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.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
