Excuse me while I catch my breath, because intensity of this week really had some deep-gasp moments. The little bits in between the Sam and Dean interaction, for the most part, were kind of “meh” in this episode – but when they were on the screen – and since the boys were the majority of…
I’ve given myself a few days to reflect on “Soul Survivor” and a second viewing. I had to, because my initial impression was so negative. Well, it still is. Not everything, of course. Jensen Ackles’ direction was stellar, particularly the stalking scene but really the entire episode. What interest I had in “Soul Survivor” arose…
The biggest problem for a show in its tenth season is keeping the drama fresh. Expectations are high, and too many prior episodes have set a very high bar. Thanks to last week’s setup with the excellent episode “Reichenbach,” everything was laid out to deliver a compelling, jaw dropping, emotional drama. That’s where “Soul Survivor”…
Summary: The episode was written by Ross-Leming and Bruckner and directed by Jensen Ackles, who always does a superb job directing, as he did tonight. The episode follows three threads.
The monsters, demons, angels—and hunters—that populate the rich world of Supernatural excite, entertain, and thrill us each week. But its what they represent that keeps us coming back. Dig deeper, and we can see that each one captures a facet of ourselves. They can represent our hopes. They can represent our fears. They can represent…
Jensen was scaring the crap out of me, not just by what he said, but by the expression of hatred in his eyes.
Life conspired to keep me from my keyboard the last couple of weeks, but I can’t resist sneaking in a review of “Reichenbach,” late in the game as it is. I wasn’t as thrilled with “Black” as I’d hoped to be, but “Reichenbach” hit all the right notes. I’m really looking forward to seeing the…
Well, that’s much better. Too bad that “Reichenbach” wasn’t the season premiere, because that was so much more of an attention getter. Dean is evil to the core. Sammy has his work cut out for him. There was far more than the sagas of Sam and Dean though. “Reichenbach” succeeded where “Black” struggled. It was…
Tonight we get Episode 10.02. What do we know?
Marked by cataclysmic upheaval, Supernatural season nine culminated in massive earthquakes. Each one has reshaped the landscape forever. We saw it in the finale on every level—and now we’re seeing its aftershocks in the season ten opener. As the earthquakes reverberate from the center, we see them ripple through each and every character on Supernatural….
It’s been said a million times by this point, but nonetheless, the fact that this is season ten still blows my mind. Six years ago when I watched my first live episode, who could have imagined we’d still be doing this all this time later – and enjoying it so thoroughly? Okay, let’s talk about…
There are so many reviews with so many words! Why don’t we just boil it down to the basics? Here’s my view of “Black” is 500 words or less!
