As penultimate (see Sam, people do say it) episodes go, this set a number of balls in motion for the finale and what will be most interesting to see is not only how the plots are wrapped up (for the ones that are) but how they end up coming together when they do. “Clip Show”…
The Great Escapist was, as the title implies, all about escapes, from Kevin’s careful manipulation of Crowley to Metatron’s escape from his duties to Castiel’s own multitude escape plots. Yet despite want or effort, none of these players could quite break free from the reality of destiny’s tight grip- yeah, she’s a fickle mistress, ain’t…
Going into this episode, I knew I would love it. From the outset it had too many great elements not to be good: humour, references to the Carver Edlund book series, Felicia Day’s Charlie – one of my favourite recurring characters to date, and some emotional reveals as well. And yet what this episode brought…
As television goes, particularly by 2013 standards, “Supernatural” is ancient. Coming to the close of its eighth season and having been renewed for a ninth, “Supernatural” is a veteran in a world whose current loves include learning how people’s addiction to eating vaporub began and deciding whether or not Obnoxious Housewife Number One is more…
Where to even begin with this episode? On my first viewing I was really torn about where I stood. The highs were high, the lows were low – how to discuss? Now that I’ve considered, analyzed, re-analyzed and over-analyzed and after a third viewing I feel much more level about this episode. So, let’s just…
Thoughts on “Supernatural”: 8×18: Freaks and Geeks – by Elle Like a good drama should, Supernatural has always been fairly adept at knowing when to break with the heavy episodes and when to keep us wringing our hands and searching for the anti-anxiety meds for weeks on end. Some have undoubtedly felt frustrated this season…
Goodbye Stranger: Demons, Dirt and Deviation It’s been a while since my last SPN review here at the Winchester Family Business, and boy is it good to be back! So, without further ado let’s talk about Goodbye Stranger. It was an odd mesh of characters, old and new themes and a good send off…
Supernatural Season Three Hits and Misses – Part One Hit: The Time Loop There probably isn’t much need to explain why this is a hit – it was a pretty genius move. Not only was this episode full of hysterical moments like Dean’s obliviousness to the entire loop and Sam’s increasing deja vu to the…
Thoughts on “A Little Slice of Kevin” Season eight of “Supernatural” has been one of my favourites thus far. It’s up there among season four (my favourite season bar none) and season five, my second favourite season, though season eight is certainly edging up there. The writing this season has been strong and feels…
Thoughts on 8×05 – Blood Brother This episode was by and large a relaxing, time filler type episode – it allowed everyone to take a breath, process what we know and laid some ground work for the coming weeks. And I enjoyed it. Like some earlier episodes such Home or Provenance, it was a…
Thoughts on Bitten When I first saw the promo and heard the premise of this episode, I was skeptical. After it aired and I had yet to watch it, I became more skeptical after catching wind of the very split reactions this episode seemed to garner. Though I make a point to not read others…
Thoughts on “Supernatural” 8.03 – “Heartache” Well, so far so good. For this viewer at least, season eight is three for three so far. This episode had a different MOTW storyline, good pacing, great writing and some absolutely beautiful filming. Additionally this episode showcased some brother moments that demonstrated character maturity and change without breaking…
