(Editor’s Note: I’m going to send apologies up front. I know that many of you come here for Nightsky’s “Threads” on Friday and expect a very upbeat spin on things. Unfortunately, her review must be deferred to next week so you get my two cents first. I don’t like playing the curmudgeon, but “The Spear”…
Dean’s voice is heard talking about how their family fights monsters and how someday it would be nice if monsters were scared of them. THEN: Michael/Dean killing Lucifer, Michael taking over Dean, Michael enhancing the monsters, Jack getting sick and dying, Dark Kaia and the spear, the Empty and Cas’ deal, and Jack being alive…
As the Supernatural fandom eagerly awaits (and simultaneously dreads) the final chapters in season 12’s story, we have a one week break to consider what heartbreak might be in store for our heroes this year. A recent Supernatural convention participant reported that Jensen said this finale will be the hardest he and Jared have ever…
Last week we enjoyed the rerun of “Bad Boys”, which was the seventh episode in Supernatural’s 9th season. Typical of hiatus programming, this week The CW skipped ahead several episodes, so instead of following the methodical development of the plots, we jumped ahead to 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”. Unfortunately, the omitted episodes were crucial to all…
So much to say about this episode and yet not much to talk about at the same time. This episode served largely as a pallet cleanser after the heart-stopping, mind-numbing dramatic roller coasters of late and didn’t do a bad job over all. The general plot was satisfying and didn’t stray too far away from…
Supernatural has always peppered its seasons with stand alone episodes—but what makes them work is how they manage to loop back in some way to the overall story. These episodes allow them to look at other creatures and mythologies. This gives the show a chance to expand the world of the Winchesters beyond just the…
Supernatural University: Accept, Let Go, And Move On; Lessons from Garth This is the latest in a series of articles on life lessons we can learn from Supernatural characters. My subject this time is Garth Fitzgerald IV. I think Garth has particularly valuable lessons to teach about living a happy life by accepting that some…
Well. Hmmm. This was a hard episode for me. I didn’t enjoy it. When I get a strong negative reaction to an episode, I try and let it sit for a bit, simmer in the background. What I’m hoping comes to the surface is a sense of which parts I’m not enjoying because the story…
I’ve got to be honest. This episode left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Going into the episode I was expecting a bit of comic relief after last week’s awesome drama-fest. But what I got instead was a whole lot of awkward tension. There was some comedy, but not enough to relieve that…
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Sharp Teeth,” then beware spoilers ahead! (From Alice – please take the snark you’re about to read in good humored fun.) Summary: This episode opens with Farmer Jim plowing out of his house because someone’s tipping cows in his pasture. He shoots at the cowtipper, who runs…
This next episode is Garth centric and wow, we have almost no other information about it.
Supporting characters on Supernatural are often welcomed with skepticism. Part of that attitude is ingrained in viewers because we have learned that attaching to a character can lead to heartbreak. The show does not shy away from killing characters and even if it brings them back, such as in the case with Bobby or Rufus,…
