It’s time for the mid-season finale and it’s looking like it will be a big episode. So, what do we know about it?
It’s time for the mid-season finale and it’s looking like it will be a big episode. So, what do we know about it?
Where to even begin to talk about this one? So many plot threads, so little time. Some were wrapped up, some were newly woven and left to dangle for another day. Finally, season ten seems to be gearing up towards some heat and drama just in time to leave us at the edge of a…
The fast and furious version of “Girls, Girls, Girls”! I loved it!
I enjoyed “Girls, Girls, Girls”. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I loved it, because it wasn’t filled with intense brotherly moments of healing and hugs, but it moved quickly and held my attention with a series of completely unexpected myth arc twists. The plot was intricately woven and the motivations were genuine…
There we go, some actual, fluid, well paced and just plain well written story telling! One of the glaring weaknesses with a majority of the “Supernatural” scripts over the last four or five seasons has been the inability to juggle multiple overlapping stories at once. Heck, they aren’t even good at tackling two strong character…
Disease has consumed the headlines in the last month—from the Ebola outbreak to the Enterovirus 68—and as a result we’ve seen fear and concern ratchet up for the nation’s safety, security, and health. But our fear dates much father back. Our fear of disease is perhaps one of our oldest—along with a fear of the…
I adored this episode. I suspect Dean is not really cured. I’m worried for the future. Demon Dean was very scary. Dean is type O, John AB. Does that mean John wasn’t Dean’s father???

I’ve given myself a few days to reflect on “Soul Survivor” and a second viewing. I had to, because my initial impression was so negative. Well, it still is. Not everything, of course. Jensen Ackles’ direction was stellar, particularly the stalking scene but really the entire episode. What interest I had in “Soul Survivor” arose…
The biggest problem for a show in its tenth season is keeping the drama fresh. Expectations are high, and too many prior episodes have set a very high bar. Thanks to last week’s setup with the excellent episode “Reichenbach,” everything was laid out to deliver a compelling, jaw dropping, emotional drama. That’s where “Soul Survivor”…
Summary: The episode was written by Ross-Leming and Bruckner and directed by Jensen Ackles, who always does a superb job directing, as he did tonight. The episode follows three threads.
The monsters, demons, angels—and hunters—that populate the rich world of Supernatural excite, entertain, and thrill us each week. But its what they represent that keeps us coming back. Dig deeper, and we can see that each one captures a facet of ourselves. They can represent our hopes. They can represent our fears. They can represent…
