The seventh season of “Supernatural” is coming to an end but
the heated argument about how successful the year has been will last until the
Fall. Coming off a season focused on monsters, angels, and Purgatory, season
seven sought to give Sam and Dean Winchester a single group of Big Bads in the
form of the Leviathan. But these aren’t your everyday villains: they’ve
infiltrated the highest positions of power and are gunning for the Winchesters –
who are struggling to find a way to fight back. One of the biggest subplots
this season has focused on isolating the brothers, cutting them off from the
lifelines they’ve relied on for seven years, and this move has gotten the fans up-in-arms
about whether it was the best decision.
But the question lurking in the back of my mind is: in a
show that is - and has always been - about two brothers, does anyone else
matter?
