Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.21, “King of the Damned”

Here it is, the last review for season nine.  Thank freaking goodness.  To say it was a chore rewatching and writing up reviews for this horrific season would be a massive understatement.  It reminded me of everything I absolutely loathed about this season.  The season where I almost quit watching “Supernatural” for good (multiple friends…

Reviews That I Missed:  Supernatural Episode 9.20, “Bloodlines” aka Why am I Watching This?

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural Episode 9.20, “Bloodlines” aka Why am I Watching This?

Ugh, “Bloodlines.” I never did a review for this though, so I took one for the team and did a rewatch for you. I’ve only seen the episode once since it aired. So, did my perceptions change after seeing it again? Absolutely not. It was every bit the pile of garbage I remember the first…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.19 – “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann”

This is a surprising episode.  We were so dragged down by all the season nine crap at this point that when “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann” came along, I was stunned to see an actual great, emotional story play out, especially with a vampire story.  Where did this come from?  It finally brought some long overdue…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.17 – “Mother’s Little Helper”

Adam Glass again? I know that my availability was spotty in season nine, but it seems that I had a nasty habit at the time of skipping reviews on his episodes. Maybe because…well…he rarely delivered a winner. So how did I feel about “Mother’s Little Helper?” It was better than most of his episodes, but…

Reviews That I Missed:  Supernatural 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”

I remember when I watched “Sharp Teeth” the first time, I was pretty pissed.  They made Garth a werewolf?  What the hell were they thinking?  Actually, it was an Adam Glass script, so expectations were pretty low, but this felt like one of those “sensationalized” stories that in the end wasn’t really necessary.  But watching…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.11, “First Born”

Can you say, “parallels galore”?  That’s what “First Born” brings to the table, a twist on an old testament biblical story that always had Sam and Dean in mind when the Supernatural saga unfolded. Sure, Sam and Dean’s story wasn’t quite Cain and Abel, but thanks to the genius of Robbie Thompson, it became that…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.10 – “Road Trip”

“I didn’t have a choice.”  You DID!  You just made the wrong one.  Lots of times.   I did like “Road Trip” more than “Holy Terror”.  This is an Andrew Dabb script and like his others, it was inconsistency galore.  Some things worked, some things didn’t.  The biggest strength,  Crowley was really freaking awesome.  Every…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.09 – Holy Terror

Dean Winchester got what he deserved.  I could end the review of “Holy Terror” right there, but I suppose in his desperate act he left a lot of collateral damage in his wake, so I should probably explore that.  I just think it’s pretty sad as the episode closed out on Dean’s devastated face that…

Reviews That I Missed:  Supernatural 9.06 – Heaven Can’t Wait

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.06 – Heaven Can’t Wait

“Heaven Can’t Wait” is one episode where I didn’t remember ever seeing it or what it was about.  So, for such a forgettable episode, this rewatch took me by surprise.  It was actually good.  A well deserved character study for Castiel based on his new circumstances as a human, and a smaller yet effective glimpse…

Alice’s Re-Review: Supernatural 9.05 – “Dog Dean Afternoon”

Something fun happened while going through our recent conversion here at the WFB.  I’ve had to do a lot of archive cleanup and what do you know, I found some season nine reviews that I actually did.  One of those just happened to be “Dog Dean Afternoon.”  So, was it a good review?  Not really. …

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.04 – “Slumber Party”

“Slumber Party” is an odd duck for me.  I don’t think it’s a bad episode.  It’s well constructed, tells a unique story, and doesn’t have me shouting out “WTF???” on continuity or plotting.  The issue I have with it is that I’m not a huge fantasy fan.  I get it, Charlie is from a different…

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.03 – I’m No Angel

In my rewatch of “I’m No Angel,” I was pleasantly surprised…for the first two thirds of it.  This wasn’t a half bad story and was strangely fluid.  Then the wheels completely fell off the wagon and it ended a complete travesty.  All the right ideas were in place, but this time they got a good…
