“The French Mistake” 6/15 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Sam and Dean are spending a very stormy night at Bobby’s. Dean pours the last drop of hooch into a glass and tells Sam that, despite the dreadful weather, “hero” Bobby has gone into town on a supply run for “Hunter’s Helper.” …
So this week we actually get to move on to a more meaty part of the season – Cass’s civil war in heaven. And we start it off with a bang! Raphael, Balthazar and the series’ third super-meta episode that breaks the fourth wall with a wrecking ball! Dean and Sam get to act the…
In an effort to make up for how late this is, lots of caps! So Alice and Jenniffer’s headache is your gain, readers. “Clap Your Hands…” was directed by John F. Showalter, who also directed this season’s “Two and a Half Men” and last year’s “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” So in his three experiences…
All hail Edlund! So, are you thinking this was my chance to kick back and write a fun one for a change? It’s fun, but this episode was loaded with so much detail it makes for one busy recap. I do wonder if the script specifically instructed “make opening look exactly like The X-Files.” If…
Thank you Ben Edlund! If anyone could take on the task of pulling the fandom out of its soulless blue funk right now, it’s the veteran writer with the warped sense of humor. Hmm, did I say warped? More like blissfully deranged. Whatever it is, he’s got us pegged. “Clap Your Hands If You Believe” made me…
Ben Edlund microwaves Tinkerbell, this on top of last week’s outing which will cause many to think twice when Fido curls up as his master is disrobing, sheesh, peeping pups abound; truly nothing is sacred in Supernatural. Clap Your Hands If You Believe is vintage Ben Edlund with a touch of Sera Gamble thrown…
“Clap Your Hands If You Believe” Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A young couple, making out in the middle of an Elwood, Indiana, cornfield (presented to us X-FILES style), are interrupted when Patrick says he sees “something out there” in the corn. “You’re freaking me out,” she protests, but he insists on having a look,…
Here we go with the third episode of the season, fittingly titled “The Third Man,” bringing us the return of Cass! Hooray! The director for this episode was Bob Singer, his first of the season, and the writer, of course, was Ben Edlund. It was a very Edlundian episode! Let’s just get right to it,…
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…
Monster Movie –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Thunder and lightning fill the sky as the credits roll just like they would in an old time monster movie. The Impala turns a corner, passing a sign that alternately reads, “Welcome to Pennsylvania” and “Welcome to Transylvania.” While Sam thinks they should be addressing the coming end…
(Please note, this recap was written a few days before “Two Minutes to Midnight” aired. So some questions I raised do get answered.) Cranking out these recaps every week is proving to be a challenge. We’re getting down to the wire though so I plug on! Let’s get started. If there’s a profound weak spot to this…
Or, There’s more to Sam Winchester than meets the eye We already knew that, and yet this episode, the first of a three-part finale, gave another character study of the younger Winchester that showed us some more aspects of his nature, amazingly so. This episode begins in a lab, exposing two doctors to…
