Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.09, “The Bad Place”

Wow, I’ve got to admit, that was one of the more surprising rewatches.  I don’t remember a lot about “The Bad Place.”  Perhaps it didn’t stand out because it was the setup to the most disappointing “Wayward Sisters.”  But once I dug in, this episode was actually good.  It gave “Wayward Sisters” all the momentum…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.08 – “The Scorpion and The Frog”

There we go!!  Soooo much better.  When you’re bogged down in the mythos, and it’s early in the season, a light hearted yet engaging action adventure where Sam and Dean get to be heroes for once is exactly what the doctor ordered.  Luckily, writer Meredith Glynn knew exactly what we needed.      “The Scorpion…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.07, “War of the Worlds”

Aw nuts.  I don’t get it.  Where does any writer think, “This season has been very even keeled in it’s storytelling.  Let’s blow it all apart with a kitchen sink episode!  The fans will love it!”  Yeah, right.   I went into “The War of the Worlds” with fresh eyes since I couldn’t remember a…

Kripke you magnificent bastard.  Here’s a fun announcement that came out today.  Both Jared and Misha will be on season five of The Boys, joining Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.   Season five of The Boys was announced as the last, so there was a sense of urgency to find a role for…

Caption This! #412

Welcome to another week of Caption This!  I’ve got to say, Nate gave you all a real good one to work with in the previous game.  Nothing like Dean Winchester the morning after a big bender!  So who won?  The choice was kind of hard.  While I loved Pollyanna’s mention about the difficulties of taking…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.06, “Tombstone” aka Did…Not…Work

Eh, okay.  I’m not sure what they were going for with “Tombstone,” but it didn’t work.  Actually, that will be the mantra for this review.  Did…not…work.  It’s a shame too, since the previous two episodes were so strong and season thirteen was starting to find it’s footing.  Sadly, this one crashed and burned to the…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.05, “Advanced Thanatology”

Before doing my re-watch of “Advanced Thanatology,” I watched “The Big Empty” first (I skipped “Patience” because rereading my scathing review brought back all sorts of memories).  I realized watching both these episodes together are a must.  They pair perfectly in their themes about grief and loss and they’re both written by two junior writers…

It’s the beginning of the week, it must be time for another Caption This! contest.  Nate certainly gave you all a run for your money with last week’s selection.  I think it perplexed most.  The entries were certainly lighter than usual.   While Nate can’t turn down some good toilet humor, I tend to favor…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 13.02 – “The Rising Son”

Well…okay.  Look, for a typical Brad and Eugenie outing, “The Rising Son” could have been bad.  Instead I give it a “borderline mediocre.”  It was not an enthralling outing for sure, but some things did happen to move the story along, so it wasn’t a total waste of my hour.  Some things happened though that…
