(Most of the original article can be found here, minus page 6. The original comments are there, you’ll probably recognize some of the names! I’m reposting here to have a full archive of my Supernatural reviews.) When tragedy strikes, when all is lost and lives are shattered, all that’s left are the pieces and the…
Reviewing “The Magnificent Seven” is weird since I’m going from something unbelievable like the finale last week to this episode, easily one of the worst of the season. Last week I marveled at the awesomeness of the Kripster for his flawless script in “No Rest For The Wicked”, and now I get to ask what…
Reviewing episodes after seeing the rest of the season creates an interesting challenge. I try to judge the episode on its merits alone as if I was watching for the first time, but I can’t avoid recalling post episode subplots that cleanly tie into the one up for review. “The Kids Are Alright” is one of those…
I can’t believe we’re already up to “Bad Day at Black Rock” in the repeats list. It seems like the finale was just yesterday. Oh, it was, because I watched it again for the hundredth time. Is it September yet? No? Okay, I guess I’ll kill time with this review. Be prepared, this is a…
On a personal note, I was able to confirm from Jared Padalecki at the “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Chicago that he does indeed cringe when he sees your name on a script. In his words, he’s either “naked, crying, or naked and crying.” Do you take some twisted pride in that? Jared is hilarious. The…

A seven week hiatus can be rather maddening. Given Supernatural’s explosive season four and the mind boggling material that’s been presented for ten episodes, this time to reflect has left me with more questions than answers. I’m sure I’m not alone. Thankfully, Sera Gamble, Supervising Producer and Writer for Supernatural, an instrumental player in developing the…
The best horror I’ve ever seen were psychological thrillers, where some twisted bastard skillfully freaked me out with mind bending twists as opposed to a hockey mask and a chainsaw. So, I had to admit the idea of Supernatural tackling such a concept in “Dream A Little Dream of Me” was pretty intriguing. How could…
So, yesterday I’m doing the usual rounds, checking out BuddyTV to see if anything is new. I click on a link for an Eric Kripke interview done by CW Connect in the videos section, thinking it was new. I soon discover the interview is from September, right around premiere time. I’m scratching my head, wondering how…
Sorry to leave everyone hanging! As promised, numbers 1-6 of the Top Ten Brotherly Moments. #6 – Sam hugs Dean – “Mystery Spot” There are three brotherly hugs in the series. The first is when Dean hugs Sam after he’s resurrected in “All Hell Breaks Loose Part II”. “Mystery Spot” is the second, and the…
I sat down today all ready to write down my New Year’s resolutions, yet somehow my drifting mind and wandering fingertips came up with a Top Ten Supernatural Brotherly Moments list instead. Maybe because yesterday was our season one episode marathon and I realized all the really cool brotherly stuff was in the other three seasons. Needless to…
