Ouch. That smarts. This episode made my stomach hurt. Then I realised I’d eaten a whole box of Anzac cookies out of nerves! So maybe the tummy ache was too much sugar. But the heartache was certainly Winchestery.
Wow. Talk about tension. You could cut it with a knife. Thank goodness for a little Garth-infused lightness or Sam and Dean may have spent the entire episode in moody silence. Not that I wouldn’t have watched…
I’ll admit up front, I went into “Southern Comfort” with super low expectations. For one, the past two Garth episodes haven’t been very good. Two, the writer of the episode is Adam Glass. I’ve been his greatest critic and have been appalled by his inability to understand Sam and Dean. So when I saw in…
Warning!!!! If you haven’t seen “Southern Comfort,” stop reading now! There will be spoilers and discussion and talk of the preview for next week’s episode and all manner of things that will spoil the episode for you if you haven’t seen it yet! If you have, come on in and let’s talk!
Ok,.it’s that time of the week again. Already? Wow. Time flies when you’re waiting for a bro confrontation… So here we go for another episode preview.
This weeks episode title makes me want to go out and purchase a wee bottle of Southern Comfort and listen to a few Janis Joplin tunes. It makes the ideal drink to go with bingo playing. Here are the bingo cards, for your comfort. B I N G O Bobby is fondly referenced *chin wibble*…
BLOOD BROTHER Episode 5, Season 8 Robin’s Rambles by Robin Vogel A man walks suspiciously along the docks, and is greeted by Benny. “Hello Quentin.” Quentin is shocked, unable to believe Benny is alive. “I get the confusion. You of all people knew I was truly, truly dead. After all you held down my…
Thoughts on 8×05 – Blood Brother This episode was by and large a relaxing, time filler type episode – it allowed everyone to take a breath, process what we know and laid some ground work for the coming weeks. And I enjoyed it. Like some earlier episodes such Home or Provenance, it was a…
I feel I should part with a nasty secret. I always get performance anxiety when I do a review of a Ben Edlund episode…will I be able to do the episode justice? Will I only miss a little of the imagery I wanted to talk about?
I have a confession,I’m as much a fan of Ben Edlund as I am anyone else associated with this show. This is not to say I have pictures of him around my room, I don’t,but I’m not adverse to the idea. Would I like to meet him? Yes. Have a photo with him? Yes. Spend…
Oh man, am I ever riding a “Supernatural” high! I spent this last weekend at Chicon and was totally immersed in all things “Supernatural”. Hopefully it didn’t have an effect on my perception of this episode because I loved it. (Don’t mind me while I bury the lede.) I think Ben Edlund is a genius…
Supernatural has often drawn parallels between monsters, their victims, and the Winchester brothers, and I’ve always enjoyed episodes where the case of the week played directly into the psychology of the brothers. I thought this episode accomplished that goal with subtlety, avoiding anvil-dropping. And while the clues to Sam’s solo year are coming with agonizing…
