The Road So Far: God is back, Jack is dead, “Welcome to the end,” Amara tells Chuck that he needs her, Rowena does her spell and falls into the gulf in the earth, Michael/Adam tells them they need a leviathan blossom in Purgatory and opens a rift Now: A plastic pink elephant with an uplifted…
The Boys Are Back in Town (Probably Time To Flee) EPISODE NINE: Playing both sides of the scale, episode nine leads into the middle of the season with a loud shock, or something quiet but equally captivating. Sometimes clear, but often confusing, the elements introduced here usually click into place by the end of the…
Four Days Later I can’t believe that Supernatural season 13 just keeps getting better! “Advanced Thanatology” was another superb episode, extending the run to five in a row! Steve Yockey may have produced the best episode yet this year – quite an accomplishment considering my high opinion of the prior episodes. Billie returned as Death,…
This was an episode of “Supernatural” where all the elements came together and delivered. Interesting, if classic, plot-of-the-week, brothers on the road, emotion and angst and a major plot advancement/reveal for the grand scheme of the “Supernatural” world. Yes, this is the type of episode where the simple all clicks together and works.
Tonight’s episode is all about Death! Fun times. Even Death and Death’s death is the “Then” segment. Since we can’t keep Death waiting, let’s get right to the recap. Colorado. Two teenagers approach a house in the woods with a camcorder. There’s a sign for an abandoned mental health facility. It looks like…
Part 1 of “Defense of Supernatural Season 12” makes the case that the return of Sam and Dean’s loving relationship and the harmonious blending of the season’s arcs added up to one of the best years in the Supernatural series. In Part 2, Samandean addresses the other major characters and storylines, and how they contributed,…
The 250th episode! Who knew way back when the mission was searching for John and mourning Jess that this is where we’d end up all these years later? First Blood was a bit of a different flavor for Supernatural – but then a lot of season twelve has been about changing it up in that…
Season 11 was a year loaded with faces old and new; big villains, friends who became enemies, enemies who became friends and complicated journeys– some ending and some beginning. So what worked, what didn’t and what fell somewhere in between?
Everyone’s on the Hunt. Torture, Twists and Traps intensified a tacitly rendered raison d’être.
“I won’t let you sacrifice yourselves. You mean too much to me…to everything.” Supernatural came back last night with a bang, and a few bloody deaths. “First Blood,” episode nine of season 12, was everything I’d hoped for. I’m a die-hard fan of Supernatural, so I tend to go a little easy on episodes that…
Such a brilliant premise, such well shot scenes, such a powerful ending…such a huge waste of a golden opportunity Sigh, another season twelve dud. When I see episodes like “First Blood” where a tense situation is afoot, I often ask, “WWED?” What’s that you ask? “What would Edlund do?” of course! He would…
The Morning After Well that was exciting… and tense… and surprising! On the surface, “First Blood” was an action drama that tested the wills and skills of two opposing camps of warriors. Of course we all knew that somehow Sam and Dean would get out of the secret ops prison. The tension and art of…
