Supernatural Season Three Hits and Misses – Part Two Miss: Sam’s Shooting This, I believe, is another unanimous “miss” in season three – when Bela shoots Sam in the shoulder. It was a too serious and startling button on an otherwise pretty balanced and enjoyable episode. Not need to go into too much detail…
Before diving back into this, I again would like to issue a reminder. Please, please, please! I beg, plead, ask and request, no attacks on the actresses. This is a sensitive subject to the fandom in general, I realize that. But this is a look at the demon Ruby, not at the women who…
No Sympathy for a Devil Part I Or A Closer Look at Ruby So I tend to think about Supernatural when I should be thinking about, and writing about, other things. Such as the four final papers that are coming due for Grad school. This week. But what the hey right? This is Supernatural….
“No Rest For the Wicked” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Dean dreams he is running from hellhounds. He awakens just as they catch up to and leap on him. He has fallen asleep on a particularly gruesome photo of a hellhound in a book, and he looks up to Sam’s worried but hopeful face–Bobby’s come up…
“Jus in Bello” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel In Monument, Colorado, Dean and Sam, guns in hand, search Bela’s hotel room. Sam asks his brother if he’s sure this is Bela’s room. Dean holds up a red and blond wig–disguises Bela uses–it is. The phone rings. It’s Bela, who has the Colt beside her…
“Bedtime Stories” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Could you BE more gay? is what Dean asks Sam in the course of this investigation. Three hefty brothers argue at a construction site. One is killed by a snarling creature, the other survives the attack. A big, fat frog wends its way through this entire episode, hoping,…
“The Kids Are Alright” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel In seemingly idyllic Cicero, Indiana, a young girl, Katie, returns home early from her visit to her divorced father’s home, claiming to Mommy that there are monsters there, and she no longer wants to have “Dad’s night” anymore. Mom, mystified, agrees. After they leave, Katie’s father…
“Magnificent Seven” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Welcome to the first new episode of season 3! I was disappointed after the beauty of “In My Time of Dying,” which was about as perfect as a SUPERNATURAL episode can get, but this episode had its high points, too. “Hell’s Bells” plays over the re-cap, which was…
#1 – Azazel and Company – Demons With A Purpose Let’s face it, if I didn’t have a catch all category for all the demons that played their part in the grand scheme of freeing Lucifer, a chunk of this list would be taken by them. What fun would that be? Powerful, scary demons though are…
Reviewing “The Magnificent Seven” is weird since I’m going from something unbelievable like the finale last week to this episode, easily one of the worst of the season. Last week I marveled at the awesomeness of the Kripster for his flawless script in “No Rest For The Wicked”, and now I get to ask what…
Reviewing episodes after seeing the rest of the season creates an interesting challenge. I try to judge the episode on its merits alone as if I was watching for the first time, but I can’t avoid recalling post episode subplots that cleanly tie into the one up for review. “The Kids Are Alright” is one of those…
Boy, did I get an interesting one for what turns out to be the only season three episode I have left to review. “Jus In Bello” is a highly buzzed episode from seasoned writer Sera Gamble, and it ended up being one of the highest rated of the season. As much great action, drama, and…
