Warnings:: Spoilers for the S5 finale.
The timing of this vid couldn't have been better. While there is never a wrong time for an Impala love vid, there was definitely a right time. Appearing on May 17th, the vid echoed the love and respect for this mainstay of the SPN verse that we had just seen in the S5 finale. But it also had some interesting things to say about females in the SPNverse, which remains a problematical aspect of the series.

In the course of looking up an older post I came across what I wrote last year about hospitalizations in SPN. I realized there had been an important change in S5, namely that Sam has finally been a patient. But I think Sam Interrupted ends up revealing a more audience-directed reason for the pattern.( Read more... )
Well, as with other SPN finales, I was glad this wouldn't be the last we'd see of the show. However, it was for a rather different reason than usual. ( Read more... )
Before the episode, ash48 posted a hypothetical list Dean would have to go through to wrap up this season’s hanging threads. Unfortunately, despite being simply a list it was more entertaining than the penultimate episode. ( Read more... )
I had mixed feelings about this episode, as it provided some new twists and character development but it also seemed to leave too much unexplained. ( Read more... )
I was pleasantly fooled here. ( Read more... )
This latest episode was notable in giving all the characters interesting things to say and do. ( Read more... )
99 Problems could have been an enormous letdown after last week. The fact that it wasn't already says something. ( Read more... )
I think that may have been my favorite SPN episode ever. ( Read more... )
“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” struck me much as Sam Interrupted did, a potentially interesting premise that never really went anywhere, didn’t have a great deal of suspense and also didn’t follow well on the drama of the previous episode. ( Read more... )
I've been musing on something since my last question post about SPN. Some comments by applepie and facetofcathy started me thinking about something that I haven't seen anyone raise regarding the issue of family.
( Spoilers through 5.13 )
From a horror standpoint, this episode was quite a success. I can say with authority that it will put you off your dinner. I think that JA spent the entire episode feeling a fine case of schadenfreude. ( Read more... )
Fortunately there was no truth in advertising in this week's episode title. I imagine Sera Gamble was delighted to have a crack at this storyline. They would also have to have bungled it a lot more than they did for me to be unhappy with it. ( Read more... )
Finally, the show is back. ( Read more... )
I have to say I was feeling less than enthusiastic about reviewing this episode, not because it was awful but because I just didn't find it very engaging. And then I realized what part of the problem was. ( Read more... )
Ben Edlund, at this rate you're looking like the only writer who is giving us something worth watching. ( Read more... )
I found that halfway through this episode I started thinking about columnist Maureen Ryan and something she said about S5: By the way, if Season 5 is terrible, after all these "Watch 'Supernatural'" pieces I've done, I am moving to another country and living under an assumed name. . I haven't been following her columns, but I suspect she's been pretty quiet on the topic of the show lately. ( Read more... )
I'm afraid my first thought when the episode ended (after my squee for next week's preview) was "fandom would have done this so much better." In fact, part of the problem with this episode that even a better screenplay wouldn't help is that there is too much running under the surface here that isn't touched on. ( Read more... )
I found it interesting that the Mad Men episode this season in which Marti Noxon and Cathryn Humphris collaborated should turn out the be the most soap operatic episode yet. I couldn't help thinking about two other stories Noxon and Humphris had penned, "New Moon Rising" and "Sex and Violence" respectively ( Read more... )
