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…
I don’t know about the rest of you but for me Repo Man was a breath of fresh air. I’ve loved the last few standalone episodes but I have definitely been craving a little more substance as well. I’ve always been a big fan of the larger story arch format that Supernatural has taken on…
Yeah, thanks Mr. Edlund. You went and did it again. My stomach is tore up in knots, Sam is left burning in Hell (mentally), and I’m stuck with that crushing vision in my head of his subtle yet tragic breakdown until March 16th. Yeah, thanks a lot. Oh, I know better. This means that…
Sacrifice, especially self-sacrifice, is the Winchester Way. In order that Dean may live and either “save or kill” Sam, John sacrificed himself to Azazel. In order for Sam to live, Dean sold his soul to bring back Sam. In order for the world to avert the Apocalypse, Sam sacrificed himself both to Lucifer and to…
Review ““ 7×15 “Repo Man” By sweetondean Warning: contains episode spoilers. He’s a psychopath Sam, that’s what they do all the time, is act. Act like they’re normal, act like they’re not balls to the wall crazy. I agree with Dean, demons I get, people are crazy. In fact, I’m pretty sure if…
Vamptopuses. Leprechauns. A pizza chain for kids. Unicorns that shoot rainbows out of its ass. Clowns. “Plucky’s Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie” is a whimsical episode breaking up the darkness that has comprised much of season 7. And yet, underneath its fun airiness, a tragic but hopeful undertone lurks inside the episode. We start with Sam…
This is a tricky review to write. As I look over my notes, I realize that this was one of those really funny episodes that kind of didn’t go anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed a lot and found it to be a pretty enjoyable hour of television. But as far as major plot…
Review: 7×14 Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie Warning: Contains episode spoilers – Wait, so now Unicorns are evil? Yeah, obviously. I could say this week’s episode was a bit light on with the mythology. I could say the brothers seemed to be leaps and bounds away from last week’s mood. I could say what’s going…
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…
One of Supernatural’s greatest strengths is its ability to weave a Monster of the Week into the fabric of the overarching season story. “Heart,” “Metamorphosis,” and “A Very Supernatural Christmas,” are all prime examples. “The Slice Girls” is no exception. Inside the grotesque and disturbing story of Amazon women is Dean’s story. It’s reflected in…
Oh boys, you’re killing me! I do admit, like the other reviewers here at this site, I wasn’t sure what to expect from “The Slice Girls.” It looked like more irrelevant filler to me. Boy was I wrong. It’s one of the better Sam/Dean character studies to come from “Supernatural” in a while. The last…
When I saw the preview for “The Slice Girls” I was more than a little skeptical about the premise of the episode. The whole thing was a little too “Breaking Dawn” for me. Any other Twilight readers out there? No? Just me? That’s ok. I’m only a little embarrassed. But I actually ended up enjoying…
