Well, that was a bit of a humdinger, wasn’t it? An episode that went deep philosophically yet still had enough to appease the fans, gave the actors something to work with and then ended on a mystery cliffhanger that has since spurned wild speculation among the faithful. So yeah, I would call it a pretty…
(Editor’s Note: I’m going to send apologies up front. I know that many of you come here for Nightsky’s “Threads” on Friday and expect a very upbeat spin on things. Unfortunately, her review must be deferred to next week so you get my two cents first. I don’t like playing the curmudgeon, but “The Spear”…
Well color me surprised…and intrigued. I will admit it, I’m impressed that these first seven episodes have actually done some careful construction when it comes to unfolding the mythology, as well as paying attention to the character details. There’s been a little bit to ponder each week and so far I’m not left with the…

A funny thing happened on the way to the review and it’s all F. Scott Fitzgerald’s fault. That and crappy Ohio weather. Yep, it’s been one of those weeks. Thursday was the first time this season “Supernatural” wasn’t pre-empted by my local CW station by high school football. Since I had to fill in for…
I’m just not sure what it is when they do a “Wayward Sisters” themed episode. The storylines are there, the actors are there, but there’s something that’s not grabbing my attention. This week was especially disappointing. Once again, the episode came with promise and fell with a thud. Don’t get me wrong, “The Scar” wasn’t…
Starting tonight, ”Supernatural” will have a new partner in the CW Thursday night lineup. Here at The Winchester Family Business, we thought it would be fun to get to know “Legacies,” the latest installment in “The Vampire Diaries“ franchise. For those that remember that poignant series finale of “The Vampire Diaries,” the one that…
I struggled with the review this week for two reasons. First, it’s hard to come in and do a review when the ones before mine seemed to nail the intent and deeper elements of the episode very well. Kudos to Nightsky, FarAwayEyes and Nate Winchester for their well done analysis. Second, I’ve been staring at…
So, a funny thing happened as we went through our busy summer. I think it was a mention somewhere on Twitter that it was the ten year anniversary of Castiel’s first appearance. It rang a bell. “Wait a second, I started this site a little before Castiel made his first appearance. Could it be…” So…
Here it is, our #1-5 choices for the Ten Worst Episodes of “Supernatural.” We know you all have been waiting in deep anticipation. All three of you! (I’m joking!). For those that didn’t catch Alice and Nate’s choices for The Ten Worst Episodes, #6-10, they can be found here: Alice and…
So, Alice and Nate got talking and… The question is, why do the worst episodes? In poring through the entire catalog of “Supernatural,” we found it way easier to come up with a worst list than a best one. That and Alice also went through old articles and found her most…
Happy “Supernatural” Day! Yes, thirteen years ago today, September 13, 2005, “Supernatural” premiered on the now defunct WB Network. It remains the ONLY show on the CW from it’s original lineup. “Supernatural” is also still adding to that title of longest-running American live-action fantasy TV series, a feat achieved back in season 11. …
