Disease has consumed the headlines in the last month—from the Ebola outbreak to the Enterovirus 68—and as a result we’ve seen fear and concern ratchet up for the nation’s safety, security, and health. But our fear dates much father back. Our fear of disease is perhaps one of our oldest—along with a fear of the…
Finally! Unanimous love for an episode! All of the WFB writers look for different things in episodes. Some look for canon precision, some for meta meanings, some for brotherly love, and some for great storytelling, yet by all yardsticks, this episode was superb. Robert Berens’ “Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann” was a triumph.
Nightsky is out of town today, so I get to compile today’s review of the repeat “Captives.” Considering I was in a plane last night coming home from San Diego when the episode aired, I’ll leave the comments to the experts that actually watched the episode. And did I get comments! First though, a personal…
Supernatural’s episode “The Purge” is packed full of messages. There is subtext about the brothers, about family, about monsters and humanity, and even about weight loss and self-image. All of our original reviews detected many of these messages on the first watch. They are worth revisiting, however, because even though the parallels to the brothers’…
Sometimes it is a treat to watch a Supernatural episode and just enjoy the story. My rewatch of “Bad Boys” was an example of this kind of relaxed viewing. Sure, I was live tweeting with multiple people (on two accounts) so it wasn’t entirely relaxed, but my mind didn’t want to think of deep meanings…
Welcome to the second installment in our new series, The Winchester Family Business Deja Vu Revie! This all began when we were live tweeting the rerun of Supernatural’s 9.01 “I Think I’m Going to Like it Here”. As we watched the story unfold, we collectively realized that we were understanding so much more about characters’…
As always, thanks to http://homeofthenutty.com/ for their screencaps of the episode)
Huh. That was pretty damn funny. You know how I said in my preview I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised? I was pleasantly surprised! Let’s start with this… This episode made one of my dogs lose his (already tiny) mind!
In honor of today’s US release of “Supernatural†Season Eight on DVD, I’m presenting my annual review of the season gone past. Season Eight gave us so much more to work with and analyze, and I couldn’t be happier. Hopefully, I’m not alone.
I was on the Monday location tour with MovieGod Russ Hamilton, the location manager for Supernatural.
“Saving people, hunting things: the family business.” That’s been the tagline of Supernatural from the very beginning, memorably given voice by Dean way back in the second episode, Wendigo, and repeated multiple times every season since. But it’s never been a static concept; every part of that phrase has undergone evolution as the seasons progressed….
From Alice – I’m constantly surprised how popular “Supernatural” is as a topic in the academic world. Our college professor friends at Fangasm use “Supernatural” a lot for their fandom studies, and even our own staff member Bookdal has written papers on this show and others in terms of the characters and how they stand…
