It is a tongue in cheek addition and an open discussion on the nature of story….

Far Away Eyes’ Review: Supernatural 8.20 – “Pac-Man Fever”

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. The other wolf is our best feelings: joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,…

Alice’s Full Recap: “Supernatural” 8.20, “Pac-Man Fever”

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.  I’ve always loved the recaps on Television Without Pity (other shows, not necessarily “Supernatural”) and I chose to do ones for “Supernatural” that were, I…

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…

Far Away Eyes’ Review – Supernatural 8.11 – “LARP and the Real Girl”

Mages, orcs, elves, and queens populate Moondoor—but what it really needs is a hero. Supernatural has always dealt with the reluctant hero. Each brother has begrudgingly accepted this mantle at one time or another. Every hunter is really a reluctant hero. There are really only two options: run from it or embrace it. That hero…
