Maureen Ryan at the Chicago Tribune contacted me about something incredible she’s doing with a bunch of TV memorabilia she’s accumulated. On behalf of Watch Us Care For Haiti, she’s put these items up for auction on eBay. This impressive list includes pieces from The Shield, American Idol, Human Target, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dexter, The Simpsons,…
Ah, it must be TV pilot and series renewal negotiation season. That familiar feeling is in the air. The time of year where TV networks start forming their fall schedules, holding the not so secret negotiations in backrooms. The time where bozos with a Droid or iPhone and a Twitter account become eager to start…
(This review was originally published at Blogcritics.org in 2010, but is no longer there. I’m reposting here to preserve my archive of SPN reviews.) So what if you held an apocalypse and only three bratty teenagers came? A major dud, that’s what. So, that brings us to the episode review for “Swap Meat.” The episode…
Okay, when an episode leaves you an utter speechless mess, it works! Thanks to an early critics preview courtesy of Warner Brothers, I just got to see this week’s upcoming episode “The Song Remains The Same.” It’s definitely epic. It pretty much blew apart my afternoon! After a few weeks of “standalones” this one is going to get the…
My apologies, this is about five or six days too late. I hope you don’t mind re-living an episode from over a week ago! At least it’s better than the one we just saw. ——————————————————————- First episode back from the winter hellatus! Winchesters in a mental hospital is certainly an attention getter. Let’s get right to it. Since…
It’s Friday! It’s clip time. What excites me the most is that in one of these clips, there’s a Castiel sighting! Plus, Sam finally gets to do the time travel thing. It’s awesome. There has been an episode title change. Here’s the synposis courtesy of The CW and Warner Brothers: The episode, titled “The Song…
Okay, it’s episode night! Tonight, the body switching tale of “Swap Meat.” Just like everyone else, I’m very very curious how this one is going to go and what the fan reaction will be. So, let’s go into it with a huge open mind and I’m sure there will be plenty to say when its all done! Happy…
Sam Winchester, with totally ripped body, wearing nothing but a skimpy towel? (Drooling, picking jaw up from floor). Uh…ooh…I’m sorry, you wanted something from me? A review? “Hell House,” right? Well, you see, there’s this one scene where Sam comes out of the shower wearing nothing but a skimpy towel! Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer,…
I’m not sure what it is about “Shadow,” but it’s not one of my favorites. After re-watching I figured out why. For a good chunk of the episode, it isn’t thrilling. It’s boring actually. Since the plot isn’t so great, the strengths of the episode easily come from the Winchester family drama. Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder,…
I’ll tell you, when I get my daily news feeds from Variety, it’s once in a blue moon that anything is every mentioned about our show. Not only was there a mention today, it’s a full fledged article! I got goosebumps reading all the love. Source: Variety.com Read the full article at: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118014263.html (There’s a cool…
Ah, “The Benders.” What can you say about this episode? It’s so”¦depraved. For the first time, the MOTW is just one really sick family. John Shiban, complete with X-Files pedigree, wrote this episode, so naturally the comparisons are made to that series’ icky tale of a family gone horribly wrong. This might not be the stomach churning, completely disturbing inbreeding…
(This was originally posted on Blogcritics.org in 2010 but is no longer there. I’m reposting here so I’ll have a proper archive of all my SPN reviews.) On my website, thewinchesterfamilybusiness.com, I’ve been going back and doing mini reviews of Supernatural season one as the episodes air in syndication on TNT. The idea is that…
