Dear Jeremy, I am confused. It is only 2 days until Supernatural’s Season 8 finale airs in the U.S., but with so many plots and sub-plots still fluidly intertwining, I have no idea where this story is headed! I have totally given up on speculating, predicting or theorizing what is happening this season! I am…
“What’s the line? “Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” Well I think, the people you save, they’re how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you’ve caused… The one thing that allows you to sleep at night – the one thing is knowing these folks are out there….
Whenever we get down to the last set of episodes for a season, expectations are extremely high. We want something that thrills us, excites us, makes us laugh, cry, gives us some extraordinary canon to debate, shocks us to the core, but overall delivers something that we enjoy. I can honestly say, after two watches,…
One week to go, people. How’d that happen? The last 2 weeks have got us fully locked and loaded for heaven knows what, because seriously, I have no idea where this is all going! This week’s “Clip Show” took us on a crazy ride, one that raised plenty of questions and filled me with both…
As penultimate (see Sam, people do say it) episodes go, this set a number of balls in motion for the finale and what will be most interesting to see is not only how the plots are wrapped up (for the ones that are) but how they end up coming together when they do. “Clip Show”…
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, after a fantastic chat with fellow WFB author Bookdal, we have come up with an extra-special Theory about the entirety of Season 8. We think we’ve found a way to explain all manner of inconsistencies and strangeness that’s been happening this season. Not only that, but our theory even redeems Sam’s…
8.21 The Great Escapist: When You Create Stories, You Become Gods We can all be gods. Our minds write our own stories; Angels, demons, men. Commentary and Meta Analysis Ben Edlund never disappoints! This episode was chock-full of information advancing and reinforcing the overall mytharc of the series. I suspect I’ll be doing…
SPOILER ALERT: I loved this episode. Supernatural has really been bringing it the past few weeks and I am loving every second. We are one episode away from a long hiatus and there is still so much that needs to be resolved! As is typical at about this time every season, I feel like my…
(Photos by Alice Jester) With Jensen coming to New Jersey this year, I was fortunate enough to attend meet and greets for both him and Jared. I decided to write about them in one article, because with Creation Entertainment’s new rules, both of these accounts will be shorter than detailed reports would have been. So,…
Warning!!! If you haven’t seen “Clip Show,” read no further. There will be extensive talk about the episode, so you will be spoiled if you read this without watching the episode first. If you’ve seen it, come on in and talk about it with me!
Metafiction. This seems to be Supernatural’s wheelhouse, especially in its own mythology episodes, and “The Great Escapist” is no different. The show often refers to its own skeleton, its existence as story, and that we are indeed watching a show—all the while keeping us engaged and moved by the story transpiring in front of us….
Well, it’s the penultimate episode…YES SAM (or Mr Edlund) PENULTIMATE! Last week, Ben pretty much got our ducks in a row and now we stand on the precipice of WHO KNOWS WHAT! I admit, I’m frighten-excited-sad-apprehensive-optimistic-FULL OF DREAD-really really excited. Ok let’s preview this sucker.
