Ah yes, the setup episode. Not that it’s a bad thing. Lord knows if any series needed a setup episode so far this season it’s “Supernatural.” As this show often does though, an episode designed to gives us answers also leaves us with a ton more maddening questions. As a matter of fact, much of…
Warning!!!! If you haven’t seen the latest episode of “Supernatural” and the preview for next week, do not read this! There is going to be plot-based speculation and discussion! You’ve been officially warned!
All right, it’s time for a visual review of “You Can’t Handle the Truth.” I thought this was a pretty straightforward episode, directing-wise, which makes sense for an episode that focused on people telling the truth! That’s not to say there wasn’t a lot of great stuff to look at, more that there wasn’t a…
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,…
It’s another Edlund goodie (and man are there goodies) and once again, there’s so much to cover! Let’s not waste any time getting started.

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…
A hooker, Sam? Really? You should NEVER need to pay any woman to have sex with you! NEVER! Except for the anonymity, I guess, but even the hookers want to give you freebies, you’re that GOOD!
You just know that when Ben Edlund discovered that he was writing the episode that returned Cas he bounded into the writers’ room declaring, “I’ve got the scene, you know THE SCENE!” Then he immediately regales all present with the joys of mocking (in a loving and respectful way) the fandom as to who Castiel prefers,…

When we last saw Castiel at the end of Season 4 he was standing resolutely next to Chuck – I am the prophet, ready to hold off heaven’s most fearsome power, an archangel. Season 5 opens with the news that Castiel was smote, like a water balloon filled with Chunky soup, not to worry,…
First off, bad news everyone, take a deep breath, sit down, grab a tissue or your pillow or puppy, kitten, bunny, frog, lizard – whatever it is that helps you get through bad news. Okay. Is everyone set? Good. I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but Hellatus is halfway done. That’s right. I’m sorry to…
I’m going to warn you all right now, this is a 100 percent lovefest. I think many people were unfairly critical of the episode and I’m determined to spell out in exhaustive detail why every single scene is sheer calcuated brilliance. Oh, but in doing that, you’re also in store for one crazy ass long recap. Seriously, it’s…
