Season Three Awards
I got super bored at work yesterday and found a fun way to kill time. All it took was flipping through the season three pages at supernaturalwiki.com, and an afternoon of amusement was born. I spent hours fondly recollecting moments from this past season, and somehow ended up taking notes. So, below are my awards…
Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.03 – “I’m No Angel”
The third episode takes the threads of the young season and blends them into a complex and emotional story. On one hand, we have Castiel coping with being rendered human, and on the other we have the brothers dealing with the fall out from the fallen angels while trying to find their former angel friend….
My Supernatural Go-To Episodes by Season, Part 2
Here it is, part two of my list of “Supernatural” go-to episodes. You know, those special episodes in my heart that are always one of the first I watch when I’m pulling out the “Supernatural” DVDs. I’ve forced myself in this exercise to pick just one for each season. That was nearly impossible for the…
WFB Deja Vu Review – Supernatural 9.05 “Dog Dean Afternoon”
“Dog Dean Afternoon” was a light-hearted, funny episode that was a thrill to watch again! Jared and Jensen had to think they were losing their minds when they read the script. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall the first time they discussed it with each other! Can you imagine…
Far Away Eyes’ Review: Supernatural 9.02, “Devil May Care”
The second episode of the ninth season of Supernatural shows us exactly why this show has endured and thrived for this long. Originally, the series was billed in the horror genre—filled with monsters and ghosts and gore galore. The goal was to explore what goes bump in the night and to investigate what frightens us…
Supernatural 9.09: “Holy Terror” – The Good…They Die Young…
*This by no means is a review rather a fangirl putting her feels in print.* There is something odd about how i’ve always watched every new episode of “Supernatural.” After every episode there is the usual excitement, dread, anticipation regarding the next one. These feelings slowly creep out and are replaced by a strange sense…
Alice,
I love you!
By the by, maybe the demon blood introduced early into his system made Sam’s head harder than a normal human’s?
I had the same thought about the demon blood. But on the up side when Sam is knocked out his hair is all fluffy. 😉
Mostly I can agree on your list.
I also really loved the Best teaser. The opening of Captives was awesome because of the camera work and in general because of the bunker.
I wish they would use it more and we could ravel all it secrets slowly.

I agree with you about that last shot of Sam in the library; Serge Ledouceur is Rembrandt with a camera…. the way he pulls your eye around the frame using the light, its absolutely gorgeous like a painting.
How about best lighting design, also in “Do you believe in miracles?” I’m thinking of that orange light that Dean was standing over–It lined his face so beautifully (almost looked like something from a really great graphic novel) and foreshadowed the end of the episode as well.
Awesome choice! You mean this one?

Sam was 11-years-old in the episode, it’s just they cast cast the actors to be two years younger and changed it in post. I have no probably with Sam looking, small. It’s well established that he was a scrawny kid. As for it being OOC for him to be playing with a toy, that has nothing to do with canon on the show, there is nothing to contradict that he did have a toy or two, it’s you interjecting your beliefs for the character.
The thing I love about the shot of Sam alone in the library is that it recalls the shot in season 8 where Sam is writing and Dean is sitting with his feet up drinking whisky in the bunker (http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=File:Bunkerlibrary813_.JPG ([url]”http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=File:Bunkerlibrary813_.JPG”[/url])) – as the wiki summarises it: ‘Dean and Sam are in the Bunker after the hunt, Dean goes to the fridge and gets out a couple of beers, however after Sam tells him that he is filling out one of the MoL files on the hunt, Dean changes his mind and goes for the decanter on the bookcase instead. Dean and Sam sit at the table, both with expensive glasses of scotch, they each tilt their glass at the other. Then Sam goes back to working and Dean sighs contentedly.’
I wonder if that was a deliberate recall?
Yes, Dellamirandola, I think it was. So incredibly sad. Sam memorising better times sitting all alone…
Speking of cinematography there should be an additional reward for unusual and beautiful angles like in the finale when dead Dean is shown with the Blade in his hand, and the hand suddenly looks so small, not the hand of a warrior, but a child, almost. And in Purge lying on the sacks of sweet potatoes Dean looks so funny thanks to the angle of shooting. Hmm, to sum it up, we need more pictures of lying Dean.
Also a recall Dean drinking in the cabin when Sam dies end of season 2. Also a recall of the mean,lean, tunnel vision Sam as seen in Mystery Spot on Wednesday before the trickster takes it back to current day. Sam’s focus will be so narrow that he is apt to make some bad choices. Dean doesn’t want to be found which will frustrate Sam all the more and send him down a dark, dark, road.
The lighting in 10.23 should be recognized.
Camera man Brad needs a shout out!!!
