(For those that missed the previous installments, check out season one season two, season three and season four. It’s time for the season five episode title origins. I hope this has been as fun for you guys as it has been for me. This season has a ton of great references that I think you’ll enjoy. 5.1 “Sympathy for…
The Apocalypse – did it happen? As we all know in season 5 everything was leading to the apocalypse. In the Supernatural world it all was supposed to lead to the final fight between Lucifer and Michael. As we know though Sam sacrificed himself and the apocalypse was…
I’m learning something fun. If an idea worked brilliantly last year, it’s worth repeating! Last year, as part of my look back at Supernatural in 2009, I recalled several of those little moments that made me smile. You know, good episode or not, there was at least one tiny moment in each episode that reminded me…
Season five. What a pretty big season for this little show. One reason is the fact that there was a season five. So few shows make it to this milestone. So few shows get to celebrate the coveted 100th episode. So few shows get to decide that despite the success they’re ending the planned five…
I know I’m stirring up a hornet’s nest here, but oh well. Here goes. Given all the noise made on this site and others about “Swan Song” I’m giving Eric Kripke his chance to speak his mind. When I had my chance to speak with Eric Kripke at this year’s Comic Con, by the time…

If you’re new and haven’t read them and are dying for some fabulous insights, sparkling writing, witty and pithy thoughts – yeah, you guessed it, don’t read my stuff. However, if you’re looking to pass Hellatus…
When I did The Enigma of Sam Winchester’s Hair last year, I highlighted some of the key disasters from seasons 1-4. In going back and analyzing season five, I found Sam’s hair was pretty even keeled for the most part, but there were some unusual circumstances that happened to come up more than once. So I’m…
I so remember this time last year. I was still reeling from Sam’s horrible descent into total darkness, all capped off by his inadvertent kicking off of the apocalypse. These were my exact words at the end of my season four analysis on Sam. “Sam’s only options at this point are redemption, insanity or death. Guess…
