Hey, I remember you from The X-Files, Mr. Character Actor. You’re right, it’s all gonna be okay; for us viewers with such a stunning introduction, not your mandible. I spy with my mind’s eye blood and shattered bone and the start of one of my all-time favorite episodes, the hilarious and mythologically important Simon Said….
I love going back and recapping landmark episodes. You know, the ones that constantly stick with either Sam and Dean forever and traces of it can still be seen today. This one especially is a ground breaking character defining moment. Dean Winchester was never the same after this. For those that are trying like mad…
This is one of the most intense recaps I’ve ever attempted. “Born Under A Bad Sign” is a delicious, thrilling, and completely nerve wracking episode that ranks in my top five of best episodes ever. It’s not only one of the best acted episodes of the series, it’s one of the best directed as well….
Hunted: So you didn’t like Gordon before,now you can really dislike him. Not only does he shoot at Sam, he beats Dean up, sets a trap to blow Sam up, not once but twice, and makes it clear he’s got Roadhouse connections as well. I’m sure Alice will have something to say about his choice of wheels,…
I’d forgotten how awesome season 2 is, deals and deaths, grief and guilt, Sam possessed, Dean shot, Sam immune, Dean dreaming, werewolves and clowns, zombies and alligators – although not zombie alligators, the Trickster, a shapeshifter, Gordon and Henricksen, Ellen, Jo and Ash, and the inimitable Bobby Singer. Season 2 builds on the foundation…
By demand, plus boredom this afternoon at work, I present the season two awards. You know, the awards I would have handed out at the end of season two if I was actually blogging AND watching the show. Better late than never I always say. The season two awards are particularly challenging. One single event easily takes…
The Music, Season 2: In My Time Of Dying: The recap comes to “Stranglehold”, and since Carry On, Wayward Son hadn’t yet become ‘THE’ music, it seems right. In fact, every season premier has been different, Season 3 opened to “Hell’s Bells” by AC/DC and Season 4 to “You Shook Me All Night Long,”…
I told everyone this would be a surprise. The question is, why review this one? There are two reasons. First, there isn’t an episode other than “Ghostfacers” more polarizing among fans, thus that makes it worthy of a critical review. Second, I felt like it. “Heart” instantly commanded attention since it combined the writing of Sera Gamble…
Previously on Supernatural: Sam’s dead! As in not breathing, stiff as a board, Smurf blue dead. Dean wasn’t too happy about that. Kripke goes for ripping our hearts out from the word go. The entire season’s summed up by the traditional “Carry On Wayward Son”, and Sam’s death is more gripping to music. It’s strange…
Okay, all that virtual arm twisting has paid off. Upon request, I pulled out the season two DVDs (okay, I picked them up from their reserved spot next to the TV) and took on two of the most gut-wrenching episodes done on this show. “All Hell Breaks Loose” is right. These episodes made their significant…
