Episodes like “Goodbye Stranger” can be so damned frustrating. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it was a stellar episode, one of the best of the season, but it left me screaming for more. I want to know what happens next and I want to know now! (Commence major foot stomping and object throwing at this…
Well hello “Supernatural” you’re on fire baby! “Goodbye Stranger” was damn fine. I can easily judge how much I dig an episode by how much noise I make and at one stage I was a tad worried that me screaming “No, no, no” at my television might have my neighbours calling the cops! (Alas they…
Goodbye Stranger: Demons, Dirt and Deviation It’s been a while since my last SPN review here at the Winchester Family Business, and boy is it good to be back! So, without further ado let’s talk about Goodbye Stranger. It was an odd mesh of characters, old and new themes and a good send off…
Sometimes this show just blows my mind. Lucky for me, it’s been doing that a lot this season. It’s been awhile since we talked about the tablets, Naomi, Cass or Crowley.

Sunday the 13th was Kim Manner’s birthday. Even though he passed away back in 2009, I can’t help but wonder when I watch a scene what Kim would have done with it. On Saturday the 12th, really with not much prior plannning, a few of us decided to watch a few episodes in honor of…
“Torn and Frayed” is an aptly named episode. The song, from the Rolling Stones album Exile on Mainstreet, and its lyrics touch on two of its storylines: Dean and Benny and Sam and Amelia. The lyric reads, “Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away.” In this particular episode, the…
“I can’t enjoy a world I need to save, Dean. I can enjoy it when this is all over with. Right now, there’s nothing more important than this.” Kevin pretty much summed up this entire episode in one sentence. It’s an important lesson, putting all else above your happiness, but that’s probably why in the…
And here we are, back in business! Hellatus over! Hooray! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have “Supernatural” back. Seriously. I spent the afternoon beaming! I had a day off work so I actually watched it live (don’t ask me how ‘k?) and I was so chirpy after it, which is…
