The Morning After Shocked!! What a surprise ending to both Jack and Michael’s plotlines! Chalk up a major win for Team Free Will 2.0, and a major relief for a fandom dreading a season cliffhanger of Dean being buried alive in a coffin at the bottom of an ocean! Let’s look at the scoreboard. Michael…
Three Weeks Later How many times have you rewatched Supernatural’s 300th milestone episode “Lebanon”? In a rare alignment of the planets, all three Winchester Family Business reviewers – Alice, Nate and I – had virtually the same opinion of the episode. We overwhelmingly loved the family reunion with Papa Winchester. We loved the reconciliation between…
How does one put into words SPNFamily’s reaction to Supernatural’s milestone 300th episode, “Lebanon”? It was perfect. Maybe we start there.
Several Days Later Like Supernatural’s episode “Prophet and Loss”, you have to stick with this review all the way to the end because it just may surprise you.
Supernatural 14.11 “Damaged Goods” left much of the Supernatural family devastated, frantically worried about Dean. Since we can’t do anything but wait and worry until we learn how Sam and Castiel will save Dean, let’s lighten the mood a bit and have some Supernatural fun! In Supernatural‘s 14.10 “Nihilism”, the archangel Michael locked Dean into…
The Morning After Depressing. Deeply disturbing. Defeating. Get the drift? Supernatural’s 14.11 “Damaged Goods” was a superbly written story that seamlessly wove together Nick’s story of insanity with Dean’s resignation to the insane idea of burying himself alive, alone, at the bottom of the ocean for all eternity with an enraged archangel mentally and emotionally…
The Morning After Exciting and brilliantly executed. Supernatural’s 14.10 “Nihilism” was another superb chapter in season 14’s story. Jensen was absolutely outstanding, presenting such a chilling and overly-confident Michael that there was no trace of Dean in the face we’ve lovingly obsessed over for 14 years. Thankfully, all the other characters got to play smart…
The Archangel Michael’s conversation with Jack in Supernatural’s 14.9 “The Spear” was, on the surface, the big revelation of Michael’s grand plan for his global domination. Looking at it more closely, however, it is actually a referendum on Jack. Why is he being allowed to live? Will he be corrupted by power over time? Is…
Several Days Later If you’re like me, your mind is consumed with holiday and year end lists right now – gift list, shopping list, grocery list, to-do lists (multiple) and the get-it-done-before-Dec.31 list. As much as you want to obsess over Supernatural’s mid-season cliffhanger, you run out of hours in the day before you run…
Dear Meredith, Thank you for a stunning, emotionally captivating “Byzantium”. My recent “Threads” review of 14.05 “Nightmare Logic” praised your talent, as evidenced by the exceptional episodes you had written for Supernatural. “Byzantium” confirms your place on the list of the series’ best writers.
The Morning After Emotionally touching and brutally disturbing. That’s a jolting juxtaposition to incorporate into one episode but Supernatural “Unhuman Nature” carried it off extremely well. The acting delivered by the entire Supernatural cast once again elevated the story to a captivating intensity.
What happens when two psychologists get together to analyze Supernatural, in all its complex, co-dependent, traumatizing glory? A new book is written on the subject, of course! In November of 2017, Supernatural Psychology: Roads Less Traveled was released by Sterling Publishing, the originator of the Popular Culture Psychology series of books. The book is the joint project of…
