Last summer, I wrote an article titled “Supernatural Season 8 and the Case for Hope.” This essay was a reaction to Season 7 which, for me, told a story that was often devoid of hope and heavy on despair, while simultaneously lacking excitement. In that season, the boys lost Bobby and (temporarily) Castiel, were forced…

Crowley’s leverage … Commentary and Meta Analysis This episode really turned up the pressure on the Winchesters, with Crowley finding the precise psychological lever to pull to hurt the…
