My last Threads recap included a prediction: “I sensed [“Captives” was] the turning point in many threads, many arcs, for the season. Maybe we are getting closer to redemption.” With its in-depth study of the Mark of Cain (MoC), “Blade Runners” might very well have been the front end of that run-away train that will…
You’re busy, I’m busy, let’s get started, shall we? (Word count starts now).
As winter comes to a slow close here in Minnesota, we start to see layers fall away little by little. As people shed coats, gloves, hats, and heavy boots, we see them revealed once more. Each layer exposes just a little bit more. It’s easier to see a smile or to know who’s been under…
Well, I am back on board the Carver train. Imagine my surprise that the writers who gave me back my ticket to ride were Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming, never my favourite writing duo. They got “Blade Runners” right, though. I finally think I can see the arc materializing, and it looks complex and interesting,…
I find myself in awe of how after all these years, this show continues to surprise me. I have been chomping at the bit for more information about the Mark of Cain and the First Blade since we learned about them weeks ago. So I was very excited about this episode. And it did not…
Bunker – Cain and Abel, first bros, reads Sam on the computer. Dean can’t reach Crowley on the phone- did Crowley drunk-dial Dean? Crowley is getting some? Human blood and sex? Food? He’s hungry. Crowley is crying over an old movie. . .WTF?
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Blade Runners,” then beware spoilers ahead! Summary: The episode begins with Sam researching the Cain and Abel story while Dean tries to contact Crowley. After a funny drunk dialing instance (where we find out that Dean is “Not Moose” in Crowley’s phone), we cut to a post-coital…
After our mini-hiatus, we’re back with Blade Runners. So we have finally reached the Crowley the blood addict episode.
How have you liked Supernatural’s season 9 so far? Has it been “Divine” as promised? We are just past the mid-point in the season, with 13 episodes behind us and 10 episodes ahead of us. Since there are no new shows to discuss during this three week hiatus, it is the perfect time to reflect…
“Stretching back to Cain and Abel. It’s in your blood, your father’s blood, your family’s blood.” —Michael, “The Song Remains the Same” Supernatural has explicitly laced Biblical lore through its mythology since season four—and season nine has shaped itself around that of Genesis. The Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man was a focal…
“First Born” is a powerhouse of an episode, showing off Robbie Thompson’s narrative skills and fuelled by compelling performances from both the regular and guest cast. Not only does the episode tell its own story beautifully, it weaves together strands from previous seasons to illustrate the overall arc for this one. Free will is the…
Before we get started, I have to say that I am worried sick about the staggering turn of events that took place in Supernatural’s “First Born”! I have been reading as many of your comments as possible, and it seems the entire Supernatural fandom got either chest, head or stomach pains watching Dean take the…
