This is a masterpiece with direction, set decoration, cinematography,…
Supernatural in the news this week.

“Mystery Spot” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Sam sits up in bed, awakened to “Heat of the Moment” on the radio. “Rise and shine, Sammy!” says Dean enthusiastically, tying his boots on his bed. “Dude, Asia?” asks Sam. “C’mon, you love this song and you know it!” says Dean cheerily. “And if I ever hear…
“Magnificent Seven” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Welcome to the first new episode of season 3! I was disappointed after the beauty of “In My Time of Dying,” which was about as perfect as a SUPERNATURAL episode can get, but this episode had its high points, too. “Hell’s Bells” plays over the re-cap, which was…
