I sat down and did the rewatch of “Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell” knowing that I didn’t remember a darned thing about the episode. After watching it, I’m not sure I ever watched it the first time! I know there were a couple on my “never watched” list so maybe this was one of them? …
Here it is, the last review for season nine. Thank freaking goodness. To say it was a chore rewatching and writing up reviews for this horrific season would be a massive understatement. It reminded me of everything I absolutely loathed about this season. The season where I almost quit watching “Supernatural” for good (multiple friends…
Can you say, “parallels galore”? That’s what “First Born” brings to the table, a twist on an old testament biblical story that always had Sam and Dean in mind when the Supernatural saga unfolded. Sure, Sam and Dean’s story wasn’t quite Cain and Abel, but thanks to the genius of Robbie Thompson, it became that…
Ben Edlund, one of the brilliant writers who shaped Supernatural‘s mythology in the first half of its groundbreaking 15-year run, penned 24 episodes in seasons 2 through 8. Some of his episodes, such as “Hollywood Babylon” (2.18), “Ghostfacers” (3.13), “Monster Movie” (4.05) and “The French Mistake” (6.15), were fun, creative departures from routine episodic television….
“I didn’t have a choice.” You DID! You just made the wrong one. Lots of times. I did like “Road Trip” more than “Holy Terror”. This is an Andrew Dabb script and like his others, it was inconsistency galore. Some things worked, some things didn’t. The biggest strength, Crowley was really freaking awesome. Every…
“Heaven Can’t Wait” is one episode where I didn’t remember ever seeing it or what it was about. So, for such a forgettable episode, this rewatch took me by surprise. It was actually good. A well deserved character study for Castiel based on his new circumstances as a human, and a smaller yet effective glimpse…
Ugh. You know, I went into this rewatch with an open mind. After all, I vaguely remembered Abaddon being a real bad ass, a wicked Ezekiel reveal, and some crap with Crowley. After revisiting, it’s all quite a downer. Still, “Devil May Care” wasn’t a total loss. Why don’t I do a “Good, Bad,…
Think you know #Supernatural? Let’s put all that time spent rewatching 327 hours of heart stopping broments to the test! Below are six questions to ponder for a few days. These aren’t trivia questions that ask for impossibly hard details you never notice because you are holding your breath in terror and/or staring at the…
“A Little Slice of Kevin” is an odd duck. It’s clearly a continuation of “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?” This time the writers are Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming, and I did like this more than Dabb and Loflin’s episode 8.02. The issue is, it’s the seventh episode of a season that’s clearly getting off to…
So, I watched “What’s Up Tiger Mommy?” for the first time since it aired in season 8. Now I know why I didn’t watch this again. What a freaking mess. The bad title ended up being the least of the issues. Remember how the season premiere, “We Need to Talk About Kevin” felt very disjointed? …
“We Need to Talk About Kevin” really should have been titled, “We need to talk about Sam and Dean.” Things just didn’t feel right with them. That was probably intentional, but given this was a highly anticipated season opener, it didn’t win many accolades from the masses. For the record, I loved season 8. However,…
Welcome Back to my vision of the end of Sam and Dean’s fight to save the world! “With or Without You” is a multi-part, complex tale that brings the Supernatural saga to a close in a way that’s quite different than the “Unity”/”Despair”/”Inherit the Earth” finale that was presented in season 15. Yes, there’s mystery, danger, old friends…
