I have no idea what other SPN fans thought, because I have been out of town and have spent the week playing catch-up. I was lucky I got to see the finale on Saturday. You know what? Kripke brought it! A few shocking, horrible, awful deaths; some brotherly love; a hot car that saves the [...]
I love Mark Sheppard. He has shown up on every single one of the shows I love, starting with The X-Files way back in the way back, and including shows like 24, BSG, Dollhouse, Firefly, White Collar, Chuck, and on and on. I think the only one he has missed is Lost. I suppose the [...]
I would like to admit up front that I have always felt that Supernatural is really Dean’s story. Don’t get me wrong, Sam is vital, but I feel like the whole story of the Winchester’s is all about Dean’s journey more than anything. So this week, we had to put up with sad, vaguely annoying [...]
As much as I love my shows, and end up obsessing over them, it does always annoy me when they shove in a minor character that we haven’t seen for years, and expect us to remember everything about them by a quick ‘previously’ snippet. You know, unless it’s someone I love, like Ash. Or The [...]
I dare any Supernatural fan to have walked away from this week’s episode without their heart torn out of their chest. “Oh”, Kripke said, “you’d like to see Heaven would you? Well, let’s have a stroll then, shall we?” After last week’s zombie fest – a perfectly gory and horrifying, if apocalypse light episode – [...]

Or something like that. Yes, Supernatural has been picked up for a Season 6. It’s going to be hard to improve on this season (though I admit, I’m a couple episodes behind). It’s no secret that I wouldn’t have been disappointed if this were the last season, purely for story purposes. So long as the [...]

The first episode back after the winter break gave us a very different view of the brothers than we’re used to. Each had to come to grips with the demons (pardon the pun) they face, in his own way. I think what I liked best about this episode was that just when we thought we [...]

As the episode opened, I once again felt as if I’d walked into a plot tangent, a throwback to the first season when we had the demon/supernatural creature of the week. And even though it fabulously turned out to be soooooo much more than that while at the same time being exactly that. By the [...]

OK, I’m gonna start off saying I’m of two minds about this week’s Supernatural episode, “Fallen Idol.” On the one hand, it was great. It had all the humor and gore we’ve come to expect from Kripke & Co. On the other hand, um, hasn’t the apocalypse been unleashed and Sam & Dean head to [...]

An interesting episode of Supernatural last night. The main question posed is one that seems to come up on all the shows I watch, somehow. Can we change our future? Our past? Is the timeline immutable? If you see your future, is it possible to change the past, or are you stuck because you’ve seen [...]
