I loved all the aspects of Meta Fiction, including the meta ones. Robbie Thompson’s script was a profound brain teaser; Jensen Ackles’ depiction of Dean’s struggle with the effects of the Mark of Cain was masterfully subtle; Jared Padalecki brought Sam’s worry over his brother and his rage at Gadreel and Metatron into his every…
When I was a little girl, I couldn’t wait for bedtime—okay most of the time. No, it wasn’t because I wanted to go to sleep. It was because I knew that before that happened I’d have a bedtime story read to me by my dad. It was our bonding time—and it’s where I encountered my…
“What makes a story work?” Good question. It’s one that I’m not sure I can answer at this time, and the real question is, should I have to? “Meta Fiction” was a great story, and it’s about time there was even a small amount of movement in the angel arc, but I personally found…
(All photos from sweetondean) I’ve chosen to consolidate the last two panels on Saturday because I didn’t get as many notes from them as from others. The Dick and Matt show was a lot of fun and included some tasty treats. The Jim and Misha panel was less rewarding to me personally because it had…
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – working on “Supernatural” has been one of the highlights of my professional career. I am truly indebted to each and every one of you who have embraced my character and enabled me to come back to the show repeatedly to play – without question –…
BosCon, or as I Would Prefer to Call It, “Best Day Ever” Saturday, 2 pm: My soccer-mom SUV has magically turned into a 1967 black Chevy Impala (due mostly to the fact that I have removed my childrens’ booster seats) and my Supernatural playlist is pumping out of the speakers. Boston, here I come. It…
Okay, as a whole I wasn’t quite a fan of this one. As a matter of fact, my re-watch of this episode is going through it for the recap. I was even less impressed the second time. Let’s find out why. The “THEN” segment is promising, for it features The Trickster/Gabriel. That means he’ll be in this episode. Cool…
Thoughts on “Hammer of the Gods” Going into this episode, I thought it’d be light-hearted and funny. I didn’t read the descriptions but I did see the preview clip. Little did I know that Lucifer and the Trickster would be returning and thus overshadowing the humour with drama and emotion. At first, when Changing Channels…
Open Supernatural Couch after Hammer of The Gods Or Your friendly neighbourhood therapist on the verge of a nervous breakdown – wanna join? The last episode Hammer of The Gods was not one of the most heartbreaking ones of our favourite show. I was not a complete basket case as I had…
“Hammer of the Gods” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Poor cop–I wonder what he was doing there, anyway? Weird goings-on to investigate? Why didn’t any of his fellow officers follow up? Why did the tulip come back to life? Why do gods eat people, anyway? That’s not nice! The gods fight like children, are…
“Mystery Spot” –Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel Sam sits up in bed, awakened to “Heat of the Moment” on the radio. “Rise and shine, Sammy!” says Dean enthusiastically, tying his boots on his bed. “Dude, Asia?” asks Sam. “C’mon, you love this song and you know it!” says Dean cheerily. “And if I ever hear…
“We now return to Supernatural.” Back to the sunny, very warm and inviting Sun and Sands. We get a repeat of Dean’s cheesy “Son of a Bitch” tagline, just in case you forgot where they left off. Sam escorts the bikini clad bombshell out and Dean watches lustfully. Actually, that’s no sitcom acting. He actually…
