Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful… in theory. In actuality, it tends to be chaotic and stressful, filled with family and extended family drama. “Just Desserts” exemplifies the hectic holiday where not everyone gets what they deserve. In the role of the harried cook, trying his best while everything falls apart, is …
Going to New York Comic Con 2022 (“NYCC”) to see the premiere screening of The Winchesters was a near necessity for me. Once it was announced that the “Pilot” episode would be shown to a ballroom full of people before it premiered on television, I went into full out panic/obsessed mode to get tickets, credentials and…
Big Sky‘s “Duck Hunting” opens exactly where the last episode ended with a wide-eyed Luke being approached in the dark woods by a coldly calm Paige. “Miss me?” she asks. “Paige!” he exclaims, surprised and startled. “You’re OK!” “No thanks to you!” she retorts, arms crossed. Recollecting the last time they were together in the…

After several tightly-written, crime-focused episodes, we hit the mid-season finale with “Just Desserts”, a messy Thanksgiving family drama. There was a lot to like in this episode, with a focus on connections between people, gratitude, and mending fences. We got a dose of differing traditions, family bonds, and damaging secrets. We also saw what happens…
I think I’m going to change the saying from “A for effort” to “optimistic because of effort” to rate The Winchesters 1.05 “Legend of a Mind”. Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the only male writer for The Winchester Family Business.
“The Owl And The Arrow” was a surprisingly fitting name for this week’s episode of Walker: Independence. It was a tense look at Old West justice, period-accurate racism and prejudice, and some unfortunate realities of the world that still haven’t changed. Since the events of this episode are focused around the accusations and proceedings surrounding Francis…
This week’s episode of Walker brought a few characters their “Just Desserts”. Since “Just Desserts” was so focused on the central event of the Walker Family Thanksgiving, I’m going to be covering all the hard-hitting action scene-by-scene. Also, I’m going to be doing things a little differently with this review and tone down on the…
The Morning After I’ve been very excited to dive into the “Threads” of The Winchesters fifth episode “Legend of a Mind”. So many themes of the season became clear, pulling together the strands of stories we had only glimpsed up to this point. Whereas the prior episode “Masters of War” was an emotional story, “Legend…

You know, a typical Thanksgiving dinner for a lot families. Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer, web designer, site administrator, marketer, and…
Final episode before the winter break! So what’s going to happen to take us from the end of this episode into January? Looks like a pretty intense trial coming!

“Something There That Wasn’t There Before” was another strong Walker episode, with some interesting sibling tension—and resolution. Plus Supernatural fans got an ‘Easy, Tiger’ call back, as well as Winchester half-brother Jake Abel coming on as Kevin and plenty of sulfur. As usual, I’ll skip the recap and go for the things that stood out…
