Ever get a sense of deja vu…
Supernatural 15.11 “The Gamblers”– Lady Luck and Being Heroes
What an episode. I’ve mentioned before that some of my favorite episodes of Supernatural are the ones where we get to see the Winchesters being their competent and confident selves, and this episode was a perfect example. I thought the episode was properly structured, focusing primarily on the Winchesters, whilst also moving our story forward with Jack…
Thoughts on Supernatural 15.11 “The Gamblers”
Whew, this was nothing like I expected and everything I needed after last week. Where 15.10 was humorous if lackluster, “The Gamblers” was a taut piano wire of angst, emotion and plot that held me until the second the screen went dark. Ripe with intensity and information, we even got Jack back by the end….

The Morning After Well, that was intense. Between watching Jack eat the heart of someone he murdered, causing me to worry what evil manifestation of Jack had returned, and being scared to death about Sam and Dean staking their lives on a pool game against a goddess, my poor heart was pounding through my chest…
Let’s Speculate: Supernatural 15.11 “The Gamblers”
Then: We see the inept Winchesters from last week’s episode, “All good things must come to an end,” Michael/Adam telling them about the way to trap God, Chuck destroying that spell, a mention of grigori hunting humans, Sam and Dean determined to go to Alaska to restore their luck. Now: The song “North to Alaska”…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 15.10, “The Heroes’ Journey” aka It’s Surreal!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…wait, what? Wow, that was freaking brilliant. For once, I’m pleasantly surprised. For those that did not realize (and I haven’t read this from anyone yet) Andrew Dabb pulled a fast one on us. It’s pretty clever. The official name for the genre used here is surrealism, but a more modern day term is a…
Supernatural 15.10 “The Heroes’ Journey”– The Challenges of Normal
What a fascinating episode. The last few episodes have been very confusing and confounding for me, so it was nice to have a simpler episode, but one which was no less emotionally and thematically relevant and complex.
Thoughts on Supernatural 15.10 “The Heroes’ Journey”
“The Heroes’ Journey” was certainly an interesting episode. As far as timing goes, it was a dose of levity after so much angst and turmoil. That said, this episode left me with mixed feelings overall in spite of the laughter and effervescent presence of DJ Qualls’ Garth.

The Morning After On the surface, Supernatural’s “The Heroes’ Journey” was a hilarious break in the intensity of the brothers’ lives, watching Sam and Dean fumble and bumble around like two extremely uncoordinated buffoons in a bunker! It was also a delightful goodbye to Garth, who got to save the day and live happily ever…
Let’s Speculate: Supernatural 15.10 “The Heroes’ Journey”
THEN: Chuck says, “I hate missing my favorite show.” The Winchesters kill monsters. Lots of killing. Dean says, “We’re the guys who saved the world.” We see Garth with his werewolf wife. Chuck says, “You still think you’re the hero of this story.” He destroys their spell and says, “That was just the beginning. This…
