SPOILER ALERT: I loved this episode. Supernatural has really been bringing it the past few weeks and I am loving every second. We are one episode away from a long hiatus and there is still so much that needs to be resolved! As is typical at about this time every season, I feel like my…
(Photos by Alice Jester) With Jensen coming to New Jersey this year, I was fortunate enough to attend meet and greets for both him and Jared. I decided to write about them in one article, because with Creation Entertainment’s new rules, both of these accounts will be shorter than detailed reports would have been. So,…
Warning!!! If you haven’t seen “Clip Show,” read no further. There will be extensive talk about the episode, so you will be spoiled if you read this without watching the episode first. If you’ve seen it, come on in and talk about it with me!
Metafiction. This seems to be Supernatural’s wheelhouse, especially in its own mythology episodes, and “The Great Escapist” is no different. The show often refers to its own skeleton, its existence as story, and that we are indeed watching a show—all the while keeping us engaged and moved by the story transpiring in front of us….
Well, it’s the penultimate episode…YES SAM (or Mr Edlund) PENULTIMATE! Last week, Ben pretty much got our ducks in a row and now we stand on the precipice of WHO KNOWS WHAT! I admit, I’m frighten-excited-sad-apprehensive-optimistic-FULL OF DREAD-really really excited. Ok let’s preview this sucker.
The Supernatural Roundtable at TV Fanatic is up! Find out what myself, Carissa Pavlica, and Sean McKenna thought about farty donkeys, Metatron, Castiel ingesting an angel tablet, and what in the world curing a demon means. http://www.tvfanatic.com/2013/05/supernatural-round-table-the-great-escapist/ Also, for another opinion on the episode itself, here’s Sean McKenna’s review of “The Great Escapist.” He’s very…
WINCHESTERMEMORIES: Misty, Water-coloured or Painted by Someone Else? “Remember that time…?” “I can’t recall the specifics…” It’s the experiences we live through that shape the people we become. But the way we remember those events also plays a huge role in the way we define ourselves, and the identity we create. One…
I’ve re-watched “The Great Escapist” about ten times in between Wednesday night and the writing of this review. I can’t get enough of it. In terms of writing, acting, directing, and production, this episode offers so much! This is plain and simple, the “Supernatural” I used to remember. The “Supernatural” that I could dig into…
“When you create stories, you become gods of tiny, intricate dimensions unto themselves.” I love this line to pieces and I kind of imagined Ben Edlund laughing maniacally after he wrote it, with lightning flashing across his face, accompanied by the sound of thunder! Then, he’d giggle. “The Great Escapist” was peppered with that…
The Great Escapist was, as the title implies, all about escapes, from Kevin’s careful manipulation of Crowley to Metatron’s escape from his duties to Castiel’s own multitude escape plots. Yet despite want or effort, none of these players could quite break free from the reality of destiny’s tight grip- yeah, she’s a fickle mistress, ain’t…
There was so much to love about this episode. I’m not even sure where to start. As the season winds down (only two more episodes!) it looks like everything is coming together into the perfect storm of awesome. Not only did we get answers about what happened to Kevin but we also got to see…
WARNING!!! If you haven’t seen “The Great Escapist” yet, read no further! There will be lots of spoilery discussion about what happened in this episode. So do yourself a favor and watch it before you head over here and talk about the episode.
