“Appointment in Samarra” Episode 6/11 –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Through a secret entrance in Chinatown, Dean goes downstairs to visit a mysterious doctor who knew his father. He squeezes Dean’s cheeks and says, “That was ages ago, when I still had my medical license. Right this way.” “I’m no germ freak,” says…
I’m going to love doing this recap. It’s a feel good episode! I haven’t done one of these in so long. There are lots of shout outs to prior episodes, so let’s see if I get them all. Plus it’s the directorial debut of Jensen Ackles, so I’ll be throwing in a few directors critiques here…
The hubby and I were all settled in, watching “Weekend at Bobby’s” when about half way through my husband casually said something I haven’t heard from him in a while. “I really like this”. I wholeheartedly agreed. It’s not that my husband doesn’t enjoy “Supernatural,” he does, but this episode was so pleasantly different. That’s…
Happy episode day everyone! This is a pretty important one from a milestone perspective. It’s the directorial debut of Jensen Ackles! Couple this is Smallville’s 200th episode and it’s a big night for The CW. So, how did Jensen do? Or for those that really don’t notice the director’s tricks, how was the episode in…
Happy Birthday Jumblejim! Jim Beaver, @Jumblejim and Beav to all his twidjits, is our beloved Bobby Singer on Supernatural, and August 12th he is celebrating his 60th birthday. Well love by all his cast members, Beaver has been a stable and consistent actor on the show, and the only character the writers have remain…
(Photo courtesy of Staying In) Jim Beaver came to us with one of his usual eye catching t-shirts, a clever no smoking symbol with the words “There are cooler ways to die.” He was also wearing a hat that said “Idgits.” He thought the shirt was relevant to the show and the hat he had gotten that…
I’m going to warn you all right now, this is a 100 percent lovefest. I think many people were unfairly critical of the episode and I’m determined to spell out in exhaustive detail why every single scene is sheer calcuated brilliance. Oh, but in doing that, you’re also in store for one crazy ass long recap. Seriously, it’s…
Open Couch – Swan Song Or “Death Shall Have No Dominion” A moment of some blinding reflection of sunlight, caught on the shiny metal of a 1967 Chevrolet Impala captures the eye of a young man entrapped and immobilized within his own body and reminds him of numerous memories of a…
Kripke’s Love Letter; Swan Song – by Elle2 Someone wrote [BuddyTV perhaps] that In The Beginning was a love letter from Eric Kripke to the fans. Not fully understanding the concept I couldn’t decide if I agreed or not, now having watched Swan Song, I get it; Swan Song is Eric’s love letter to the…
“Swan Song” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Our THEN recap begins with “Carry On, My Wayward Son,” what I consider to be the anthem of the Winchester family, and I begin to cry at the very first note. I cry even harder when they show us the explosion that led to the death of Ellen…
–-Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Pestilence, posing as Dr. Green, sits at the bedside of “My favorite patient, Celeste,” who he has infected with the common cold, Dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis. Just to be a real prick, he also adds chicken pox, and counts down as his “proprietary blend, mixed in a petrie…
(Please note, this recap was written a few days before “Two Minutes to Midnight” aired. So some questions I raised do get answered.) Cranking out these recaps every week is proving to be a challenge. We’re getting down to the wire though so I plug on! Let’s get started. If there’s a profound weak spot to this…
