Sam has his soul back and Rufus and Grandpa Samuel have recently been killed. No great loss in the case of Gramps, but Rufus will be missed. Sam and Dean are trying to find a way to stop Eve – The Mother of All.
First up, we get a cool title card that is reminiscent of Bonanza. It’s very cool. I love it when they change up the title card. Forget the Cartwright Brothers - I was always in love with “Candy” Canaday. Yummy.

Are you ready for part three of the Christmas story? If you missed the opening chapters of this year's Christmas in the bunker with the Winchesters, you'll want to go back to read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 before continuing. After this we have still one part to go.
The original idea for this story was to make it ready before Christmas day but unfortunately that didn't come to pass. Sometimes I plan too many things to do and I realize that there is only so much you can do in a day. I didn't have a holiday (vacation time) to finish it but so much was already done. I decided just to relax, keep the idea for the story in mind and slowly let it reveal itself. That was good as I could fully focus on it and write all that was needed. So finally we have arrived at the part that is my favorite.
The 250th episode! Who knew way back when the mission was searching for John and mourning Jess that this is where we’d end up all these years later? First Blood was a bit of a different flavor for Supernatural – but then a lot of season twelve has been about changing it up in that sense and it worked, for the most part. The action style, the approach of the feds and the emotions delivered well. As a 250th tribute to the Winchester family we’ve come to love, all the marks were met.
"Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself." — Walter Anderson

Hi, everyone. The nice people here at The WFB decided to let me write a series of episode reviews, for your enjoyment (let’s hope that it’s not a horrible mistake). I’m going to pick any episode from any season that was interesting to me in some way, then talk about other shows and books that touch upon the theme of the episode.
I felt obliged to start with my favorite episode of Supernatural's season seven, "The Born Again Identity". I am the president, secretary, and treasurer of the Truly Unofficial Season Seven Fan Club. I also bring the snacks to the meetings. We’re always looking for members - just let me know.

My emotions!! Even days later, they’re still reeling. One minute I’m satisfied and happy and content; the next, I’m a hot mess and all over the place with worry and dismay. Supernatural's season 12 finale, "All Along The Watchtower”, delivered on so many levels, but it also took so much away. Naturally, I’m trying to stabilize myself by analyzing all that’s happened and might happen next. It all comes down to the people we’ve lost and what little, if anything, we gained. This finale wasn’t about the story, it was about the characters. In truth, the only “story” told was the birth of the Nephilim and the introduction to the AU world. Everything else was solely character driven. We had our four mains, with two recurring characters appearing, and one honorable mention. I want to take a closer look at each of their roles and journeys in this episode, and what the possible outcomes for each of them may be.
