TV Review: Supernatural - "Malleus Maleficarum"

Okay, I’ll admit, I have blind love when it comes to the Metallicar (the popular nickname given to Dean’s prized possession by the fans), but its presence in this episode confirmed what has been said about the car since season one. It’s the one constant in Sam, Dean, and even John’s life since Mary died. It’s more than transportation, it’s the place for heated discussions about family matters, it’s always there for support during the crucial moments of their lives (the fire, Sam and Dean’s discussion about the deal at the end of "All Hell Breaks Loose Part II"), and it plays a critical part in the family business, not only being the keeper of the arsenal but using its incredible grit against all odds in a race to save victims from evil. Without either of the brothers, the Impala feels empty, and Sam and Dean cannot exist without the car either. All they have is each other.

Can anyone picture Supernatural without the Impala? I’ve made a few comments before about how much of a classic car buff I am. My dream is not to meet Jared or Jensen or Kripke or anyone else related to the show. All I want is to spend five minutes in that incredible car. (Yes, I know there’s more than one on the set. I’ll take the pretty one.) Then I’ll have truly died and gone to heaven.

All in all, I give this episode a B+. The first time I saw this I gave it an A-, but then “Mystery Spot” and “Jus in Bello” aired. That’s the fun of recapping reruns, hindsight is allowed. However, I don’t care how great an episode is, for as long as I get my fix of the three prettiest cast members in television today, I’m good.

Hi Alice

I 'heart' you seriously! I am so happy you are writing about my favorite show on TV. The passion I feel for this show holds no bounds. Thank you for including the car in your review. The car is definitely a very important cast member. Several scenes involve the car....when Dean showed Sam how to fix the car at the end of 'Fresh Blood'....when Sam and Dean had a heart to heart at the end of AHBL2...at the end of 'A Supernatural Christmas'...and when Dean broke through the cemetary gates at the end of 'Provenance' just to name a few. BTW - The ending of 'Fresh Blood' and 'AHBL2' devastated me.

I have never had a show get to me like this one does. I analyze it constantly! It makes me laugh, smile, cry and jump. The bond Jared and Jensen have only adds to the authenticity of the show and makes it feel real.

I could go on and on about how much I love this show but works calls.

I look forward to reading more of your reviews.

Joan
