Another win for Season Ten, and a great one at that. “Hibbing 911” was, as so many episodes have been this season, an exceptional mix of fun and drama. Playing heavily in the humour pool this time through, the episode focused largely on Jodi Mills and Donna Hanscum with their burgeoning friendship more forefront…
I broke my own rule. I read reviews and comments about “Hibbing 911” before “Threads” was completely finished. I just couldn’t help myself. I liked the episode so much that I was curious if the Supernatural family was basking in the rare phenomenon of a universal love fest. What I found was very interesting. The…
Episodes like “Hibbing 911” are hard to look at too critically. The intent is light fun and filler before we get to the meaty stuff and as far as filler goes, I liked it. Once in a while you’ve got to change it up and give the lead characters a rest, and this worked well…
Summary: This awesomesauce episode was written by Jenny Klein and features the return of two favorite female characters, Jody Mills and Donna Hanscum from last year’s “The Purge.”
We are coming up on episode eight, the last episode before the mid-season finale. What do we know?
Another Comic Con has come and gone. Many of the videos have been viewed and re-viewed and minds are swirling with the potential that hopefully will be fulfilled in ten short weeks. (Yes, it really is short provided one does not check the countdown clock every, single day….good luck with that.) I find myself more…
Recently, a New York Times article discussed Supernatural’s longevity. They cited everything from Sam’s hair to Netflix and syndication deals to the loyalty of fans to the brothers themselves as the reasons for the show’s long running success. All of these things are crucial for why the show has endured as long as it has,…
This week’s Supernatural episode solidified writer Robert Berens as a stand out in the writing room. When Ben Edlund departed the series last season, he took with him a sense of whimsy and a sense of theme, a willingness to experiment grounded in a solid understanding of story. He left a space that needed to…
I was ecstatic when Metatron held up a thread from Castiel’s coat and said “This is the curious incident…”! Threads! Metatron, the ultimate writer, acknowleded that a story is woven together (or in his case, unravelled) by layers of minutely detailed, intricate threads. Hurray! We must be on the right track if Robbie Thompson, the…
Anyone else feel like they just stepped into a time machine? “Alex Annie Alexis Ann” was the epitome of a classic episode of Supernatural. Not only did we have monster(s) of the week, but we had both Winchesters getting knocked out, Sam was tied to a chair, and Dean took joy in cutting the head…
Questions: 1. This episode wins 10/10 from me. It was a superb standalone, and I loved every minute of it. Bravo to the writer, director, actors! 2. Jody’s hair is too short. Agree or disagree, just my opinion.
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Alex Annie Alexis Ann,” then beware spoilers ahead! Episode Summary: This was a good old fashioned monster of the week episode written by Robert Berens and featuring my favorite guest star, Kim Rhodes aka Sheriff Mills. The episode begins with the capture and arrest of a young…
