Season 14, Episode 19
7/10
A tool gets used
19 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Bambi Boy has been nothing but a naive fool since his introduction and a convenient deus-ex-machina for the writers. As Dean said it in the previous episode, he's simply the boys' "Get Out of Jail Free" card. To see Jack get played so easily by EVERYONE in this episode (angels, Lucifer, even the Winchesters themselves) just underscores how much of a tool he is and always has been. Unfortunately, he is also an extremely powerful tool, which makes for an incredibly dangerous combination. A lot of people were upset when Mary berated him at the end of "Game Night," saying it wasn't fair for her to blame him when she and her family are also killers. However, one major difference was skipped over: Jack killed Nick with a THOUGHT, while regular folk like the Winchesters use weapons. Mary wasn't scolding Jack for the kill, but for the WAY he killed. She didn't get the time to explain it well, but her real problem was Bambi's inability to control his powers (which we had already seen in "Don't Go Into the Woods," where he accidentally stabbed his new friend). The bottom line is Jack is doubly dangerous to everyone, himself included, because of both his powers and his cluelessness, and if he gets put down next episode, I will be fine with that.
