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.
8.14 Trial And Error: This Is My Perfect Ending God’s obstacle course: Three deadly trials prepare one To slam shut Hell’s gates. Commentary And Meta Analysis This episode clearly set the stage for the rest of the season, and perhaps longer. I particularly loved the honesty we got from both of the…
In “LARP and the Real Girl,” Dean taught Sam how to transform from reluctant hero into willing hero. He showed his little brother that there was more to it than being serious and focused on the hunt—that being a hero came with its own rewards. He taught Sam that there were opportunities to be had,…
When commenting on another friend’s blog prior to this week’s episode, I had an epiphany. The last few episodes in particular, “As Time Goes By” and “Everybody Hates Hitler” made me realise I missed something I wasn’t even aware I was missing, I missed Sam and Dean.
It’s been awhile since ‘Supernatural’ gave me a good cry. Not the sad kind where I cry because terrible things are happening to Sam and Dean, but the good kind where I cry because Sam and Dean care so much about each other. But it happened during “Trial and Error”. Twice. And boy did I…
Preview time! We’ve only got 10 episodes left in the season – can you believe it? But hey, now we have season 9! So when they kill us with a cliffhanger – at least we already know we’re coming back baby! Can I hear a woohoo and a rousing rendition of Carry On Wayward…
Sunday the 13th was Kim Manner’s birthday. Even though he passed away back in 2009, I can’t help but wonder when I watch a scene what Kim would have done with it. On Saturday the 12th, really with not much prior plannning, a few of us decided to watch a few episodes in honor of…
“Torn and Frayed” is an aptly named episode. The song, from the Rolling Stones album Exile on Mainstreet, and its lyrics touch on two of its storylines: Dean and Benny and Sam and Amelia. The lyric reads, “Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away.” In this particular episode, the…
“I can’t enjoy a world I need to save, Dean. I can enjoy it when this is all over with. Right now, there’s nothing more important than this.” Kevin pretty much summed up this entire episode in one sentence. It’s an important lesson, putting all else above your happiness, but that’s probably why in the…
And here we are, back in business! Hellatus over! Hooray! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have “Supernatural” back. Seriously. I spent the afternoon beaming! I had a day off work so I actually watched it live (don’t ask me how ‘k?) and I was so chirpy after it, which is…
