Really, what is there even to say about this episode? Reviewing eps like this is pointless, probably because “The Chitters” itself was pointless. I get that it was a standalone Monster of the Week episode, but even those have standards. 23 episodes is clearly taking its toll on this team and I cannot think of…
Apologies, but I didn’t get up last week’s TV Fanatic Roundtable. That’s a bonus for this week, because now you can check out two rounds of opinions! First, there’s the roundtable for “Red Meat.” Strangely, the panel was divided. Myself and Nightsky loved the episode, while Sean McKenna and Christine Laskodi of TV…
Mytharc episodes are hard. Not just for the writers, but everyone, all the way down to the fan. There’s a lot to juggle, like tying in new developments with what’s been done in the past. The story must be moved forward in a way that pleases people, but still remains consistent with the 200 plus…
I’ve been reviewing “Supernatural” a long time. I started way back in season three and a few hundred episodes later I’m still looking at each one of these episodes under a microscope. It’s amazing how many of these eps, especially in the hands of lesser writers, become paint by number affairs. Tell a standard MOTW…
Supernatural actor Misha Collins delivered a stunning announcement today regarding Supernatural and its fans. He’s renouncing the show and the fandom! Mr. Collins has chosen the Winchester Family Business exclusively for his statement, mostly out of guilt because he’s met our editor-in-chief, Alice Jester, many times and always forgets her name every time he sees…
Grumpy Old Men…of Letters! We had a blast reviewing “Safe House” in this week’s TV Fanatic Roundtable. Myself, Nightsky, and Christine Laskodi and Sean McKenna from TV Fanatic were all about the goodness of the Bobby and Rufus flashback. Could it make a potential spinoff? We all had varied opinions on that as well as…
There. That’s the show I know and love. I admit that I was less enthused coming back from the month long break. Episodes 11-15 were lackluster at best (minus the brilliant “The Vessel”). I also knew that the show doesn’t like digging to the mytharc until about episode 17 or 18, so we were…

You might have noticed a slight change with articles on The Winchester Family Business today. We made the official cut over to the DISQUS commenting system! This was a change that I warned about off and on for the last few months, and it’s finally here! Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer,…
Let’s get ready to rumble! While I’d like to think that this week’s TV Fanatic Roundtable played out like a brutal wrestling match, I think we were all pretty much in agreement about the episode. Myself, Nightsky, and Christine Laskodi and Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic all talked about whether we were wrestling fans or…
Yesterday, SPN Producer Jim Michaels tweeted some news that threw the fandom for a bit of a loop. For the first time ever, a non-showrunner will be writing the season finale. The task this year has been passed onto head writer Andrew Dabb. He will be writing episode 11.23. Why isn’t Jeremy Carver writing the…
