This is in response to Elle2’s article discussing her reasons for being disappointed in Season 6. Instead of writing all this out in the comment section, I decided to write it up in article form since I have author power! Or something. At any rate, Elle2, thanks for writing out your feelings and posting them. …
I remember when it was revealed that Season 6 was a go and that Sera Gamble was taking over and that she had a plan post-apocalypse for smaller, more closed end monster of the week episodes with a mytharc thread weaving in and out but a concentration on the more intimate relationship of the brothers….
“Appointment in Samarra” Episode 6/11 –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Through a secret entrance in Chinatown, Dean goes downstairs to visit a mysterious doctor who knew his father. He squeezes Dean’s cheeks and says, “That was ages ago, when I still had my medical license. Right this way.” “I’m no germ freak,” says…
This week Supernatural ends the first half of the season with “Appointment in Samarra,” an episode featuring the return of two familiar faces, Death, one of the four horsemen from the myth arc of last season, and Tessa the reaper from “In My Time of Dying’ (2.01) and “Death Takes a Holiday” (4.15). (Just a…
This one is a headscratcher. I swear this episode exists to either give us helpful hints or drive us bat-shit insane with misdirection. I’m going to be digging into each scene for clues and will be raising many questions without many answers. I’ll probably throw in a wild theory or two to add to the…
“Caged Heat” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Crowley, King of Hell, is dressed in a bloody white apron, interrogating a chained-up, bleeding shape-shifter who has taken on the persona of–Crowley, King of Hell! “Sorry, but your exceptional good looks aren’t going to buy you any mercy,” says Crowley, “I suggest you talk.” He wheels…
Last night’s episode “Caged Heat†revealed that Crowley was not the big bad after all. He was really more of a used car salesman, all talk and no substance. The fact that he was personally doing the torturing hints that he was doing the bidding of someone else. The King of Hell is upper management,…
SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Well, the gang’s all here this episode. Dean, Sam, Cass, Samuel the magnificent Meg Masters, who has a romantic encounter with Cass, all onboard for a showdown with the King of Hell. Things turn very serious this week as Meg reappears and kidnaps the boys in an attempt to find Crowley, who…
All hail Edlund! So, are you thinking this was my chance to kick back and write a fun one for a change? It’s fun, but this episode was loaded with so much detail it makes for one busy recap. I do wonder if the script specifically instructed “make opening look exactly like The X-Files.” If…
“Clap Your Hands If You Believe” Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A young couple, making out in the middle of an Elwood, Indiana, cornfield (presented to us X-FILES style), are interrupted when Patrick says he sees “something out there” in the corn. “You’re freaking me out,” she protests, but he insists on having a look,…
Okay, I’m going to do my best to be upbeat about this one. I’ve got all my familiar vices nearby and I’m surrounded by pictures of puppy dogs, lollipops, unicorns shooting rainbows out of their butts, sweet fuzzy soft kitties, and Sam’s bad hair days. Anything to forget the fact that each time Sam is…
In the last episode for two weeks, the Winchesters battle fairies and investigate a UFO sighting, and while Dean’s quest to “Fight the Fairies!” looks hilarious, there’s plenty of non-fairy humor to go around. As a lot of the series’ episodes are, this one will be based on real, dark fairy lore. It all…
