It’s been a while since I’ve seen “Freaks and Geeks” so I wondered at first exactly why I don’t remember liking it. My answer came in the second scene. It didn’t improve from there.

Hunting has a premise that makes it seem rather simple: supernatural creatures killing humans must be stopped. In theory it’s easy to understand and do. In practice, however, it becomes apparent that there is much more to it than that. It’s dangerous, deadly, and often much more complex underneath the surface. A job may not…
Thoughts on “Supernatural”: 8×18: Freaks and Geeks – by Elle Like a good drama should, Supernatural has always been fairly adept at knowing when to break with the heavy episodes and when to keep us wringing our hands and searching for the anti-anxiety meds for weeks on end. Some have undoubtedly felt frustrated this season…
Off the back of what was a cracker of a mythology episode, this week’s “Supernatural” was a filler (not that there’s anything wrong with that). But that didn’t stop the script giving plenty of nods to the past. It’s something that’s been so very enjoyable in season 8, an acknowledgment of and continuity with…
When I saw the preview for “Freaks and Geeks” I think I got the wrong idea. I’m not sure if the preview was misleading or if I was making assumptions, but I thought this episode was going to be about a school for young hunters. Kind of like Hogwarts for hunters where kids would go…

It’s preview time, The 6th last episode of the season! Noooooooo! And it appears to be a filler. Noooooooo! Ok, let’s take a look.
I have made a mistake. As some, or a few, or several, or none (I really have no idea) may have noticed, I never wrote a review for both “Adventures In Babysitting” and “Time After Time.” While I had given myself a few good reasons for not doing this, it was only this week that…
Opening with a rock montage recap of the season so far actually had me feeling pretty good about how the first episode back would shake down. All our favourite players were on the board in the recap and reminded us exactly where we left off, as well as the storylines that are still hanging. The…
All hunters in Supernatural have their reasons for why they do it. They all started because a loved one was killed by a supernatural creature””demon, ghost, monster, it matters not. In “Adventures In Babysitting,” we explore this””and see the counter argument for why perhaps one should not. Hunting has high costs. The initial loss…
A special message from Alice: I’m very excited to announce that we have a new member of our writing team! After recommending her reviews for the last few months on our Review Roundups, I asked sweetondean to share her refreshing passion for Supernatural with us here at The Winchester Family Business as a staff writer….
Adventures in Babysitting Episode 11, Season 7 Robin’s Ramblings by Robin Vogel REO Speedwagon’s “Riding the Storm Out” plays over the opening montage. A man in a diner watches another man go off with a hooker, and he is so preoccupied, he pays little attention to the blond waitress, Marlene. He drops a…
