“My Bloody Valentine” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel I had to watch this one three times before I was able to write about it. First, Famine was the creepiest MOTW we’ve had in a long time. With his brown-yellow teeth, leathery skin and pale pallor, I couldn’t help but wonder why he would want to be…
Here it is, episode night! It’s also a mytharc episode, so bring on the apocalypse. It’s been a while. I’ve already seen this episode, (albeit on a rough cut with no visual effects) so I’m taking bets you’ll like it. Or love it. Or will find its “jaw hits the floor awesome.” Oh heck, someone…
The very first mention of Castiel comes in season 3, when he is one of the beings mentioned at the start of the invocation Sam reads over the grave of the sea captain in Red Sky At Morning. (I haven’t found a transcript of the invocation, but it appears to start by calling on “Aziel, Castiel, Lemistiel…”.) …
Okay everyone, have those boxes of Kleenexes handy? Good, because as far as tear-jerkers go, this is the gold standard. A limo pulls up under an overpass. An older man with a tin box and a shovel gets out, but not before he steps in a puddle. I have no idea if that was a…
I was very pleased to get a review from Elle on “Abandon All Hope.” It’s one of those episodes that takes a while to sink in, so I’m thrilled she took some time to absorb it all and come up with this great review. Before I present Elle’s review though, I should note that Tigershire let…
Abandon All Hope by Elle2 I can’t, I won’t; it’s just not in me. Sure, I’ll be sad *and oh, how I am* by Ellen’s and Jo’s deaths. I’ll be worried about Sam’s fate, to be Lucifer’s vessel or not, by how far Castiel will lose his abilities and what impact that has on the character, how…
Who hoo! I finally get around to sharing this. All it took was almost two weeks of nonstop demanding family activities, an intense project at work, and more systems problems (Microsoft and Dell are both on my crap list right now) to make me think there was a definite demon plot to prevent this recap…
I’m very proud to announce that Elle has offered to step in and do the episode reviews until elle2 returns. She sent me her first one for “Free To Be You and Me.” I’m thrilled with her point of view, so enjoy and tell elle what you think. Thoughts on “Free to Be You and…
It should be noted this has already been on blogcritics the last couple of days (since I have an agreement with them to post reviews there first). I’m not sure how many only check out this site and how many check out both this and blogcritics, but here it is in case you missed it! …
(This originally appeared on blogcritics.org back in November, 2008. Since then Blogcritics has deleted the entire archive of articles that I wrote for them, so I’m reposting those reviews here. Enjoy!) What a concept! A horror show where one of the main characters accurately states, “For us everyday is Halloween,” opts to do a…
This show is making my brain hurt. That’s always been a hazard with Supernatural but this season my head wants to explode only two episodes in. When Kripke stated his goal for season four was to hit the ground running he wasn’t kidding. I’m thrilled. I mean, look at episode two from the previous seasons. Wendigo, Everybody Loves…
