“Death Takes A Holiday” is one of those episodes loaded with so much, that this means an ultra long recap. I’m just going to get started, since there’s plenty to cover. In what is one of the shortest teasers on record, two guys come out of a bar are having a spirited discussion about fantasy…
Wow..whoa…erm…geez…I guess that’s one approach to family therapy. From the word go, in the previews nonetheless, the message is this is gonna be an angry one. Another clue, the title, “Sex and Violence.” There’s definitely that. I didn’t get to see this one live, much to my dismay. While traveling I kept looking at the clock…

Just about any opinion of Supernatural these days is unpopular, so I’ll state up front I loved “Criss Angel Is A Douchebag.” Not just for the title either. This episode excelled in all areas; the writing, the directing, the acting. What puts it above others is though the superb guest acting. Who knew a magic themed episode could be…
(This article originally appeared on blogcritics.org in 2009. It has since been removed from their archive. I’m posting it here to preserve the history!) Once in a while, it’s beneficial to look backward before going forward. Sure “After School Special” isn’t embroiled with the presence of angels and Ruby leading Sam toward the darkside, but…
Bonus! This recap covers the Sam scenes the CW forgot to show! You know, the ones that gave Sam some action and a plot. I even get to reveal the alternate ending! While “Family Remains” was a decent filler episode, there just wasn’t enough to it where deep analysis on my part is required. It’s just some good…
(Most of the original article can be found here, minus page 6. The original comments are there, you’ll probably recognize some of the names!

Kripke doesn’t waste anytime getting into the action, so I won’t either. The first scene continues from the standoff from last week. To sum up, angels on one side, Sam, Dean, and Ruby on the other, and Anna hiding in the other room. Anna has to die, Sam and Dean are appalled. Got all that? Great! Uriel…
Ah, the polarizing episode. I love recapping these. The episode that sharply divides the fan base between loved it and hated it. I understand the hated it part. After all, Dean was relegated to supporting character and there was probably way more Ruby than people would have liked. I also understand the loved it, because that’s me. Ruby had to be…

Writing this week’s recap was a bit of a difficulty, because I’m still laughing or crying over various scenes. To say the least,”Wishful Thinking” was a stunner. Stunning in more ways than one. I like being pleasantly surprised though, and a great way to win my heart is through the device of black comedy. Ben Edlund wrote it, Robert…
