I know the online saying. Those of us of rational mind say it all the time. “Don’t feed the trolls.†But sorry, sometimes, like with “Jensen vs Jared: I’m Going There†and “Sam Fans vs. Dean Fans, The Saga Continues†I find the need to bring a little sanity into an insane situation. Lately, some fans have gone just…
Significant Mothers of Supernatural, Part One: One-Hit Wonders We survived again! Officially less than one week to go in this long, long hiatus. My goal during Hellatus was to contribute more than the one measly piece I did, but that clearly didn’t happen. The one thing everyone knows about me (and my family) is…
Hey, I remember you from The X-Files, Mr. Character Actor. You’re right, it’s all gonna be okay; for us viewers with such a stunning introduction, not your mandible. I spy with my mind’s eye blood and shattered bone and the start of one of my all-time favorite episodes, the hilarious and mythologically important Simon Said….
After a heavy episode like “Home” something lighter but entertaining is required. “Asylum” fits the bill perfectly. I don’t know about you, but to me insane asylums are creepy as hell. Lots of bad karma. After getting my professional start at a mental health facility, I can attest that the therapists are often wackier than the patients…
They’re here! They’re here! It’s been sooooo long, but new episode is around the corner. How do I know? (other than the countdown clock telling me). Preview clips! Here are three preview clips for “Sam Interrupted.” The first one has been out since this afternoon via The CW, the second two were just released by…
The very first mention of Castiel comes in season 3, when he is one of the beings mentioned at the start of the invocation Sam reads over the grave of the sea captain in Red Sky At Morning. (I haven’t found a transcript of the invocation, but it appears to start by calling on “Aziel, Castiel, Lemistiel…”.) …
Love, love, love, love! this episode. “Home” is one of my personal favorites; my blue funk, down in the dumps, reaching for pint of Haagen-Dazs and settling in for a long night of comfort episodes. It’s the episode that put season one back on course in a major way. It’s the game changer that helped define the rest…
Before I post tonight’s smile inducing entry from Karen, who shares her hiatus blues to rhyme in her own ingenius way (not to mention giving me a huge “Aw shucks” reaction), I wanted to make an official announcement. Welcome Karen officially to The Winchester Family Business writing team! Her poems have been so clever, heartwarming, touching, amusing, and…
“Bugs” is quite a monumental episode you know. Even to this day, when we switch off a weak effort like “Fallen Idols” or “Family Remains,” our instant reaction is “Ah well, it wasn’t Bugs.” I’ve said it before and I say it again. Welcome to not only the worst episode of the entire series, but I think they…
Supernatural is one of the most amazing TV shows to be developed in a long time, and Dean Winchester is one of its amazing characters. He is a three dimensional, dynamic, realistic person brought to life by the incredible team of writers on the series and the extraordinary acting of Jensen Ackles. Jensen’s intense acting range and…
Ugh. I remember after watching “Red Sky At Morning” in repeats I did a review claiming it was one of the worst episodes ever. There were only four others worse. Guess what made that exclusive list? Yep, “Hookman.” Granted number one on that list is tomorrow’s episode, but I’m getting ahead of myself. This episode just stinks. Who knew the hookman…
Oh, this one’s a doozy. You’ve got to admit, when trying to pick memorable episodes, “Skin” comes to mind. Upon watching this again, I forgot how much I liked it. It’s not one I watch often. It’s just too gross. However, there are some big bonuses. First, this is one of the best music selections for an episode. Forget how cool “In-Gadda-Da-Vida”…
