The Natural Order. This concept has haunted Supernatural since the very beginning—even when it wasn’t explicitly mentioned. In its eleventh season, we see this become another focal point—and perhaps the tug of war between the Winchesters and the Darkness.
Tonight’s episode, written by Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner and directed by Jensen Ackles,begins with Rowena naming her new coven as “Mega Coven” with some witches. In a Macbeth nod we have a double, double, toil and trouble trio and they tell her that Crowley is not dead, as she claims. After they Mean Girl…
We’ve almost reached another episode of Supernatural. What do we know?
Symbolism can make a story’s rich tapestry all the more fulfilling and illuminating. It can add layers and depth revealing fresh insights. It can come in dialog, in music, and in visual cues. “Form and Void” makes use of all of these to tell its story—but most of all it uses Catholic symbolism to convey…
“Form and Void” was one of the most intense episodes in Supernatural’s history, at least for me. The three members of Team Free Will were each isolated and desperate, facing an extreme situation.

“In the beginning, there was only dark. You ask me, the light’s winning.” Okay, you got me. I snagged that line from “True Detective.” Still, isn’t is appropriate?

The list may vary from week to week , depending on what has transpired in that particular episode. Inspired by my “Brotherly Moments” series, welcome to “Memorable Moments”!
Adapt or die. The phrase has stood the test of time.
It feels so good to have Supernatural back. The instant “The Road So Far’ launched the season 11 premiere, the long hiatus was over. Watching Sam and Dean fight evil made everything right in the world, at least for an hour. The show and the fandom were reunited. People who hadn’t corresponded on social media…
The words “Season Eleven” just about says it all (insert your own “This one goes to 11″ joke here). In one way you’re just shocked that your favorite show is still on the air and that you have something to look forward to on your Wednesdays each week. On the flip side, the show isn’t…
The season eleven premiere, written by Jeremy Carver and directed by Robert Singer, opens with the traditional “The Road So Far” montage accompanied by Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Run Through the Jungle.” The episode focuses on two story threads that the season ten finale left unloosed: the release of the Darkness and Castiel’s attempted murder of…
