“No Exit” isn’t one of my favorites. I’m putting that out there right now. This episode was so…off. I think it’s because season two was on such a roll. The previous episode revisited Sam’s arc, and it’s not pretty. I mean, he is, but the situation isn’t. Couple that with the exciting premiere, then John…
As I was looking for a way to pass the quarantine summer doldrums, I saw Entertainment Weekly’s list of what it considered to be the 75 most ‘essential’ episodes of Supernatural, leading up to Season 15. Since any excuse for a rewatch is a good excuse, I figured I’d not only invite my Supernatural “Team Free Will…
Welcome to the haiku episode guide for season two! This was where it all began for me; I wrote the very first of my episode haiku for “Croatoan,” and later went back to fill in all the holes. Dean’s despair and resignation in “Croatoan” made poetry my only appropriate response; that has never changed. Hope…
Ever hear a song that immediately makes you think of a person or a moment in your life, or a scene in a movie or television show…say a show like Supernatural? I put together a list of songs that alway bring to mind certain scenes and episodes whenever I hear them. In this installment of…

In the last installment of “Go Beyond the Gag Reel,” we examined the special features of season one. It covered everything from the deleted scenes to the commentaries to the special additions only found on the Blu Ray set—in particular the Devil’s Road Map and the Paley Fest Panel. It gave us a chance to…
I was able to join a recent rewatch of season two’s “Heart,” and was reminded again what an incredibly well written episode this was. Penned by the talented and much missed Sera Gamble and directed by a man who added so much to this series, Kim Manners, “Heart” works on every level, thematically within the…
It’s Hellatus, we need time killers, and you all loved last week’s Season One Fun Facts so much that this week we’re moving onto season two! Before I get started with season two, I did miss a REALLY, REALLY fun fact from season one, one that I’m going to put on the list in…
“Supernatural” Hits and Misses Season Two: Part Two First, my apologies for the delay in this posting and for my lack of postings the month or so – most recently I had a computer-related emergency in which my hard drive flat-out died, taking with it my nearly completed handful of articles due for publication this…
As I was approaching season 2 I started to have a crisis. There are a number of season 2 episodes that are absolute favourites of mine, ones that I watch over and over, so I thought I was going to have a tricky time deciding which to write up. As it turned out….not so much.
Supernatural Season Two Hits and Misses: Part One Greetings! So, these pieces seem to spark some intense discussion (which is awesome – some great thoughts and ideas in the comments on the last two installments) and I just wanted to clarify a few things before going into the rest of them. When I refer…
Retro Open Supernatural Couch – In My Time of Dying Or Lessons in Disrupting the Natural Balance Today I look back at one of the most painful episodes of our beloved show. Before you ask – yes, I might occasionally be a masochist par excellence. Today is one of those days, I reckon, when…
