A SUPERNATURAL Tearjerker
April 26, 2013
Episode 820 “Pac Man Fever” [photos: Diyah Pera/The CW] This is another episode done right, courtesy of show creator, Eric Kripke. I didn’t miss the Big Bad for one minute, for one thing. For another, it was an interesting “monster of the week” that only used the monster as a convenient plot device to further […]
A SUPERNATURAL Trip to Hell and Back
April 7, 2013
Episode 819 “Taxi Driver” [photos: Diyah Pera/The CW] This was a good one with plenty to enjoy and lots of cheerable moments. There were also some head-scratching moments, but nothing that ruined it for me. Spoilers follow. Kevin Tran is cracking up and looks terrible. He’s hearing Crowley in his head, and nobody’s quite sure […]
SUPERNATURAL Hunter Babies
March 30, 2013
Episode 818 “Freaks and Geeks” [photos: Liane Hentscher/The CW] Before I review this episode, let’s talk a little about how writing a TV show works. A group of writers gathers in the writer’s room, and one of them is the “head writer” for that episode. This means he or she is the one who gets […]
A SUPERNATURAL Death and Escape
March 25, 2013
Episode 817 “Goodbye Stranger” Back in the saddle with the mid-season opener. I’m starting to feel like I’m repeating myself in these reviews. This episode did what it needed to advance the story arc. I’m ticked off about the death of a character and obvious writer manipulation of the audience, there were a lot of […]
Gallifrey One: Not Just A Doctor Who Convention
March 16, 2013
This is going to be, unfortunately, much shorter than it should, but here is my snapshot of the Doctor Who extravaganza known as… Gallifrey One. Held at the Marriott LAX (that’s next to the Los Angeles airport for those unawares), this is a three-day convention solely devoted to everything in the Doctor Who universe and […]
A Golem of SUPERNATURAL Proportions
February 8, 2013
Episode 813 “Everybody Hates Hitler” What if they finally got a break? I really, really, a million reallys want that to be true. I want everything that happened this week to stick for more than two weeks, and for them to finally get a break. Spoilers after the eye candy. Way back in 1944, a […]
The SUPERNATURAL Holy Grail
February 1, 2013
Episode 812 “As Time Goes By” YES. THIS. Do this and more of it. Writer Adam Glass is my new hero. This is the kind of Supernatural that I want to see every week, and apparently so does everybody else: The fan boards have lit up with excitement and speculation. Major spoilers follow! This episode […]
LARPing the SUPERNATURAL Way
January 28, 2013
Episode 811 “LARP and the Real Girl” As per usual, I have mixed feelings about this episode. Fortunately, the good far outweighed the bad this week as the Winchesters hit their old stride and comedic pacing that originally made the show a success. Things I liked: Felicia Day is always totes adorbs and very […]
Alone Again, SUPERNATURAL-ly
January 21, 2013
Episode 810 “Torn and Frayed” Well… that happened. I still enjoy certain elements of the show, Castiel in particular, but I guess I’m just done with the pointless torture and pointless killing of likable characters to further plotlines. I know I came in late to the party, but I showed up based on earlier ratings […]
