears flow. Shortly after he’s left, Cas comes down to check on Dean, hears some sort of commotion inside, and stupidly opens the door to go check what the deal is. Right into Dean’s trap, you have walked, Cas. Dean does that get-rid-of-angels-quick symbol and escapes. And here I will point out the further reverse similarities to WTLB. When Sam was down there, Cas was the one who let him out, but on purpose. Now he does it again, but his intentions were the opposite!
While Sam freaks out about Dean escaping and goes to I guess look for him, he leaves Bobby to watch after Adam, who I keep wanting to call Jake, because that’s his real name and he looks more like a Jake than an Adam. Digression, sorry. But Adam has a dream conversation with Zachariah, and when Sam gets back, Adam’s plum disappeared. Whoopsie daisies.

Rowena said something in tonight's episode that I feel pretty much sums up my feelings: you're stalling! Or something close to that anyway. Watching this show compared to others like Arrow and The Flash, which go through storylines really quickly,...

After last week’s sort of snoozefest (not to dis on a Bobby episode, but come on), this week really amped things back up! I’d say it ranks pretty high on my favorites-of-this-season list. Could it be because we got to see a bunch of awesome past guest...

Well, I don't know about you, but that episode broke my heart. And has ratcheted right up to my favorite of the season. Thus far, anyway. Though, to be fair, that's not so hard this season, for whatever reason. But! Yes! Loved it. Loved it so...
