Supernatural always knows how to weave the quirky and bizarre with the tragic and moving, and “Hunteri Heroici” does this beautifully. The case is looney tunes, literally. Anvils fall from the sky, hearts leap out of chests, and people hover in mid air only to fall once looking down. It is zany and unexplainable. In…
What’s up Doc, indeed! I grew up on Looney Tunes cartoons. They were a staple of my TV watching diet as a kid. They were on all the time. Hell, the channel I work for now still plays Merrie Melodies in the afternoons! I was never a fan of Bugs – that insect-rabbit hybrid…
I love going into a Supernatural episode and not knowing what to expect. Usually when that happens, I’m pleasantly surprised. Not that I’m ranking “Hunteri Heroici” was one of the series best or most innovative, but I came away entertained instead of cursing so that’s something. The day after a Supernatural episode I end…
Season 8 of Supernatural has played with various themes. It has looked at choice, personal responsibility, good intentions, and grief. In “A Little Slice of Kevin,” we see another theme, that of perception, addressed directly. It has been there in various ways throughout the season, yet here we see it thrust out into the open,…
I promised it, and I’m delivering! After my procedure Tuesday, I have risen like a phoenix from the ashes (preferably one that has reformed and/or hasn’t killed so I can get the Winchester brothers to decide not to do me in…) and am working on my review. O.K., I’m being a little melodramatic…it really wasn’t…
Thoughts on “A Little Slice of Kevin” Season eight of “Supernatural” has been one of my favourites thus far. It’s up there among season four (my favourite season bar none) and season five, my second favourite season, though season eight is certainly edging up there. The writing this season has been strong and feels…
Maybe I should be disappointed that “A Little Slice of Kevin” showed no aftermath of the war of the Winchesters from the week before. I was expecting some tension, possibly a little hostility, definitely an undercurrent of anger. Maybe I should be disappointed that we didn’t get that. But, I simply can’t seem to give…
So the “little slice of Kevin” referenced in this week’s episode title turned out to be quite literal. See what happens when you don’t listen to Sam and Dean? The King of Hell abducts you and chops off your pinky. There’s a cautionary tale for you, kids. Let’s face it, Mrs. Tran and Kevin have…
WARNING!!!!! If you haven’t seen “A Little Slice of Kevin,” read no further! There will be discussions of the episode, and it will spoil you. So don’t do it!!! If you have watched, come on in, the water’s fine.
OMG last week’s episode! After some less impressive, somewhat disappointing efforts, like “Defending Your Life” and “Adventures in Babysitting” Adam Glass really hit it out of the park with this script! He got to a lot of things that maybe could have/should have been dealt with sooner. A solid effort that actually presented what was…
Ouch. That smarts. This episode made my stomach hurt. Then I realised I’d eaten a whole box of Anzac cookies out of nerves! So maybe the tummy ache was too much sugar. But the heartache was certainly Winchestery.
Wow. Talk about tension. You could cut it with a knife. Thank goodness for a little Garth-infused lightness or Sam and Dean may have spent the entire episode in moody silence. Not that I wouldn’t have watched…
