I thought I’d explore each season in order to help pass Hellatus. I know this has likely been done before but as I explained in “Hellatus Begins” I’m new to the Supernatural realm, so I got some catching up to do. There will be four of these articles and the premise is simple, I’ll give a quick…
Here we are, Hellatus – as BuddyTV has termed the 17 – 20 week period that is now to be endured, or is that enjoyed. We here at the Winchester Family Business have adopted BuddyTV’s ‘Hellatus’ terminology for these next weeks and will be doing all we can to assist everyone [and, of course, ourselves]…
Lucifer Rising What makes a season finale good; is it the questions it answers or the ones it poses, the characters that are killed or the characters that are saved, the hidden agendas revealed or the hints at those that remain hidden, is it the action or is it the tears, is it the realization…
Can’t believe the season is almost over…. What do you hope to see? Not that we aren’t already tied up in knots with the imminent arrival of the season finale – where, oh where did 22 episodes go? I thought I’d start a little dialogue here about what everyone is hoping to see this Thursday…
I loved this episode Sera Gamble you are brilliant Finally, the long-awaited glimpse inside Sam Winchester’s head; it’s a mess in there. We’ve seen glimpses into Dean’s head several times over the seasons: What is and What Should Never Be, Dream a Little Dream of Me and a neat treat last week in The Rapture. That boy’s…
Rapture: spiritual or emotional ecstasy [Webster’s]. The Rapture: the removal of the church ‘“ God’s people ‘“ from the earth prior to the tribulation. I’d say the only rapture we saw in this episode was Jimmy’s rapturous eating after having gone months without food. I’m sure Jensen appreciated not having to do this scene and I…
Jump the Shark Nope, not yet. When a show jumps the shark, they’ve done something that has no meaning or sense in the overall premise of the show; Supernatural has not jumped the shark. Adam may be a third brother that I feared and frankly didn’t really want but I contend his life does nothing to…
My plan had been to write two or three separate “ distinctly separate “ articles; plans change. Paraphrasing something Sera Gamble said in the commentary at the end of “All Hell Breaks Loose I”: When we do something to one character we often show it through the reactions/emotions of the other. Im finding these articles…
Since the next article is hitting some bumpy spots coming together I thought I’d roll this one out as it came to me this evening. I’m taking a break from my next article in the mini series that’s delving into Sam and Dean and issues with their dad – timely I hope with the…
Daddy issues, Sam Winchester style With April 23rd fast approaching [no, really, it is fast] and the much anticipated, somewhat maligned and completely unknown Jump The Shark episode I thought I’d take a look at the changing attitudes of Sam and Dean regarding their father. Today we’ll focus on Sam; the following…
Toreador (World of Darkness) Once again we are given a lesson in why genre shows are the best shows out there; what other show would have the temerity to mock itself and the fandom that supports it while deepening, darkening and propelling the storyline forward, ever forward. “They do know we’re brothers,…
Sometimes it’s difficult to be transparent with the one who knows you and loves you the best; Sam and Dean evidence that. Now, imagine trying to do it with millions who think they know you and openly profess to both love and hate you. Eric Kripke, your willingness to be transparent is why I…
