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…
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…
It’s ironic. Ghostfacer episodes are supposed to be comic relief, standalone, monster of the week stories. While “#THINMAN” surely qualified as a standalone monster story, the monsters were humans, the comedy was poignantly serious and fans’ reactions to the episode were anything but neutral. You either loved it or hated it. I have to admit,…
Nightsky is out of town today, so I get to compile today’s review of the repeat “Captives.” Considering I was in a plane last night coming home from San Diego when the episode aired, I’ll leave the comments to the experts that actually watched the episode. And did I get comments! First though, a personal…
Supernatural’s episode “The Purge” is packed full of messages. There is subtext about the brothers, about family, about monsters and humanity, and even about weight loss and self-image. All of our original reviews detected many of these messages on the first watch. They are worth revisiting, however, because even though the parallels to the brothers’…
You all saw part one of my Season Nine Editor’s Choice awards, now here’s part two! What other categories deserve recognition (both good and bad)? There’s still quite a few.
Last week we enjoyed the rerun of “Bad Boys”, which was the seventh episode in Supernatural’s 9th season. Typical of hiatus programming, this week The CW skipped ahead several episodes, so instead of following the methodical development of the plots, we jumped ahead to 9.12, “Sharp Teeth”. Unfortunately, the omitted episodes were crucial to all…
The fans have spoken, and now it’s my turn. As I do every year, I compile a list of awards using methods that are totally unscientific, completely subjective, and somewhat questionable, but always a lot of fun too. I mean, who else would think up on this stuff? Bored minds like myself, that are just…
A “Gadreel free” Sam now gets to deal with the aftermath of his possession. Well, at least we think he deals. We don’t really know. The only times Sam truly expresses anything is to say some awful things to Dean, which makes him look like a heartless, unsympathetic dick because we as viewers are left…
Sometimes it is a treat to watch a Supernatural episode and just enjoy the story. My rewatch of “Bad Boys” was an example of this kind of relaxed viewing. Sure, I was live tweeting with multiple people (on two accounts) so it wasn’t entirely relaxed, but my mind didn’t want to think of deep meanings…
Last remix until Season 10! Warning: I did see how much I could cross the line this time… As always thanks to: http://www.homeofthenutty.com/ for screencaps and http://lolwhutgifs.tumblr.com/ for the gif this time.
