Whew, episode 21! I’m positively loopy with recap fever here, churning out a seventh one in a row for your (and my) amusement. There’s still next week too! So, let’s get it on, these episodes are getting bumpy. I note there’s an especially long “NOW” segment. I know there’s a lot to cover, but there’s a lot…
(Please note, this recap was written a few days before “Two Minutes to Midnight” aired. So some questions I raised do get answered.) Cranking out these recaps every week is proving to be a challenge. We’re getting down to the wire though so I plug on! Let’s get started. If there’s a profound weak spot to this…
Okay, as a whole I wasn’t quite a fan of this one. As a matter of fact, my re-watch of this episode is going through it for the recap. I was even less impressed the second time. Let’s find out why. The “THEN” segment is promising, for it features The Trickster/Gabriel. That means he’ll be in this…
100! 100 episodes! Now I could get all nostalgic and say I’ve been there every Thursday (or Tuesday in early season one), but honestly, the first live episode I saw was “Fresh Blood,” which was episode 51. I’ll tell ya though, it’s been an amazing and gut wrenching 49 live episodes for me! Like this one. I’m taking on the…
The episode is “99 Problems” and I think Sam and Dean have way more than that. Let’s get started. There have been 99 teasers now and I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with one as intense as this. Nothing comes to mind. “Nightshifter” comes close, but that’s it. The episode starts with the Impala’s speedometer and it’s…
I already knew this would be a great episode the second it started. A scene that intense is the teaser? So, dig in, for this recap could get hairy. First, let’s get the credits out of the way. The writers are Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, who really hit a major stride here. It’s good to see them produce something…
Okay, before we get started, one MAJOR issue will be gotten out of the way now. There is no continuity between this episode and “My Bloody Valentine.” The reason is because this was filmed as episode 5.14 and “My Bloody Valentine” was supposed to be episode 5.15. Then the network decided to come back from Winter Hellatus in…
Warning, this is a really long one. In the past when recaps have gotten this long I’ve broken it up into two parts. This time I didn’t do that. So, I’m hoping this will be killing some uber time at work for you. Enjoy! —————————————————————— Okay, I’ve taken enough recovery time after several days of…
This is an incredible, emotional, epic episode, and there’s plenty to cover. That’s because it’s a Sera Gamble script, with help this time from Nancy Weiner. Let’s get started! Alice JesterAlice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer, web designer, site administrator, marketer, and moderator for The Winchester Family Business. She is a 30 year IT…
Okay, sometimes the mediocre and bad episodes are more fun to recap than the good ones. They’re easier at least. Let’s see if that’s true here or not. Interesting how there’s no “Now” or “Then” segment. We go straight to a bar and one nice looking older lady is in there having a watered down…
My apologies, this is about five or six days too late. I hope you don’t mind re-living an episode from over a week ago! At least it’s better than the one we just saw. ——————————————————————- First episode back from the winter hellatus! Winchesters in a mental hospital is certainly an attention getter. Let’s get right to it. Since…
Okay everyone, have those boxes of Kleenexes handy? Good, because as far as tear-jerkers go, this is the gold standard. A limo pulls up under an overpass. An older man with a tin box and a shovel gets out, but not before he steps in a puddle. I have no idea if that was a…
