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…
Since I watched this episode two days ago Bobby’s life has been playing on repeat in the back of my mind. And all I can hear is the ticking of the reaper’s watch as the episode cut to black. I may very well be driven mad by the time the winter hellatus is over. What…
“Death’s Door” Season 7, Episode 10 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel We get a view of the inside of Bobby’s head wound from the inside out, bullet and all. While Sam frantically checks Bobby’s vitals in the back seat, Dean drives as fast as he can. “Is he dead?” demands Dean. “JUST DRIVE, DEAN!” shouts…
No doubt about it, episode ten has historically packed one heck of an emotional punch and this one is not breaking that pattern. Death’s Door was nothing short of perfect. I’ve broken the two coinciding streams of this episode apart and examined them as whole pieces, rather than intercut with one another, so bear with…
Warning!!!!!!!!! If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode of “Supernatural,” stop reading now! There will be spoilers and discussion and all sorts of venting, so do yourself a favor and wait till after the episode to continue. You have been warned!
Episode nine, aka the setup episode before the possible maddening, gut-wrenching, “why-oh-why-are-you-torturing-us-silly” mid-season finale. Fine, once in a while we get a midseason finale that leaves us wondering how many wet ones they were tipping, like “Heaven and Hell,” but most leave you wrecked. However, we’re here to focus on the episode before that. Last…
I heard this song on the radio. And it grabbed me, installing pictures of our heroes in my mind. I couldn’t help it – I had to sit down and put this together. I hope you enjoy another illustrated song…
IT’S A JERSEY DEVIL OF A TIME In what seems to be a shout out to a season 1 episode “Wendigo”, this episode deals with a version of the Jersey Devil, a not so mythical creature, which is killing hikers and campers in a New Jersey state park. The episode features Dean and Sam teaming…
“Time for a Wedding,” takes the viewer into a proverbial fun house effect. It begins with Dean sitting in a bar, talking to the waitress about the “annual sacred pilgrimage” to Vegas. A text message pulls him away, telling him to put on a suit and meet his brother at a chapel. Upon arrival, the…
When I first saw “Season 7, Time For A Wedding!” I actually liked it. Not love, and it certainly wasn’t the funniest episode I’d seen, but after all the controversy over recent episodes, I was in the mood for something light. It delivered. As you all know, I’ve been a little sour on…
“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…
I’m mixing it up this week. After going through all the goodness of “Slash Fiction,” I realized that a mere review could not do it justice. Not by a long shot. So I’ve decided to dust off my mad recapping skills and pour through this one bit by bit. There’s so much to comment on!…
