Thoughts on “Supernatural” 8.03 – “Heartache” Well, so far so good. For this viewer at least, season eight is three for three so far. This episode had a different MOTW storyline, good pacing, great writing and some absolutely beautiful filming. Additionally this episode showcased some brother moments that demonstrated character maturity and change without breaking…
Ah, Supernatural, let’s talk about heart wrenching things, like the Season One-ness of Dean and Sam’s relationship, while watching people literally get their hearts ripped out! Oh Multi-Leveled Show, you slay me… “Heartache” was written by Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming–a pair we have seen scripts from before. Often times they deal with Dean getting…
Supernatural often tells its story through metaphor. Episodes such as “Heart,” “Metamorphosis,” Bedtime Stories,” and “Houses of the Holy” are great examples of this. The formula works because it allows the monster of the week story on the surface to tell a parallel character story underneath. “Heartache” is no different as it tells Sam and…

If you’ve noticed, I’ve been pretty silent about Supernatural so far this season. It’s not that I haven’t been enjoying season eight, I have, it’s just nothing has been blowing me away. It’s early in the season, and the name of the game is patience. I need to give the story a chance to unfold…
I have come to the conclusion that I really need to stop playing on twitter when I am watching a television show. On the one hand, I love the opportunity to converse with other people as crazy about a show as I am! But on the other hand, there is the problem with–well, missing things…Like…
Meg warned the Winchesters in “Reading Is Fundamental” that “Crowley’s always the problem. He’s just waiting for the right moment to strike.” In “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy,” Crowley shows that he’s more than ready to be the big bad standing in Sam and Dean’s way. He is cunning, conniving, and out for blood. He is…
Thoughts on 8×02 – “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?” What’s Up, Tiger Mommy? was a thoroughly enjoyable episode. It had good writing, was well paced, good characterization and, like last week, felt reminiscent of the Supernatural days of yore. So, let’s break this down shall we? Safety Deposit Boxes, Finger Bones and Virgins The opening…
I’m not really sure where to start. For me this episode was a bit of an information overload. Not to say I didn’t enjoy it, just that there were so many different bits of plot going on that it took me a while to see what the episode was trying to accomplish. Looking back, it…
