Thoughts on 99 Problems When this episode opened with a high speed chase (featuring the Impala in all her glory and being wounded with a broken window) I thought we were in for an X Hours Ago to tell us the story leading up to the chase – not what happened. The heroes instead were…
99 Problems –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel I need to buy stock in a tissue company. Seriously. Kripke has killed me again, my heart, my tear ducts, everything. It’s obvious that Dean’s sweet, tearful farewell to Lisa (and let’s face it, although he saved her son who might be his), their affair was only…
Thoughts on Dark Side of the Moon DSotM was an exercise in devastated hearts and lost hope. It was also full of welcome friends, more-maniacal-by-the-minute foes and threads of what’s to come. Sad and crushing events twisted up the Winchester brothers and left them broken, battered and raw. Death Comes (Again) Had I not seen…
I already knew this would be a great episode the second it started. A scene that intense is the teaser? So, dig in, for this recap could get hairy. First, let’s get the credits out of the way. The writers are Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, who really hit a major stride here. It’s good to see them produce something…
“Dark Side of the Moon” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” usually makes me cry, and in conjunction with the brothers, ALWAYS! The memory of the brothers playing with fireworks, having a great time together (and doing something John would have killed them for) also made me teary, especially with that…
Recap Then: We start with a montage of some of the Winchester brothers’ most memorable deaths and Bobby’s voice saying “how many times have you two died anyway?” This can’t be good news for what’s to come. Castiel’s trying to find God, and wants to do it using the amulet that Sam gave to Dean…
Warning, this is a really long one. In the past when recaps have gotten this long I’ve broken it up into two parts. This time I didn’t do that. So, I’m hoping this will be killing some uber time at work for you. Enjoy! —————————————————————— Okay, I’ve taken enough recovery time after several days of…
This is an incredible, emotional, epic episode, and there’s plenty to cover. That’s because it’s a Sera Gamble script, with help this time from Nancy Weiner. Let’s get started!
Thoughts on My Bloody Valentine How we are at episode fourteen of season five already, I’ll never know. The last four weeks have flown by in a whirlwind of mytharc and emotion. I truly enjoyed this episode. Coming off last week’s heart-break, the humour was much appreciated. The gore, much less so. Several watches under…
“My Bloody Valentine” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel I had to watch this one three times before I was able to write about it. First, Famine was the creepiest MOTW we’ve had in a long time. With his brown-yellow teeth, leathery skin and pale pallor, I couldn’t help but wonder why he would want to be…
Here it is, episode night! It’s also a mytharc episode, so bring on the apocalypse. It’s been a while. I’ve already seen this episode, (albeit on a rough cut with no visual effects) so I’m taking bets you’ll like it. Or love it. Or will find its “jaw hits the floor awesome.” Oh heck, someone…
Okay everyone, have those boxes of Kleenexes handy? Good, because as far as tear-jerkers go, this is the gold standard. A limo pulls up under an overpass. An older man with a tin box and a shovel gets out, but not before he steps in a puddle. I have no idea if that was a…
