Episode nine, aka the setup episode before the possible maddening, gut-wrenching, “why-oh-why-are-you-torturing-us-silly” mid-season finale. Fine, once in a while we get a midseason finale that leaves us wondering how many wet ones they were tipping, like “Heaven and Hell,” but most leave you wrecked. However, we’re here to focus on the episode before that. Last…

For a new writer to the show, Robbie Thompson seemed like an old pro. His episode, “Slash Fiction” reads as a love letter. It touches on so many things. Its self reflexive nature makes fans notice all the shout outs to previous episodes, while giving us more on the big bad of the season. If…
Slash Fiction Season 7 Episode 6 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Now ,“ Sam and Dean enter a bank, looking very unsure of themselves. “Are you sure about this?” asks Sam. “Trust me,” says Dean.

“I’m a Grade A Freak. But I’m managing it.” “The Girl Next Door” revives several issues that have been lingering since the Pilot itself.
