A few weeks ago I put out the question, “Is Sam Winchester Really Okay?” along with a little analysis that leaned towards the conclusion that while a lot of evidence isn’t there, he probably is due for an upcoming meltdown. The results were overwhelming, and often explosive. Opinions were quite scattered. So how could I not resist…
The concept of an academy has a long history in Western Civilization, dating all the way back to Plato. You all know Plato, right? For those unfamiliar with the second most important Greek philosopher of all time (Aristotle being the first, naturally – that’s a pun, but ignore my geekiness), then a quick history…
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Ten As witnessed in the most recent episode of Supernatural, episode ten traditionally leaves us feeling emotionally drained and/or shocked and/or grieving; or all of the above. So let’s take a look back at those not-so-fuzzy but pivotal moments from our beloved show: 2005: “Dad?” 2006: “Before Dad…
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…
Fighting That Step into Chaos No, I’m not going to be ok without Bobby. Yes, he has done enough but I don’t care, I need Bobby. This came as a rather surprising revelation. I hadn’t known how much he meant, how much he means. I have been away from fandom for a while….

I’ve been going back through season four recently to improve the Photo Gallery, and it was in going through that season that I realized just how much I sorely miss Misha Collins and the character of Castiel. His demise in episode 7.02 has been a real blow to me personally. So naturally, my heart…
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…
“Death’s Door” Season 7, Episode 10 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel We get a view of the inside of Bobby’s head wound from the inside out, bullet and all. While Sam frantically checks Bobby’s vitals in the back seat, Dean drives as fast as he can. “Is he dead?” demands Dean. “JUST DRIVE, DEAN!” shouts…
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…
