The Morning After I LOVED Supernatural’s 13.14 “Good Intentions”! It was about relationships, choices, regrets, loyalties and a whole bunch of other gooey stuff that I love, all set in an action-packed hour of fantasy adventure! This was an excellent example of the emotional resonance that gives Supernatural its heart, preventing it from becoming a…
What a long strange trip it has been. I have loved writing this story and imagining all the locations where our heroes would spend their time. Now the epilogue is upon us. If you missed the opening chapters of Christmas in the bunker with the Winchesters, you’ll want to go back to read Part…
And that folks, is how we do a mid-season finale Supernatural style! Drama, visual effects, emotional impact and some serious new-level, edge of the cliff moments at the end that left this viewer breathless and excited.
Four Days Later Following on the heels of a fabulous season 13 premiere episode, “The Rising Son” was a tense, suspenseful, thoughtful second chapter in the story of Jack, the misunderstood all-powerful-being child. Once again, Alexander Calvert’s nuanced portrayal of the most powerful creature on earth housed inside a naïve, well-intentioned 3 day, 17 hours…
Welcome back to the “Memorable Moments” series! For 12.22 “Who We Are”, I have once again put together a list of what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from this episode. The list varies from episode to episode depending on what has transpired. I hope you enjoy it and share what your…
Welcome back to the Memorable Moments series! For 12.21 “There’s Something About Mary”, I once again put together a list of what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from the episode. The list varies from episode to episode depending on what has transpired. I hope you enjoy it and share what your…
Rich, riveting, complex and so full of story details and character threads that it’s impossible to make anything of Supernatural’s “Stuck in the Middle (With You)” in just one viewing. Consequently, my review offers observations from two separate viewings: My original reactions when the episode first aired plus additional thoughts from my hiatus rewatch. These “retrospectives”…
Part 1 of “Defense of Supernatural Season 12” makes the case that the return of Sam and Dean’s loving relationship and the harmonious blending of the season’s arcs added up to one of the best years in the Supernatural series. In Part 2, Samandean addresses the other major characters and storylines, and how they contributed,…
The 250th episode! Who knew way back when the mission was searching for John and mourning Jess that this is where we’d end up all these years later? First Blood was a bit of a different flavor for Supernatural – but then a lot of season twelve has been about changing it up in that…
A Powerful, Deadly Delivery with Open Doors that Diminish Dangerous Distractions.
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” — George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones The name of the episode, “Who We Are”, made me choose…
Thank you, thank you, thank you Robert Berens! I just can’t say that enough. I was left so speechless and emotionally drained after “Who We Are” that when I tackled the idea of a review, I just wanted to repeat “Thank You” a thousand times. Sure it would have been redundant to say the least,…
