(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…
A while back, I decided that I wanted to make a list of Top 10 Bobby moments because Bobby Singer is awesome, and he deserves his own list. Then I started going through all his scenes and realized that there was no earthly way for me to pick just 10 moments I loved from Bobby…
“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel No long synopsis here, you can go find that over at www.moogi.com under SUPERNATURAL. This episode made me cry a lot, not just for Bobby, which is to be expected, but for Sam and Dean, too. By the way, what happened to poor Dean’s…
Ah, Thursday night – at last you return with my Supernatural fix. I settled in with my tea, ready to continue on the Apocalyptic adventure with the Winchesters. But wait, what’s this? A basketball game? That can’t be right! Sadly, it was. Yes, the first new Supernatural episode in months was pre-empted by a basketball…
“Dream a Little Dream of Me” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Bobby, terrified, enters his own home, flashlight in hand. He opens a pair of double doors and a screaming woman attacks him, sending both of them to the floor. We realize Bobby is asleep and dreaming this. A maid enters his room with her cart, apologizes,…
“Sin City” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Love this episode! Dean and a beautiful, vicious demon get trapped together in a basement cave-in and get philosophical, talking like regular folk. They are perfect for each other, snarky and sexy, and I remember after the episode aired, all I wanted was a screen cap of their one…
