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…
A human, angel, and vampire walk into a bar…tell me if you’ve heard this one. Sorry, its an Edlund script. Might as well start with a joke. Fine, “Blood Brother” was one of his heavier scripts, but it goes to prove you’re never sure what you’re gonna get from Ben except a well written story. …
WARNING!!!!! If you haven’t seen “Blood Brother” yet, read no further! There will be spoilers, discussion, blood, Elton John puns!!!! But seriously, don’t read if you haven’t watched. And if you have, let’s do this!!!!!!!!!
It’s that time again….new episode time and it’s time for Sam to meet Benny…. Ok, so,I need to tell you first up, I’m pretty excited to see this one. This was the episode that was shooting while I was at VanCon and this was the episode I watched a couple of scenes being shot for!…
On Saturday afternoon, a panel was held as part of Comic-Con’s traditional “spotlight on” series that honored the long and very strange career of one Mr. Ben Edlund. The moderator was Ben Blacker, and the host was none other than DJ Shadoe Stevens. You’ll find Shadoe Stevens butting in quite a bit with questions for…
Yep, I’ve been staring at a blank page with a title for four days, exactly like poor Kevin Tran with his college essay. Except, I’d much rather be writing a college essay. That’s easy. This episode has twisted my brain like a pretzel! When looking at the plot of the surface, “Reading Is…
“Reading is Fundamental” Season 7 Episode 21 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Now, Neighbor, MI – National Scholastic Society winner Kevin Tran plays his cello in his room. South Chicago, IL – Sam and Dean and their newly acquired suitcase find a new hiding place. As his beautiful music fills his prize-filled bedroom, Kevin receives…
Review: 7.21 “Reading Is Fundamental” by sweetondean The Angels, they don’t care. I think maybe they just don’t have the equipment to care. Seems like when they try, it just breaks them apart. “Supernatural” is a complex show. It sounds pretty simple on paper, 2 brothers travelling the back roads of America, hunting monsters and…
Warning!!! If you have not seen “Reading is Fundamental” and next week’s promo, read no further! There will be spoilers! (And blood. Ha!)
(Photo of Ben Edlund by Alice Jester, Comic Con 2011) A lot of attention, (and rightly so), is given to Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles for bringing Sam and Dean Winchester to life on screen each week. But, before actors ever utter words from a script, a writer has to produce them. Supernatural draws from a stable…
Where to even begin with this one? I’m sure what I say will have already been said in the other wonderful reviews (which I haven’t read yet). This episode was a powerful one, with a wonderfully dark air about it that landed somewhere as a beautiful cross between Criminal Minds and Supernatural. So, without further…
I don’t know about the rest of you but for me Repo Man was a breath of fresh air. I’ve loved the last few standalone episodes but I have definitely been craving a little more substance as well. I’ve always been a big fan of the larger story arch format that Supernatural has taken on…
