Threads: Walker 1.06 “Bar None”

The Morning After “Bar None”, the sixth installment in Walker’s first season, continued the series’ positive trend of each episode improving over the last. Focusing primarily on character exploration and family dynamics, the duo writing team of Casey Fisher & Paula Sabbaga delivered a story with nuanced emotions and multi-layered intrigue.  The last few minutes of…

Reviews That I Missed: “Supernatural” 2.08 – “Crossroad Blues”

So yeah, you knew that they were eventually going to get back to the whole Dean guilt over John thing, weren’t you?  “Crossroad Blues” did so in quite a spectacular way.  It introduced some very vital lore in the show’s history while digging that knife deep into Dean Winchester’s very fragile psyche, setting him up…

Wrangling Walker 1.04 “Don’t Fence Me In”

I liked Walker‘s fourth episode, “Don’t Fence Me In” – mostly. Cordell seems to be getting more comfortable re-inhabiting his real life (as opposed to running away/being undercover) and his family. I like how hard he’s trying to bond with Micki, and that he even calls Trey to find out a little more about how…

Alice’s Review: Walker Episode 1.03, aka The One With the Beautiful Car

Okay, I see some improvement.

Puts your mind at ease.”  Hoyt seemed to fit…

Walker 1.03 “Bobble Head” – A Drive in the Right Direction

That’s more like it! Walker has definitely taken a “drive” in the right direction, correcting several of the start-up bumps in the road that it experienced in its first two episodes. If you’ve just found Jared Padalecki’s new series on The CW, my first impressions of the show were overall very positive, but did note…

Reviews I Missed: “Supernatural” 2.07, “The Usual Suspects”

Ah, “The Usual Suspects.”  This is one of my happy episodes.  This is “Supernatural” at it’s finest.  An opener that caught our attention from the word go, Smart Sam, cocky Dean, a brisk plot, a mystery that kept us guessing until the end, just so much goodness.  It was a standalone, having little relevance to…
