RIP, Rufus.
This week I have a treat for you. We have a mini-hellatus and I have fallen behind with the fan video of the week articles, so instead of one video this week, I have for you a video and commentary for all the episodes I have missed this season! There will also be few surprises…
“All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.” ― Walt Disney I couldn’t wait to dive into this article. First, I knew that the fan videos would be different and fun this time. Second, it is always nice to show some new sides…
The Boys Are Back in Town (Probably Time To Flee) EPISODE SIXTEEN: Exciting, dramatic, sad or funny – episode sixteen has been everything over the years. And while it marks the two-thirds way through the season and has certainly served up some phenomenal and memorable episodes, it hasn’t been a particularly key episode in the…
The Boys Are Back in Town (Probably Time To Flee) EPISODE ELEVEN: You know what? Episode eleven is pretty depressing. Not all of them – but most of them – end on a sad realization, a secret, dejected introspection or unfortunate declaration from our main characters. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
“The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection” ― Thomas Paine Round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows! Sam and Lucifer have played quite the cat and mouse game for many years. You could say Lucifer is Sam’s ultimate nemesis. In reflection of this and…
This was a mixed bag of emotions and events leaving “The British Invasion” to rank somewhere in the middle as an episode. While there were some interesting new pieces of information and scenes about characters including the BMoL, and some fine humour from Lucifer, a collection of, well, near-ridiculousness (unintended, presumably) were a bit too much in…
1.16 – Oh, John.
2.16 – Oh, strange ghost whose name I can’t remember. Molly! Oh, Molly.
3.16 – Oh, Dean.
4.16 – Oh, Dean.
5.16 – Oh, Dean (I’m sensing a common theme here)
6.16 – Oh, Rufus.
Wow, all the 16’s have been real tearjerkers and, for the most part, full of loss. John gone again, Dean gone, Dean’s faith gone, Dean’s hope gone, Rufus gone. Even the way Molly went out left me with a bit of a pang.
Best out of that bunch, ummmmm ‘On the Head of a Pin’. Yeah, it was great to see John (and the ensuing hugs) in 1.16 and the brutality of Dean’s death in 3.16 (obviously that wasn’t ‘great’ but you know what I mean). I wasn’t overly keen on 5.16 but I liked 6.16. 4.16 though, that episode was a shocker from start to finish.
Thanks Elle.
Ahh…Shadow. My all time favourite episode of Supernatural. Daddy Winchester! Meg! So much angst! The boys’ reunion with their dad and then the all too soon parting ripped my heart to shreds. When John hugged Dean I was silently yelling HUG SAM! HUG SAMMY TOO!!! at my telly. And then he did. And Sam was all teary, Dean was all teary, John was all teary and I was just a teary, happy mess. 😆 And then John left and I was an unhappy teary mess. Sam unwilling to let his dad go, then him staring after his dad’s truck, Dean so quiet, resigned and sad…ack…my poor broken heart. Ahem, I’ll shut up now. In short, I love every single second of this episode.
2.16 – Haven’t re-watchd this in ages but I remember liking this episode a lot.
3.16 – Oh God. This episode was painful. I loved it but, oh, it hurt so much. Sam’s tears. Dean’s demise. ‘Remember what Dad taught you….remember what I taught you’. ‘Bon Jovi rocks…on occasion’. Fabulous. In an agonizingly painful way.
4.16 – I wasn’t so fussed on 4.16 ( not a fan of the angels/angel storylines) although my heart ached for Dean and I loved Sam’s ‘Miracle! NOW!’
5.16 – I didn’t like this episode.
6.16 – I enjoyed this one a lot although I wish they hadn’t killed off Rufus. 🙁
Thanks Elle.
Elle, does episode 16 mean ‘grab the tissues’?
Damn, we lost Dean, the amulet, and Rufus. 🙁
I didn’t like ‘Roadkill’.
Anyway, that brings us to the end of season three.
Damn.
Shadow: Loved it. Meg was awesome as a big bad, and exceptionally good in this one. Loved the daeva’s — that’s the name, isn’t it?
No Rest for the Wicked: They did it! They actually Dean to Hell, but not before the boys sang Dead or Alive. Awesome. The whole fandom was abuzz all summer.
I loved Roadkill, and I really liked the actress who played Molly. It was the beginning of Dean learning the difference between hunting every monster and hunting evil. And, I like DickDean. Remember, they played Bad Moon Rising in this one, too.
On the Head of a Pin: Powerful, powerful episode.
Dark Side of the Moon: Right at the top of my list.
Death’s Door: RIP Rufus. I’m still ticked off about killing Rufus off. I loved that character. (Yes, I hold grudges.) Not enough Winchesters, but a good episode.
Out with the Old: Doesn’t even begin to compare, IMO.
Hi Elle
Wow! I loved all these episodes.
They all tugged at my heart at some point or another. 😥
