This week episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Robert Singer and is titled “The Foundry.” The cold open begins with a hipster couple leaving a swanky restaurant. They are talking when they stop in front of an abandoned house and hear a baby crying. The woman goes into the house while her…
Guilty of ravagement, this episode shatters illusions for the characters and the audience. “Sorry to burst your bubble.”
“If you ever wanna talk. I know what it’s like to come back and not feel like you really fit,” Sam tells his mother at the end of “Mamma Mia.” In many ways, the statement blankets the entire episode.
Okay, we are only two episodes in so this is probably a premature assessment; but the flavor of the season is settling in nicely so far. “Mamma Mia”had a decent flow, some interesting action and we did finally get to see someone punch Toni in her smug tea-drinking face. How about the rest of the…
When watching any TV show, especially one that you’ve been watching a long time, enjoying an episode more has to do about level setting than anything. For example, I watch “Arrow” for the characters because the plots and villains often fall into ludicrous territory. I watch new show “Designated Survivor” mostly for Kiefer Sutherland but…
A person’s ultimate opinion of an episode depends entirely on what they wanted to get out of it. I wouldn’t term that expectations per se. As much as that person might hope, need or desire to see something, that doesn’t mean necessarily that they expected to see it. For example, I had three things I…
In this second episode of the season titled “Mamma Mia,” the story begins with a surprising sex scene between Sam and his torturer, the British Toni.
Welcome Season 12! This episode aired while the 250th episode was being filmed. Murky Places and Mystery Spots did not detract from the impressive Supernatural team and Cast in this Golden opener.
The title “Keep Calm and Carry On” perfectly sums up the season 12 Supernatural premiere. The phrase, a British saying that originated in World War II, points to so much of what happens. The obvious example can be found in the introduction of our newest villains—the British Men of Letters in Lady Toni—but that is…
Months of waiting in eager, speculative anticipation and I, for one, was not disappointed. As the rock-accompanied recap of the last 23 episodes of the Winchester saga played out, we were left on that dark night in the woods with a stunned Dean and a confused Mary and it’s like no time has passed since…
Welcome to the new season, one based on conversations with Executive Producers Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer, is the new character driven season. Smaller stories that are meant to explore the emotional dilemmas of our characters. Going with that blueprint, did “Keep Calm and Carry On” deliver? For the most part yes, although there were…
Outstanding. Captivating. Riveting. Emotional. Smart. Well written and brilliantly portrayed. Welcome back Supernatural! It’s good to be home again! THAT’s the show we know and love! “Keep Calm and Carry On” is a wonderful beginning to Supernatural’s remarkable 12th season. It seamlessly, skillfully weaves together the reality of the present day, i.e. “Now”, with the…
