Featured review
Great episode!
Captives was written by Robert Berens, the same person who wrote the episode Heaven Can't Wait, and since I thoroughly enjoyed Heaven Can't Wait, I had high expectations for this episode, and it did not disappoint.
This episode has a lot going on. In the very beginning of the episode, we have Sam and Dean in the Men of Letters bunker; the lights begin to flicker and cups start exploding, so the boys quickly come to the conclusion that it is haunted. The remainder of their time in the episode is dealing with this ghost. On the other hand, we have Castiel on his own in this episode, who, while confronting an angel, is then approached by a set of new angels that work for Bartholomew.
Thank god we are finally progressing! I have spent the last several episodes frustrated by the lack of development going on both with the story and the characters. We finally have Bartholomew, an angel who is in charge of leading a large faction of angels, appear and confront Castiel. I wasn't sure what to expect of their meeting, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.
Captives ended up being quite an emotional roller-coaster, with some very touching scenes for the brothers and some cool fighting for Castiel. The pacing was very good, nothing felt rushed or horribly drawn out; it was very well written. I definitely think Robert Berens should write more episodes in the future.
8/10
