There is an old Native American proverb about our inner wolves. One wolf is full of our worst feelings: envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. That wolf also represents our fear. The other wolf is our best feelings: joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,…
Once upon a time, when this was a much smaller site and I inconceivably had more time in my life, I used to do these things called full length recaps. I’ve always loved the recaps on Television Without Pity (other shows, not necessarily “Supernatural”) and I chose to do ones for “Supernatural” that were, I…
So it’s official. Dean’s a hug-monster. The man truly does “wuz hugs” and I’m cool with it! Oh boy am I cool with it! I was excited for this episode from the beginning. I like Charlie; I like Robbie Thompson’s writing. I was thinking, this is going to be a fun filler! That’s what…
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…
I did not expect this episode to bring on the waterworks quite so much. Maybe I’m just feeling overly sentimental as this season draws to a close but I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions during this episode. And I mean that in a good way. And the best part of it…
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…
Mages, orcs, elves, and queens populate Moondoor—but what it really needs is a hero. Supernatural has always dealt with the reluctant hero. Each brother has begrudgingly accepted this mantle at one time or another. Every hunter is really a reluctant hero. There are really only two options: run from it or embrace it. That hero…
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…
I watched this episode last night and I am still smiling. There was a warmth about this episode that we haven’t seen from ‘Supernatural’ in a long time. When is the last time we saw Sam and Dean as happy as they looked in the end of this episode? I can safely say that this…
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…
“Nothing is safe.” “The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo” proved this in spades. Both sides of this fight have high stakes and a lot to lose. We start with the brothers back at the cabin, piecing together what Dick Roman is really up to. Frank’s intelligence dug up data about a location…
