And here we are, back in business! Hellatus over! Hooray! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have “Supernatural” back. Seriously. I spent the afternoon beaming! I had a day off work so I actually watched it live (don’t ask me how ‘k?) and I was so chirpy after it, which is…
Season 8 of Supernatural has played with various themes. It has looked at choice, personal responsibility, good intentions, and grief. In “A Little Slice of Kevin,” we see another theme, that of perception, addressed directly. It has been there in various ways throughout the season, yet here we see it thrust out into the open,…
Episode 7, Season 8 A Little Slice of Kevin Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel We go to the idyllic setting of Randy Raccoon Pre-School, where, while a great wind blows, a demon disappears into a restroom with Aaron, a cute little boy covered in paint–and kidnaps him. The other kids run for cover, screaming; an…
I promised it, and I’m delivering! After my procedure Tuesday, I have risen like a phoenix from the ashes (preferably one that has reformed and/or hasn’t killed so I can get the Winchester brothers to decide not to do me in…) and am working on my review. O.K., I’m being a little melodramatic…it really wasn’t…
Thoughts on “A Little Slice of Kevin” Season eight of “Supernatural” has been one of my favourites thus far. It’s up there among season four (my favourite season bar none) and season five, my second favourite season, though season eight is certainly edging up there. The writing this season has been strong and feels…
Maybe I should be disappointed that “A Little Slice of Kevin” showed no aftermath of the war of the Winchesters from the week before. I was expecting some tension, possibly a little hostility, definitely an undercurrent of anger. Maybe I should be disappointed that we didn’t get that. But, I simply can’t seem to give…
So the “little slice of Kevin” referenced in this week’s episode title turned out to be quite literal. See what happens when you don’t listen to Sam and Dean? The King of Hell abducts you and chops off your pinky. There’s a cautionary tale for you, kids. Let’s face it, Mrs. Tran and Kevin have…
WARNING!!!!! If you haven’t seen “A Little Slice of Kevin,” read no further! There will be discussions of the episode, and it will spoil you. So don’t do it!!! If you have watched, come on in, the water’s fine.
Preview time. I’m all stocked up on cookies, tissues and (sort of) ready! So let’s start thinking about the next episode.
8.02: What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?: It’s About The Sacrifice What’s the price of peace? Mother’s soul for her son’s life; Dean’s Winchester guilt. Commentary and Meta Analysis I will apologize in advance, because this one’s going to be short and shallow given the current strictures on my time. I hope to be able…
I have come to the conclusion that I really need to stop playing on twitter when I am watching a television show. On the one hand, I love the opportunity to converse with other people as crazy about a show as I am! But on the other hand, there is the problem with–well, missing things…Like…
Meg warned the Winchesters in “Reading Is Fundamental” that “Crowley’s always the problem. He’s just waiting for the right moment to strike.” In “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy,” Crowley shows that he’s more than ready to be the big bad standing in Sam and Dean’s way. He is cunning, conniving, and out for blood. He is…
