Robin’s Rambles: Supernatural 10.10 “The Hunter Games”
“The Long Black Road” playing over The Road So Far was perfect. I loved the montage. It was one of my faves thus far and fit well with Dean’s current struggle against the Mark.

In the mid season finale, “The Things We Left Behind,” we learned exactly what Castiel and the Winchesters are truly fighting for: humanity. We saw it in several levels: from Castiel seeking out Claire to Dean’s fear of losing even more ground to the Mark. Humanity was valued in oh so many ways. But in…
Classic rock music has always been a uniquely treasured part of the storytelling and emotional magnetism of Supernatural. I was consequently intrigued with the music that so aptly framed The Road So Far.

I always take a cautious approach to any script that has Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner as the writers. My expectations are lower, as are my standards. What you get from these two is fairly basic stuff, and it’s always considered a good outing when they don’t butcher canon into a thousand bits and produce…
Summary: This episode was written by Ross-Lemming and Buckner and picks up where the last episode before hiatus left – in the aftermath of Dean’s “massacre.”
Before leaving Castiel, Hannah asked a very poignant question: “What of the humans, whose lives we sacrifice in the name of that mission, what of them?” She was discussing the angels and their endless abuses of human kind under the guise of the “mission,” but as we see in “The Things We Left Behind” this…
In the spirit of the holidays, WFB is giving you a great deal! We’ve got not two, not three, but FOUR reviews for the price of one in this Black Friday, “all opinions must go” sale. Actually this being a midseason finale, we thought we’d do a little something different and have a group of…
Reading the reactions to “The Things We Left Behind” has been very interesting. Alice very eloquently presented the reasons why the show completely failed, not only as a mid-season finale, but even as a filler episode in this series. I couldn’t disagree with a single argument she made, yet I also understand the viewpoints of…
This episode certainly bookended itself with intensity. The gooey centre was all about family drama, be it demonic or angelic. I liked this episode for a number of reasons. Though it did lack in a few spots, overall as a mid-season finale it hit all the right marks. Since it left me in an emotionally…
Given that this was the lead into hellatus, I wasn’t left as excited as I have been in the past, I must admit. Still, there were lots of good things in this ep, so let’s get to them.
As a long time fan, I just don’t know what to say. I’m usually open to a show re-inventing itself. I’m usually open to the idea of creative license. I’m usually open to pushing character studies over real action (at times). But I absolutely hated “The Things We Left Behind.” As in fire spewing, cursing…
This episode was written by Andrew Dabb and centers on Castiel and his reunion with Jimmy Novak’s daughter, Claire, and Crowley’s reunion with his mother, Rowena. Also threaded throughout the episode was the fear of the Mark of Cain reactivating.
