I’m not sure what it is about “Shadow,” but it’s not one of my favorites. After re-watching I figured out why. For a good chunk of the episode, it isn’t thrilling. It’s boring actually. Since the plot isn’t so great, the strengths of the episode easily come from the Winchester family drama.
I’ll tell you, when I get my daily news feeds from Variety, it’s once in a blue moon that anything is every mentioned about our show. Not only was there a mention today, it’s a full fledged article! I got goosebumps reading all the love. Source: Variety.com Read the full article at: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118014263.html (There’s a cool…
Ah, “The Benders.” What can you say about this episode? It’s so”¦depraved. For the first time, the MOTW is just one really sick family. John Shiban, complete with X-Files pedigree, wrote this episode, so naturally the comparisons are made to that series’ icky tale of a family gone horribly wrong. This might not be the stomach churning, completely disturbing inbreeding…
(This was originally posted on Blogcritics.org in 2010 but is no longer there. I’m reposting here so I’ll have a proper archive of all my SPN reviews.) On my website, thewinchesterfamilybusiness.com, I’ve been going back and doing mini reviews of Supernatural season one as the episodes air in syndication on TNT. The idea is that…
Looking back at the last year since the loss of Kim Manners, it’s amazing how much his legacy still sticks with everyone. Sure, he holds a spot near and dear to Supernatural fan’s hearts, but he touched many lives throughout his long and brilliant career and was very well respected by the time he made his way to our little…
Okay, prepare for a lovefest. One of my absolute favorite episodes is “Nightmare.” So before you all say the “so typical for a Sam fan” remarks, allow me to make my points! This is a turning point episode. Phil Sgriccia is the director, Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker are the writers. The eerie tone, the creepy mystery, the intense…
It’s Friday! It must be clip day! I wasn’t sure if I was getting these this week but I was thrilled to see them. So, for those that haven’t seen the official description, here goes: SAM’S BODYSNATCHED! – High school nerd Gary (guest star Colton James), conjures up a body-switching spell and changes bodies with Sam…
Granted I’m a little late in sharing this info, but that’s what happens with a gmail spam filter! My good friends, Heather and Lindsay at Support Supernatural, have found an incredible way to for fans and even non-fans to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. And they’ve gotten help from Eric Kripke himself. Below is…

Afterward, come back here and tell us what you think. I have an announcement too! Robin Vogel, who’s been doing…
Faellie had mentioned this to me not to long ago, but yesterday I got a press release sharing the details. In honor of Supernatural season five launching on Living in the UK soon, there is a new alternate reality game. Below are all the details. It sound like fun! You UK fans will have to…
If I ever get that extended interview with Eric Kripke one of the questions on my list is “Tell me, at the pitch meeting for “Route 666” how did the words “racist truck” make the cut?” I have a list in process called the “Eric Kripke WTF? Moments.” Not to spoil too much, but it’s there. I…
I did a full recap of “Faith” during the last hiatus because it’s one of those early episodes that had a deep impact on season four. It’s the first episode to introduce Dean’s issues with God, something that went from the background to foreground in a big way. I think Castiel had something to do with that. Still,…
