In light of Born-Again Identity there has been much discussion surrounding Sam’s hallucinations and Castiel’s solution. Some are totally fine with the way things played out while others feel very dissatisfied. While I can understand where the latter camp is coming from, my own views lead toward the former and I wanted to explain why.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one. I just finished the episode and many emotions and thoughts are running around at full speed. This episode was brilliantly conceived and beautifully executed. Any faults that there have been with season seven have nearly been corrected by this one 42-minute installment. Let’s see…
Originally I was going to wait and write this review later in the week (for a number of reasons including exam induced study-recluse status which I only come out of for Supernatural) but after that episode, I felt too inspired to let it lie, even for a couple days. Right off the bat I’m going…
“Supernatural”: The Musical or How I’ll Fulfill My Fantasy of a “Supernatural” Musical Episode Come Hell or High Water Having accepted the possibility that there may never be a “Supernatural” musical episode (sob!), I’ve decided to make my own version. Depending on the response, I’ll do a few of these to various numbers…
Season One Hits and Misses: Part Two Here is part two of the Hits and Misses of Season One. Again, these are in no particular order. Enjoy! Hit: Teaser in the Pilot As openings go, “Supernatural” has one of the best ones around. We begin with a happy, thriving family. Precocious four year old,…
Season One Hits and Misses: Part One Since the Hits and Misses of season seven got such a good response, I thought why not take a look back at the previous six seasons and talk about what worked and what didn’t. So, in no particular order, here are the hits and misses of season…
Where to even begin with this one? I’m sure what I say will have already been said in the other wonderful reviews (which I haven’t read yet). This episode was a powerful one, with a wonderfully dark air about it that landed somewhere as a beautiful cross between Criminal Minds and Supernatural. So, without further…

People are crazy. 2007: Purple nurples, candies, aliens and bickering – welcome to the show, Mr. Trickster! 2008: Melon ballers – not just a kitchen utensil. 2009: Old friends say hello, new friends say goodbye. 2010: Thanks for the pies and the love,…

We’re Ghost! Ghostfacers! Stay in the kitchen…
Admittedly, when I saw the trailer for this episode I was unsure what to expect. Clowns, while not a fear of mine, are kind of creepy and I just generally don’t like them. The other episode featuring clowns, “Everybody Loves a Clown” isn’t on my all-time favourite list so that gave me pause when coming…
Somehow, the gap between this and the last episode felt simultaneously long and short. Maybe because there has been a lot to process about the show recently or maybe because this season has at times, felt like different seasons meshed together. This episode in particular did not feel gelled with many of the other episodes…
It’s time to take a look at all the episode twelves from the first six seasons of Supernatural. This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Twelve 2006: “God save us from half the people who think they’re doing God’s work.” 2007: “Ex-marine, raised his kids on the road, cheap motels, backwood cabins, real paramilitary survivalist…
