Supernatural‘s season 11 finale was titled “Alpha and Omega”, loosely translated as the beginning and the end, or the first and the last. There are many possible applications of that title for the seaon’s mythological arc, starting with God and his sister as the beginning of creation and the possible end of creation. One could…
Like many of you, I typically have a very emotional reaction to Supernatural’s season finales. I’m left reeling from the dramatic cliff-hanger drama that is designed to break fans’ hearts, hurting for Sam, Dean, Castiel, or all three at once. Add to that the morning-after let down, when the excitement is over, the adrenaline is…
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been contemplating three completely different approaches to my review of Supernatural’s 11th season pre-finale episode, “We Happy Few”. The obvious choice is to impartially analyze the dialog and plot because there were several important revelations in this episode. I’d like to do those justice, so I’ll get to those…
Call me a happy fan. I loved “All in the Family”. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire hour. At the half way point, I realized my hand had been over my mouth in the “Oh My Chuck, I can’t breathe!” position for I don’t know how long. I didn’t go…
There is so much about “Don’t Call Me Shurley” that I want to discuss. Emotion. Supernatural legacy. Acting. Beloved Characters. Shock. Meta. Storyline. I am overwhelmed. That by itself speaks to the quality and intensity of the script and delivery of this episode. This may turn out to be the longest reflection I have ever…
Supernatural returned from another three week break with a simple hunting story, “The Chitters”. Admittedly, this episode was slow-paced, but that isn’t bad once in a while. I enjoyed meeting two new hunters who were given enough back story to make them interesting and believable. The show’s hour didn’t race by, leaving me emotionally shell-shocked…
I had the pleasure of spending yesterday afternoon with Felicia Day – actress, author and self-proclaimed geek. Well, to be more precise, I spent the afternoon talking with fellow fans while waiting to meet Felicia. Felicia is visiting book stores across the States promoting the paperback release of her book, You’re Never Weird on the…
What do you want to see happen in S11? That question was asked of me and Alice in the TV Fanatic Roundtable for “Beyond the Mat”. Before Supernatural begins the final sequence of eight episodes that will hurdle us all toward whatever heart stopping, cliff-hanger disaster the Winchester brothers must endure this year, this question…
I am not a professional wrestling fan, and that is being generous. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), Live Tweet Moderator, reviewer and feature writer for The Winchester Family Business.

“The Vessel” was a powerful, suspenseful story that dramatically advanced the season’s battles against Amara and Lucifer. Its impact on the season, and in fact, Supernatural canon, was completely unexpected. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), Live Tweet Moderator, reviewer and feature writer for The Winchester Family Business. Before joining the Supernatural…
I really enjoyed “Love Hurts”! In fact, it was another season 11 episode that actually scared me so much I had to close my eyes! The dead husband knocking on the door, the panic, the footfalls on the bare floor, feet shuffling as attackers approached and victims retreated – phenomenal directing by Phil Sgriccia! Nightsky…
Episode 12 crossed the mid-season point in season 11’s 23 episode series. Curiously named “Don’t You Forget About Me”, I have to wonder what else in season 11 are we being told not to forget? So after a quick review of this stand-alone story, let’s revisit some of the season’s earlier threads to see if…
