What’s up Doc, indeed! I grew up on Looney Tunes cartoons. They were a staple of my TV watching diet as a kid. They were on all the time. Hell, the channel I work for now still plays Merrie Melodies in the afternoons! I was never a fan of Bugs – that insect-rabbit hybrid…
I love going into a Supernatural episode and not knowing what to expect. Usually when that happens, I’m pleasantly surprised. Not that I’m ranking “Hunteri Heroici” was one of the series best or most innovative, but I came away entertained instead of cursing so that’s something. The day after a Supernatural episode I end…
WARNING! If you haven’t seen “Hunteri Heroici,” read no further! There will be discussion and spoilers and all that, and you really want to watch this episode for yourself to get the full effect of the hilarity! Come back when you’ve watched!
SOUTHERN COMFORT Season 8 Episode 6 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel On to the episode! Dean and Sam have their long-delayed “talk” about what’s bothering them. Sam wants to know why Benny is still breathing–remember Amy? They let Kate go. “People do change,” Dean says, “look at you, you turned your phone off for a…
OMG last week’s episode! After some less impressive, somewhat disappointing efforts, like “Defending Your Life” and “Adventures in Babysitting” Adam Glass really hit it out of the park with this script! He got to a lot of things that maybe could have/should have been dealt with sooner. A solid effort that actually presented what was…
Ouch. That smarts. This episode made my stomach hurt. Then I realised I’d eaten a whole box of Anzac cookies out of nerves! So maybe the tummy ache was too much sugar. But the heartache was certainly Winchestery.
Wow. Talk about tension. You could cut it with a knife. Thank goodness for a little Garth-infused lightness or Sam and Dean may have spent the entire episode in moody silence. Not that I wouldn’t have watched…
BLOOD BROTHER Episode 5, Season 8 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A man walks suspiciously along the docks, and is greeted by Benny. “Hello Quentin.” Quentin is shocked, unable to believe Benny is alive. “I get the confusion. You of all people knew I was truly, truly dead. After all you held down my…
Thoughts on 8×05 – Blood Brother This episode was by and large a relaxing, time filler type episode – it allowed everyone to take a breath, process what we know and laid some ground work for the coming weeks. And I enjoyed it. Like some earlier episodes such Home or Provenance, it was a…
I feel I should part with a nasty secret. I always get performance anxiety when I do a review of a Ben Edlund episode…will I be able to do the episode justice? Will I only miss a little of the imagery I wanted to talk about?
I have a confession,I’m as much a fan of Ben Edlund as I am anyone else associated with this show. This is not to say I have pictures of him around my room, I don’t,but I’m not adverse to the idea. Would I like to meet him? Yes. Have a photo with him? Yes. Spend…
Oh man, am I ever riding a “Supernatural” high! I spent this last weekend at Chicon and was totally immersed in all things “Supernatural”. Hopefully it didn’t have an effect on my perception of this episode because I loved it. (Don’t mind me while I bury the lede.) I think Ben Edlund is a genius…
