Somehow, the gap between this and the last episode felt simultaneously long and short. Maybe because there has been a lot to process about the show recently or maybe because this season has at times, felt like different seasons meshed together. This episode in particular did not feel gelled with many of the other episodes…
Aren’t I efficient? Here’s my review of the episode from a few weeks ago just in time before the new episode airs tonight. I know I believe in “better late than never” but yes, I dropped the ball. As I said in my explanation about skipping reviews, it all about writing a wrong. This is one…
I have made a mistake. As some, or a few, or several, or none (I really have no idea) may have noticed, I never wrote a review for both “Adventures In Babysitting” and “Time After Time.” While I had given myself a few good reasons for not doing this, it was only this week that…
In “Time After Time,” Sam and Dean are divided by 68 years of time when Dean is transported back to 1944 along with the god they were hunting: Chronos. And yet, the bond Sam and Dean share is showcased beautifully throughout. It’s captured in little moments. As we watch the brothers set up…
“Sweet merciful awesome”. Dean pretty much hit it right on the head with that line. I love me a good filler episode. Especially when they involve Eliot Ness, Back to the Future references and Dean Winchester in a fedora. There may not have been a ton of major plot development in ‘Time After Time’ but…
Warning contains spoilers. Does this mean I’m an Untouchable now? Confession time. I’m a Kevin Costner fan. There. I said it. The reason I’m baring my soul to you is that I share Dean’s passion for the movie The Untouchables. You see there was a period of time there, where every Friday or Saturday…
Through the years, episode twelve has been a mix of okay filler and some truly classic Supernatural installments. This episode falls squarely in the middle for me. I enjoyed most all the elements of this episode and despite its lack of overall season-plot momentum, it kind of worked. There isn’t that much to discuss really,…
Opening with a rock montage recap of the season so far actually had me feeling pretty good about how the first episode back would shake down. All our favourite players were on the board in the recap and reminded us exactly where we left off, as well as the storylines that are still hanging. The…
All hunters in Supernatural have their reasons for why they do it. They all started because a loved one was killed by a supernatural creature””demon, ghost, monster, it matters not. In “Adventures In Babysitting,” we explore this””and see the counter argument for why perhaps one should not. Hunting has high costs. The initial loss…
A special message from Alice: I’m very excited to announce that we have a new member of our writing team! After recommending her reviews for the last few months on our Review Roundups, I asked sweetondean to share her refreshing passion for Supernatural with us here at The Winchester Family Business as a staff writer….
What happened to Dean’s beer? This is the biggest question I took away from this week’s episode. There was a lot going on in this midseason premier and some other important questions were raised, but this is the one that is sticking around and driving me nuts. Sam had a point when he told Dean…
Truth be told, I avoided writing this review for several days. It’s been too tough. There’s so much pain, so much heartbreak, and it’s so hard to see a character I’ve gotten to know and love through these years meet such an end, whether it be final or not. I needed time to grieve, to…
