Interview With Supernatural Writer and Producer Sera Gamble, Part One
A seven week hiatus can be rather maddening. Given Supernatural’s explosive season four and the mind boggling material that’s been presented for ten episodes, this time to reflect has left me with more questions than answers. I’m sure I’m not alone. Thankfully, Sera Gamble, Supervising Producer and Writer for Supernatural, an instrumental player in developing the…
Recap – Dream A Little Dream of Me
The best horror I’ve ever seen were psychological thrillers, where some twisted bastard skillfully freaked me out with mind bending twists as opposed to a hockey mask and a chainsaw. So, I had to admit the idea of Supernatural tackling such a concept in “Dream A Little Dream of Me” was pretty intriguing. How could…
How Did I Miss This?????
So, yesterday I’m doing the usual rounds, checking out BuddyTV to see if anything is new. I click on a link for an Eric Kripke interview done by CW Connect in the videos section, thinking it was new. I soon discover the interview is from September, right around premiere time. I’m scratching my head, wondering how…
Top Ten Supernatural Brotherly Moments, 1-6
Sorry to leave everyone hanging! As promised, numbers 1-6 of the Top Ten Brotherly Moments. #6 – Sam hugs Dean – “Mystery Spot” There are three brotherly hugs in the series. The first is when Dean hugs Sam after he’s resurrected in “All Hell Breaks Loose Part II”. “Mystery Spot” is the second, and the…
The Top Ten Supernatural Brotherly Moments
I sat down today all ready to write down my New Year’s resolutions, yet somehow my drifting mind and wandering fingertips came up with a Top Ten Supernatural Brotherly Moments list instead. Maybe because yesterday was our season one episode marathon and I realized all the really cool brotherly stuff was in the other three seasons. Needless to…
A Not So Memorable Look Back At “Bugs”
Recently I’ve been working on a retrospective of Season One, a season I’ve largely ignored from a critical viewpoint due to lack of time. Also recently, I’ve been on the fan forums seeking lively discussion and have mostly come across griping about character direction and Season Four in general, even though this is by far this…
Recap: “Mystery Spot”
It’s no secret that my favorite episode of all time is “Mystery Spot”. It was one of the very first reviews I ever wrote for blogcritics, and after going through it for reposting here, I found that review wasn’t very good. This episode is so good, so spectacular in its detail, that it deserved its…
Jensen vs. Jared: I’m Going There
This is a debate I usually avoid, dismissing it as just a bunch of bored fans stirring up unnecessary trouble. Hell, I even chastised BuddyTV for bringing it up last month. However, two things this week triggered my addressing the issue. First, comments on my review of “Heaven and Hell” on blogcritics have turned into…
Alice’s Review: “Jus In Bello”
Boy, did I get an interesting one for what turns out to be the only season three episode I have left to review. “Jus In Bello” is a highly buzzed episode from seasoned writer Sera Gamble, and it ended up being one of the highest rated of the season. As much great action, drama, and…
Recap: “Heaven and Hell”
Kripke doesn’t waste anytime getting into the action, so I won’t either. The first scene continues from the standoff from last week. To sum up, angels on one side, Sam, Dean, and Ruby on the other, and Anna hiding in the other room. Anna has to die, Sam and Dean are appalled. Got all that? Great! Uriel…
Recap: I Know What You Did Last Summer
Ah, the polarizing episode. I love recapping these. The episode that sharply divides the fan base between loved it and hated it. I understand the hated it part. After all, Dean was relegated to supporting character and there was probably way more Ruby than people would have liked. I also understand the loved it, because that’s me. Ruby had to be…
