The Morning After I’m still reeling from seeing Supernatural’s third episode this season, “The Foundry”. Saturated with mother’s instincts and parental grief, this story was emotionally exhausting. The hunt was about captive children who appealled to a mother to rescue them because she was the only one who sensed their need. Through most of the…
This week episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Robert Singer and is titled “The Foundry.” The cold open begins with a hipster couple leaving a swanky restaurant. They are talking when they stop in front of an abandoned house and hear a baby crying. The woman goes into the house while her…
“If you ever wanna talk. I know what it’s like to come back and not feel like you really fit,” Sam tells his mother at the end of “Mamma Mia.” In many ways, the statement blankets the entire episode.
A person’s ultimate opinion of an episode depends entirely on what they wanted to get out of it. I wouldn’t term that expectations per se. As much as that person might hope, need or desire to see something, that doesn’t mean necessarily that they expected to see it. For example, I had three things I…
In this second episode of the season titled “Mamma Mia,” the story begins with a surprising sex scene between Sam and his torturer, the British Toni.
The title “Keep Calm and Carry On” perfectly sums up the season 12 Supernatural premiere. The phrase, a British saying that originated in World War II, points to so much of what happens. The obvious example can be found in the introduction of our newest villains—the British Men of Letters in Lady Toni—but that is…
Months of waiting in eager, speculative anticipation and I, for one, was not disappointed. As the rock-accompanied recap of the last 23 episodes of the Winchester saga played out, we were left on that dark night in the woods with a stunned Dean and a confused Mary and it’s like no time has passed since…
Outstanding. Captivating. Riveting. Emotional. Smart. Well written and brilliantly portrayed. Welcome back Supernatural! It’s good to be home again! THAT’s the show we know and love! “Keep Calm and Carry On” is a wonderful beginning to Supernatural’s remarkable 12th season. It seamlessly, skillfully weaves together the reality of the present day, i.e. “Now”, with the…
[Editor’s Note: The explanations about season 11 and the comments and spoilers about season 12 that came out of Supernatural’s San Diego Comic-Con panels and press room interviews left us with a lot to think about! To pass the hiatus until we all learn what season 12 has in store for us, LK came up…
“I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” — Abraham Lincoln Alpha and Omega, Amara: “I was the beginning and I will be the end. I will be all that there is.“ I was very exited about the finale and scared how it usually goes with…
Alpha & Omega – as finales go, what can we say? It was certainly a unique finale in it’s own right – free of dramatic explosions, supernatural cliffhangers (by and large) and even had a (mostly) happy conclusion to the season-long conflict. Of course that’s not to say we weren’t left with more questions and…
Like many of you, I typically have a very emotional reaction to Supernatural’s season finales. I’m left reeling from the dramatic cliff-hanger drama that is designed to break fans’ hearts, hurting for Sam, Dean, Castiel, or all three at once. Add to that the morning-after let down, when the excitement is over, the adrenaline is…
