Love, love, love, love! this episode. “Home” is one of my personal favorites; my blue funk, down in the dumps, reaching for pint of Haagen-Dazs and settling in for a long night of comfort episodes. It’s the episode that put season one back on course in a major way. It’s the game changer that helped define the rest…
“Bugs” is quite a monumental episode you know. Even to this day, when we switch off a weak effort like “Fallen Idols” or “Family Remains,” our instant reaction is “Ah well, it wasn’t Bugs.” I’ve said it before and I say it again. Welcome to not only the worst episode of the entire series, but I think they…
Ugh. I remember after watching “Red Sky At Morning” in repeats I did a review claiming it was one of the worst episodes ever. There were only four others worse. Guess what made that exclusive list? Yep, “Hookman.” Granted number one on that list is tomorrow’s episode, but I’m getting ahead of myself. This episode just stinks. Who knew the hookman…
Oh, this one’s a doozy. You’ve got to admit, when trying to pick memorable episodes, “Skin” comes to mind. Upon watching this again, I forgot how much I liked it. It’s not one I watch often. It’s just too gross. However, there are some big bonuses. First, this is one of the best music selections for an episode. Forget how cool “In-Gadda-Da-Vida”…
Here is the CW promo going out congratulating just Supernatural this time for their People’s Choice Award. The lovefest continues! Thanks Lindsay for the link! ETA 1/12 – Another bonus. Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer, web designer, site administrator, marketer, and moderator for The Winchester Family Business. She is…
As I’m sure just about everyone has seen from Michael Ausiello at EW.com, he had a nice conversation with Dawn Ostroff (president of The CW) yesterday at the CW TCA press event. The TCA (Television Critics Association) Winter Tour is a wonderful annual event for the members of that exclusive club to generate some spring buzz…
In going through my News Feeds for the evening look what just came up! An actual promo from The CW congratulating their “award winning” Thursday night lineup. I still can’t pick my jaw up from the floor. Congratulations to both Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries! Both shows are really deserving. Alice JesterAlice Jester is…
It’s interesting how I’ll easily cite the first half of season one as the weakest part of the series yet find two early episodes in a row I adore. Going for creep factor instead of emotional drama of “Phantom Traveler” serves “Blood Mary” very well. As I said in a previous article, I think this is…
I LOVE “Phantom Traveler.” Is it flawless? Of course not. But still, this episode sets so many precedents. First appearance of demons and demonic possession. First appearance of Dean’s homemade EMF reader. First time the boys put on suits to “look the part.” The first time sulfur is found. The first exorcism performed and we learn for the first time how dreamy Sam’s…
Update 1/8 – A few more to share! The end of the year, aka, the slow news cycle. This is when all the media types take their more than extra time to look back at the year that was and come up with their “2009 lists.” TV analysts are particularly prone to this activity, because…
Here I’ve been announcing all the accolades Supernatural has gotten on Year End lists, and the show goes and wins an actual award in this TV and movie awards season. After losing last year, Supernatural has won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show! Wow! This was considered by many to be one of those “snowball’s chance”…
“Dead In The Water” is an “on the fence” episode for me. There is plenty of good, but there is also plenty of bad. This is the debut for the series of Kim Manners as director and Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker as writers. Even though this is the creative team that has taken the show to amazing…
