We start our run to the finish this week with Meta Fiction. It looks like a big episode. Cas reunites with Sam and Dean. Metatron and Gadreel both make a return. Here’s what we know.
How have you liked Supernatural’s season 9 so far? Has it been “Divine” as promised? We are just past the mid-point in the season, with 13 episodes behind us and 10 episodes ahead of us. Since there are no new shows to discuss during this three week hiatus, it is the perfect time to reflect…
Setting aside my overwhelming emotional reaction to the brilliant acting, storytelling and production that resulted in “Road Trip” for just a few minutes, let’s put our heads together and analyze how the episode contributed to the myth arc and plot threads of season nine! Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram),…
The first half of season nine explored Castiel’s experience as the new Adam, the fall of angels from Heaven, and the aftermath of the Trials—particularly that of Dean allowing Gadreel to possess his brother, Sam. We watched each of these stories reflect or weave around a particular center—the Garden of Eden and the Fall of…
Healing Journeys Thank you, Andrew Dabb, for giving me such an amazing episode for my first review on this site. “Road Trip” has it all—excellent writing, excellent performances, and excellent personal and mythological arc development. I have enjoyed season nine so far, but I had a few niggling doubts about the exploration of the brothers’…
Think in terms of bridges burned Think of seasons that must end See the rivers rise and fall They will rise and fall again Everything must have an end Like an ocean to a shore Like a river to a stream Like a river to a stream It’s the famous final scene And how you…
* A hunter’s funeral for Kevin. Sad Dean. Tran family photos in phone. Sad song. *Payback is a bitch as Gadreel goes to a rock concert to find a fellow angel named Thaddeus who used to torture him in prison and has taken as a vessel a rock star. Gadreel stabs him to death.
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Road Trip,” then beware spoilers ahead! Summary: The episode opens with a long awaited Bob Seger song, “The Famous Final Scene.” The song plays as we see Dean mourn for Kevin and destroy the bunker living room in his rage. The episode centers around Dean and Castiel…
It never fails whenever returning from a mid-winter break. It’s that point in the season where we look backward with both fondness and scrutiny, yet at the same time hit that little “reset” button and move ahead with eager anticipation, just happy that we’re getting something different. Judging by the previews, different seems about right….
Thoughts on 9×09 – Holy Terror After the shell-shocking midseason finale, I’m still sifting through remnants of heart break and stunning revelations to pick of the pieces that have been left moving forward in the New Year. And what an ending this was – death, deception and divine alliances united for mass destruction that promise…
As expected, Supernatural’s mid-season finale sent emotional shock waves throughout fandom. Plot twists and revelations that have taken days to process. Numbness, disbelief and horror over Kevin’s death. Anger and concern for the desperate situations overtaking Sam and Dean. Relief and celebration yet trepidation for Castiel. Revulsion for Metatron.
