In the mid season finale, “The Things We Left Behind,” we learned exactly what Castiel and the Winchesters are truly fighting for: humanity. We saw it in several levels: from Castiel seeking out Claire to Dean’s fear of losing even more ground to the Mark. Humanity was valued in oh so many ways. But in…
Classic rock music has always been a uniquely treasured part of the storytelling and emotional magnetism of Supernatural. I was consequently intrigued with the music that so aptly framed The Road So Far.
I always take a cautious approach to any script that has Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner as the writers. My expectations are lower, as are my standards. What you get from these two is fairly basic stuff, and it’s always considered a good outing when they don’t butcher canon into a thousand bits and produce…
Summary: This episode was written by Ross-Lemming and Buckner and picks up where the last episode before hiatus left – in the aftermath of Dean’s “massacre.”
Hiatus is over! Here is what we know about episode 10. The CW official synopsis 10.10 The Hunter Games THE AFTERMATH — After the massacre at the ranch, Dean (Jensen Ackles), Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Castiel (Misha Collins) double their efforts to find a cure for the Mark of Cain but there is nothing in…
The monsters, demons, angels—and hunters—that populate the rich world of Supernatural excite, entertain, and thrill us each week. But its what they represent that keeps us coming back. Dig deeper, and we can see that each one captures a facet of ourselves. They can represent our hopes. They can represent our fears. They can represent…
Well, that’s much better. Too bad that “Reichenbach” wasn’t the season premiere, because that was so much more of an attention getter. Dean is evil to the core. Sammy has his work cut out for him. There was far more than the sagas of Sam and Dean though. “Reichenbach” succeeded where “Black” struggled. It was…
Summary: This excellent episode was penned by Andrew Dabb and MAN, WHAT A RIDE? RIGHT? Sherlock Holmes fans should get the title reference….
Tonight we get Episode 10.02. What do we know?
Supernatural season finales are always intense. Emotionally gripping, they conclude many of the myth arcs of the season, and leave us gasping at some final scene that hopefully ensures the entire audience returns next season. “Do You Believe in Miracles”, the season 9 cliff-hanger, delivered possibly the most shocking final two seconds of the series…
We have been tracking the threads of season 9 for the past 23 episodes. The finale’s dramatic conclusion resolved many of clues we followed, proving or disproving our theories and speculations. It also opened up a whole host of new questions, though, providing a cliffhanger ending that pulls us kicking and screaming into season 10….
I don’t usually write reviews. I choose instead to analyze plot intricacies as they are presented in each episode. I like watching storylines unfold, week after week, finding clues and embedded themes. I like discovering the subtleties of writing that characterize and underscore so much of Supernatural’s success. Yet it has been a full week…
