“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…

Ah, Thursday night – at last you return with my Supernatural fix. I settled in with my tea, ready to continue on the Apocalyptic adventure with the Winchesters. But wait, what’s this? A basketball game? That can’t be right! Sadly, it was. Yes, the first new Supernatural episode in months was pre-empted by a basketball…
Ah, the polarizing stand alone episode. You know, going through this one in detail, I did come up with some nitpicks I hadn’t noticed before. I still loved it though. So let’s get started. First, there’s no “Now” segment, which instantly tells us this episode runs long. I have no objections whatsoever. The past couple…
(From Alice): I have elle’s fantastic review for “The Curious Case of Dean Winchester.” Considering this is especially a polarizing episode, its always good to get another great point of view and she gives a good one.
