Picking Supernatural’s 75 Essential Episodes – Season 12

As I was looking for a way to pass the quarantine summer doldrums, I saw Entertainment Weekly’s list of what it considered to be the 75 most ‘essential’ episodes of Supernatural, leading up to Season 15. Since any excuse for a rewatch is a good excuse, I figured I’d not only invite my Supernatural “Team Free Will…

Dear Meredith, Thank you for a stunning, emotionally captivating “Byzantium”.

Thoughts on Supernatural 13.03: “Patience”

A return to the more classic horror story-style structure with some familiar faces for a dash of nostalgic flavour, Supernaturalwas almost an old-school installment this week with a basic storyline, peppered with Jack’s journey and Sam’s role as a mentor.

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.23 “All Along The Watchtower” aka A Death and Plot Hole Fiesta

  I struggle with Andrew Dabb scripts. While Robert Berens turned his script into a work of art, Dabb’s “All Along the Watchtower” felt like a story was thrown at us with a lot of random bits and we got to see what stuck to the wall.  Some of it that did stick just looked…

Thoughts on Supernatural 12.22 & 12.23: The Season 12 Finale

Thoughts on Supernatural 12.22 & 12.23: The Season 12 Finale

Who We Are and All Along the Watchtower were excellent, both independent and united. Season twelve has had some decent episodes and has been sluggish about some key plots, no question. The payoff here makes the waiting worth it. Between character and story, 12.22 and 12.23 offer not only answers we’ve been looking for but…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.19 – “The Future”

Huh, that was interesting.  That’s good “interesting.”  I can’t explain how or why, but I thought this was a well done hour.  I’ve been really missing Castiel and I’ve been skeptical about this whole Luci baby drama.  I like this turn.  Is the baby good or evil?  Please let it be good.  That would be…
