Monster-Slayer: Why Bloodlines Failed Me
Monster-Slayer: Why Bloodlines Failed Me Truth in advertising: I loathed Bloodlines, the failed back door pilot for a potential Supernatural spinoff. I despised it so much that I deleted it from my TiVo DVR the day after it was recorded. I didn’t even erase Man’s Best Friend With Benefits that fast, and I lambasted that…
Nate Winchester’s Remix of Supernatural 9.12 – “Sharp Teeth”
I admit I did something with this episode I don’t normally do. Filled with a lot of possible options for writing this remix, I perused some other reviews for some inspiration. After seeing all the pain and tears floating around the fandom, I hope this little remix helps ease everyone’s pain. Share on FacebookTweetFollow usSave

Flow Like Water – a Reflection on Supernatural’s “Captives”
Usually I would write a “Threads” recap of this week’s episode, “#Thinman”. To be honest, though, I didn’t see many hidden meanings or clues that need to be examined. After watching it, I felt like I was the victim of blunt force trauma from the blatantly obvious parallels made between the Ghostfacers’ team and Sam…

WFB Deja Vu Review: Supernatural 9.17 “Mother’s Little Helper”
It seems to be vacation week at The Winchester Family Business!! Half the writing staff is in or headed to Vancouver for the Supernatural convention that is happening this weekend! The other half is either on vacation or working so hard in order to take a vacation that everyone’s review is comprised of their “Random…
You need another option for several of these categories: “All of the above” :D:D:D
Best guest star was the hardest category for me. How do you not vote for Gabriel, or Kevin, or Jody or…..;)
Buffsgirl, I actually feel the same. If you look at the list. All of them deserve the first spot. Some different reasons than others but still as valid. 😀

Oh,
and speaking of Season 9. This is how trailers should be made. Fits the reward section. 😉

Who needs coffee…just watch the video.
This poll has brought home to me, as if I didn’t realise it already, what slim pickings there were for the good categories and that the bad stuff was like shooting fish in a barrel;
– Best brotherly moment? You picked the ONLY brotherly moments in the [b]entire season[/b] an if you added up the screen time of all of them it wouldn’t add up to more than a minute.
– Best ep? I disliked all of the options you included. In fact the only decent ep in the season that I have any interest in watching again is Bad Boys which wasn’t on your list
– worst end to an ep? Too many to mention. I’d have ticked all of your options and added a few more
– worst ep? Too many to mention again. The angel mytharc was dull. The quality of the MOTW eps was very poor indeed. The brotherly bond was trashed, stomped on and set on fire. Then the ashes were fed to a hellhound. Then the hellhound was stabbed. The pacing and characterisation were awful. The MoC was a decent idea poorly set up, poorly paced and poorly executed. Eg why would Dean accept a deal like that without checking the small print? Very ooc. Plus why did Dean hate Abbadon so much that he’d take on that burden just to kill her? Did he have any reason to believe she’d be a worse ruler of hell than Crowley? He had fewer personal reasons for hating her than he did Crowley who had murdered many of their friends yet he is now an ally? Odd. The Samreel story was nothing more than a stupid device to create unconvincing angst between the brothers. It required both brothers to act ooc – particularly in Sam’s reaction. Sam was NOT suicidal in Sacrifice, yet suddenly we are expected to believe he was? He accepted Dean’s solution no questions asked, then gets angry with him? The words he says to him in The Purge were laughably ooc – except that I love this show too much to find its descent into poor quality funny.
Sigh. I could go on but it makes me too sad. I know this is meant to be a bit of fun, but even thinking about s9 just makes me sad.
