Reviews That I Missed: Episode 8.18 – “Freaks and Geeks”
It’s been a while since I’ve seen “Freaks and Geeks” so I wondered at first exactly why I don’t remember liking it. My answer came in the second scene. It didn’t improve from there.
Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural Episode 8.14 – “Trial and Error”
“Trial and Error” is a mixed bag. It’s the episode that kicked off the trials, a big season 8 arc, and history has proved this one to be essential, like all the way to the series finale essential. Still, despite all that, I would only call it partially brilliant. Most of the time, “Trial and…
Reviews That I Missed: Episode 8.11 – “LARP and the Real Girl”
It’s been a while since I had watched Supernatural‘s “LARP and the Real Girl.” I remember it with fondness, but I also didn’t remember a lot of the details. Seeing it again after all these years, it’s not what I remember. It’s not a bad episode, but it isn’t the groundbreaking one I recalled…
Reviews I Missed: Supernatural 8.07, “A Little Slice of Kevin”
“A Little Slice of Kevin” is an odd duck. It’s clearly a continuation of “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?” This time the writers are Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming, and I did like this more than Dabb and Loflin’s episode 8.02. The issue is, it’s the seventh episode of a season that’s clearly getting off to…
Reviews That I Missed: Episode 8.02 – “What’s Up Tiger Mommy?”
So, I watched “What’s Up Tiger Mommy?” for the first time since it aired in season 8. Now I know why I didn’t watch this again. What a freaking mess. The bad title ended up being the least of the issues. Remember how the season premiere, “We Need to Talk About Kevin” felt very disjointed? …
Reviews That I Missed: Episode 8.01 – “We Need to Talk About Kevin”
“We Need to Talk About Kevin” really should have been titled, “We need to talk about Sam and Dean.” Things just didn’t feel right with them. That was probably intentional, but given this was a highly anticipated season opener, it didn’t win many accolades from the masses. For the record, I loved season 8. However,…

Odds…
Picking Supernatural’s 75 Essential Episodes – Season 8
As I was looking for a way to pass the quarantine doldrums, I saw Entertainment Weekly’s list of what it considered to be the 75 most ‘essential’ episodes of Supernatural, leading up to Season 15. Since any excuse for a rewatch is a good excuse, I figured I’d not only invite my Supernatural “Team Free Will North…
