I had meant to watch the last 2-3 episodes of S13 to remind me of the latest mess that the Winchesters had landed themselves into. But I forgot to tune in - with the result that by the time E01 of S14 started I was totally clueless about the plot. When I saw the cemetery I recalled that something had triggered open the gates of Hell unleashing the bad souls within into our world. As if we didn’t have enough of them here already. Ugh!
Honestly, I am getting rather sick of these demons with their tongue-twisting names that sound like some expensive medicine. What kind of name is Belphegor? I wonder if the writers conjure these names up out of thin air or if there is any mention of such names in the Christian religious books. Anyways, old Belphegor was just supposed to use Jack’s body as a vessel, right? Guess someone forgot to tell this to the actor because the demon seems to have inherited many of Jack’s mannerisms as well. Those sun-glasses do a nice job of hiding the hideous empty eye-sockets but I don’t know why they are driving me up the wall. I am sure the vampires won’t be happy either – after all it’s their birth-right to wear sun-glasses in broad daylight.
A question - in this day and age of Social Media, is it possible to quarantine a group of people by lying to them? Or was the mobile network knocked out when the Hell opened up? Another question – why was it necessary to show the souls bursting out of hell? It looks as if someone has set off last year’s leftover firecrackers. Hey, if we have believed in shape-shifters and other assorted ghouls for the last 13 seasons, we will believe that the souls are out of Hell when you tell us so. We don’t need any visual indicators. And Hell has two to three Billion souls? Man, that’s one Hell of an over-crowded place then. No pun intended.
Castiel would have been shown the door by now if he were in a corporate setup. He couldn’t even heal Sam. What’s the use of being an angel then, I say. He is in for serious trouble during appraisals for sure. :-)
Who shot at Sam BTW? Oh, right. God did. I don’t seem to recollect why though. And what’s with Chuck anyways? In the last season, He looked as if He had had a bad case of stomach flu. If you don’t want to be around to watch the show, then by all means leave. But there was simply no reason to spoil it for the rest of us. He is behaving exactly like a parent – either it’s my way or the highway. Can someone please tell Him that littering the universe with such messed up worlds is not at all environment-friendly.
All in all, the first episode was a massive disappointment. I am glad this is the last season.
P.S. I seriously hope Michael doesn’t show up before at least half the season is over. He looks and behaves as if he has just stepped out of a movie about a global disaster set off in motion by KGB, CIA, Mossad or one of their kind!
P.P.S. Did Belphegor make a derogatory reference to the Shivlinga while describing his time on earth? Though the word was silenced and also erased out of the subtitles, it wasn’t difficult to guess what it was. Oh well, the series isn’t particularly reverential about any religion, least of all about Christianity. So no offense taken.
