Any episode with Jack is probably going to be a good episode.

Several Days Later If you’re like me, your mind is consumed with holiday and year end lists right now – gift list, shopping list, grocery list, to-do lists (multiple) and the get-it-done-before-Dec.31 list. As much as you want to obsess over Supernatural’s mid-season cliffhanger, you run out of hours in the day before you run…
Doesn’t this episode title feel like one we’ve had before? Probably not a good sign…
(Editor’s Note: I’m going to send apologies up front. I know that many of you come here for Nightsky’s “Threads” on Friday and expect a very upbeat spin on things. Unfortunately, her review must be deferred to next week so you get my two cents first. I don’t like playing the curmudgeon, but “The Spear”…

There’s been a little bit to ponder each week and so far I’m not left with the…
The Morning After Emotionally touching and brutally disturbing. That’s a jolting juxtaposition to incorporate into one episode but Supernatural “Unhuman Nature” carried it off extremely well. The acting delivered by the entire Supernatural cast once again elevated the story to a captivating intensity.
THEN: Dean tells Jack he’ll be the one killing him if he goes bad. We see Jack with his powers shortly after being born as well as Lucifer attacking him and taking his grace. Nick, sans Lucifer, is shown as well, struggling with who he is and what happened to his family. NOW: “I’ve got…
Sorry for the delay on this one. It’s probably important to go on record with my reactions and questions before we get answers, though!
Boy, is the show on a good streak right now.
