I did not expect this episode to bring on the waterworks quite so much. Maybe I’m just feeling overly sentimental as this season draws to a close but I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions during this episode. And I mean that in a good way. And the best part of it…

One thing Supernatural does best is tug on multiple threads in its story, weaving them together so that each one is essential to the whole. The layers that this provides allows for deep insight into the story and its characters. Each layer adds another texture, another emotion, another clue as to what is being told….
Episodes like “Taxi Driver” are a struggle for me. I had the same problem with last season’s “The Born-Again Identity.” The possibilities are oh so amazing, yet the execution just ends up falling short. It becomes an internal struggle at review time between my inner TV critic and my inner fan girl. Those two bitches…

“Freaks and Geeks” was directed by John Showalter, and there are some great visuals in this episode. Come and take a look!
Thoughts on “Supernatural”: 8×18: Freaks and Geeks – by Elle Like a good drama should, Supernatural has always been fairly adept at knowing when to break with the heavy episodes and when to keep us wringing our hands and searching for the anti-anxiety meds for weeks on end.
