In the last writer’s profile, we looked at the back half of “Carver Edlund.” Let’s examine the front half of that duo. On the writing team for only three seasons, Jeremy Carver’s impact can still be felt now. He is the writer for beloved episodes such as “Mystery Spot,” “A Very Supernatural Christmas,” and “Changing…

Warning!!!!!! If you haven’t seen “Out With The Old” or the preview for next week’s episode, do not read any further! There will be spoilers!
In “Time After Time,” Sam and Dean are divided by 68 years of time when Dean is transported back to 1944 along with the god they were hunting: Chronos. And yet, the bond Sam and Dean share is showcased beautifully throughout. It’s captured in little moments. As we watch the brothers set up…
“The shot heard around the world”. Historians hear the phrase and inevitably point to the bullet which killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, and triggered the start of World War One. Or, they start singing Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1837 Concord Hymn, about the start of the American Revolution. “Here once the embattled farmers stood, And…
Truth be told, I avoided writing this review for several days. It’s been too tough. There’s so much pain, so much heartbreak, and it’s so hard to see a character I’ve gotten to know and love through these years meet such an end, whether it be final or not. I needed time to grieve, to…
Sera Gamble can write a brilliant episode and she did with this one. Unfortunately, Sera also kills the characters off and she did that here too. There was a movie in 1977 called A Bridge Too Far which was an adaptation of the novel by the same name; it was about a World War II…
“Season 7 Time For a Wedding” Season 7 Episode 8 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Las Vegas, NV – A hot blond waitress tells Dean she’s a grad student–“People say I say that just to get a bigger tip–see!–there’s that look!” “This is my I dig smart chicks look,” he assures her, “if they dressed…
“IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND” by Lightfoot & Winchester Over the years, Supernatural has shown it can stretch beyond its classic rock roots. We’ve seen Dean lip-synching to Air Supply, Bobby referencing Joni Mitchell and Sam choosing to put Jason Manns on his iPOD playlist. Still, I doubt Canadian folksinger Gordon Lightfoot will…
Twitter is a very strange beast. Normally when I do to a con, I always have my laptop handy and take a lot of notes. For this year’s “Salute To Supernatural†in Chicago, I did something different. I decided to tweet instead. Turns out I did A LOT. I have no idea why, especially since…
“We’re all we’ve got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don’t have each other, we don’t have anything.” (The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton) The Winchesters are often described as “outsiders”. They see themselves in that light, especially when they use it as a synonym for “freak”. They…
Commentary and Meta Analysis I’m suspecting I liked this episode more than a lot of people did. I wasn’t happy to see the brothers still so out of synch, with Sam bringing Dean cake instead of pie and deliberately sneaking out on him and Dean unable to trust Sam, lying to him, and killing a…
