Hmm, it has been a few years since I’ve done this, hasn’t it? Your very bad admin fell behind a few years in delivering what used to be an annual classic. After all, exploring the mysteries of Sam Winchester’s hair is a very detailed task and not for the faint of heart. I got busy….
The heart wants what the heart wants, no matter what the head says. Yeah, that’s one of the many takeaways I got from this milestone 300th episode, but this one rings most true as I start this review. Just like when Dean had a chance to fix his predicament but got what was in his…
I don’t even need to see the writing credits of an episode. I’m so familiar now with each writer’s quirks, aka “go to” devices. Do they have the ability to put together a fluid script and does substance triumph over stunts? As soon as I saw the graphic and brutal gore in the murders of…
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…
So this happened today… 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 a 30 year IT applications and database expert with a penchant for creative and freelance writing in her spare (ha!!) time. That’s on top of being a…
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…
