As a long time fan, I just don’t know what to say. I’m usually open to a show re-inventing itself. I’m usually open to the idea of creative license. I’m usually open to pushing character studies over real action (at times). But I absolutely hated “The Things We Left Behind.” As in fire spewing, cursing…
It’s the penultimate episode of the season. Here’s what we know.
Hi! I’m back! Last week Alice was kind enough to fill in for me as I finished off my Texan adventure. But now, I’m back home and the season is back in full swing and it’s time for another spoiler-lite preview! Are you ready?
8.19 Taxi Driver: No Reason To Think I Won’t See You Again Somewhere Down The Road Reaper shows the way. Sam frees Bobby’s Hell-trapped soul; Benny says goodbye.
Episodes like “Taxi Driver” are a struggle for me. I had the same problem with last season’s “The Born-Again Identity.” The possibilities are oh so amazing, yet the execution just ends up falling short. It becomes an internal struggle at review time between my inner TV critic and my inner fan girl. Those two bitches…
Hang on to your hats, or trucker caps, or fisherman caps or whatever it is you feel you need to hang on to (hey, Dean, over here!), because this episode looks like it might be a cracker, though 2 things may prevent that…
BLOOD BROTHER Episode 5, Season 8 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A man walks suspiciously along the docks, and is greeted by Benny. “Hello Quentin.” Quentin is shocked, unable to believe Benny is alive. “I get the confusion. You of all people knew I was truly, truly dead. After all you held down my…
I feel I should part with a nasty secret. I always get performance anxiety when I do a review of a Ben Edlund episode…will I be able to do the episode justice? Will I only miss a little of the imagery I wanted to talk about?
I have a confession,I’m as much a fan of Ben Edlund as I am anyone else associated with this show. This is not to say I have pictures of him around my room, I don’t,but I’m not adverse to the idea. Would I like to meet him? Yes. Have a photo with him? Yes. Spend…
A human, angel, and vampire walk into a bar…tell me if you’ve heard this one. Sorry, its an Edlund script. Might as well start with a joke. Fine, “Blood Brother” was one of his heavier scripts, but it goes to prove you’re never sure what you’re gonna get from Ben except a well written story. …
WARNING!!!!! If you haven’t seen “Blood Brother” yet, read no further! There will be spoilers, discussion, blood, Elton John puns!!!! But seriously, don’t read if you haven’t watched. And if you have, let’s do this!!!!!!!!!
You know how you watch some episodes and you’re so engrossed in the plot you go “Wow, that hour just flew right by!” This was not one of those episodes. I did a rewatch right away, not because I thought it was thrilling or anything, I just wanted to figure out what it was about…
