“The Song Remains the Same” Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel That title. What does it mean to Sam and Dean Winchester? That no matter how many times they go to the past, they can’t change it? That whether or not they believe about free will, they don’t really have any? As a viewer who spent much of last…
Here it is, episode night! It’s also a mytharc episode, so bring on the apocalypse. It’s been a while. I’ve already seen this episode, (albeit on a rough cut with no visual effects) so I’m taking bets you’ll like it. Or love it. Or will find its “jaw hits the floor awesome.” Oh heck, someone…
(This review was originally published at Blogcritics.org in 2010, but is no longer there. I’m reposting here to preserve my archive of SPN reviews.) So what if you held an apocalypse and only three bratty teenagers came? A major dud, that’s what. So, that brings us to the episode review for “Swap Meat.” The episode…
Okay, when an episode leaves you an utter speechless mess, it works! Thanks to an early critics preview courtesy of Warner Brothers, I just got to see this week’s upcoming episode “The Song Remains The Same.” It’s definitely epic. It pretty much blew apart my afternoon! After a few weeks of “standalones” this one is going to get the…
Swap Meat was one of those rare Supernatural episodes that left you feeling a little “meh” by the end. Not horrifically bad, nowhere near top quality. When the DVDs of season five hit, Swap Meat will be one of the episodes I choose when I only want ear-TV as a soundtrack to something else that…
My apologies, this is about five or six days too late. I hope you don’t mind re-living an episode from over a week ago! At least it’s better than the one we just saw. ——————————————————————- First episode back from the winter hellatus! Winchesters in a mental hospital is certainly an attention getter. Let’s get right to it. Since…
It’s Friday! It’s clip time. What excites me the most is that in one of these clips, there’s a Castiel sighting! Plus, Sam finally gets to do the time travel thing. It’s awesome. There has been an episode title change. Here’s the synposis courtesy of The CW and Warner Brothers: The episode, titled “The Song…
5.12 – SWAP MEAT Robin’s Ramblings Robin Vogel I have never been disappointed in an episode of SUPERNATURAL before, but I was not impressed with last night’s “Swap Meat.” The performances were terrific, and some scenes stood out with humor and more, but the entire show was ruined for me for one reason: Dean would…
(This was originally posted on Blogcritics.org in 2010 but is no longer there. I’m reposting here so I’ll have a proper archive of all my SPN reviews.) On my website, thewinchesterfamilybusiness.com, I’ve been going back and doing mini reviews of Supernatural season one as the episodes air in syndication on TNT. The idea is that…
What the last nine weeks have taught me is that I’m deeply dependent on Supernatural to maintain my sanity. During the holidays, it was easier to not notice the Hellatus, what with the food poisoning and last minute shopping to contend with. But as school started up again and I find myself immersed in my…
Folie à Deux – Sam and Dean in the Cuckoo’s Nest Usually I don’t write reviews. This time, however, I couldn’t help myself. This was an episode worthy of the early Supernatural stories, the ones that made us love the show – a monster, a creepy location, a formidable team of charming hunters…
It’s Friday! It must be clip day! I wasn’t sure if I was getting these this week but I was thrilled to see them. So, for those that haven’t seen the official description, here goes: SAM’S BODYSNATCHED! – High school nerd Gary (guest star Colton James), conjures up a body-switching spell and changes bodies with Sam…
