Far Away Eyes’ Deeper Look: Supernatural 10.18 “Book of the Damned”
Just listen to the closing song for “Book of the Damned,” and its easy to see the lyrics illuminating so much of the episode’s stories.

Phenomenal. Truly, that is the only thought I had after watching this episode. It was 42 minutes and change of fully engrossing television and one of the best episodes this season has had to offer. From the opening, which started like a scene from a Marvel adapted television series with the darkened alleyway and hooded…
Superb cinematography has long been a hallmark of Supernatural. An extremely talented team comprised of Serge Ladouceur (Director of Photography), Jerry Wanek (Set Design), Phil Sgriccia (Director), wardrobe, camera crews and many other dedicated people work together to create both conscious and subconscious messages that added to our viewing experience of Supernatural’s “There’s No Place…
Wait, what’s this, a well-written, emotional, very entertaining Supernatural season ten episode? A Mark of Cain story that actually hit home??? Parallels that didn’t trigger a shower of falling anvils (although there was a drizzle or two). Be still my beating fan girl heart.
Supporting characters on Supernatural are often welcomed with skepticism. Part of that attitude is ingrained in viewers because we have learned that attaching to a character can lead to heartbreak. The show does not shy away from killing characters and even if it brings them back, such as in the case with Bobby or Rufus,…
Going into this episode, I knew I would love it. From the outset it had too many great elements not to be good: humour, references to the Carver Edlund book series, Felicia Day’s Charlie – one of my favourite recurring characters to date, and some emotional reveals as well. And yet what this episode brought…
Whoa. 4 episodes left in the season. That seems pretty crazy. The Js have already wrapped and as I was writing this, Russ Hamilton tweeted that it was the last day of shooting for the crew. Season 8 is nearly over. It’s kinda hard to believe! So as we hurtle towards the end of…
8.11 LARP And The Real Girl: Escaping Isn’t What It Used To Be Frustrated LARPer Binds fairy to kill rivals: Brave hearts win the day. Commentary and Meta Analysis I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! I don’t have a lot to say about it meta-wise, and being a standalone villain hunt, it didn’t advance the overall…
Well that was fun. It’s been a while since we had a fun episode of “Supernatural”. One that took us out of the mythology for a bit. “Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie” was the last one I could think of and let me tell you, that was 20 episodes ago! I know this because I counted…
After last week, we probably all need a bit of a laugh…or a hug…or a little lie down. So though this week’s episode will probably not progress the central storylines of the season, it will, more than likely, make us laugh out loud…and I for one could do with a great big Winchester induced guffaw…
Just looking at the previews told us that “The Girl With The Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo” would not be an angst ridden, gut wrenching, emotional powerhouse while finally unfolding the long stagnant Leviathan plot. It even hinted that Sam and Dean would have to surrender a lot of the spotlight to this week’s guest stars. …
