Using the foundations both “LARP and the Real Girl” and “As Time Goes By” built, “Everybody Hates Hitler,” adds another layer to being the willing hero and that of legacy: that of knowledge and power. “LARP and the Real Girl” showed us why moving from reluctant to willing hero could be satisfying and fulfilling, and…
Oh my aching face! Aching from the smiling! I mean, right? Like, I was grinning like a fool at the end of “Everybody Hates Hitler”. Sighing, grinning and I may or may not have ‘seal-clapped’… When Sam said “Son of a bitch” and Dean called Sam “little brother” I knew things were going to be…
After last week’s episode I found myself wondering if we would learn any more about the Men of Letters. As it turns out, we’ve only scratched the surface of secret, magical societies. While I am intrigued, I have to say that this episode had my head spinning a bit. Maybe it was just me, but…
OMG, OMG, OMG, was that…character development? Am I actually feeling…warm fuzzies? Did Sam and Dean actually have something good happen to them? My Chuck, what just happened here and why am I so flipping happy? I keep digging back long and hard, trying to remember when at the end of a “Supernatural” episode I…
Warning!!! If you haven’t seen “Everybody Hates Hitler,” read no further! If you do, I will be forced to learn Hebrew and summon a golem and have it shut down your computer so you won’t spoil yourself!
Building upon the willing hero theme that “LARP and the Real Girl” examined, “As Time Goes By” delves into that of legacy. Sam and Dean have inherited a great hunting legacy from their maternal side, the Campbells. They have descended from a long lineage of hunters that have faced the supernatural throughout the centuries….
This episode looks like a real trip with Nazi, a Golem that makes Sam look short and a “Bat Cave” for the brothers. All the more reason to take it all in with a round of Bingo! For those that don’t remember the rules, everytime something happens in the episode that matches a square,…
Welcome to this special edition of our spoiler-lite preview. But it’s always special, I hear you say! Aww shucks. Wait. Maybe that was just me talking… Well this one is extra-special because this week, Alice got to have a bit of a chat with Mr. Edlund, the writer of this week’s episode, “Everybody Hates Hitler”,…
8.12 As Time Goes By: As Long As We’re Alive, There’s Always Hope What if your whole past Isn’t what you always thought? What’s your legacy? Commentary and Meta Analysis While this episode was beautifully shot and had some powerful emotional beats, I had real problems with it because it seemed to radically…
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but it’s time once again for a visual review! I’ve taken some of my favorite/most interesting screencaps from “As Time Goes By” and put them together in one place. Come see what I’ve chosen!
I love the time travel episodes. Love them. I love that through them we’ve found out Mary was a hunter, that she made the deal with the YED that sealed Sam’s fate, that the vessel thing was in the bloodline of the brothers, I love that stuff. I love that we can go forward whilst…
“I freaking hate time travel man.” Well Dean, I find these stories quite amazing. But every time this happens, it does sort of put you guys in a pickle, huh? Like trying to explain laptops to a time traveler. Once again, the Winchesters are privy to an amazing twist of fate. John Winchester grew…
