Welcome to “Memorable Moments”. Each week I will visually recap what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from that episode. The list may vary from week to week, depending on what has transpired in that particular episode.
Here it is, an annual WFB tradition that I never really quite got to this summer. Nine seasons of “Supernatural”, and there is still plenty of mystery regarding that delightful mop on Sam Winchester’s head.
Supernatural season finales are always intense. Emotionally gripping, they conclude many of the myth arcs of the season, and leave us gasping at some final scene that hopefully ensures the entire audience returns next season. “Do You Believe in Miracles”, the season 9 cliff-hanger, delivered possibly the most shocking final two seconds of the series…
I love Supernatural. Let me start out by stating that for the record. I also generally liked season 9. In my opinion it added several very good episodes to what was already an outstanding series. I have been interested in the plot lines – all the plot lines – this season. The casting, acting, directing…
Monster-Slayer: Why Bloodlines Failed Me Truth in advertising: I loathed Bloodlines, the failed back door pilot for a potential Supernatural spinoff. I despised it so much that I deleted it from my TiVo DVR the day after it was recorded. I didn’t even erase Man’s Best Friend With Benefits that fast, and I lambasted that…
It was hard to choose a banner picture for this episode. Was the episode about the appearance of Gavin, and all the far reaching implications of Crowley having a son? There was certainly a lot of time spent on the development of this new character. Alternately, was the episode about killing Abaddon? This was a…
Finally! Unanimous love for an episode! All of the WFB writers look for different things in episodes. Some look for canon precision, some for meta meanings, some for brotherly love, and some for great storytelling, yet by all yardsticks, this episode was superb. Robert Berens’ “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann” was a triumph.
Just hours after returning from VanCon, my brain was in a deep, Supernaturally induced, sleep deprived, travel slip stream fog. So what’s the first thing I did this morning? Valiantly tried to host the live tweet of the #WFBRewatch of “Meta Fiction”….before breakfast! My apologies to anyone who was confused when I sincerely asked why…
It seems to be vacation week at The Winchester Family Business!! Half the writing staff is in or headed to Vancouver for the Supernatural convention that is happening this weekend! The other half is either on vacation or working so hard in order to take a vacation that everyone’s review is comprised of their “Random…
In part two, things really unravel for poor Dean now that he has the Mark of Cain, which seems like a chicken scratch for a bit of the second half until he gets to touch the First Blade. It’s the great fall of Dean Winchester, and it all plays out like a Greek tragedy. …
Sabath68 has returned with another great guest analysis, this time on Supernatural’s season nine. Enjoy this thought provoking analysis! ****************************** Greetings from Germany, as usual I prefer to analyze the over reaching main theme of a season instead of reviewing a single episode. In my opinion it is like to muse over a good book…
“Blade Runners” was one of the major turning points of the season. Crowley’s addiction is exposed. Dean gets his hands on the First Blade. Sam sees for the first time the dominating effect it has on his brother. Crowley hatches ploys within plots within schemes after he sees both Sam and Dean’s reactions to the…
