“To the pain.” The phrase will be familiar to any fan of the movie The Princess Bride, but it is most appropriate for the Supernatural episode “Red Meat.” Rather than taking everything but the ears as Westley threatens Humperdink in the movie, we see each character tested in their own ways. In many ways, the…
I’ve been reviewing “Supernatural” a long time. I started way back in season three and a few hundred episodes later I’m still looking at each one of these episodes under a microscope. It’s amazing how many of these eps, especially in the hands of lesser writers, become paint by number affairs. Tell a standard MOTW…
This episode, co-written by Andrew Dabb and Robert Berens, is titled “Red Meat.” The episode employs a similar storytelling technique as last week’s Thompson episode “Safe House” in which two stories are happening contiguously.

There. That’s the show I know and love. I admit that I was less enthused coming back from the month long break. Episodes 11-15 were lackluster at best (minus the brilliant “The Vessel”). I also knew that the show doesn’t like digging to the mytharc until about episode 17 or 18, so we were…
The episode, written by a fan favorite Robbie Thompson and titled “Safe House”, begins with a woman renovating a house and her daughter screamed. The little girl is scared and says something is in the house. Come to find out, she was right.
On the surface, it would seem that the two stories in “Beyond the Mat” run on parallel lines never to meet. Dig deeper, and we can see that they not only intersect, they reflect one another. Each builds on the other in subtle ways that allows us to explore character, motive, and the conflicts yet…
