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,…
I always get geeked out over an Edlund script. The guy is a master. I know what sort of thing I’m going to get and he rarely disappoints. There’s usually some outrageous dialogue, something pretty darned gross, and a story with well plotted twists and turns that exposes ramifications we’ve never considered before. Plus he is the master of…
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…
(Photo courtesy of Staying In) Ben Edlund was the first to talk to us and we ended up having a nice seven minute conversation. As has been in the past with Mr. Edlund, he doesn’t always give straight forward answers, but they’re interesting! Oh yes, he gives away a few spoilers too. So… MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!

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…
Thoughts on “The Devil You Know” Season five of Supernatural has been quite a mixed bag of episodes ranging from the phenomenal to the low-level mediocre and everything in between. For me, The Devil You Know fell about smack dab in the middle of those two, perhaps a little closer to the phenomenal than…
“Ghostfacers” Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Ed Zeddemore and Harry Spengler introduce their pilot, GHOSTFACERS. They sit in chairs. Behind them a fire crackles in a fireplace. They are presenting something during the crippling writer’s strike, something they claim will be “the most frightening hour of television.” Phase 1 – Homework – Ed and Harry walk…
