It’s the penultimate episode of the season. Here’s what we know.

“King of the Damned” is a representation of everything good and right and wonderful about Supernatural. Oh, did I come on too strong? Well, I meant it. This episode did not quit from beginning to end and left me with my jaw on the floor. It was especially refreshing to have a Winchester-centric episode after the…
1. Loved this episode, and not just because Dean killed off Abaddon’s in a wonderful scene. The brothers seem to be rebuilding their relationship again. Give this one a nine. You?
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “King of the Damned,” then beware spoilers ahead!
I was ecstatic when Metatron held up a thread from Castiel’s coat and said “This is the curious incident…”! Threads! Metatron, the ultimate writer, acknowleded that a story is woven together (or in his case, unravelled) by layers of minutely detailed, intricate threads. Hurray! We must be on the right track if Robbie Thompson, the…
Several weeks ago, I had neck surgery that has been healing with maddening sloth. It’s been very hard to bring you my rambles because sitting at the computer is so hard and painful. I began writing up the episode, but found I just couldn’t do it. So I’m going to only present my questions for…
This episode gave me some serious whiplash of the brain. From the very beginning it was made clear to us that this episode was about what makes a story. Is it the writer, or the players? Metatron has always been a sucker for a good plot and recently he’s turned into quite the control freak….
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Meta Fiction,” then beware spoilers ahead! Episode Summary: So I’m going to just briefly summarize the episode and then provide some thoughts below – whether you agree or not, I had a rather confused reaction to the episode and want to share that reaction with all of…
We start our run to the finish this week with Meta Fiction. It looks like a big episode. Cas reunites with Sam and Dean. Metatron and Gadreel both make a return. Here’s what we know.
Everyone in “Captives” was held hostage at some point. This took physical form—restraints, holding cells, and locked doors. People were handcuffed or tied. Some were chained. Others were bound to the physical plane while being a spirit. In truth, however, everyone was held captive by the same thing in the end: grief. Each character seemed…
For the record, I really liked “Captives”. It was engaging. It had a lot of Sam, Dean and Castiel. It brought Kevin back to us. Mostly, though, it felt hopeful again. In my review of the season so far (Is Season 9 Divine?), I observed that many episodes in the first half of the season…
I am happy to say Robert Berens’ “Captives” has settled some of my doubts about Supernatural’s story line this season. The episode wasn’t perfect, but it was very good. Berens is an excellent addition to the writers’ room, though I do wish someone on that staff loved writing Sam the way Berens loves to write…
