(This was originally posted on Blogcritics.org. The first page of the article can be found here. It has all the comments about the episode for those that are interested! I’m reposting here for historical purposes.) Wow…whoa…erm…geez…I guess that’s one approach to family therapy. From the word go, in the previews nonetheless, the message is this…
Just about any opinion of Supernatural these days is unpopular, so I’ll state up front I loved “Criss Angel Is A Douchebag.” Not just for the title either. This episode excelled in all areas; the writing, the directing, the acting. What puts it above others is though the superb guest acting. Who knew a magic themed episode could be…
(This article originally appeared on blogcritics.org in 2009. It has since been removed from their archive. I’m posting it here to preserve the history!) Once in a while, it’s beneficial to look backward before going forward. Sure “After School Special” isn’t embroiled with the presence of angels and Ruby leading Sam toward the darkside, but…
Kim Manners, Executive Producer and Director for Supernatural, as well as long time Producer and Director for The X-Files, died on Sunday evening after a battle with lung cancer. Below is the official statement and reaction from Eric Kripke. “Supernatural” executive producer & director Kim Manners passed away last night in Los Angeles, following…
For Sam fans, as promised, I’m taking on the common concerns many have voiced over the younger Winchester brother recently. I’ve been struggling with this analysis for a week now, unsure how to capture my views into coherent thought. Then I saw “Criss Angel Is A Douchebag” and all the pieces fell in place. Poor…
It’s time to share the Friday evening treats that Warner Brothers is always so kind in delivering. Three clips this time. Enjoy! Clip #1 (One you’ve seen before, but its a goodie!) Clip #2 Clip #3
Bonus! This recap covers the Sam scenes the CW forgot to show! You know, the ones that gave Sam some action and a plot. I even get to reveal the alternate ending! While “Family Remains” was a decent filler episode, there just wasn’t enough to it where deep analysis on my part is required. It’s just some good…
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time working with all sorts of multimedia tools in order to get this website close to my vision. I’m not there yet, but in my dabbling this weekend with video editing tools, I found a whole new appreciation for these fans that manage to put these videos together. …
(Most of the original article can be found here, minus page 6. The original comments are there, you’ll probably recognize some of the names! I’m reposting here to have a full archive of my Supernatural reviews.) When tragedy strikes, when all is lost and lives are shattered, all that’s left are the pieces and the…
Reviewing episodes after seeing the rest of the season creates an interesting challenge. I try to judge the episode on its merits alone as if I was watching for the first time, but I can’t avoid recalling post episode subplots that cleanly tie into the one up for review. “The Kids Are Alright” is one of those…
I can’t believe we’re already up to “Bad Day at Black Rock” in the repeats list. It seems like the finale was just yesterday. Oh, it was, because I watched it again for the hundredth time. Is it September yet? No? Okay, I guess I’ll kill time with this review. Be prepared, this is a…
Reviewing “The Magnificent Seven” is weird since I’m going from something unbelievable like the finale last week to this episode, easily one of the worst of the season. Last week I marveled at the awesomeness of the Kripster for his flawless script in “No Rest For The Wicked”, and now I get to ask what…
