I didn’t quite reach my note-taking record this time; actually, I got nowhere near it. And it’s not because I didn’t have anything to say. It’s simply due to the fact that this episode was really amazing. So amazing in that that while a lot of thoughts flitted by, I was distracted by the awesomeness… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 4: The End
This review got finished late on Sunday night after an entire weekend of slaving over it. That’s not because I didn’t know what to write. Quite the contrary, actually. The initial version of this review was — are you ready for it? — fifteen pages long. Yup, you read that right. Fifteen. A new personal… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 3: Free to be You and Me
I don’t know how they do it, but Supernatural‘s writers put so much material into each episode that I end up taking nine to ten pages of notes during my first viewing. I took nine pages of notes last week; this week, I took ten. Seriously, how am I supposed to write a review with… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 2: Good God, Y’all
It’s finally here! A bittersweet moment perhaps, as this season might be its last, but still an awesome one: after months of waiting, Supernatural’s fifth season has finally premiered! I haven’t anticipated a premiere this much. What will Lucifer’s rising bring forth? What will the Apocalypse look like? Who will survive, who will die? Will… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 1: Sympathy for the Devil
Previous Supernatural episodes with children in them were pretty brilliant. One in particular that I really loved (and, from what I read on fan discussion boards, so did many other fans out there) is season three’s “The Kids Are Alright.” Seriously, who could forget the adorable little guy who made many hope he was Dean’s… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 6: I believe the Children are our Future
We have been hearing about it for awhile, and the moment finally happened — Paris Hilton graced the little screen and made for a pretty awesome supernatural force to be dealt with. Discussion forums and fan sites were filled with speculation in the last couple of weeks as to the effect having Paris Hilton on… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 5: Fallen Idols

A direct consequence of part II of this review is that people often act out without seeing the whole picture, often bolstered by fear, and without thinking things through. In this episode, Sam, Dean, and Ellen start seeing early on that something isn’t quite right. Because they are hunters and because of their experience, they… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 2: ‘Good God, Y’all’ – Part III
The beginning of the episode was a great way to continue the reflection on the meaning of faith. Often I find that people think that faith is blind devotion; however, is that truly the case? Sam thought he was helping out the good side, but he was blinded by his own desire to help –… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 2: ‘Good God, Y’all’ – Part II
