The Morning After Cute. That’s the first word that comes to mind to describe Supernatural’s 14.6 episode “Optimism”. Of course, “cute” is how I usually describe Jack, especially when his whole face lights up with his infectious smile. Add in his adorably innocent understanding of courting, dating, love, relationships and “the sex”; a charming, sweet,…
THEN: Lucifer steals Jack’s grace. Various scenes of Michael, Jack, Lucifer, and AU Charlie. As the images end, we hear Dean in a voiceover: “It’s all on me — it’s my fault.”
What is there to say about this episode…
The Morning After Suspenseful and emotional. Supernatural’s “Nightmare Logic” achieved the rare feat of captivating viewers with both action and affection, alternating between unexpected twists in the case and genuine, believable, poignant character development. It engaged viewers’ minds and hearts, a trait that was Supernatural’s hallmark for so very long but hasn’t always been realized…
Tonight’s episode begins with Maggie being brought back to life by Lucifer. THEN: Dean and Sam discuss what if they could stop all evil things — “Then what would we do?” Sam wonders. We see Jack with his powers, various evil creatures, Michael taking over Dean, and Michael telling the werewolf leader that they could…
A funny thing happened on the way to the review and it’s all F. Scott Fitzgerald’s fault. That and crappy Ohio weather. Yep, it’s been one of those weeks. Thursday was the first time this season “Supernatural” wasn’t pre-empted by my local CW station by high school football. Since I had to fill in for…
An episode with its own fake commercial? That’s usually a good sign…
THEN – Michael comes through the doors at the chapel; Dean says, “Sammy, it’s me.” He says he was drowning. They wonder why Michael left his vessel. There are flashes of things Michael did, of Dark Kaia and her spear, and then of various ghost possessions through the years and the use of salt. NOW…
The Morning After Shocking. That’s the word that comes to mind to describe Supernatural’s “The Scar”. I had not been spoiled about Yadira Guevera-Prip’s return as Kaia, so our first glimpse of her in Castiel’s mind sweep of Dean prompted a mouth gaping, sudden inhaling, gasp of shock. That was only nine minutes into the…
NOW – Dean walks with Sam down a narrow stairway in the bunker. He’s looking slightly Han Solo-ish in a white button down shirt with an open black vest. He’s already divested himself of the cap, coat, and suit jacket that Michael favored. He’s talking about what a nightmare it is – but as the…
Well the computer ate my script, so let’s wing this.
The Morning After Contrary to last week’s season 14 premiere, Supernatural’s “Gods and Monsters” defies being summarized by only a single word. Jack’s visit to his grandparents’ home was sweet but Jack’s hard line attitude about killing Dean was disturbing. Nick’s heartbreak when he remembered his wife and infant’s murders was touching, but his regression…
