Grade C
much better than last week's awful outing with a supernatural couple, this time Sam and Dean find a case where a man dies every day and a powerful being is stalking him.
This was a sort of flashback in style and mood to a Classic Supernatural episode, with a bit of scariness (why I like show)
While being protected by Sam and Dean, the man gets a visit from a beautiful woman in black, who is upset that he doesn't recognize her, and she attacks him, but Prometheus fights her off.
The next day a woman appears on Sam and Dean's doorstep to announce she's looking for 'Shane' aka Prometheus, because when they hooked up and before she ran off the second time he rose from the dead, they had a son (now seven) who has inherited his father's curse. Inexplicably, Sam and Dean take Prometheus, his lover and their child to the Batcave (the Men of Letters bunker) which Dean is proud to show off.
It doesn't take Sam and Dean too long to discover this man who dies every day is the Greek demi-god Prometheus, who brought on the wrath of Zues by giving fire to humans. And as Sam says, he pretty much saved the world, giving humans the ability to fight monsters. The brothers decide to do things tried and true, aka, summon the enemy, trap it, and force it to do what it should (in this case the God Zeus) and break the curse of the little boy.
Once Zeus is summoned, he won't play ball, the woman breaks the circle holding him so that he will save her child, but the god is determined to punish Sam, Dean, Prometheus and his son instead, he calls his daughter Artemis to take care of Sam and Dean. Sam guesses that Artemis was in love with Prometheus and convinces her to defy her father.
Artemis shoots Zeus, but he grabs Prometheus so he is shot by her arrow, but Prometheus, wanting to break the curse on his son, drives the arrow through himself and into Zeus. Prometheus dies at last, Artemis and the body of Zeus dissapear,
At the end, Dean sits in his bedroom in the bunker and prays to Castiel, telling him he knows that the God Trials are hurting Sam, and he asks Castiel to look out for Sammy, asking at last, where the hell is Cas?
While not the most memorable episode, it did do a good job of updating Greek myth, the idea of the Goddess of Hunters being on their side is really cool, btw, I hope she comes back, though it did lead to the death of her lover - oops. And this episode did not go backward in the brother's story, setting us up for the next story - which at last gets back to the mytharc.
While the paralells of monster/human mashups in the standalone eps have varied in success this year (Great Aaron and his Golem) Abysmal (Werewolf Teens and DogGirl and Witchcop) I'm a bit weary of them, and ready for the mytharc, asskicking demons and/or angels.
