Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.21, “King of the Damned”

Here it is, the last review for season nine.  Thank freaking goodness.  To say it was a chore rewatching and writing up reviews for this horrific season would be a massive understatement.  It reminded me of everything I absolutely loathed about this season.  The season where I almost quit watching “Supernatural” for good (multiple friends…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural Episode 9.20, “Bloodlines” aka Why am I Watching This?

Ugh, “Bloodlines.” I never did a review for this though, so I took one for the team and did a rewatch for you. I’ve only seen the episode once since it aired. So, did my perceptions change after seeing it again? Absolutely not. It was every bit the pile of garbage I remember the first…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.19 – “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann”

This is a surprising episode.  We were so dragged down by all the season nine crap at this point that when “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann” came along, I was stunned to see an actual great, emotional story play out, especially with a vampire story.  Where did this come from?  It finally brought some long overdue…

By request, we’re opening a unique discussion page, much like the Supernatural Whenever News Page.  This is for general discussion topics, whatever someone wants to get started.  I noticed a lot of discussions popping up in comments about other TV shows and other off topic tangents.  While fun to read, they don’t really enhance the…

Caption This! 398

It’s your favorite time of week!  I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure what we were getting into when Nate last week picked a Misha caption from Gotham Knights, but hey, you all seemed to meet the challenge!  Picking a winner was not easy this week.  While I loved Cheryl42’s caption of Harvey/Misha offering a young actor…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.17 – “Mother’s Little Helper”

Adam Glass again? I know that my availability was spotty in season nine, but it seems that I had a nasty habit at the time of skipping reviews on his episodes. Maybe because…well…he rarely delivered a winner. So how did I feel about “Mother’s Little Helper?” It was better than most of his episodes, but…

Reviews That I Missed:  Supernatural 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”

I remember when I watched “Sharp Teeth” the first time, I was pretty pissed.  They made Garth a werewolf?  What the hell were they thinking?  Actually, it was an Adam Glass script, so expectations were pretty low, but this felt like one of those “sensationalized” stories that in the end wasn’t really necessary.  But watching…

Hey everyone!  I’m back in the rotation for the Caption This! contest.  With Nate and I tag teaming contests, that gives us the flexibility to run the contest weekly again.   I’m pretty psyched to be doing these again!   Before I go on with our latest installment, we have a winner for last week’s…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.11, “First Born”

Can you say, “parallels galore”?  That’s what “First Born” brings to the table, a twist on an old testament biblical story that always had Sam and Dean in mind when the Supernatural saga unfolded. Sure, Sam and Dean’s story wasn’t quite Cain and Abel, but thanks to the genius of Robbie Thompson, it became that…

The Boys Episode Season Four Finale Recap and Review aka Buckle Up for Phase Two

I remember going to the theater to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 when it came out.  I had read the book and was rather excited to see how it would interpret into a movie.  I was a bit skeptical when I heard they broke it into two parts, but there had…
