Supernatural Reviews In 500 Words or Less: 9.13 – “The Purge”

No doubt about it, we tend to be a bit verbose here at The Winchester Family Business.  We all love to pick apart every little detail and try to find hidden messages/metaphors/parallels/references, and it usually results in some very lengthy pieces that makes heads spin.  While there are fans that thrive on that kind of…

Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.15- “#Thinman”

Flow Like Water – a Reflection on Supernatural’s “Captives”

Usually I would write a “Threads” recap of this week’s episode, “#Thinman”. To be honest, though, I didn’t see many hidden meanings or clues that need to be examined. After watching it, I felt like I was the victim of blunt force trauma from the blatantly obvious parallels made between the Ghostfacers’ team and Sam…

TV Fanatic Supernatural Roundtable 9.15 – “#THINMAN”

Ghost…Ghostfacers!  Yes, the return of Harry and Ed in #THINMAN prompted quite a few opinions on our part, including the artful dodge we all had to do of the falling anvils!  Still, we overall enjoyed the episode.  Two out of the three panelists, who are myself, Carissa Pavlica and Sean McKenna, are Ghostfacer fans.  So,…

Gerry’s Supernatural Review: “Thinman” – The Play’s the Thing

Gerry’s Supernatural Review: “Thinman” – The Play’s the Thing

This review is a little late because I was swamped at work, but the extra time to think over the episode turned out to be helpful in arriving at my final thoughts. Watching the episode the first time, I was put off by the on-the-nose writing of the comparisons between the Ghostfacers and the Winchesters,…
