Heartache Season 8 Episode 3 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Minneapolis, MN – A handsome jogger is overtaken by a more portly jogger. The former congratulates the latter on passing him. The plump jogger says, “I do a lot of cardio,” reaches into the other man’s chest and removes his heart, killing him. The handsome…
You know what I love about this show? Everything. The end. No, really,well that, but really, I love how we all come at this show differently. I love how we all see different things, feel different things. Sometimes some of us don’t like an episode that others really dig. I think that’s kind of great,…
Supernatural often tells its story through metaphor. Episodes such as “Heart,” “Metamorphosis,” Bedtime Stories,” and “Houses of the Holy” are great examples of this. The formula works because it allows the monster of the week story on the surface to tell a parallel character story underneath. “Heartache” is no different as it tells Sam and…
This episode was not what I expected. From the preview last week, I thought we’d be seeing a bit more about how Sam spent the last year. I know, I know…the CW’s promos aren’t usually the most reliable source. In fact, they usually make no sense to me at all. But as a person who…
8.02: What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?: It’s About The Sacrifice What’s the price of peace? Mother’s soul for her son’s life; Dean’s Winchester guilt. Commentary and Meta Analysis I will apologize in advance, because this one’s going to be short and shallow given the current strictures on my time. I hope to be able…
If you’ve noticed, I’ve been pretty silent about Supernatural so far this season. It’s not that I haven’t been enjoying season eight, I have, it’s just nothing has been blowing me away. It’s early in the season, and the name of the game is patience. I need to give the story a chance to unfold…
WARNING!!! If you haven’t seen “Heartache,” then read no further! There will be spoilers and discussion and talk about next week’s episode preview and CRAZY theories bandied about! If you don’t want to read any of that, look away now! But if you do, then saddle up because we’re going for a ride!
I have come to the conclusion that I really need to stop playing on twitter when I am watching a television show. On the one hand, I love the opportunity to converse with other people as crazy about a show as I am! But on the other hand, there is the problem with–well, missing things…Like…
I couldn’t resist. This couldn’t wait until the Season 8 Enigma of Sam Winchester’s Hair. This is what happens when Supernatural meets Marvel. A life or death battle with hair! I imagine the inner dialogue went something like this: “I saw Thor during my year off. I think I know how this thing works.” “I’m…
Oh, the bingo possibilities this week! Jensen directs picnics with a cute dog, there’s a man that looks a lot like Jensen’s father (cause it is), and there’s a few of us hoping this is the week we get a shirtless Winchester. We’re dreamers!
Meg warned the Winchesters in “Reading Is Fundamental” that “Crowley’s always the problem. He’s just waiting for the right moment to strike.” In “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy,” Crowley shows that he’s more than ready to be the big bad standing in Sam and Dean’s way. He is cunning, conniving, and out for blood. He is…
I’ve got to say, I Ioved this episode. I really loved it. I can’t remember the last time “Supernatural” got me so over emotional. I mean, outside of the overtly emotional episodes of course, where I cry like a baby! “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?” probably was not meant to affect me the way it…
