This week’s episode was written by Andrew Dabb and directed by Bob Singer. The episode begins with a recap of the previous episodes and then shows us Mary at a diner in Lawrence, Kansas, sipping her coffee. She gets a call from Castiel, and he asks her to meet him at the bunker. The episode…
Are you ready for part three of the Christmas story? If you missed the opening chapters of this year’s Christmas in the bunker with the Winchesters, you’ll want to go back to read Part 1 and Part 2 before continuing. After this we have still two parts to go.
“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.” — Buddha At the moment, Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox is actually my favorite episode of this season. It felt like old times…
Welcome back to the Memorable Moments series! Once again I put together a list of what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from Supernatural season 12. This week’s focus is 12.06, “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox”. The list varies from episode to episode depending on what has transpired. I hope you…
“Karma brings us ever back to rebirth, binds us to the wheel of births and deaths. Good Karma drags us back as relentlessly as bad, and the chain which is wrought out of our virtues holds as firmly and as closely as that forged from our vices.” — Annie Besant I guess I should start this…
“Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox” is perfectly named. Amidst mourning a death, we see life truly cherished and celebrated. After all, dying is easy. It is living that is hard to do.
Like much of season 12 to date, there is a pleasant classic flavour to Asa Fox without sacrificing original, fresh storytelling along the way.

The Morning After Last week I added this “Morning After” commentary to my traditional “Threads” review. This new section allows me to record then let go of any strong, emotional reactions to the week’s Supernatural story before I attempt to analytically examine it for plot threads. I write this section first, before time or analysis…
Three stories are told of Grief, Selfishness, and Freedom. While performing a cleansing ritual, Berens Forms the Cast, and opens Doors to an unshackled future.
The Morning After I’m still reeling from seeing Supernatural’s third episode this season, “The Foundry”. Saturated with mother’s instincts and parental grief, this story was emotionally exhausting. The hunt was about captive children who appealled to a mother to rescue them because she was the only one who sensed their need. Through most of the…
This week episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Robert Singer and is titled “The Foundry.” The cold open begins with a hipster couple leaving a swanky restaurant. They are talking when they stop in front of an abandoned house and hear a baby crying. The woman goes into the house while her…
