Finally Season 10 of Supernatural starts tonight!
Finally Season 10 of Supernatural starts tonight!
We have been tracking the threads of season 9 for the past 23 episodes. The finale’s dramatic conclusion resolved many of clues we followed, proving or disproving our theories and speculations. It also opened up a whole host of new questions, though, providing a cliffhanger ending that pulls us kicking and screaming into season 10….
I don’t usually write reviews. I choose instead to analyze plot intricacies as they are presented in each episode. I like watching storylines unfold, week after week, finding clues and embedded themes. I like discovering the subtleties of writing that characterize and underscore so much of Supernatural’s success. Yet it has been a full week…
The second half of season nine introduced two formidable weapons. Each one had its strengths, weaknesses, and consequences. Each were taken up by their respective characters as a means to an end—to fill in the “I did what I had to do” piece of the over all season puzzle. These weapons shaped not only the…
I had to take some time to process the finale, because the first time through, despite the stellar acting, I was emotionally distanced and underwhelmed. I wasn’t surprised at the final five seconds, having thought Dean as demon had been telegraphed since Cain told his story and several times since. But I wasn’t comfortable with…
Summary “Carry On My Wayward Son” always makes me tear up, as does the recap. Dean’s imprisonment reminds me of Sam’s. Dean hacking up blood, not good. Metatron only responds to God. Lol. Story of love? Where’s HIS love? I do like his angel PA system. Going on a short trip
We’ve finally hit the season finale. It looks like it will be a corker!
Back in early season nine a fellow blogger who shall remain nameless confided to me that they saw a big issue with “Supernatural.” Carver and his writing team had no concrete plan -one hadn’t been spelled out yet. If it ended up being that way by midseason, the season would fall apart before the end. After…
In the back half of season nine, episode titles have had great significance. Some have literal meaning—as seen in “#Thinman” or “Meta Fiction.” Others have elements of metaphor like “Captives,” speaking to the emotion of grief or “The Purge,” about cutting out the bad and building upon the good. Some connect to a character—as seen…
Supernatural’s “King of the Damned” was one of writing duo Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner’s better efforts. The episode was still plagued with unnecessary continuity errors and handled fan commentary with a good deal less finesse than Ben Edlund, but we finally got some real movement forward. RIP, Abbadon.
“King of the Damned” is a representation of everything good and right and wonderful about Supernatural. Oh, did I come on too strong? Well, I meant it. This episode did not quit from beginning to end and left me with my jaw on the floor. It was especially refreshing to have a Winchester-centric episode after the…
1. Loved this episode, and not just because Dean killed off Abaddon’s in a wonderful scene. The brothers seem to be rebuilding their relationship again. Give this one a nine. You?
