Episode 13.04 is titled “The Big Empty” and begins with a man entering an apartment and encountering his dead wife, who stabs him in the gut, then leaves. In the bunker, Dean is investigating the death. Sam suggests that Jack join them on the hunt. Dean resists but Sam wins the argument. He goes to…
“Your gift, you try to force it down to make yourself happy, you’ll only make yourself miserable.” The story sounds familiar doesn’t it? “Supernatural” going into the thematic vaults to tackle the whole “accepting who you are and the gifts you have been given despite the side effects” storyline. Will pursuing those gifts make…
A return to the more classic horror story-style structure with some familiar faces for a dash of nostalgic flavour, Supernatural was almost an old-school installment this week with a basic storyline, peppered with Jack’s journey and Sam’s role as a mentor. Not to mention Dean’s further descent into grief and depression via anger. A top…
This episode won’t be in the running for a spot on my personal favorites list of Supernatural stories, but it did have one scene in particular that’s pretty darn awesome.
The Morning After There is so much to say about Supernatural 13.3 “Patience”! Themes of death, grief, controlling power, family, friends, and teens discovering their talents and exploring how they feel about themselves in the face of conflicting input from the people in their lives, all combined to create a multi-layered, engaging story. The long overdue…
Supernatural‘s third episode of season 13, “Patience,” opens in a house in Omaha, Nebraska. A young woman, who we later find out is Dede the psychic, is closing shop when a man comes in. She opens back up for him, thinking he needs help. He turns out to be a wraith and he kills her.
Four Days Later Following on the heels of a fabulous season 13 premiere episode, “The Rising Son” was a tense, suspenseful, thoughtful second chapter in the story of Jack, the misunderstood all-powerful-being child. Once again, Alexander Calvert’s nuanced portrayal of the most powerful creature on earth housed inside a naïve, well-intentioned 3 day, 17 hours…
Flair, drama and sense of fashion. Supernatural has a new leader in Hell and he promises to add another dash of villainy and colour to an already bubbling season. “The Rising Son” was a study of characters and plot, ebbing onward from the sadness of the premiere to introduce some of the major players…
Last week, I embraced my inner Chuck and pronounced the premiere episode of Supernatural to be “not bad.” This week, I’m going to have to go with “not terrible.” I really hope this trend doesn’t continue and the episodes get better, but for now…there’s some enjoyment to be had. I did laugh a few times…
This second episode of Supernatural‘s season thirteen, called “The Rising Son,” begins with a scene in the hell throne room with two minions waiting for Lucifer to save them. A bright light appears through a door and Asmodeus appears, the Fourth Prince of Hell, who promises to purge hell of the corporate lackeys and bring…
Aaaannndddd we’re back! Right, exactly where we left off, Supernatural picks up in the heart-shredding, creepy moment that it left us oh, so many months ago to learn what exactly happens when a Nephilim enters the world with the Winchester brothers there to bear witness. Hint: chaos, drama and pain. The premiere of season thirteen…
I’m happy to be reviewing this first episode of Supernatural Season 13. I’ve tried to have few expectations about the awesomeness (or not) of this new season, but to just let the story wash over me and see how it made me feel. The verdict: In the immortal words of Chuck, who didn’t deign to…
