This has been a pretty exciting week for the “Supernatural” fandom. The big episode marking Misha’s return is finally upon us (meaning lots of media coverage), and then we get the blessed news that the Padababy has arrived (welcome Thomas Colton!). It’s never been a greater time to be a fan. Unfortunately, happy fan in…
Dean wondered in “Repo Man” when they would arrive on a case and end up running into some “big mouths.” Well, here it is. The case starts off simple. A ballerina dances herself to death, and the brothers pick up on it in a news story. They arrive in town and discover that it…
“Out With the Old” Episode 16 Season 7 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Irina, a snooty ballerina, practices after all the other dancers have already left. Her dancing is juxtaposed with the janitor cleaning the floor outside the gym. As the music crescendos, she is horrified to realize the ballet slippers have taken over…
“Supernatural” made a solid return this week with Out with the Old. It was a wonderful mix of monster of the week, advancement of the Leviathan arc (about time!) and some real attention to Sam’s Lucifer infestation. On top of all the obvious awesomeness that was this episode, there was also one of the most…
Originally I was going to wait and write this review later in the week (for a number of reasons including exam induced study-recluse status which I only come out of for Supernatural) but after that episode, I felt too inspired to let it lie, even for a couple days. Right off the bat I’m going…
I have made a mistake. As some, or a few, or several, or none (I really have no idea) may have noticed, I never wrote a review for both “Adventures In Babysitting” and “Time After Time.” While I had given myself a few good reasons for not doing this, it was only this week that…
Opening with a rock montage recap of the season so far actually had me feeling pretty good about how the first episode back would shake down. All our favourite players were on the board in the recap and reminded us exactly where we left off, as well as the storylines that are still hanging. The…
All hunters in Supernatural have their reasons for why they do it. They all started because a loved one was killed by a supernatural creature””demon, ghost, monster, it matters not. In “Adventures In Babysitting,” we explore this””and see the counter argument for why perhaps one should not. Hunting has high costs. The initial loss…
A special message from Alice: I’m very excited to announce that we have a new member of our writing team! After recommending her reviews for the last few months on our Review Roundups, I asked sweetondean to share her refreshing passion for Supernatural with us here at The Winchester Family Business as a staff writer….
Adventures in Babysitting Episode 11, Season 7 Robin’s Ramblings by Robin Vogel REO Speedwagon’s “Riding the Storm Out” plays over the opening montage. A man in a diner watches another man go off with a hooker, and he is so preoccupied, he pays little attention to the blond waitress, Marlene. He drops a…
What happened to Dean’s beer? This is the biggest question I took away from this week’s episode. There was a lot going on in this midseason premier and some other important questions were raised, but this is the one that is sticking around and driving me nuts. Sam had a point when he told Dean…
Warning!!! If you haven’t watched tonight’s episode or seen the preview for next week’s episode, read no further! There will be discussion of plot and other such things you may not want to read. You have been warned! (Here there be dragons.)
