“Swan Song” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Our THEN recap begins with “Carry On, My Wayward Son,” what I consider to be the anthem of the Winchester family, and I begin to cry at the very first note. I cry even harder when they show us the explosion that led to the death of Ellen…
Thoughts on Swan Song Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry (don’t you cry no more) Delighted applause was heard in my small corner of the world when then highly anticipated Kansas montage cued up. So many great moments to reflect…
–-Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Pestilence, posing as Dr. Green, sits at the bedside of “My favorite patient, Celeste,” who he has infected with the common cold, Dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis. Just to be a real prick, he also adds chicken pox, and counts down as his “proprietary blend, mixed in a petrie…
Open Supernatural Couch , Two Minutes to Midnight Or The Coming of the Shadow of Death It’s all for one and one for all. We’re only one episode away from the epic showdown that will surely be upon us next Thursday. According to Crowley, ‘this time next Thursday, we’ll be living in zombie land’. …
Thoughts on Two Minutes to Midnight As second to last episodes go, this one didn’t disappoint. From the opening teaser to the last frame of Dean’s troubled face, my eyes were glued to the screen. What I loved about this episode: Castiel The return of our angel! He’s not quite an angel anymore…
(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…
The “Then” part goes by, riddles with scenes of Jess, Crowley, the Croatoan virus (which I think is the most ingenious thing ever, by the way), and the Horsemen. Now it’s “Now,” and two scientists in an animal testing lab (boooo) are arguing about the legitimacy of a vaccine they’ve never seen. The janitor offers…
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…
“The Devil You Know” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel That first scene was just awful! I hate labs with all the helpless animals being subjected to tests, even though I know it’s ultimately for the good of humankind. I guess they gave the one doc a shot of the Croatoan virus, and it’s working…
“No Rest For the Wicked” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Dean dreams he is running from hellhounds. He awakens just as they catch up to and leap on him. He has fallen asleep on a particularly gruesome photo of a hellhound in a book, and he looks up to Sam’s worried but hopeful face–Bobby’s come up…
Okay, before we get started, one MAJOR issue will be gotten out of the way now. There is no continuity between this episode and “My Bloody Valentine.” The reason is because this was filmed as episode 5.14 and “My Bloody Valentine” was supposed to be episode 5.15. Then the network decided to come back from Winter Hellatus in…
(This was originally posted on Blogcritics.org but is no longer on the site. I’m reposting it here in order to get a full archive of my SPN reviews.) I remember when The CW switched “Jus In Bello” and “Mystery Spot” in season three. Even though “Jus in Bello” was filmed first, the switch was done…
