“I have to say, I think this is my best torture yet.”nbsp; Me thinks that’s Sera Gamble’s subtle little way of saying she’s having a ton of fun messing with us. Another season premiere is among us and I have to say, this is a damned good one. No doubt about it, “Meet The…
“Meet The New Boss” Season 7, Episode 1 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel We are given a marvelous montage of season 6 and a few snippets of other seasons as the song “Slow Ride” by Foghat plays. It’s made clear that it’s all about the souls, from Castiel to Crowley to Death, all…
A Firm Hand: “Be obedient, children, or this will be your fate.” The new God-Cas is nothing like the unsure and awkward angel we’ve known until now and I miss the confused head tilt. The startling image of slain angels, blackened wing silhouettes stark against the grass as Cas delivers a military-esque decree to the…
WARNING!!!!!! If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode of “Supernatural,” read no further! There will be plot discussion and spoilers and other things you won’t want to read unless you have seen the episode. Consider yourself warned! If you’re still here, let’s do this!
Tear down the wall! Tear down the wall! Yes, that is from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”, which I strangely chanted after poor Sam Winchester was left screaming his fool head off in the mid-season cliffhanger.

Open Couch, Appointment in Samarra Or How do you define human dignity? A quite literally ensouled episode. Looks like the resident therapist here is going to have some serious work with Sam (and Dean won’t be far behind, I reckon). Thank God there’s a hiatus and we can take our time to work out some…

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…
This week Supernatural ends the first half of the season with “Appointment in Samarra,” an episode featuring the return of two familiar faces, Death, one of the four horsemen from the myth arc of last season, and Tessa the reaper from “In My Time of Dying’ (2.01) and “Death Takes a Holiday” (4.15). (Just a…
–-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…
Thoughts on Two Minutes to Midnight As second to last episodes go, this one didn’t disappoint. From the opening teaser to the last frame of Dean’s troubled face, my eyes were glued to the screen. What I loved about this episode: Castiel The return of our angel! He’s not quite an angel anymore…
