Wait, what’s this, a well-written, emotional, very entertaining Supernatural season ten episode? A Mark of Cain story that actually hit home??? Parallels that didn’t trigger a shower of falling anvils (although there was a drizzle or two). Be still my beating fan girl heart.

Summary: This episode was written by Robbie Thompson and features the return of fan favorite Charlie Bradbury. The last time we saw Charlie she was off on a quest and adventure to Oz with Dorothy, so let’s see what happens during her return.
It’s time for the next installment in Supernatural. What do we know about this episode?
Supernatural never shies away from the meta-fictional—and “Slumber Party” takes that tradition to new heights. Ever since the Tulpa hunt in “Hell House,” the acknowledgment that Supernatural is indeed fiction has been toyed with and brought to the forefront. It is a tongue in cheek addition and an open discussion on the nature of story….
Time for another spoiler-lite preview…what does this week have instore for us? THEN Angels And Demons And Reapers OH MY!
There is an old Native American proverb about our inner wolves. One wolf is full of our worst feelings: envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. That wolf also represents our fear.

Once upon a time, when this was a much smaller site and I inconceivably had more time in my life, I used to do these things called full length recaps.

So it’s official. Dean’s a hug-monster. The man truly does “wuz hugs” and I’m cool with it! Oh boy am I cool with it! I was excited for this episode from the beginning. I like Charlie; I like Robbie Thompson’s writing. I was thinking, this is going to be a fun filler! That’s what…
I did not expect this episode to bring on the waterworks quite so much. Maybe I’m just feeling overly sentimental as this season draws to a close but I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions during this episode. And I mean that in a good way. And the best part of it…

8.11 LARP And The Real Girl: Escaping Isn’t What It Used To Be Frustrated LARPer Binds fairy to kill rivals: Brave hearts win the day. Commentary and Meta Analysis I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! I don’t have a lot to say about it meta-wise, and being a standalone villain hunt, it didn’t…
Mages, orcs, elves, and queens populate Moondoor—but what it really needs is a hero. Supernatural has always dealt with the reluctant hero.
