I’m setting aside all conspiracy theories this week. I’m taking the whole episode for what we were given, because taking this suspense filled hour anywhere else will blow my freaking mind. Now that’s out of the way, HOLY MOTHER OF CHUCK! That was one very emotionally gut wrenching, dig-my-nails-into-the-armchair hour of television. I cried, I…
WARNING!!!!! If you haven’t seen “Citizen Fang,” read no further! There will be discussion and spoilers and other sundries, and it will ruin your whole hiatus if you cheat and read this before watching. Probably… But, if you’ve watched, then enter and speculate with me.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh it’s the last episode before the HELLATUS! We’re heading in a bit early this year, at episode 9. But still! We have 5 weeks ahead to sweat over what happens this week and drive ourselves crazy with more theories, though maybe, this week will help us with some of those? (Yeah right!). Ok, there’s…
Season 8 of Supernatural has played with various themes. It has looked at choice, personal responsibility, good intentions, and grief. In “A Little Slice of Kevin,” we see another theme, that of perception, addressed directly. It has been there in various ways throughout the season, yet here we see it thrust out into the open,…
Episode 7, Season 8 A Little Slice of Kevin Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel We go to the idyllic setting of Randy Raccoon Pre-School, where, while a great wind blows, a demon disappears into a restroom with Aaron, a cute little boy covered in paint–and kidnaps him. The other kids run for cover, screaming; an…
I promised it, and I’m delivering! After my procedure Tuesday, I have risen like a phoenix from the ashes (preferably one that has reformed and/or hasn’t killed so I can get the Winchester brothers to decide not to do me in…) and am working on my review. O.K., I’m being a little melodramatic…it really wasn’t…
Maybe I should be disappointed that “A Little Slice of Kevin” showed no aftermath of the war of the Winchesters from the week before. I was expecting some tension, possibly a little hostility, definitely an undercurrent of anger. Maybe I should be disappointed that we didn’t get that. But, I simply can’t seem to give…
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…
