As the end of Season 8 of Supernatural rapidly approaches, I find myself eagerly waiting for what lies ahead. The season, though not perfect, managed to introduce several interesting narratives, making me invested in the fates of all those involved in this story. I also find myself hoping to see a few specific situations play…
Whoa. 4 episodes left in the season. That seems pretty crazy. The Js have already wrapped and as I was writing this, Russ Hamilton tweeted that it was the last day of shooting for the crew. Season 8 is nearly over. It’s kinda hard to believe! So as we hurtle towards the end of…
Sometimes, when I lay awake in the middle of the night, the most random thoughts about Supernatural pop into my head (Alice’s last article said the same thing happens to her!). The other night it was about the third trial. I guess it all started with me seeing the name of episode 8.23: “Sacrifice”. There’s…
One thing Supernatural does best is tug on multiple threads in its story, weaving them together so that each one is essential to the whole. The layers that this provides allows for deep insight into the story and its characters. Each layer adds another texture, another emotion, another clue as to what is being told….
Episodes like “Taxi Driver” are a struggle for me. I had the same problem with last season’s “The Born-Again Identity.” The possibilities are oh so amazing, yet the execution just ends up falling short. It becomes an internal struggle at review time between my inner TV critic and my inner fan girl. Those two bitches…
I liked “Taxi Driver”, a lot. Let me tell you why. I’m not much of a stickler for the nitty gritty. I don’t watch an episode and go, wait, that doesn’t gel with what was represented by canon in episode 5.ticketyboo. I don’t really care, it’s cool if you do, it’s just I don’t. It’s…
Where to even begin with this episode? On my first viewing I was really torn about where I stood. The highs were high, the lows were low – how to discuss? Now that I’ve considered, analyzed, re-analyzed and over-analyzed and after a third viewing I feel much more level about this episode. So, let’s just…
There were so many good things about this episode, I’m not sure where to start! The pacing was just right, we got to see a few old friends (Bobby and Benny!!), we got to see a little more of that beautiful Purgatory camera filter (I just love it.), we got a little Crowley and a…
Warning! If you haven’t seen “Taxi Driver,” then read no further! There will be heavy discussion about the episode, aka lots of spoilers. Do yourself a favor and watch the episode before you venture inside and theorize with me.
It’s that time again. A new episode and Bingo! Sam goes to Hell…YIKES! Bobby’s possibly in Hell…Double YIKES! Crowley gets into Kevin’s head, Naomi visits Dean and Dean calls on Benny for help. Triple YIKES! I think this one might just kill me!
Hang on to your hats, or trucker caps, or fisherman caps or whatever it is you feel you need to hang on to (hey, Dean, over here!), because this episode looks like it might be a cracker, though 2 things may prevent that…
Hunting has a premise that makes it seem rather simple: supernatural creatures killing humans must be stopped. In theory it’s easy to understand and do. In practice, however, it becomes apparent that there is much more to it than that. It’s dangerous, deadly, and often much more complex underneath the surface. A job may not…
