With fall in the air, the 11th Season premiere of Supernatural is close at hand. No matter what you may have thought of season 10, the finale set up many new storylines for this coming year. Dean no longer has the Mark of Cain, he presumably killed Death (though we know it’s never that easy),…
Back when “The Prisoner” aired for the first time in May, I was pretty livid. I couldn’t believe that an hour of my time, right in the crucial part of the season, was wasted by such garbage. After writing a scathing review, consensus among the WFB editorial team was that it wouldn’t be published. After…

The second half the season seven hit list, revisited with the wisdom of 3 years of hindsight, as promised!
It’s always disappointing to read casual, dismissive references to Supernatural as simply a fantasy genre show featuring two hunky brothers.

Transport trucks. Hell hounds. Falling angels. Leviathan. As far as finales go, Supernatural has done them every way imaginable and usually manages to leave the audience hanging on the edge. “Brother’s Keeper” certainly had some edge, but as finales go – was it on par with what we’re used to overall?
For every action there must be an equal reaction.
Sam, Dean, what did you do? Did you go and break the world again? I gotta say, if “Brother’s Keeper” did one thing (and trust me, it did many things), it gave us enough possibilities to keep us all happily speculating and theorizing for the next five months (yes, October is that far away). Far…
Summary: This episode was written by Jeremy Carver and directed by Phil Sgriccia. The episode follows Sam’s quest to save Dean and Castiel, Crowley, and Rowena’s journey in casting the spell that will cure the Mark of Cain.
Now comes the season finale! Then we wait through Hellatus! Here’s what we know.
The words prison and prisoner invoke strong imagery.
