Aww nuts. You know, one thing I have to admit in doing this season 13 rewatch, so far this season isn’t half bad. Yes, there have been some missteps (*cough*”Wayward Sisters”*cough*), but there’s been some great attempts made at character study and development. Jack has been a breath of fresh air, even though he’s been…
I didn’t expect “The Thing” to be something big after the great episodes “A Most Holy Man” and “Scoobynatural,” but yeah, this installment was a bit of a letdown. It wasn’t horrible, just kind of…bland. But hey, it got the ball rolling on the whole mythic quest thing, so it wasn’t a total waste. …
How do you do a review for an episode like “Scoobynatural?” That’s probably why I didn’t do a review the first time. There’s no critical analysis or breaking down of plot or picking apart the writing. It all boils down to fun factor. Was this a load of fun? Hell yes! This episode was exceptional…
I’ll lead with this, I absolutely loved “A Most Holy Man.” I loved it when it first aired and I appreciate it more now. In a season where both of our characters have struggled with lost faith and hope, this episode not only was a fun Sam and Dean caper but it reinforced that good deeds…
I sat down for the rewatch of “Good Intentions” with the hubby and we were in agreement about one thing, we had never seen this episode before. I knew there were 2 or 3 episodes in season thirteen I’d never watched and it became obvious we stumbled upon one. I find that this is a…
“Various & Sundry Villains” was certainly a mixed bag. On one side, there’s a MOTW story, witches, that really falls flat. This could be just me, but Supernatural has rarely done well with witch plots, especially when they are villains. Then there’s the disastrous B plot, which was necessary but NOT fun to watch. But…
Wow, I’ve got to admit, that was one of the more surprising rewatches. I don’t remember a lot about “The Bad Place.” Perhaps it didn’t stand out because it was the setup to the most disappointing “Wayward Sisters.” But once I dug in, this episode was actually good. It gave “Wayward Sisters” all the momentum…
There we go!! Soooo much better. When you’re bogged down in the mythos, and it’s early in the season, a light hearted yet engaging action adventure where Sam and Dean get to be heroes for once is exactly what the doctor ordered. Luckily, writer Meredith Glynn knew exactly what we needed. “The Scorpion…
Aw nuts. I don’t get it. Where does any writer think, “This season has been very even keeled in it’s storytelling. Let’s blow it all apart with a kitchen sink episode! The fans will love it!” Yeah, right. I went into “The War of the Worlds” with fresh eyes since I couldn’t remember a…
Eh, okay. I’m not sure what they were going for with “Tombstone,” but it didn’t work. Actually, that will be the mantra for this review. Did…not…work. It’s a shame too, since the previous two episodes were so strong and season thirteen was starting to find it’s footing. Sadly, this one crashed and burned to the…
Before doing my re-watch of “Advanced Thanatology,” I watched “The Big Empty” first (I skipped “Patience” because rereading my scathing review brought back all sorts of memories). I realized watching both these episodes together are a must. They pair perfectly in their themes about grief and loss and they’re both written by two junior writers…
Well…okay. Look, for a typical Brad and Eugenie outing, “The Rising Son” could have been bad. Instead I give it a “borderline mediocre.” It was not an enthralling outing for sure, but some things did happen to move the story along, so it wasn’t a total waste of my hour. Some things happened though that…
