The Road So Far: God is back, Jack is dead, “Welcome to the end,” Amara tells Chuck that he needs her, Rowena does her spell and falls into the gulf in the earth, Michael/Adam tells them they need a leviathan blossom in Purgatory and opens a rift Now: A plastic pink elephant with an uplifted…
THEN: Sam’s vision from last week – the bunker in red light, Dean battling his way through the halls until he reaches Sam who kills him; Sam jolting awake; “God’s gone; it’s just us and the ghosts”; the ghosts and Belphegor; Rowena’s death; Dean and Cas arguing. NOW: In Black Forest, CO, three young woman…
“Oh, Becky. I can do anything. I’m a writer.” Davy Perez really opened a can of worms in “Atomic Monsters,” hasn’t he? I spent a good long week trying to process the underlying messages about the writers vs. the fans and it’s clever. Wickedly clever. It all leads to a three way struggle for between…
I am completely and utterly FLOORED by the depth this episode provided, not only for the storyline of the Winchesters but for the story of Becky and Chuck. I mentioned that I had some thoughts about this episode on my Twitter, and I’m hoping that I can make them cohesive here. Before I go anywhere,…
This was an hour of television that unabashedly hit all the feels. From top to bottom, “Atomic Monsters” was dark, emotional and even twisted at times. It was an episode I thoroughly enjoyed…or whatever – it was a hard episode in all the best ways.
The Morning After Well that was intense – in a sneaky, you don’t feel the trauma until it’s over, kind of way. Supernatural 15.04 “Atomic Monsters” had all the signs of being a filler, monster-of-the-week story. Small town mystery of disappearing teens puts the boys together on the road again chasing a case to get…
THEN: We see Rowena, the hell ghosts, Dean saying, “We’ll be free,” Dean stating that he’s angry, Chuck, Becky Rosen using her love potion on Sam, Chuck pleading with Amara, Chuck wincing at the unhealed bullet wound in his shoulder, Amara saying he is trapped.
Language warning ahead (and I’ve probably spoiled the rating already).
This episode has really stymied me. For some reason, I’m having a problem ordering my thoughts about what happened in the episode and how everyone behaved. Normally I don’t run into this problem because I try my best to pay attention to the characters and what they’re doing, but for some reason, this episode felt…
Thoughts on Supernatural 15.02 “Raising Hell” Rattled townspeople, organizing ghosts and familiar faces around every corner. For the second episode, “Raising Hell” sure has a lot in it by all accounts. We even got a glimpse into what Chuck is up to while the Winchesters and Co work on picking up the pieces of his…
Do you want the good new or the bad news first? I never know how to answer when that question is asked of me. In the case of Supernatural’s episode 15.02, however, I think I would prefer to cover the bad news first so we can end the discussion of “Raising Hell” on a good…
THEN: Chuck says this isn’t how the story is supposed to end. Dean yells that it’s not a story; it’s their lives. “Story’s over; welcome to the end,” says Chuck. Jack gets his eyes burned out. Belphegor appears. The ghosts chase Sam and Cas down a suburban street. NOW: A white sign – Road Closed…
