How did the Character 'Jack' bring Supernatural up again?

 


Jack Kline enters the Supernatural show in the 13th season, but his story was designed in the 12th. Jack is a Nephilim, the son of Lucifer, with a human woman, Kelly Kline. 

I will not get to all the details that led to his birth, despite the fact that they created an interesting storyline and yet another challenge for the Winchester brothers and the sweet angel Castiel. I'd instead focus on the character itself, as it was played by Alexander Calvert.

A breath of fresh air

After so many years on air, the show needed something new that would grab the audience's attention again - Sam's six-pack wasn't doing the trick anymore.

So, the best way to develop interest was to create a new character that would be thickening the plot. A new permanent character that would take the spotlight along with Sam and Dean.

Supernatural fans are used to regular characters that don't appear in every episode. For a while, Jack shared a significant amount of screen time with the brothers, which helped create an interest and connection with the character.

New rules… and connections

Despite the fear that Jack would turn out evil, he is a great new asset in the Winchester's fight to save the world. He changes the game for everyone, and he makes us see a different side of Sam and Dean and, especially, of Castiel.

Jack is, after all, quite sweet and innocent. He wants to fit in, as any other person, and the trio guides him and loves him as true parents. 

Alex Calvert showed to be a great actor, and he can make us feel great empathy for him.

Was him a good or bad addition? 

I realized lately that there were different feelings towards Jack among the Supernatural fan zone. I really can't get it. I loved the character, and he definitely shook up the show, which was really needed after so many seasons.

I love his innocence, which provides many lovely and funny scenes. He is the most powerful being on Earth and still a kid in need of guidance and love, and that gives us good entertainment time.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood.
