So it’s official. Dean’s a hug-monster. The man truly does “wuz hugs” and I’m cool with it! Oh boy am I cool with it! I was excited for this episode from the beginning. I like Charlie; I like Robbie Thompson’s writing. I was thinking, this is going to be a fun filler! That’s what…
Going into this episode, I knew I would love it. From the outset it had too many great elements not to be good: humour, references to the Carver Edlund book series, Felicia Day’s Charlie – one of my favourite recurring characters to date, and some emotional reveals as well. And yet what this episode brought…
I did not expect this episode to bring on the waterworks quite so much. Maybe I’m just feeling overly sentimental as this season draws to a close but I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions during this episode. And I mean that in a good way. And the best part of it…
It’s hard to fathom, but there are only 3 episodes left in season 8. 3! Can you believe that? 3 more weeks and the season will be over. We know that the final 3 episodes will be all about the season mytharc, the trials, the tablets and closing the gates of Hell. The synopsis for…
WARNING! If you haven’t seen “Pac-Man Fever” yet, read no further! There will be spoilers and all manner of discussion about the episode. So watch it for yourself before you check out this review. And then definitely check it out!
I remember when Pac-Man became all the rage. I was never very good a video games. I was ok with games like golf or pool where I could take my time to place my shot. But games that required any kind of speed like Pac-Man, space invaders and yes even Pong (hangs head in shame)…
8.19 Taxi Driver: No Reason To Think I Won’t See You Again Somewhere Down The Road Reaper shows the way. Sam frees Bobby’s Hell-trapped soul; Benny says goodbye.
As the end of Season 8 of Supernatural rapidly approaches, I find myself eagerly waiting for what lies ahead. The season, though not perfect, managed to introduce several interesting narratives, making me invested in the fates of all those involved in this story. I also find myself hoping to see a few specific situations play…
Whoa. 4 episodes left in the season. That seems pretty crazy. The Js have already wrapped and as I was writing this, Russ Hamilton tweeted that it was the last day of shooting for the crew. Season 8 is nearly over. It’s kinda hard to believe! So as we hurtle towards the end of…
Sometimes, when I lay awake in the middle of the night, the most random thoughts about Supernatural pop into my head (Alice’s last article said the same thing happens to her!). The other night it was about the third trial. I guess it all started with me seeing the name of episode 8.23: “Sacrifice”. There’s…
One thing Supernatural does best is tug on multiple threads in its story, weaving them together so that each one is essential to the whole. The layers that this provides allows for deep insight into the story and its characters. Each layer adds another texture, another emotion, another clue as to what is being told….
Episodes like “Taxi Driver” are a struggle for me. I had the same problem with last season’s “The Born-Again Identity.” The possibilities are oh so amazing, yet the execution just ends up falling short. It becomes an internal struggle at review time between my inner TV critic and my inner fan girl. Those two bitches…
