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…

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”…

Let’s Speculate: Supernatural 12.17 “The British Invasion”

This week’s episode, “The British Invasion,” written by Ross-Leming and Buckner begins with a cold open set in London at the Kendricks Academy where two young boys are meeting with a schoolmaster.

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 12.12 – “Stuck in the Middle (With You)” aka Tarantino Meets SPN Verse

I’m going to tell you why I loved this episode so much.  No doubt, “Stuck in the Middle (With You)” was a full blown homage to filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and that makes me very happy.  I love this man’s films and got every shout out they were going for.  For the most part, the effort…

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…

“Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I’m most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.” — Anne Hathaway The first word that came into my mind when the episode was over was “hurt”. That even though Mary needed to do…

Alice’s Review: Supernatural 12.08 – “LOTUS” aka The Book of Enoch Meets “Jus in Bello”

Color me surprised!  I went into “LOTUS” with some incredibly low, sub zero basement low, if not totally despondent expectations.  I mean, how in the world were they going to turn around this fiasco known as season 12? The synopsis had me believing this, to quote Comic Book Guy, would be the worst…episode…ever.  Given the…
