Wrangling Walker Season Three Episode Nine “Buffering”

Wrangling Walker Season Three Episode Nine “Buffering”

“Buffering” was another good Walker episode, with a solid mix of case story and family. Lots of moving parts! We start out with Trey and Cassie at the taco truck. They banter comfortably, and also discuss relationships. Cassie says she and Kevin are doing well. Trey is worried about Captain James’ anger and his own…

Wrangling Walker Season Three Episode Eight “Cry Uncle”

 After Walker‘s mid-season finale cliffhanger, “Cry Uncle” was a strong follow-up that tied some loose ends, and left us dangling ominously on others! As before, I’ll leave the recap to others and share my impressions. I had very few qualms about this episode, although I do have some unanswered questions and some speculation about things to…

Wrangling Walker Season Three Episode Seven “Just Desserts”

After several tightly-written, crime-focused episodes, we hit the mid-season finale with “Just Desserts”, a messy Thanksgiving family drama. There was a lot to like in this episode, with a focus on connections between people, gratitude, and mending fences. We got a dose of differing traditions, family bonds, and damaging secrets. We also saw what happens…

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 6 “Something There That Wasn’t There Before”

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 6 “Something There That Wasn’t There Before”

“Something There That Wasn’t There Before” was another strong Walker episode, with some interesting sibling tension—and resolution. Plus Supernatural fans got an ‘Easy, Tiger’ call back, as well as Winchester half-brother Jake Abel coming on as Kevin and plenty of sulfur. As usual, I’ll skip the recap and go for the things that stood out…

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 5 “Mum’s the Word”

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 5 “Mum’s the Word”

Walker’s episode “Mum’s the Word” caught us up on family drama before we get the next dose of Ranger issues. That made it full of personal connections without a lot of action. As usual, I’ll leave the recap to others and share my impressions. ‘Overlooked little brothers’ seems to be one of the themes in…

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 4 “Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Me Away”

After the high intensity of the last couple of Walker episodes, “Wild Horses” was a real shift. It reminded me of how Supernatural used to break up the big season arc with a ‘monster of the week’ story that gave us a breather but still had connections to the main story. As usual, I’ll skip…

Wrangling Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Wrangling Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Wow—another episode that knocked it out of the park! Season Three is off to a great start. I loved (almost) everything about this one, especially the clear focus on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the effects of unresolved trauma on family, and the message that ‘it’s okay not to be okay’ and to ask for help….

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On a Rainbow”

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On a Rainbow”

Walker‘s second episode of its third season’s made a strong follow-up to the explosive season opener. Overall, I liked it and thought it kept up the tension and pacing with some nice Supernatural call-backs. Once again, I’m going to skip the recap and share what I liked, with the few questionable details that made me…

Gail’s First Impressions of The Winchesters Pilot

I want to share my thoughts and reactions to The Winchester’s first episode. In a nutshell—I liked it. This isn’t a review or a recap as much as it is my impressions, which were very favorable.
