“Oh, Becky. I can do anything. I’m a writer.” Davy Perez really opened a can of worms in “Atomic Monsters,” hasn’t he? I spent a good long week trying to process the underlying messages about the writers vs. the fans and it’s clever. Wickedly clever. It all leads to a three way struggle for between…
First Monster of the Week episode of the season (depending on how you define episode 2). How did it do?
I am completely and utterly FLOORED by the depth this episode provided, not only for the storyline of the Winchesters but for the story of Becky and Chuck. I mentioned that I had some thoughts about this episode on my Twitter, and I’m hoping that I can make them cohesive here. Before I go anywhere,…
This was an hour of television that unabashedly hit all the feels. From top to bottom, “Atomic Monsters” was dark, emotional and even twisted at times. It was an episode I thoroughly enjoyed…or whatever – it was a hard episode in all the best ways.
The Morning After Well that was intense – in a sneaky, you don’t feel the trauma until it’s over, kind of way. Supernatural 15.04 “Atomic Monsters” had all the signs of being a filler, monster-of-the-week story. Small town mystery of disappearing teens puts the boys together on the road again chasing a case to get…
THEN: We see Rowena, the hell ghosts, Dean saying, “We’ll be free,” Dean stating that he’s angry, Chuck, Becky Rosen using her love potion on Sam, Chuck pleading with Amara, Chuck wincing at the unhealed bullet wound in his shoulder, Amara saying he is trapped.
Me: Dean, haven’t we talked about building those walls? Keeping those you love at arm’s length, being emotionally unavailable? It will result in your worst fear, you will be all alone. Those walls will crumble on you. Dean: Yeah, well how about this wall? (Scene of gruesome violence involving one very large brick wall…) …
Well it’s… the best one of the trilogy.
Goodness. The writers and powers that be are not pulling any punches on us these days, are they? I think we all knew deaths were coming, but I don’t think that we expected any of them so soon. I certainly didn’t. I’m still a little overwhelmed with the episode, so let’s see if I can…
I mean… where do we even begin? There is so much to unpack in “The Rupture” and for the most part, it is all tragedy. I can’t say I enjoyed this episode since it was full of such pain from start to end. What I will say, is that it held me until the end…
As sometimes happens with SPNFamily, I rewatched Supernatural 15.03, “The Rupture” with a friend and fellow fangirl, Lynn Zubernis of FangasmSPN. Lynn and I both write weekly reviews of Supernatural’s episodes, each for different fan sites, and while we each favor a different brother, ship different pairings, and sometimes have extremely different reactions to episodes,…
THEN: ghosts; Belphegor; the taillights of the Impala; Ketch asking about Jack and Cas telling him that Jack is dead, killed by God; Ketch saying that a demon named Ardat hired him to kill Belphegor; Rowena using the soul vacuum; Dean telling Rowena, “Sam kills you;” the hell ghosts plotting to escape; Sam saying they…
