Plot That Most Resembles Fan Fiction
“Rock and a Hard Place”
You thought we forgot about this, didn’t you? Sure, we’re a little delayed from years past, but how could we not take time to look back at Season 14? How can we not offer the opportunity to the fans to speak out about what they loved, what they hated, and what they were indifferent to…
The lies get heavier and the commitment to the cover up gets stronger. This episode was a fun and games round trip with a drabble of plot on top to tide us over. As episodes go, it wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t anything major either. Altogether – there isn’t much here to review as…
As expected, Supernatural’s mid-season finale sent emotional shock waves throughout fandom. Plot twists and revelations that have taken days to process. Numbness, disbelief and horror over Kevin’s death. Anger and concern for the desperate situations overtaking Sam and Dean. Relief and celebration yet trepidation for Castiel. Revulsion for Metatron. Confusion, hate and maybe some pity…
“Get a Room!” Supernatural’s Season 9 Motel Rooms By WEDNESDAY Browsing the SupernaturalWiki site, I noticed that the motel room descriptions stopped after Season Eight. The advent of the Bunker seriously negated the necessity for the boys to be on the road and at the mercy of tacky motel rooms. Jerry Wanek, set designers and…
Elle’s Awards Best Inside Joke “Love Hurts” Dean Wins Rock Paper Scissors – this has been a series long thing (obviously) and was funny to watch since Dean finally won, so excited at such he didn’t claim the prize (I believe J&J talk about this in a con video). AND it truly is an inside joke,…
Everyone in “Captives” was held hostage at some point. This took physical form—restraints, holding cells, and locked doors. People were handcuffed or tied. Some were chained. Others were bound to the physical plane while being a spirit. In truth, however, everyone was held captive by the same thing in the end: grief. Each character seemed…
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!!!
