“And Then There Were None” 6/16 –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A man from the Starlight Cannery picks up a barefoot gal named Eve (we know her as the Mother of All) at a gas station. She asks for a ride, and although he’s reluctant at the weird circumstances, he introduces himself as Rick…
After last week’s very funny episode, laced with mythology on heaven’s civil war, this week’s episode seems to slow things down a bit. No angels this time, and no mythology, but a very, very nasty monster compliments of the Mother of All and a group of hunters out to stop it. Quite a few guest…
So this week we actually get to move on to a more meaty part of the season – Cass’s civil war in heaven. And we start it off with a bang! Raphael, Balthazar and the series’ third super-meta episode that breaks the fourth wall with a wrecking ball! Dean and Sam get to act the…
It’s that time of the season. Novel writers have a term for it, the sagging middle. The big storylines are a few weeks away and no doubt the epic season finale is being planned. In the meantime, with a few episodes left to burn before then, it’s time for filler. Episodes that go for character based examinations…
6.13 Unforgiven: You Killed One Monster, You Made So Many More Sam’s forgotten past Spins a present spider trap; Memories surface. Episode Summary A year earlier in Bristol, Rhode Island, Sam coldly fired his gun at four separate targets as Samuel Campbell uncomfortably looked on, and they left the building burning behind them….
The brothers are back! The long winter hellatus is over! There’s an opening classic rock montage to prove it.
I remember when it was revealed that Season 6 was a go and that Sera Gamble was taking over and that she had a plan post-apocalypse for smaller, more closed end monster of the week episodes with a mytharc thread weaving in and out but a concentration on the more intimate relationship of the brothers….
Open Couch, Appointment in Samarra Or How do you define human dignity? A quite literally ensouled episode. Looks like the resident therapist here is going to have some serious work with Sam (and Dean won’t be far behind, I reckon). Thank God there’s a hiatus and we can take our time to work out some…
This week Supernatural ends the first half of the season with “Appointment in Samarra,” an episode featuring the return of two familiar faces, Death, one of the four horsemen from the myth arc of last season, and Tessa the reaper from “In My Time of Dying’ (2.01) and “Death Takes a Holiday” (4.15). (Just a…
It’s retro recap time! In continuation with the three part series I started with “Salvation” before season six started, here is part two, “Devil’s Trap.” Re-live the magic when the brothers cared for each other!
There is a beautiful saying by C.S.Lewis: ‘You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.’ It’s one of my favourite quotes. Ever since the Sam-doesn’t-have-a-soul theory came up, I kept hearing these words in my head. I couldn’t just let it go, because to my mind the whole concept of…
If last week was noir light, they made up for it in spades this week. There were a ton of awesome images in this episode. I mean, I could probably write a whole review on the alpha vamp montage alone. This episode was directed by Rod Hardy, who has an extensive TV directing resume, including…
