As one of the season’s final episodes, “King of the Damned” contained the dramatic conclusion of the Crowley vs. Abaddon storyline. The scene was powerful, intense and brilliantly acted. It contained great special effects and the end of a diabolical, major character.
Supernatural’s “King of the Damned” was one of writing duo Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner’s better efforts. The episode was still plagued with unnecessary continuity errors and handled fan commentary with a good deal less finesse than Ben Edlund, but we finally got some real movement forward. RIP, Abbadon.
“King of the Damned” is a representation of everything good and right and wonderful about Supernatural. Oh, did I come on too strong? Well, I meant it. This episode did not quit from beginning to end and left me with my jaw on the floor. It was especially refreshing to have a Winchester-centric episode after the…
1. Loved this episode, and not just because Dean killed off Abaddon’s in a wonderful scene. The brothers seem to be rebuilding their relationship again. Give this one a nine. You?

A busy work schedule has made me late to the reviewing game for Supernatural’s “Mother’s Little Helper,” but I have to squeak a review in under the wire, because Adam Glass’s episode played with so many important themes.

How have you liked Supernatural’s season 9 so far? Has it been “Divine” as promised? We are just past the mid-point in the season, with 13 episodes behind us and 10 episodes ahead of us. Since there are no new shows to discuss during this three week hiatus, it is the perfect time to reflect…
Setting aside my overwhelming emotional reaction to the brilliant acting, storytelling and production that resulted in “Road Trip” for just a few minutes, let’s put our heads together and analyze how the episode contributed to the myth arc and plot threads of season nine!
The first half of season nine explored Castiel’s experience as the new Adam, the fall of angels from Heaven, and the aftermath of the Trials—particularly that of Dean allowing Gadreel to possess his brother, Sam. We watched each of these stories reflect or weave around a particular center—the Garden of Eden and the Fall of…
Healing Journeys Thank you, Andrew Dabb, for giving me such an amazing episode for my first review on this site. “Road Trip” has it all—excellent writing, excellent performances, and excellent personal and mythological arc development. I have enjoyed season nine so far, but I had a few niggling doubts about the exploration of the brothers’…
