I remember when I watched “Sharp Teeth” the first time, I was pretty pissed. They made Garth a werewolf? What the hell were they thinking? Actually, it was an Adam Glass script, so expectations were pretty low, but this felt like one of those “sensationalized” stories that in the end wasn’t really necessary. But watching…
Can you say, “parallels galore”? That’s what “First Born” brings to the table, a twist on an old testament biblical story that always had Sam and Dean in mind when the Supernatural saga unfolded. Sure, Sam and Dean’s story wasn’t quite Cain and Abel, but thanks to the genius of Robbie Thompson, it became that…
I remember going to the theater to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 when it came out. I had read the book and was rather excited to see how it would interpret into a movie. I was a bit skeptical when I heard they broke it into two parts, but there had…
Meh. I know the penultimate of the season is all meant to setup the finale, but I just couldn’t get into “The Insider.” The political messaging is getting too extreme for my liking. Yeah, I get it, extremism is getting to be too much in this country in general and we should take it as…
After the previous bleak darkness, I was hoping that this next episode, “Beware the Jabberwock, My Son,” would deliver something more watchable. Luckily, that did happen and much of it is due to the return of one of my favorites, Stan Edgar. Not that Hughie’s story hurt either. It was quite amazing. Finally after 4…
Anyone remember the time that we got to watch Soldier Boy sing “Rapture” on a perfectly recreated Solid Gold episode? Do you remember laughing your ass off over that, especially those of us old enough to remember Solid Gold? Yeah, good times. What happened to those? Oh man, what a…downer. “Wisdom of the Ages,”…
Ouch. I’m going to rename “We’ll Keep the Red Flag Flying” to “Everyone Had a Bad Day.” Or maybe even better, “Confronting the Past.” As usual, there’s a lot pack into 64 minutes, but this one was a little more scattered and unfocused than the others. Still, there ’s some important moments to note, not…
Walker’s Season Four Episode Thirteen, “See You Sometime,” serves as the series finale. Though it was written as a season finale, it is a wonderful series ender that leaves all our characters in a good place, as they look forward to a promising future. Even if they don’t start out the episode in a good…
What a ride! Kudos to the writers for giving us an episode that functions well both as a season finale, and as it turns out, a series finale. While “See You Sometime” gives us an enticing clue about a problematic new neighbor, all the main threads of the season are tied up, or are at…
Ah, episode two. You know, this is the one where the season premiere lulled us into a false sense of security. Bring out the depravity! Oh, but there is so much more. It’s another packed hour that has us going, “What the Hell did I just watch?” Why not start the episode with some spectacular…
Walker’s twelfth episode of the fourth season, “Letting Go”, finally sees the Jackal apprehended and the main case of the season closed. However, this show isn’t just about the plot, it’s about people. Even with a serial killer, the focus is on the victims and those hurt by the Jackal and how they move forward…
In this week’s Walker episode, “Letting Go”, Cordell survives being drugged and buried alive and plays a key role in stopping the Jackal, but everyone is still mad at him. I realize that the writers didn’t know for sure that the show would be cancelled when they penned these scripts, but there had to be…
