“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…
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…
“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…
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. …
“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…
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…
Ugh. You know, I went into this rewatch with an open mind. After all, I vaguely remembered Abaddon being a real bad ass, a wicked Ezekiel reveal, and some crap with Crowley. After revisiting, it’s all quite a downer. Still, “Devil May Care” wasn’t a total loss. Why don’t I do a “Good, Bad,…
Before I get started, I should give a disclaimer. I hated season nine. Granted I watched most of the episodes only once, and it’s been a while since I’ve revisited, but this was the season that really started my discontent with Supernatural. In going back and reviewing the multiple number of episodes I didn’t review…
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…
Here it is, part two of my list of “Supernatural” go-to episodes. You know, those special episodes in my heart that are always one of the first I watch when I’m pulling out the “Supernatural” DVDs. I’ve forced myself in this exercise to pick just one for each season. That was nearly impossible for the…
Welcome back to “Top Six Favourite Episodes”, this time for season nine. These are, still to this day, the nearest and dearest to my heart, my comfort episodes, the ones I go to when I need a laugh or a cry or the comfort of an old friend. Before you read my list, make your…
Robbie Thompson is largely considered by Supernatural fans to be one of its most creative, talented writers. From 2011 to 2016 (season 7 through 11), Robbie wrote 18 episodes, including the series’ milestone 200th episode (“Fan Fiction” 10.05), and co-produced a total of 94 hours of the series. His beloved characters and imaginative plots forever…
