Flair, drama and sense of fashion. Supernatural has a new leader in Hell and he promises to add another dash of villainy and colour to an already bubbling season. “The Rising Son” was a study of characters and plot, ebbing onward from the sadness of the premiere to introduce some of the major players…
Aaaannndddd we’re back! Right, exactly where we left off, Supernatural picks up in the heart-shredding, creepy moment that it left us oh, so many months ago to learn what exactly happens when a Nephilim enters the world with the Winchester brothers there to bear witness. Hint: chaos, drama and pain. The premiere of season thirteen…
One of the last Supernatural episodes of season 12 that was more formulaic and standard MOTW than big-picture focused, “Ladies Drink Free” was a decent easement back after the March mini-hiatus. Even in retrospect, the episode offered entertainment and drama without too much heady overflow in advance of what the rest of the season would…
Inspiration and Unity: The Power in Family Don’t End With Blood Love can be hard to verbalize. It goes beyond simply the four-letter word or a moment in time. It is an enduring experience that moves us and impacts our world view in ways we never knew possible but can’t possibly imagine changing once we…
12 Years of Big Boss Battles: Supernatural Villainy for the Ages “I’m glad, honestly. I’m not saying we bury the thing, I’m saying we just save it for when we really need it. Crowley, Metatron — the big boss fights.” – Sam, 9.22 Stairway to Heaven After twelve seasons of Supernatural – including one heck…
Rich, riveting, complex and so full of story details and character threads that it’s impossible to make anything of Supernatural’s “Stuck in the Middle (With You)” in just one viewing. Consequently, my review offers observations from two separate viewings: My original reactions when the episode first aired plus additional thoughts from my hiatus rewatch. These “retrospectives”…
The list you’ve all been waiting for! The second half of the season eleven hits and misses. Let’s dive right in…
The 250th episode! Who knew way back when the mission was searching for John and mourning Jess that this is where we’d end up all these years later? First Blood was a bit of a different flavor for Supernatural – but then a lot of season twelve has been about changing it up in that…
Who We Are and All Along the Watchtower were excellent, both independent and united. Season twelve has had some decent episodes and has been sluggish about some key plots, no question. The payoff here makes the waiting worth it. Between character and story, 12.22 and 12.23 offer not only answers we’ve been looking for but…
While not at all what I expected from where we left off last week, There’s Something About Mary was, simply put, too short an episode that left me anxious and salivating for both karmic twists and conclusions. Typically by this point of the season there are so many things aligning and pieces being revealed to…
Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes had all the perfect ingredients and knew exactly how to blend them in the perfect storm of an episode. Excitement, emotion, drama, cliffhangers and action, 12.20 delivered a quick-moving storyline and left this audience member surprised to see the forty-two minutes were gone already, exceedingly pleased with how it…
Whoa! That was quite the unexpected episode in some of the best ways. The Future was all about addressing the present, answering some of the dangling question marks, the curious plot threads and the teaser pieces that have been dragging on for several weeks with no satisfaction, in some cases way, way too long. In…
