WINCHESTERMEMORIES: Misty, Water-coloured or Painted by Someone Else? “Remember that time…?” “I can’t recall the specifics…” It’s the experiences we live through that shape the people we become. But the way we remember those events also plays a huge role in the way we define ourselves, and the identity we create. One…
Once upon a time, when this was a much smaller site and I inconceivably had more time in my life, I used to do these things called full length recaps.

As the end of Season 8 of Supernatural rapidly approaches, I find myself eagerly waiting for what lies ahead.

I finally got some time today to read some amazing reports from Vegas Con, not to mention seeing all the pretty pictures. The oh so pretty pictures… Anyway, I ended up getting quite disheartened by reading negative fan comments about how Dean isn’t getting a story line or Sam isn’t getting a story line or…
8.14 Trial And Error: This Is My Perfect Ending God’s obstacle course: Three deadly trials prepare one To slam shut Hell’s gates. Commentary And Meta Analysis This episode clearly set the stage for the rest of the season, and perhaps longer. I particularly loved the honesty we got from both of the…
Ardeospina is taking the night off, so I’ll handle the “Let’s Speculate” this week. And boy, oh, boy, what an episode to speculate about! Oh, I should give the warning, huh? WARNING, if you haven’t seen “Trial and Error” I don’t advise you go on any further. I’m sharing some very spoilery stuff, aka the…
