Okay, so season six and seven of Supernatural have been unpopular in many ways with the fandom. And understandably so: there were changes to the atmosphere of the show, characters were altered in confusing and non-sensical ways, plots have been dropped at random and character development has been questionable at time. So, with all that…
The Week in Supernatural History – Episode Eleven Well, episode eleven of season seven was kind of a letdown, let’s see how it measures up against previous episode elevens: 2006: Pretty blondes who are overly friendly – just say no.
Through the years, episode twelve has been a mix of okay filler and some truly classic Supernatural installments. This episode falls squarely in the middle for me. I enjoyed most all the elements of this episode and despite its lack of overall season-plot momentum, it kind of worked. There isn’t that much to discuss really,…
Opening with a rock montage recap of the season so far actually had me feeling pretty good about how the first episode back would shake down. All our favourite players were on the board in the recap and reminded us exactly where we left off, as well as the storylines that are still hanging. The…
Tis the season for reflections and looking back and with that in mind, I sat down to do a look at season seven of Supernatural so far. Over all, I love season seven in spite of a few glaring problems that I’ll touch on below. Mostly though, the great moments outweigh the few bad things…
In Memory of Thursday’s Angel Dearest Castiel, You came into our lives unexpectedly with flash and promise… You were threatening… You were naive…. You rebelled…. You were clever…. You were innovative… You were amusing…. You were brave… You tried a hand a being human…. You were sad…. You went a little evil (but…
Impact, Creativity, Art and Community There aren’t many shows out there that really, truly impact our lives. Certainly not at the individual level, anyways. Supernatural has always been a show that has enriched my life: that sounds corny, I know, but bear with me. Since Supernatural has come into my life I have met a…
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Ten As witnessed in the most recent episode of Supernatural, episode ten traditionally leaves us feeling emotionally drained and/or shocked and/or grieving; or all of the above. So let’s take a look back at those not-so-fuzzy but pivotal moments from our beloved show: 2005: “Dad?” 2006: “Before Dad…
No doubt about it, episode ten has historically packed one heck of an emotional punch and this one is not breaking that pattern. Death’s Door was nothing short of perfect. I’ve broken the two coinciding streams of this episode apart and examined them as whole pieces, rather than intercut with one another, so bear with…
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Nine 2005: A pleading phone call, a snarky psychic and a family reunion in Kansas 2006: A long-hatched plan starts taking shape 2008: Witches and demons, oh my! 2008: “You’re now tuned to the soothing sounds of Enochian plotting on Angel…
This episode had the feel of being handled by a seasoned Supernatural vet – it was dark, the characters were totally on point and the plot rolled forward. This review will be a bit shorter than usual, I think, because this episode felt largely like a vehicle to get to next week which is just…
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Eight 2005: Cursed land, steam showers and bugs 2006: Crossroads deals: take one 2007: Merry Fudgin’ Christmas, Sam and Dean! 2008: “Life is meaningless. Signed, T. Bear” 2009: Sexy MD, CSI: SPN, Herpexia, Nut-a-Cracker!, Sampala and Gabriel revealed 2010: Skin-walkers, snipers, souls
