Starts ups and closures. Old and New. Good and Bad. Hot and Cold.
Thoughts on Supernatural 12.08: “LOTUS”
The mid-season final of season 12 – where do we begin? Somehow this episode was equal parts fluff and actionable content, and while LOTUS wasn’t unsatisfying per se, whether it was mid-finale caliber is the question of week. Let’s consider the pieces.
Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.08 – “LOTUS” aka The Book of Enoch Meets “Jus in Bello”
Color me surprised! I went into “LOTUS” with some incredibly low, sub zero basement low, if not totally despondent expectations. I mean, how in the world were they going to turn around this fiasco known as season 12? The synopsis had me believing this, to quote Comic Book Guy, would be the worst…episode…ever. Given the…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.07 – “Rock Never Dies” aka Distraction Addicts Anonymous
Um… You know, on the first watch, “Rock Never Dies” wasn’t so bad. No, it wasn’t very exciting. I remember when it was half over I thought, “There’s still 30 minutes left of this?” Pacing was glacial to say the least. But honestly, three things made it a watchable episode for me. First, I’m…
Threads: Supernatural 12.07 “Rock Never Dies”
The Morning After I realized something rather interesting (at least I thought it was interesting) as I was considering my reaction to Supernatural’s seventh episode of season 12, “Rock Never Dies”. A pattern is emerging in the look and feel of some of the episodes. It’s as if there’s a “thread” in the approach to…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.03 – “The Foundry” aka Too Much Drama?
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? “The Foundry” was a well written, cohesive, dramatic tale that did everything in its power to effectively tell another chapter in the tragic yet heroic story of a family named Winchester. It hit all the right marks, had characters that were actually acting in character, and…
Far Away Eyes’ Deeper Look: Supernatural 12.03 “The Foundry”
Sometimes, to better understand or grow the Supernatural universe, we must examine secondary characters center stage. By doing so, we grow closer to the Winchester brothers and learn about another person within their world.
Thoughts on Supernatural 12.03: “The Foundry”
My heart is still recovering from this one. It certainly didn’t set out as a heart breaker or one of those uber-dramatic, memorable Winchester scrapbook moment episodes; but then the episodes that make your breath catch and your stomach clench this early in the game, rarely do.
Threads: Supernatural 12.03 “The Foundry”
The Morning After I’m still reeling from seeing Supernatural’s third episode this season, “The Foundry”. Saturated with mother’s instincts and parental grief, this story was emotionally exhausting. The hunt was about captive children who appealled to a mother to rescue them because she was the only one who sensed their need. Through most of the…
Let’s Speculate: Supernatural 12.03 “The Foundry”
This week episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Robert Singer and is titled “The Foundry.” The cold open begins with a hipster couple leaving a swanky restaurant.
