So far, season nine has been about the human condition. Supernatural has explored it in various and powerful methods throughout its history, but in this episode it is a vibrant thread. Normally, we explore this through Sam and Dean themselves—but the show takes advantage of the supernatural characters available to them—here a former angel and…
Welcome Robert Berens. You did a very nice job. I guess I wasn’t looking forward to this episode quite as much as some people. I’m impatient (in a good way) for what’s going on between Sam and Dean and the nasty road that’s taking us down and though I’m interested to see how Castiel…
The third episode takes the threads of the young season and blends them into a complex and emotional story. On one hand, we have Castiel coping with being rendered human, and on the other we have the brothers dealing with the fall out from the fallen angels while trying to find their former angel friend….
Supernatural Season 9 wisely begins where Season 8 ends: both in timeline and in emotional impact. It is immediately after “Sacrifice,” and all the speculation and questions can finally be answered in “I Think I’m Going to Like It Here.” We have two story lines making their trajectory across the screen, briefly meeting before becoming…
Missed part one of the recap? It can be found here. Okay, get ready, for this is the absolute craziest, bat-shit, most absurd, ballsiest, funniest, shattering the fourth wall into tiny little dimensions scene that has EVER aired on network television. Hell, it beats just about anything ever shot. This is Mr. Edlund’s legacy right…
Oh boy, I’ve been dying to do a full, detailed recap of this episode for a long time. Actually, I started this last year and found it half finished in my WIP folder. This episode is too memorable to let it linger in WIP. This isn’t just another memorable Ben Edlund episode, no siree. …
This is a repost of something we ran this time last year. Since it was Misha Collins’ birthday earlier this week (Happy Belated 39th Birthday Misha!) and he is again entertaining folks with his quirkiness and offbeat humor at Vancon (Bardicvoice, Far Away Eyes’ and Tigershire are having a great time BTW), I figured this…
Misha was our last interview of the day in the Supernatural press room at Comic Con (you might notice all the people packing up behind him). He was actually our table’s “Sophie’s Choice” between him and Jeremy Carver. Naturally, as is usually true with Misha, some answers are serious, and some aren’t. My questions…
The next Supernatural word search features someone we adore very much. It’ll all about Misha Collins and our favourite angel, Castiel. Both have said and done some interesting things.
8.23 Sacrifice: It Was Always God’s Intention, The Ultimate Sacrifice Metatron’s Heaven: Exile angels for revenge. Closing Hell is death. Commentary and Meta Analysis My reaction to this episode was mixed. On the one hand, the performances, direction, and technical production aspects were absolutely stellar, and it filled my eyes and broke my…
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….
8.22 Clip Show: When They’re All Gone, What Will You Have Left? How can you fight on When why you fight is destroyed? Crowley’s leverage … Commentary and Meta Analysis This episode really turned up the pressure on the Winchesters, with Crowley finding the precise psychological lever to pull to hurt the…
