“This ends one way for us Dean. It ends Bloody…It ends bad.” Huh, go figure. While I was engrossed with the whole hour of “Breakdown” and happy that I got a watchable episode of “Supernatural” (first in a few months anyway), it’s that closing scene that still rings in my mind. I just…
I remember very well my reaction the last time we were in this situation in season nine, aka the other back door pilot for “Supernatural.” After much promotion and anticipation, I sat through one excruciating hour of “Bloodlines,” stunned beyond belief that anyone thought that horrible drivel and total insult to any television viewer was…
“Supernatural” is back, but something is different. You got it, it’s a very special back door Pilot episode! There’s only been one of these before and…well…that didn’t go so good. So, how did tonight’s story fare? There’s a lot to cover and discuss so let’s get into it. Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder,…
The CW midseason returns this week and it comes with the premiere of a new series, DC’s “Black Lightning.” DC? Another superhero show you say? Yes, but this one doesn’t exist in Arrowverse, despite being developed by the same Executive Producer Greg Berlanti. It also features a popular African American hero from the comics, giving…

Everyone once in a while, we like to check out other CW shows. Primarily, the superhero shows. Believe if or not, “Supernatural” isn’t the only show on the network! Nate and Alice especially watch “Arrow” (okay, maybe just Alice), “The Flash,” “Supergirl,” (okay, maybe just Nate) and “Legends of Tomorrow.” So what happens when we…
It’s the day after Thanksgiving, aka “Black Friday” to the whole world. That can only mean one thing…SHOPPING! Each year there are more and more riches in terms of Merchandise, Books, and DVDs for the “Supernatural” fan and this year is no exception. The riches are vast. For the past couple of years we…

When I started the Winchester Family Business in October 2008, it had come to be because I suddenly decided to build a website after losing my job. I built the site on a basic stock blogging template from a low cost hosting provider. The site was blue and white and had no images, graphics,…
Tonight’s episode is all about Death! Fun times. Even Death and Death’s death is the “Then” segment. Since we can’t keep Death waiting, let’s get right to the recap. Colorado. Two teenagers approach a house in the woods with a camcorder. There’s a sign for an abandoned mental health facility. It looks like…
Oh damn show, you got me this time. My usual tough exterior crumpled like a Kleenex after that beautiful act of catharsis. You know, that really should have been the name of this episode. There was quite a bit of emotional release in the end on both sides of the screen. This week’s…
“Your gift, you try to force it down to make yourself happy, you’ll only make yourself miserable.” The story sounds familiar doesn’t it? “Supernatural” going into the thematic vaults to tackle the whole “accepting who you are and the gifts you have been given despite the side effects” storyline. Will pursuing those gifts make…
