This week’s episode was written by Andrew Dabb and directed by Bob Singer. The episode begins with a recap of the previous episodes and then shows us Mary at a diner in Lawrence, Kansas, sipping her coffee. She gets a call from Castiel, and he asks her to meet him at the bunker. The episode…
Welcome back to the Memorable Moments series! Once again I put together a list of what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from Supernatural season 12. This week’s focus is 12.06, “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox”. The list varies from episode to episode depending on what has transpired. I hope you…
Like much of season 12 to date, there is a pleasant classic flavour to Asa Fox without sacrificing original, fresh storytelling along the way. Asa is another character-heady tale, with strong writing and unique insights into the hunter community, all the while bringing together a resilient collection of mother-figures around the Winchesters.
The Morning After Now THAT was an outstanding Supernatural episode! “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox” had a generous helping of genuinely emotional moments, an original and exciting hunt, interesting family dynamics, continuity of character and plot history, and an outstanding selection of rock music (that has been missing from far too many episodes).

Add to that the morning-after let down, when the excitement is over, the adrenaline is…
The season 11 finale, “Alpha and Omega,” was written by Andrew Dabb, the new co-showrunner. The episode begins where last week’s episode left off.
Welcome to “Memorable Moments”. Each week I will visually recap what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from that episode. The list may vary from week to week, depending on what has transpired in that particular episode.
There is a lot to love about Red Meat. It’s maybe been a while since we’ve seen a werewolf and they weren’t really a major focus here. Instead they were a background nuisance to the frontline story – about family, because that is was Supernatural focuses on the best after all. We have a young,…
“To the pain.” The phrase will be familiar to any fan of the movie The Princess Bride, but it is most appropriate for the Supernatural episode “Red Meat.” Rather than taking everything but the ears as Westley threatens Humperdink in the movie, we see each character tested in their own ways. In many ways, the…
This episode, co-written by Andrew Dabb and Robert Berens, is titled “Red Meat.” The episode employs a similar storytelling technique as last week’s Thompson episode “Safe House” in which two stories are happening contiguously.
Here’s all the scoop on episode 17.
