Supernatural Season 5x01, No Sympathy for the Devil

The season finale of season 4 left us with Sam and Dean in a room with the Devil emerging from hell in the form of this bright light and from our view it looked like their goose was cooked for sure because there was no obvious way out. So me like everyone else I can imaging was expecting some huge fight scene where Sam and Dean Banish the devil back to his hole but that was not the case.


The episode opens with Sam and Dean trapped in the room with this bright light and it looks really dire but then they are suddenly in an aeroplane that looks like it's about to crash, and I'm like WTF, it continues to where they [Sam & Dean] are in a car driving and flicking through radio stations all reporting natural disasters from earthquakes to Tsunamis.

They get to a motel room to regroup and decide to go see the Prophet Chuck, when they get there it looks like a bomb went off and there's blood everywhere but not Chucks, it turns out that the Angel Castiel was killed by the other renegade angel Zachariah and they now want Dean to go with them and do what they want, but as we all know Dean doesn't take kindly to folks trying to screw him over so he uses a trick he learned from Cas to remove the angels from the immediate area to give them a chance to get their bearings together.
All this while an man known to us as Jim is having freaky dreams of crying babies and having visions of his dead wife, his hallucinations are telling him he is special and we discover the devil like other angels we have encountered needs a vessel to effect any impact in out dimension, like other angels he also needs the consent of the Meat suit as Dean calls it, to possess their body and do with it as they will, so the devil is messing with this Jim guy's head to get what it wants.

Chuck the prophet has a vision and since he believes he is being watched by Zachariah delivers it to the boys via his number one fan who is kind of wired but you have to see it to get it, enewaz the message delivered to the boys is that the Michael sword is on earth and they have to find it and use it against the devil, so the boys do some research and Bobby comes to help them, Sam tried to apologize to Bobby for being a dip shit and not listening to his brother, drinking demon blood, going off with that crazy demon bitch Ruby and releasing the devil but Bobby doesn't want to hear any apology and tells Sam to scram and loose his number if they survive this Devil situation. Sam leaves Dean and Bobby in the motel room to continue the research into finding the Michael sword, Dean has a epiphany to the location of the sword and then the strangest thing happens, Bobby attacks Dean, turns out Bobby is been possessed by a demon and has other demon friends looking to stop the brothers, one particular demon in the mix is Meg from way back when, long story short Sam comes back finds Dean in a fight with the demons and tries to help, Bobby tries to stab Dean with the demon killing knife while Dean implores him to fight the possession, Bobby fights with Dean and his possession and eventually stabs himself to kill the demon, Meg flees and they take Bobby to the hospital.

After leaving Bobby in the hospital they go to the storage locker where they think the Michael sword is, they find two dead demons and the renegade angel Zachariah and his crew waiting for them, Zachariah explains that the Michael Sword is not a thing but a who and that who happens to be Dean, Zachariah wants Dean to consent to letting the Archangel Michael possess his body to take down the Devil and of course Dean tells him where to put it, so Zachariah tortures Sam and Dean to make Dean say yes to being possessed. Enter Castiel who is supposed to be dead, he kills Zechariahs' lackeys, Zachariah is so shocked to see him because he killed Cas himself and then Cas asks him " who does he think put Sam and Dean on the aeroplane from the locked room with the devil and who does he think brought him back", Zachariah visible pales, Cas tells him to fix the brothers and get lost which he does, Cas then gives them protection against being detected by any angels including the devil and wishes them Gods speed.


I have awaited for Supernatural season 5 for months now and believe me it's been excruciating, but it's here now and I've seen it and I'm not sure what I expected but I didn't expect this, I thought there would be some big fight and the brothers would vanquish the devil but not so looks like this whole season is going to be about Sam, Dean and the Devil and I must say I'm looking forward to what they have to do to get rid of him.
