Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.17- “Mother’s Little Helper”
There is a quote that captures a sliver of the human experience: “Everybody you meet is fighting a battle of which you know nothing about.” We all have struggles. Some of them are the stresses of every day life. Some are catastrophic, such as a chronic illness. Sometimes it is easy for us to become…

Hello! Welcome to another spoiler-lite preview. With only a few episodes to go until the mid-season hiatus, we’re getting to the pointy end of what has been set up as the first half of the season 9 arc…and by pointy end, I mean that jabby bit that the show is about to stab into all…

Threads: Supernatural 9.14 “Captives”
For the record, I really liked “Captives”. It was engaging. It had a lot of Sam, Dean and Castiel. It brought Kevin back to us. Mostly, though, it felt hopeful again. In my review of the season so far (Is Season 9 Divine?), I observed that many episodes in the first half of the season…

The WFB Supernatural Season 15 Fan Choice Awards – Take Two
So, our first vote went a little…haywire you might say. I wasn’t able to use our usual polling application, and the free version I had to use caused some mayhem. As a result, I’m redoing the vote to reflect how we’ve done it in the past. For one, I’m able to go back to…
Alice,
I love you!
By the by, maybe the demon blood introduced early into his system made Sam’s head harder than a normal human’s?
I had the same thought about the demon blood. But on the up side when Sam is knocked out his hair is all fluffy. 😉
Mostly I can agree on your list.
I also really loved the Best teaser. The opening of Captives was awesome because of the camera work and in general because of the bunker.
I wish they would use it more and we could ravel all it secrets slowly.

I agree with you about that last shot of Sam in the library; Serge Ledouceur is Rembrandt with a camera…. the way he pulls your eye around the frame using the light, its absolutely gorgeous like a painting.
How about best lighting design, also in “Do you believe in miracles?” I’m thinking of that orange light that Dean was standing over–It lined his face so beautifully (almost looked like something from a really great graphic novel) and foreshadowed the end of the episode as well.
Awesome choice! You mean this one?

Sam was 11-years-old in the episode, it’s just they cast cast the actors to be two years younger and changed it in post. I have no probably with Sam looking, small. It’s well established that he was a scrawny kid. As for it being OOC for him to be playing with a toy, that has nothing to do with canon on the show, there is nothing to contradict that he did have a toy or two, it’s you interjecting your beliefs for the character.
The thing I love about the shot of Sam alone in the library is that it recalls the shot in season 8 where Sam is writing and Dean is sitting with his feet up drinking whisky in the bunker (http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=File:Bunkerlibrary813_.JPG ([url]”http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=File:Bunkerlibrary813_.JPG”[/url])) – as the wiki summarises it: ‘Dean and Sam are in the Bunker after the hunt, Dean goes to the fridge and gets out a couple of beers, however after Sam tells him that he is filling out one of the MoL files on the hunt, Dean changes his mind and goes for the decanter on the bookcase instead. Dean and Sam sit at the table, both with expensive glasses of scotch, they each tilt their glass at the other. Then Sam goes back to working and Dean sighs contentedly.’
I wonder if that was a deliberate recall?
Yes, Dellamirandola, I think it was. So incredibly sad. Sam memorising better times sitting all alone…
Speking of cinematography there should be an additional reward for unusual and beautiful angles like in the finale when dead Dean is shown with the Blade in his hand, and the hand suddenly looks so small, not the hand of a warrior, but a child, almost. And in Purge lying on the sacks of sweet potatoes Dean looks so funny thanks to the angle of shooting. Hmm, to sum it up, we need more pictures of lying Dean.
Also a recall Dean drinking in the cabin when Sam dies end of season 2. Also a recall of the mean,lean, tunnel vision Sam as seen in Mystery Spot on Wednesday before the trickster takes it back to current day. Sam’s focus will be so narrow that he is apt to make some bad choices. Dean doesn’t want to be found which will frustrate Sam all the more and send him down a dark, dark, road.
The lighting in 10.23 should be recognized.
Camera man Brad needs a shout out!!!
