Oh, “Red Sky at Morning.” This episode has not gone down in history too kindly. It’s often referenced when someone needs an example of how bad filler is done or just when someone needs a good laugh. Even Chuck made a joke about it in season four. It’s…hideous. Although, compared to some of the really…
I was bopping around the Internet the other day when I came across the “what could have been” section on Supernatural’s TV trope page. “What is this?” I thought. “It is real world impacts on the SPN stories,” I realized. It was all pretty fascinating! So fascinating I knew I had to ask the person who knew…
In honour of season 11 and all the attitude adjustments it wrought, today we’re counting down some of the top ten “redemption” hits in Supernatural history.
The Mechanics of Supernatural: Six Years Later In 2009 when I first wrote this short piece, I was a newer member of the WFB writing family and my life was in a very different place. At the time, Supernatural was constantly amazing me with not only the forethought going into the storylines but the longevity…
Supernatural Season Three Hits and Misses – Part Two Miss: Sam’s Shooting This, I believe, is another unanimous “miss” in season three – when Bela shoots Sam in the shoulder. It was a too serious and startling button on an otherwise pretty balanced and enjoyable episode. Not need to go into too much detail…
Supernatural Season Three Hits and Misses – Part One Hit: The Time Loop There probably isn’t much need to explain why this is a hit – it was a pretty genius move. Not only was this episode full of hysterical moments like Dean’s obliviousness to the entire loop and Sam’s increasing deja vu to the…
As I’ve said many times ad nauseum, I discovered “Supernatural” in season three. I started blogging about “Supernatural” in March of that season (during the writer’s strike). When I did my first recap of “Bad Day At Black Rock” after it ran in repeats, I was a green blogger who had no freaking idea how to do…
“Time is on My Side” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A handsome young plastic surgeon talks shop with a colleague, then heads to his car in a deserted parking lot and rummages in the trunk. Hearing something, he looks over his shoulder, but sees nothing. Seconds later, he is shoved into his trunk and…
“Dream a Little Dream of Me” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Bobby, terrified, enters his own home, flashlight in hand. He opens a pair of double doors and a screaming woman attacks him, sending both of them to the floor. We realize Bobby is asleep and dreaming this. A maid enters his room with her cart, apologizes,…
“Fresh Blood” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Gordon Walker is out of prison and needs to find out where Sam is so he can kill him. He knows Bela has recently been hanging out with the brothers in Massachusetts, so he waits by her car and sticks a huge gun in her face, demanding to…
“Red Sky at Morning”Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Many people, including Kripke himself, don’t like this episode. He says so through Chuck in “The Monster at the End of This Book.” I happen to think it’s not that bad, and seeing Sam and Dean in tuxedoes is worth the price of admission. It’s got a…
“Bad Day at Black Rock” –Robin’s Ramblings by Robin Vogel Kubrick visits Gordon in jail, who insists, “Sam Winchester must die.” Driving in the Impala, the brothers fight about Ruby. Dean’s concerned that Sam is trusting a demon, but Sam just wants to use her. There’s a war going on, she can help them” plus,…
