The second episode of the ninth season of Supernatural shows us exactly why this show has endured and thrived for this long. Originally, the series was billed in the horror genre—filled with monsters and ghosts and gore galore. The goal was to explore what goes bump in the night and to investigate what frightens us…
Funny thing about loose threads. Weave enough strong threads together and you will get a colorful, coherent tapestry that tells an epic story. Pull on weak threads individually, though, and they will unravel and fall to the ground, to be swept away as meaningless clutter… Season 8 was so volatile (controversial, disappointing episodes followed by…
No contest, our quote of the night came from (of course) Crowley: “Really putting the s-a-m into S and M.”
Spoiler alert: I loved this episode. I thought maybe I should just get that out there because I may squee a little (even more than usual).
I have to admit that this episode felt a little all over the place for me but I’m still really excited about the groundwork being laid out for the rest of the season. I think the beginning of any season can be tricky as the writers try to get their ducks in a row. And…
Robin’s Rambles Devil May Care Season 9, Episode 2 * Burnt Abbadon is resurrected. . .how? Very creepy and bloody, but there she is, whole and far too much makeup. * Brothers discuss everything! and I enjoy it. Ice that Limey bitch, LOL, Zero Dark 30 his ass–junk in my trunk. * Poor Kevin, a…
Hi! I’m back! Last week Alice was kind enough to fill in for me as I finished off my Texan adventure. But now, I’m back home and the season is back in full swing and it’s time for another spoiler-lite preview! Are you ready?
8.23 Sacrifice: It Was Always God’s Intention, The Ultimate Sacrifice Metatron’s Heaven: Exile angels for revenge. Closing Hell is death. Commentary and Meta Analysis My reaction to this episode was mixed. On the one hand, the performances, direction, and technical production aspects were absolutely stellar, and it filled my eyes and broke my…
Strip away the falling angels, the demons, and the Demon Trials and we are left with a story about seeking redemption. It is this aspect that makes Supernatural so utterly gripping and powerful each episode—and “Sacrifice” is no different. It’s all about forgiveness. It can be hard won or given freely. Sometimes its both….
Holy mother of Chuck!! Now that’s how you end a season. Leave the fans screaming their fool heads off for about four and a half months. Mr. Carver, you’re pure evil. sweetondean in her review actually stole my line, so I’ll just say that I hope Jeremy Carver loves fruit. Cause he’s about to get…
Oh Sam and Dean, how you can rip my heart out and in the same moment fill me with hope. I felt like I’d been waiting 4 seasons for that conversation. Through all the mistrust, the walking away, the fights, the angry words, I never once doubted that a powerful love was always there, but…
I know I haven’t been here for many months, and all I’m going to say about that is that I had two back surgeries to have a spinal deformity corrected, and I’m healing, with maddening sloth. I also wanted to say that I have been thoroughly enjoying season eight of “Supernatural” way more than six…
