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…
The second half of season nine introduced two formidable weapons. Each one had its strengths, weaknesses, and consequences. Each were taken up by their respective characters as a means to an end—to fill in the “I did what I had to do” piece of the over all season puzzle. These weapons shaped not only the…
I had to take some time to process the finale, because the first time through, despite the stellar acting, I was emotionally distanced and underwhelmed. I wasn’t surprised at the final five seconds, having thought Dean as demon had been telegraphed since Cain told his story and several times since. But I wasn’t comfortable with…
Jeremy Carver, I am your bitch. Yes, I’ve said that before, probably so much that it’s lost all meaning. But as spitting mad as I was over last week’s waste of time, I put my full faith in the SPN showrunner to come through for us. To give us something that felt like a “Supernatural”…
Summary “Carry On My Wayward Son” always makes me tear up, as does the recap. Dean’s imprisonment reminds me of Sam’s. Dean hacking up blood, not good. Metatron only responds to God. Lol. Story of love? Where’s HIS love? I do like his angel PA system. Going on a short trip

We’ve finally hit the season finale. It looks like it will be a corker!
The first half of season nine built itself elegantly around the serpent in the Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man. We saw several incarnations—from Gadreel to Metatron to the Fall from Heaven to Castiel’s bout as a mortal. Each serpent infected a particular Garden and set in motion consequences still rippling outward. It…
So, did anything good happen in this episode? Well, maybe that Gadreel changed sides? Other than that, Castiel lost his followers, Tessa was killed, Sam was shut down and Dean…well, we are going to spend a lot of time talking about what happened to Dean. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and…
It is hard to believe we are already on the threshold of the season nine finale. It feels like this season just began and I have to admit I’m feeling unprepared for the end. “Stairway to Heaven” didn’t feel like the second to last episode of a season. I’m not sure if that’s just denial…
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Stairway to Heaven,” then beware spoilers ahead! Episode Summary: This episode covers the angel war and machinations by Metatron to get the angels away from Castiel. It begins with an angel “bomber” who claims to commit suicide in the name of Castiel. The episode follows the case as…
