I LOVE “Phantom Traveler.” Is it flawless? Of course not. But still, this episode sets so many precedents. First appearance of demons and demonic possession. First appearance of Dean’s homemade EMF reader. First time the boys put on suits to “look the part.” The first time sulfur is found. The first exorcism performed and we learn for the first time how dreamy Sam’s…
Update 1/8 – A few more to share! The end of the year, aka, the slow news cycle. This is when all the media types take their more than extra time to look back at the year that was and come up with their “2009 lists.†TV analysts are particularly prone to this activity, because…
Here I’ve been announcing all the accolades Supernatural has gotten on Year End lists, and the show goes and wins an actual award in this TV and movie awards season. After losing last year, Supernatural has won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show! Wow! This was considered by many to be one of those “snowball’s chance”…
“Dead In The Water” is an “on the fence” episode for me. There is plenty of good, but there is also plenty of bad. This is the debut for the series of Kim Manners as director and Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker as writers. Even though this is the creative team that has taken the show to amazing…
I heard rumors about this a couple of days ago, but scoffed at the source. Just an hour ago, Just Jared, a very reliable site, broke the news. Of course they’re crediting Kristin Dos Santos, who’s also reliable. (The announcement on EOnline though was posted by Jennifer Godwin, who has great inside sources within the Supernatural…
As far as episodes go, “Wendigo” for any other show out there today would end up being a mediocre effort. When compared to the 92 episodes that have aired for Supernatural so far though, it actually sucks. Not really bad, but bad enough where it makes the “What was Kripke thinking” files. The first clue that the monster…
In honor of Supernatural starting in US second run syndication on TNT today, I thought that since I didn’t start writing reviews until season three, when I actually started watching the show, for each season one and two episode aired I’ll write a quick 500 word review. It’s a nifty little challenge because once I get…
Almost every episode has them. Usually episodes can be categorized as either not a winner, dividing the fandom, or being a major classic. With almost every episode though, there is a small little moment between the characters that make us smile or giggle. Subtle reminders as to why we love this show. They aren’t earth shattering or ground breaking,…
Anyone who doesn’t think that pets can be fun during the holidays has never bought reindeer antlers for the soul purpose of having fun with Fido and Fluffy. Before I share some off the wall holiday snapshots of animals not enjoying their stupid owner’s sense of humor, first, I want to share an announcement from…
It’s been my goal to clean up and improve my Season Three recaps as I can. I so far have only fixed “Mystery Spot,” so in honor off the holidays here’s my new and improved recap for “A Very Supernatural Christmas.” Enjoy! ——————————————————————————- What a better way to celebrate this special holiday season than to re-experience…
When I last left off profiling the words of wisdom spouted by our intrepid hero those many months ago (dodges flying tomatoes), Dean had just sort of sold his soul to a demon in order to bring Sam back from the dead. Talk about a perspective changer. Dean’s sharp tongued lines went from snarky in season one to…
Winter Hellatus. It’s not all bad. This is the time where we all can take a deep breath, sit back, and examine with objectivity the 10 hours of Supernatural season five we’ve been given thus far. It’s a chance to see the forest from the trees and look at the work as one big mass rather than the…
