“Do You Believe in Miracles” – A Week Later
I don’t usually write reviews. I choose instead to analyze plot intricacies as they are presented in each episode. I like watching storylines unfold, week after week, finding clues and embedded themes. I like discovering the subtleties of writing that characterize and underscore so much of Supernatural’s success. Yet it has been a full week…
Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.23- “Do You Believe In Miracles?”
The second half of season nine introduced two formidable weapons. Each one had its strengths, weaknesses, and consequences. Each were taken up by their respective characters as a means to an end—to fill in the “I did what I had to do” piece of the over all season puzzle. These weapons shaped not only the…
Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.22- “Stairway to Heaven”
The first half of season nine built itself elegantly around the serpent in the Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man. We saw several incarnations—from Gadreel to Metatron to the Fall from Heaven to Castiel’s bout as a mortal. Each serpent infected a particular Garden and set in motion consequences still rippling outward. It…

Robbie Thompson’s script was a profound brain teaser; Jensen Ackles’ depiction of Dean’s struggle with the effects of the Mark of Cain was masterfully subtle; Jared Padalecki brought Sam’s worry over his brother and his rage at Gadreel and Metatron into his every…
Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.18- “Meta Fiction”
When I was a little girl, I couldn’t wait for bedtime—okay most of the time. No, it wasn’t because I wanted to go to sleep. It was because I knew that before that happened I’d have a bedtime story read to me by my dad. It was our bonding time—and it’s where I encountered my…
The WFB Spoilery Lite/Speculative Preview: Supernatural 9.18 “Meta Fiction”
We start our run to the finish this week with Meta Fiction. It looks like a big episode. Cas reunites with Sam and Dean. Metatron and Gadreel both make a return. Here’s what we know.
Threads: Supernatural 9.10 – “Road Trip”
Setting aside my overwhelming emotional reaction to the brilliant acting, storytelling and production that resulted in “Road Trip” for just a few minutes, let’s put our heads together and analyze how the episode contributed to the myth arc and plot threads of season nine!
