Well, we were uninamous, but that’s not necessarily good. All four of us at the TV Fanatic Roundtable, myself, Nightsky, Christine Laskodi and Sean McKenna, all pretty much though “There’s Something About Mary” was crap. We all thought that Eileen’s death was pointless and handled poorly, and we aren’t very pleased the way Mary and…
I’ve struggled with this review for several days. I’ve considered, started, and then reconsidered all sorts of ways to express just how wrong “There’s Something About Mary” was and how it was a betrayal to a variety of fans. This was just more than another bad, poorly written episode by Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming. …
Episode 20 in this show has always been a bit of an odd duck. It’s meant to be the warmup to the big climax that is coming. There have been huge classics like last season’s “Don’t Call Me Shurley” or what I call a true masterpiece of the series, season six’s “The Man Who Would…
Huh, that was interesting. That’s good “interesting.” I can’t explain how or why, but I thought this was a well done hour. I’ve been really missing Castiel and I’ve been skeptical about this whole Luci baby drama. I like this turn. Is the baby good or evil? Please let it be good. That would be…
Apologies for the delayed spec tonight. Bookdal had a prior engagement and her fill in, aka moi, couldn’t watch until 9:30. But yeah, this Castiel and Kelly centric story changed things up a bit, don’t you think? Let’s get to the recap. We start in a dingy basement. Kelly Kline is looking worse for wear…
It’s really funny how Nightsky and I seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to analyzing “Supernatural.” That’s not a bad thing, that’s what makes us unique and entertaining, but I always find it interesting how the roundtable format really shows those differences. That’s especially true for our roundtable for…
Whew! What a relief. I was really starting to think that “Supernatural” had forgotten what it was truly about. Thank you John Bring and Phil Sgriccia for reminding everyone. While I’m not going to go as far as calling “The Memory Remains” a series classic or even a totally brilliant hour, it was a…
At this week’s TV Fanatic Roundtable, the good news is our group, myself, Nightsky and Christine Laskodi and Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic were unified in our thoughts on this episode. The bad news, we all thought that “The British Invasion” was a real stinker. You can read all our thoughts on the matter here:…
What the hell? What in the world was that? How did anyone think that tone deaf hour would pass as… (Deep breaths…High road, High road…) Okay, let’s try again. How do I put this mildly? “The British Invasion” was bitterly disappointing. I, like most fans, have various reactions after watching a “Supernatural”…
Claire, Claire, Claire. It seems that any time she pops into our lives, there’s a divide among reviewers as to whether she brings any value or not. Our set of “Supernatural” pundits at TV Fanatic – myself, Nightsky, Christine Laskodi and Sean McKenna – were a little divided this week. Two of us definitely aren’t…
So, a funny thing happen on the way to watching my DVR recording of “Supernatural” on Thursday. Everyone was pixelated, choppy, and talking in really strange voices. I swear it was possessed. Granted that actually improved the character of Claire for me, but that’s not the point (I’m kidding!). Bottom line, I couldn’t watch until…
Running bits? Yeah, you know, those little jokes/references that just won’t die. Something started on a whim early in the series and still carries on years later because their mention makes fans happy. “Supernatural” especially loves repeating items from it’s vast archive simply because it can. There are the obvious ones, like the…
