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…
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!…
For a new writer to the show, Robbie Thompson seemed like an old pro. His episode, “Slash Fiction” reads as a love letter. It touches on so many things. Its self reflexive nature makes fans notice all the shout outs to previous episodes, while giving us more on the big bad of the season. If…
Slash Fiction Season 7 Episode 6 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Now ,“ Sam and Dean enter a bank, looking very unsure of themselves. “Are you sure about this?” asks Sam. “Trust me,” says Dean. They separate, Dean heading over to an attractive brunette teller. “Good morning, Megan,” he says, reading her name tag, “that’s…
High hopes were had for this episode and I have to say that it did not disappoint. Slash Fiction was fast paced, funny, action-fill and informative all at the same time. This was a solid episode and it felt like the plot was substantially advanced by the end. The players are on the board, we…
Now that’s more like it! After three weeks of mediocre, and often times quite troubling episodes, this is exactly what we needed. If you haven’t seen “Slash Fiction” here’s your warning now. I am about to discuss things that happened in the episode and all the glorious possibilities it sets up.
“We’re not Catholic.” “Defending Your Life,” may have featured an Egyptian God, but the guilt contained within is clearly of the Catholic variety. Dean is put on trial here, by Osiris, who will then weigh his guilt. Dean carries an awful lot of it around indeed, but most of it is misplaced and…
“I’m a Grade A Freak. But I’m managing it.” “The Girl Next Door” revives several issues that have been lingering since the Pilot itself. While the boys recover from the Leviathan attack, Sam investigates murders linked to a case he solved as a teenager. The monster this time is a kitsune, and they feed…
“The Girl Next Door” Season 7/Episode 3 Robin’s Rambles Dean awakens at Sioux Falls Hospital in agony, staring into three ER lights above him. His first question, of course, is where Sam is. The doctor tells him that Sam bashed his head hard and went upstairs for an MRI. As for Dean, the doctor…
This episode was really a breath pause – a moment to recover from the chaos and drama of last week ‘s episode and a chance to get back to the roots of the show. I appreciate a calmer episode every now and again, especially because despite the respite from the Leviathan plot, it was still…
For the second week in a row we finished with an open-ended episode, meaning this week we pick up the Winchester’s plight right where we left off. Bobby and Cass are MIA (and no I don’t think Cass is dead) and the monsters, who have been trapped in Purgatory since the beginning of time, have…
Anytime Ben Edlund’s name appears as writer for an episode, I know that I will be either laughing till tears run down my face or crying as my heart breaks. “Hello, Cruel World,” is most certainly the latter. Pair an Edlund script with the directorial skill of Guy Norman Bee, and Supernatural hits the jack…
