Robin’s Rambles: Supernatural 10.01 “Black”
There are so many reviews with so many words! Why don’t we just boil it down to the basics? Here’s my view of “Black” is 500 words or less!

First Impressions I really, really liked Supernatural’s season 10 premiere episode, “Black”. I thought it was a fascinating exploration of character, worthy of Supernatural storytelling. From the “Then” montage to the demon, human and angel stories, I hung onto every word of the dialog and every nuance of the acting. Let me share with you…
Another season is upon us! There’s been a lot of hoopla over “Supernatural” starting a historic season ten lately, a feat that’s very rare in scripted shows. As a long time fan it’s easy to get lost in the wonder that the show has actually gotten this far. It’s certainly been a nice distraction for…
Let’s Speculate: Season Premiere 10×1 “Black” Written by Jeremy Carver Directed by Robert Singer Summary: The season nine finale ended with a demonized Dean, a desperate Sam, a dying Castiel, and a gleeful Crowley. The season ten premiere picks up with Sam torturing Dar. Sam seems desperate still. After Sam returns to the lonely bunker,…
Finally Season 10 of Supernatural starts tonight!
We have been tracking the threads of season 9 for the past 23 episodes. The finale’s dramatic conclusion resolved many of clues we followed, proving or disproving our theories and speculations.

I don’t usually write reviews. I choose instead to analyze plot intricacies as they are presented in each episode.

Each were taken up by their respective characters as a means to an end—to fill in the “I did what I had to do” piece of the over all season puzzle. These weapons shaped not only the…
I had to take some time to process the finale, because the first time through, despite the stellar acting, I was emotionally distanced and underwhelmed. I wasn’t surprised at the final five seconds, having thought Dean as demon had been telegraphed since Cain told his story and several times since. But I wasn’t comfortable with…
Summary “Carry On My Wayward Son” always makes me tear up, as does the recap. Dean’s imprisonment reminds me of Sam’s. Dean hacking up blood, not good. Metatron only responds to God. Lol. Story of love? Where’s HIS love? I do like his angel PA system. Going on a short trip
We’ve finally hit the season finale. It looks like it will be a corker!
Back in early season nine a fellow blogger who shall remain nameless confided to me that they saw a big issue with “Supernatural.” Carver and his writing team had no concrete plan -one hadn’t been spelled out yet. If it ended up being that way by midseason, the season would fall apart before the end. After…
