In the last installment of “Go Beyond the Gag Reel,” we examined the special features of season one. It covered everything from the deleted scenes to the commentaries to the special additions only found on the Blu Ray set—in particular the Devil’s Road Map and the Paley Fest Panel. It gave us a chance to…
I was able to join a recent rewatch of season two’s “Heart,” and was reminded again what an incredibly well written episode this was. Penned by the talented and much missed Sera Gamble and directed by a man who added so much to this series, Kim Manners, “Heart” works on every level, thematically within the…
It’s Hellatus, we need time killers, and you all loved last week’s Season One Fun Facts so much that this week we’re moving onto season two! Before I get started with season two, I did miss a REALLY, REALLY fun fact from season one, one that I’m going to put on the list in…
In my recent letter to Jared about his outstanding performance in “Sacrifice”, I reminisced about how well Jared has been building the character of Sam over the past eight years. Jared offered a similar observation at the New Jersey convention when asked about Season 8 Sam. He observed, “Season 8 Sam is not season one…

When I refer…
While waiting for season seven to begin (why is it not here yet???), let’s fondly look back at the genius that is season two.
Retro Open Supernatural Couch – In My Time of Dying Or Lessons in Disrupting the Natural Balance Today I look back at one of the most painful episodes of our beloved show. Before you ask – yes, I might occasionally be a masochist par excellence. Today is one of those days, I reckon, when…
Open Supernatural Couch – Houses of the Holy Or Knocking on Heaven’s Door All of us have our favourite episodes, haven’t we? A long summer hiatus is, for me, the perfect time to take a look back, and then take a closer look at some of my fave episodes. Houses of…
It’s time for the second season of episode titles. No better way to spend the hellatus then re-living the episodes of yore. This season was chock-full of great references to songs, books and movies. Enjoy! 2.1 “In My Time of Dying” “In My Time of Dying” is the contemporary name of a traditional gospel…
