Aw nuts. I don’t get it. Where does any writer think, “This season has been very even keeled in it’s storytelling. Let’s blow it all apart with a kitchen sink episode! The fans will love it!” Yeah, right. I went into “The War of the Worlds” with fresh eyes since I couldn’t remember a…
Eh, okay. I’m not sure what they were going for with “Tombstone,” but it didn’t work. Actually, that will be the mantra for this review. Did…not…work. It’s a shame too, since the previous two episodes were so strong and season thirteen was starting to find it’s footing. Sadly, this one crashed and burned to the…
Before doing my re-watch of “Advanced Thanatology,” I watched “The Big Empty” first (I skipped “Patience” because rereading my scathing review brought back all sorts of memories). I realized watching both these episodes together are a must. They pair perfectly in their themes about grief and loss and they’re both written by two junior writers…
Here we go, another look at Supernatural Season 13! For me, this is actually kind of a first look. At the time, my father died just before the premiere and I do confess season 13 is a bit of a blur as I handled family issues most of the season. Sure, I stuck around for…
I sat down and did the rewatch of “Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell” knowing that I didn’t remember a darned thing about the episode. After watching it, I’m not sure I ever watched it the first time! I know there were a couple on my “never watched” list so maybe this was one of them? …
Here it is, the last review for season nine. Thank freaking goodness. To say it was a chore rewatching and writing up reviews for this horrific season would be a massive understatement. It reminded me of everything I absolutely loathed about this season. The season where I almost quit watching “Supernatural” for good (multiple friends…
Can you say, “parallels galore”? That’s what “First Born” brings to the table, a twist on an old testament biblical story that always had Sam and Dean in mind when the Supernatural saga unfolded. Sure, Sam and Dean’s story wasn’t quite Cain and Abel, but thanks to the genius of Robbie Thompson, it became that…
“I didn’t have a choice.” You DID! You just made the wrong one. Lots of times. I did like “Road Trip” more than “Holy Terror”. This is an Andrew Dabb script and like his others, it was inconsistency galore. Some things worked, some things didn’t. The biggest strength, Crowley was really freaking awesome. Every…
Dean Winchester got what he deserved. I could end the review of “Holy Terror” right there, but I suppose in his desperate act he left a lot of collateral damage in his wake, so I should probably explore that. I just think it’s pretty sad as the episode closed out on Dean’s devastated face that…
“Heaven Can’t Wait” is one episode where I didn’t remember ever seeing it or what it was about. So, for such a forgettable episode, this rewatch took me by surprise. It was actually good. A well deserved character study for Castiel based on his new circumstances as a human, and a smaller yet effective glimpse…
In my rewatch of “I’m No Angel,” I was pleasantly surprised…for the first two thirds of it. This wasn’t a half bad story and was strangely fluid. Then the wheels completely fell off the wagon and it ended a complete travesty. All the right ideas were in place, but this time they got a good…
Before I get started, I should give a disclaimer. I hated season nine. Granted I watched most of the episodes only once, and it’s been a while since I’ve revisited, but this was the season that really started my discontent with Supernatural. In going back and reviewing the multiple number of episodes I didn’t review…
