Since I watched this episode two days ago Bobby’s life has been playing on repeat in the back of my mind. And all I can hear is the ticking of the reaper’s watch as the episode cut to black. I may very well be driven mad by the time the winter hellatus is over. What…
Sera Gamble can write a brilliant episode and she did with this one. Unfortunately, Sera also kills the characters off and she did that here too. There was a movie in 1977 called A Bridge Too Far which was an adaptation of the novel by the same name; it was about a World War II…
No doubt about it, episode ten has historically packed one heck of an emotional punch and this one is not breaking that pattern. Death’s Door was nothing short of perfect. I’ve broken the two coinciding streams of this episode apart and examined them as whole pieces, rather than intercut with one another, so bear with…
“How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters,” shows the latest plans the Leviathans have for human kind. They have designed a sandwich that will infect people, turning them into cattle for the Leviathan to feed. Their boss, Dick Roman, wants nothing to make the papers, but unfortunately it does, creating a problem for their new…
Episode nine, aka the setup episode before the possible maddening, gut-wrenching, “why-oh-why-are-you-torturing-us-silly” mid-season finale. Fine, once in a while we get a midseason finale that leaves us wondering how many wet ones they were tipping, like “Heaven and Hell,” but most leave you wrecked. However, we’re here to focus on the episode before that. Last…
After watching the preview clip for “How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters” I was expecting a monster of the week episode. I thought we were hunting the Jersey Devil! Boy was I wrong. I was not prepared for what turned out to be a whole lot of mytharc development and a shocking cliff hanger. …
This episode had the feel of being handled by a seasoned Supernatural vet – it was dark, the characters were totally on point and the plot rolled forward. This review will be a bit shorter than usual, I think, because this episode felt largely like a vehicle to get to next week which is just…
“Time for a Wedding,” takes the viewer into a proverbial fun house effect. It begins with Dean sitting in a bar, talking to the waitress about the “annual sacred pilgrimage” to Vegas. A text message pulls him away, telling him to put on a suit and meet his brother at a chapel. Upon arrival, the…
After last week’s brotherly blowout and the relatively quick fix that followed I wasn’t totally sure where Time For A Wedding would take us. Would Sam be completely over Dean’s betrayal of his trust? Would Dean open up any more about what’s going on with him? I really wasn’t sure where everything stood. Enter…
When I first saw “Season 7, Time For A Wedding!” I actually liked it. Not love, and it certainly wasn’t the funniest episode I’d seen, but after all the controversy over recent episodes, I was in the mood for something light. It delivered. As you all know, I’ve been a little sour on…
We’ve been long overdue for some laughs in the Supernatural world, and while this episode had some great humour, it also had a good deal of heart. Las Vegas The episode opened with Dean chatting to a waitress in Vegas (who is paying for her education with this job, apparently) who aptly pointed out that…
The Mentalists starts with Sam and Dean separated after the revelation that Dean had killed Amy behind Sam’s back. A week and a half later finds both brothers drawn to Lily Dale, due to the strange murders of mediums. Unlike previous episodes where the brothers are repairing a rift, the tension is an undercurrent through…
