Retrospective Thoughts on Supernatural 12.16: “Ladies Drink Free”

Retrospective Thoughts on Supernatural 12.16: “Ladies Drink Free”

One of the last Supernatural episodes of season 12 that was more formulaic and standard MOTW than big-picture focused, “Ladies Drink Free” was a decent easement back after the March mini-hiatus. Even in retrospect, the episode offered entertainment and drama without too much heady overflow in advance of what the rest of the season would…

Thoughts on Supernatural 12.17: The British Invasion

This was a mixed bag of emotions and events leaving “The British Invasion” to rank somewhere in the middle as an episode. While there were some interesting new pieces of information and scenes about characters including the BMoL, and some fine humour from Lucifer, a collection of, well, near-ridiculousness (unintended, presumably) were a bit too much in…

Threads: Supernatural 12.17 “The British Invasion”

The Morning After In the WFB writing team’s “Impressions of Supernatural Season 12” discussion a few weeks ago, I categorized the show this year as “mysterious and surprising”. True to form, episode 12.17 “British Invasion” was full of surprises. Some of the unexpected events and revelations were surprises to the characters, while others shocked the viewers.

What the hell?  What in the world was that?  How did anyone think that tone deaf hour would pass as…   (Deep breaths…High road, High road…)   Okay, let’s try again.  How do I put this mildly?  “The British Invasion” was bitterly disappointing.   I, like most fans, have various reactions after watching a “Supernatural”…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.14 – “The Raid” aka “In Defense Of…”

The roller coaster ride continues.  This week we’re up, and suddenly there’s a potential thrill to this ride.  The question is, will we hit bottom again next week like we did last week?  Personally, I don’t care.  I want to hang onto this little gem for a while and not let go.

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.09 – “First Blood” aka WWED (What Would Edlund Do?)

Such a brilliant premise, such well shot scenes, such a powerful ending…such a huge waste of a golden opportunity  Sigh, another season twelve dud.     When I see episodes like “First Blood” where a tense situation is afoot, I often ask, “WWED?”  What’s that you ask?  “What would Edlund do?” of course!  He would…
