Brief recap: First, I love Robbie Thompson. I love his scripts. I love his reading of the Winchesters. I just love him. This episode was strong in many ways but it also fell short in some, at least for me. The episode begins with a flashback sequence to 1935 and two what seem like agents…
This episode was all about trust, appearances and faith. Not the standard depiction that Supernatural has presented in the past, but a completely new spin on the subject. As humans, we walk through our lives and go through the entire spectrum of trust, ranging from absolute and total faith to complete and everlasting suspicion right…
The third episode takes the threads of the young season and blends them into a complex and emotional story. On one hand, we have Castiel coping with being rendered human, and on the other we have the brothers dealing with the fall out from the fallen angels while trying to find their former angel friend….
Let me start off by saying….. I am so thankful that the makeup this season is not all golden and overdone – or as a friend said to me – all Malibu Ken tan! It’s so lovely to see Dean’s freckles. Another friend of mine once called them “school girl freckles”. The way they…
Usually I take several days to think about a new episode before creating theories. I rewatch the show, read several reviews for explanations and insights, and I let time synthesize all the input. This week, however, I don’t have that luxury as Thursday I start my adventures with ChiCon (My second con. I’m hyper excited!)….
Coming into this episode it was clear that it was going to be Cass-centered, primarily focused on the angel’s search for him. I was expecting a few knock down, drag out fights between Cass and whatever angel dared to hunt him down. What I got was actually quite sad and sobering. Cass is not an…
Robin’s Rambles, Season 9, Episode 3 – I’m No Angel *Let’s start with the three heartbreaking words that ended this episode, spoken from Dean to Cas: “You can’t stay.” Oh, the confusion on poor Cas’ face! He thought he had found refuge with family, and now he’s being cast out of the bunker? To where?
It’s preview time for the 3rd episode of season 9. What? I feel like we were just waiting for the season to start and we’re already looking at episode 3! Anyhoo, confession time. I loved last week’s episode sooooooo much (could ya tell?), that I didn’t want to watch any previews and spoil my buzz…so…
The second episode of the ninth season of Supernatural shows us exactly why this show has endured and thrived for this long. Originally, the series was billed in the horror genre—filled with monsters and ghosts and gore galore. The goal was to explore what goes bump in the night and to investigate what frightens us…
Funny thing about loose threads. Weave enough strong threads together and you will get a colorful, coherent tapestry that tells an epic story. Pull on weak threads individually, though, and they will unravel and fall to the ground, to be swept away as meaningless clutter… Season 8 was so volatile (controversial, disappointing episodes followed by…
No contest, our quote of the night came from (of course) Crowley: “Really putting the s-a-m into S and M.”
Spoiler alert: I loved this episode. I thought maybe I should just get that out there because I may squee a little (even more than usual).
