This week, I’ve been musing about family dramas. There are many great examples of the genre in television, films, and novels. I wanted to review an episode of Supernatural that had some poignant family drama, so I picked the premiere episode of season five. This episode has incredible drama between our favorite brothers and also…
100! 100 episodes! Now I could get all nostalgic and say I’ve been there every Thursday (or Tuesday in early season one), but honestly, the first live episode I saw was “Fresh Blood,” which was episode 51. I’ll tell ya though, it’s been an amazing and gut wrenching 49 live episodes for me! Like this one. I’m taking on the…
Point of No Return, by Elle2 There is something so huge about a show’s 100th episode that if not careful, it can go over the top. Supernatural successfully avoided that trap, so successfully that with all the hype, if the viewer is not in turn careful, it can be a letdown. If you were looking for…
“Point of No Return” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel This is going to be especially rambling because this episode got me in such a super-dither. My emotions were in a crazy stew by the end of this ep, bubbling happily at the end. Bobby showing Dean the gun and bullet he had on hand…
Thoughts on Dark Side of the Moon DSotM was an exercise in devastated hearts and lost hope. It was also full of welcome friends, more-maniacal-by-the-minute foes and threads of what’s to come. Sad and crushing events twisted up the Winchester brothers and left them broken, battered and raw. Death Comes (Again) Had I not seen…
I already knew this would be a great episode the second it started. A scene that intense is the teaser? So, dig in, for this recap could get hairy. First, let’s get the credits out of the way. The writers are Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, who really hit a major stride here. It’s good to see them produce something…
We have another guest submission, this time from joelsteinlover. It is her first recap and she is taking on “Dark Side of The Moon.” Now, I’m sure many of you ask, why do I sometimes post so many reviews and recaps on one episode? Because, especially with this episode, no one usually views a scene the…
“Dark Side of the Moon” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” usually makes me cry, and in conjunction with the brothers, ALWAYS! The memory of the brothers playing with fireworks, having a great time together (and doing something John would have killed them for) also made me teary, especially with that…
Recap Then: We start with a montage of some of the Winchester brothers’ most memorable deaths and Bobby’s voice saying “how many times have you two died anyway?” This can’t be good news for what’s to come. Castiel’s trying to find God, and wants to do it using the amulet that Sam gave to Dean…
Note from Alice: Sorry for the slower posting on these, but this last week has involved an intense and painful “upgrade” of yours truly’s laptop to Windows 7. Okay, it’s better than Vista, but it’s still Microsoft! Anyway, I think the kinks are getting worked out (not to mention the time we took to do the…
