“Malleus Maleficarum” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel I had early knowledge of this episode during my Vancouver visit when I learned they were filming a witch episode next, really, really scary and good, is what I was told. While this ep had its good points, it doesn’t fall amongst my favorites. Meh. Paul and Janet,…
“A Very Supernatural Christmas” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel This episode would be on my top 10 list of favorites. It’s a really sick episode with a heartwarming brotherly ending, filled with really terrible sick, funny stuff, including terrorizing children, which is SO cruel and wrong for a Christmas episode. Plus we learn where Dean got…
“Fresh Blood” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Gordon Walker is out of prison and needs to find out where Sam is so he can kill him. He knows Bela has recently been hanging out with the brothers in Massachusetts, so he waits by her car and sticks a huge gun in her face, demanding to…
“Red Sky at Morning”Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Many people, including Kripke himself, don’t like this episode. He says so through Chuck in “The Monster at the End of This Book.” I happen to think it’s not that bad, and seeing Sam and Dean in tuxedoes is worth the price of admission. It’s got a…
“Bedtime Stories” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Could you BE more gay? is what Dean asks Sam in the course of this investigation. Three hefty brothers argue at a construction site. One is killed by a snarling creature, the other survives the attack. A big, fat frog wends its way through this entire episode, hoping,…

“Magnificent Seven” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Welcome to the first new episode of season 3! I was disappointed after the beauty of “In My Time of Dying,” which was about as perfect as a SUPERNATURAL episode can get, but this episode had its high points, too. “Hell’s Bells” plays over the re-cap, which was…
“All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Sam is dead, and it’s been a couple of days. In some cabin somewhere, he lies peacefully on a mattress red with his blood, and Dean has been crying and talking to him, unable to accept his failure to protect his brother. Bobby keeps stopping…
“All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Kripke wraps up the “special kids” storyline in this and the next episode, for some, in an anticlimactic way. Kripke himself said he was getting tired of it, so instead of an army of special kids, he wanted the group pared down to one,…
“What is and What Should Never Be” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Of all the episodes of SUPERNATURAL, this one is often given as many fans’ number one favorite. For me, next to the one in which Sam dies, it’s also the most heartbreaking. Trust me when I tell you that the first time I saw…
