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…
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…
I’ve re-watched “The Great Escapist” about ten times in between Wednesday night and the writing of this review. I can’t get enough of it. In terms of writing, acting, directing, and production, this episode offers so much! This is plain and simple, the “Supernatural” I used to remember. The “Supernatural” that I could dig into…
“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…
WARNING!!! If you haven’t seen “The Great Escapist” yet, read no further! There will be lots of spoilery discussion about what happened in this episode. So do yourself a favor and watch it before you head over here and talk about the episode.
8.19 Taxi Driver: No Reason To Think I Won’t See You Again Somewhere Down The Road Reaper shows the way. Sam frees Bobby’s Hell-trapped soul; Benny says goodbye.
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…
