“When you create stories, you become gods of tiny, intricate dimensions unto themselves.” I love this line to pieces and I kind of imagined Ben Edlund laughing maniacally after he wrote it, with lightning flashing across his face, accompanied by the sound of thunder! Then, he’d giggle. “The Great Escapist” was peppered with that…
The Great Escapist was, as the title implies, all about escapes, from Kevin’s careful manipulation of Crowley to Metatron’s escape from his duties to Castiel’s own multitude escape plots. Yet despite want or effort, none of these players could quite break free from the reality of destiny’s tight grip- yeah, she’s a fickle mistress, ain’t…
There was so much to love about this episode. I’m not even sure where to start. As the season winds down (only two more episodes!) it looks like everything is coming together into the perfect storm of awesome. Not only did we get answers about what happened to Kevin but we also got to see…

One thing Supernatural does best is tug on multiple threads in its story, weaving them together so that each one is essential to the whole. The layers that this provides allows for deep insight into the story and its characters. Each layer adds another texture, another emotion, another clue as to what is being told….
Episodes like “Taxi Driver” are a struggle for me. I had the same problem with last season’s “The Born-Again Identity.” The possibilities are oh so amazing, yet the execution just ends up falling short. It becomes an internal struggle at review time between my inner TV critic and my inner fan girl. Those two bitches…
I liked “Taxi Driver”, a lot. Let me tell you why. I’m not much of a stickler for the nitty gritty. I don’t watch an episode and go, wait, that doesn’t gel with what was represented by canon in episode 5.ticketyboo. I don’t really care, it’s cool if you do, it’s just I don’t. It’s…
Where to even begin with this episode? On my first viewing I was really torn about where I stood. The highs were high, the lows were low – how to discuss? Now that I’ve considered, analyzed, re-analyzed and over-analyzed and after a third viewing I feel much more level about this episode. So, let’s just…
There were so many good things about this episode, I’m not sure where to start! The pacing was just right, we got to see a few old friends (Bobby and Benny!!), we got to see a little more of that beautiful Purgatory camera filter (I just love it.), we got a little Crowley and a…
Warning! If you haven’t seen “Taxi Driver,” then read no further! There will be heavy discussion about the episode, aka lots of spoilers. Do yourself a favor and watch the episode before you venture inside and theorize with me.
