Supernatural: Episode 2.20, "What Is and What Should Never Be" Spoilers

buddytv · 05-03-2007, 02:26 AM

Supernatural is coming up on its season finale, which will air in a couple of weeks, but first we have some spoilers for tonight's episode. Before we get to those, however, I think the similarity has to be discussed between the premise of tonight's episode and that of Monday's episode of Heroes. Both give us a speculative glimpse of the future that certainly won't occur for the Supernatural characters, and probably won't occur for the Heroes characters. I'm not insinuating that one of the shows copied the other, just that I find it interesting when TV shows go this route.

You can look at it as a wasted episode, in that it has no ramifications on the actual plot. However, it is kind of cool to see what could have been, had this or that happened. Mostly, it's a good trend, that series are willing to take chances and think outside of the box. Our spoilers are provided by the incredible Isabelle of SpoilerFix.

I'd have to disagree that it has no ramifications on the actual plot. It took Dean through the emotional wringer, and set up issues that will come down hard in the two part finalie. Unlike in some show's "What If" episodes, what Dean experienced -did- happen, and reshaped him accordingly.
