I always take a cautious approach to any script that has Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner as the writers. My expectations are lower, as are my standards. What you get from these two is fairly basic stuff, and it’s always considered a good outing when they don’t butcher canon into a thousand bits and produce…
Hiatus Hunting – 5.16: Dark Side of the Moon It’s that time of year again – mid-season hiatus. Luckily for you, our lovely readers, that brings another edition of Hiatus Hunting! This week we take a look at the moody, memory-tripping visit to Heaven in Dark Side of the Moon. Even looking back all these…
“A Very Supernatural Christmas” – aka My Favorite Episode (Tied with “Mystery Spot”) If I had to choose, Dean is the character I most enjoy watching on Supernatural; however, in reality, I’m a lot like Sam…probably why I don’t love watching him as much, because sometimes it just hits too close to home.
Before leaving Castiel, Hannah asked a very poignant question: “What of the humans, whose lives we sacrifice in the name of that mission, what of them?” She was discussing the angels and their endless abuses of human kind under the guise of the “mission,” but as we see in “The Things We Left Behind” this…
In the spirit of the holidays, WFB is giving you a great deal! We’ve got not two, not three, but FOUR reviews for the price of one in this Black Friday, “all opinions must go” sale. Actually this being a midseason finale, we thought we’d do a little something different and have a group of…
Reading the reactions to “The Things We Left Behind” has been very interesting. Alice very eloquently presented the reasons why the show completely failed, not only as a mid-season finale, but even as a filler episode in this series. I couldn’t disagree with a single argument she made, yet I also understand the viewpoints of…
This episode certainly bookended itself with intensity. The gooey centre was all about family drama, be it demonic or angelic. I liked this episode for a number of reasons. Though it did lack in a few spots, overall as a mid-season finale it hit all the right marks. Since it left me in an emotionally…
As a long time fan, I just don’t know what to say. I’m usually open to a show re-inventing itself. I’m usually open to the idea of creative license. I’m usually open to pushing character studies over real action (at times). But I absolutely hated “The Things We Left Behind.” As in fire spewing, cursing…
At the end of “Hibbing 911,” Sheriff Hanscum tells Sheriff Mills, “Knowing that these things are out there, makes the world seem — I don’t know, bigger, darker.” In many ways, the world of Supernatural is expanding in season ten. With additions such as Cole and Rowena to Sam calling upon various hunters, the universe…
Another win for Season Ten, and a great one at that. “Hibbing 911” was, as so many episodes have been this season, an exceptional mix of fun and drama. Playing heavily in the humour pool this time through, the episode focused largely on Jodi Mills and Donna Hanscum with their burgeoning friendship more forefront…
I broke my own rule. I read reviews and comments about “Hibbing 911” before “Threads” was completely finished. I just couldn’t help myself. I liked the episode so much that I was curious if the Supernatural family was basking in the rare phenomenon of a universal love fest. What I found was very interesting. The…
Episodes like “Hibbing 911” are hard to look at too critically. The intent is light fun and filler before we get to the meaty stuff and as far as filler goes, I liked it. Once in a while you’ve got to change it up and give the lead characters a rest, and this worked well…
