I don’t have as much as I usually do to say about this one. Fittingly episode 199 is classic Supernatural formula: opens with a teaser monster killing, the boys catch wind of the case, adorn undercover costumes, interrogate and solve the problem. Paper Moon flowed like a season one episode in this way and coming…
I went into “Paper Moon” with some pretty low expectations. After last week’s disappointment, I wasn’t sure if any writer was able to tackle where Sam and Dean were supposed to go from here. They’re in a pretty bad place, and the hits have been coming bad since the trials began. How do they regroup? …
Summary: This episode penned by Adam Glass is a classic monster of the week.
I’m not sure if the title for this one is in relation to just the full moon since we’re dealing with Werewolves or has something to do with the 1973 Movie with Ryan and Tatum O’Neal where they are scam artist back in the 1930’s. Curious. Anyways enjoy the episode and playing Bingo!
This week’s episode didn’t impress our panel as much as prior weeks. We definitely saw the weaknesses in the story, but there were plusses too. Myself and TV Fanatic’s Sean McKenna and Narsimha Chintaluri had plenty of opinions about “Soul Survivor.” http://www.tvfanatic.com/2014/10/supernatural-round-table-sam-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-v/ Here’s Sean McKenna’s review for comparison. He gave it a 4.4 out of…
Last week Sam cured Dean. So where do they go from here?
Disease has consumed the headlines in the last month—from the Ebola outbreak to the Enterovirus 68—and as a result we’ve seen fear and concern ratchet up for the nation’s safety, security, and health. But our fear dates much father back. Our fear of disease is perhaps one of our oldest—along with a fear of the…
I adored this episode. I suspect Dean is not really cured. I’m worried for the future. Demon Dean was very scary. Dean is type O, John AB. Does that mean John wasn’t Dean’s father??? Biology doesn’t lie. Hannah plus Cas just wasn’t that interesting to me. But I did love his translation of human into…
Excuse me while I catch my breath, because intensity of this week really had some deep-gasp moments. The little bits in between the Sam and Dean interaction, for the most part, were kind of “meh” in this episode – but when they were on the screen – and since the boys were the majority of…
This was an episode almost TOO rich in targets. So I picked one set of threads to run with. Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the only male writer for The Winchester Family Business.
I’ve given myself a few days to reflect on “Soul Survivor” and a second viewing. I had to, because my initial impression was so negative. Well, it still is. Not everything, of course. Jensen Ackles’ direction was stellar, particularly the stalking scene but really the entire episode. What interest I had in “Soul Survivor” arose…
The biggest problem for a show in its tenth season is keeping the drama fresh. Expectations are high, and too many prior episodes have set a very high bar. Thanks to last week’s setup with the excellent episode “Reichenbach,” everything was laid out to deliver a compelling, jaw dropping, emotional drama. That’s where “Soul Survivor”…
