Alice’s Review: Supernatural 13.04 – “The Big Empty” aka, Oh the Feels!

Oh damn show, you got me this time.  My usual tough exterior crumpled like a Kleenex after that beautiful act of catharsis.  You know, that really should have been the name of this episode.  There was quite a bit of emotional release in the end on both sides of the screen.     This week’s…

The Winchester Family Business Site Rules – Updated

Recently, I had to shut down the site because of horrible, negative, disrespectful fighting in our comment section that went against everything we stand for here at the Winchester Family Business.    I will remind, we have always had a set of rules in place, and these rules were blantanly violated.  I will make the…
