Alpha and Omega

Welcome to Gank That Drank, where hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate dive into Supernatural episodes with custom drinking games! This week, they tackle Season 11's finale, "Alpha and Omega," where the stakes couldn't be higher as God (Chuck) is dying, and the world faces imminent destruction.

The episode picks up right where the previous one left off: Amara has defeated everyone, Chuck is dying on the floor, and the sun is literally fading away. Our hosts break down how the team scrambles to find a solution by collecting souls to build a bomb powerful enough to destroy Amara, leading Dean to make what appears to be the ultimate sacrifice.

Krissy and Nate discuss the emotional farewells as Dean prepares to be the delivery system for this cosmic bomb, highlighting the touching moment when he hands over the Impala keys to Sam. But in classic Supernatural fashion, the plan goes sideways when Amara instantly detects the bomb. Instead of destruction, the episode culminates in reconciliation between Chuck and Amara, with a shocking final scene revealing Mary Winchester's return.

Episode Highlights

• The drinking game rules included drinking for "milady" mentions, soul references, and Ghostbusters jokes
• Introduction of Lady Toni Bevell and the British Men of Letters storyline
• Chuck and Rowena's amusing parent-like tea conversation
• Dean and Castiel's heartfelt "you're our brother" moment
• Billie the Reaper's cool entrance and soul collection
• The emotional "no chick flick moments" exchange between Sam and Dean
• The cliffhanger ending with Mary Winchester's return and Sam facing Lady Bevell

Our hosts rate this finale as "fine but not spectacular," noting it lacks the emotional punch of previous season finales and relies too heavily on plans that repeatedly fail. They also speculate whether Chuck was manipulating everyone all along, adding another layer to the cosmic drama.

Join Krissy and Nate next episode as they travel back to Season 7 for "Shut Up, Dr. Phil"—and don't forget to catch their live improv shows at the Neighborhood Comedy Theater in downtown Mesa, Arizona!
