In a blinding white light, Dean Winchester emerged from Purgatory, covered in dirt and blood and looking way sexier than anyone has any right to. He’d spent a year fighting monsters, trying to escape a plane he was never supposed to be in. Dean brought back secrets. A friend that didn’t fit the norm of…
“What’s the line? “Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” Well I think, the people you save, they’re how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you’ve caused… The one thing that allows you to sleep at night – the one thing is knowing these folks are out there….
Whenever we get down to the last set of episodes for a season, expectations are extremely high. We want something that thrills us, excites us, makes us laugh, cry, gives us some extraordinary canon to debate, shocks us to the core, but overall delivers something that we enjoy. I can honestly say, after two watches,…
One week to go, people. How’d that happen? The last 2 weeks have got us fully locked and loaded for heaven knows what, because seriously, I have no idea where this is all going! This week’s “Clip Show” took us on a crazy ride, one that raised plenty of questions and filled me with both…
As penultimate (see Sam, people do say it) episodes go, this set a number of balls in motion for the finale and what will be most interesting to see is not only how the plots are wrapped up (for the ones that are) but how they end up coming together when they do. “Clip Show”…
8.21 The Great Escapist: When You Create Stories, You Become Gods We can all be gods. Our minds write our own stories; Angels, demons, men. Commentary and Meta Analysis Ben Edlund never disappoints! This episode was chock-full of information advancing and reinforcing the overall mytharc of the series. I suspect I’ll be doing many…
Warning!!! If you haven’t seen “Clip Show,” read no further. There will be extensive talk about the episode, so you will be spoiled if you read this without watching the episode first. If you’ve seen it, come on in and talk about it with me!
I’ve re-watched “The Great Escapist” about ten times in between Wednesday night and the writing of this review. I can’t get enough of it. In terms of writing, acting, directing, and production, this episode offers so much! This is plain and simple, the “Supernatural” I used to remember. The “Supernatural” that I could dig into…
“When you create stories, you become gods of tiny, intricate dimensions unto themselves.” I love this line to pieces and I kind of imagined Ben Edlund laughing maniacally after he wrote it, with lightning flashing across his face, accompanied by the sound of thunder! Then, he’d giggle. “The Great Escapist” was peppered with that…
The Great Escapist was, as the title implies, all about escapes, from Kevin’s careful manipulation of Crowley to Metatron’s escape from his duties to Castiel’s own multitude escape plots. Yet despite want or effort, none of these players could quite break free from the reality of destiny’s tight grip- yeah, she’s a fickle mistress, ain’t…
There was so much to love about this episode. I’m not even sure where to start. As the season winds down (only two more episodes!) it looks like everything is coming together into the perfect storm of awesome. Not only did we get answers about what happened to Kevin but we also got to see…
WARNING!!! If you haven’t seen “The Great Escapist” yet, read no further! There will be lots of spoilery discussion about what happened in this episode. So do yourself a favor and watch it before you head over here and talk about the episode.
