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
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
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’ – Part I
Last night’s review was more of a breathless, happy fan sigh as the wait for Supernatural’s Season 5 Premiere finally came to a close. Tonight’s review is more of the serious stuff, as we start tackling the heavier topics of the episode in typical Sahar’s Blog style. And since I am striving to keep the… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 1: Sympathy for the Devil – part II
And it’s finally here, a bittersweet moment, perhaps, but overall, an awesome one: Supernatural’s Season 5 premiere! There is so, so much to say. I will leave the more heavy stuff for the week-end, as it is already quite late and I’m still in too guiddy a mood to write about serious matters. So let’s… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 1: Sympathy for the Devil – part I
It’s finally here. September 10th. The Season 5 premiere of Supernatural. The return of our favorite pair of brothers battling the evil supernatural forces that would otherwise take over our (mostly) beautiful earth. Can I get a lengthy fan girl squeal, please? There are many things that we can look forward to this season. I… Read More Short and Sweet: Looking forward to SPN’s Season 5 Premiere
The waiting is almost over guys – it’s quite exciting! Between the Supernatural premiere and the anticipation of the nation’s reaction to President Obama’s speech to schoolchildren tomorrow, I have hardly been able to sleep. I don’t think it worth it to go over the last two episodes of Season 4 some more – while… Read More Countdown to Supernatural’s Season 5 Premiere: Only 4 days left!
Most of what I wrote previously about episodes 21 and 22 mostly had to do with episode 21 of Supernatural. And so today, I force myself to let go of my sometimes annoying habit of over-analyzing things and stepping forth into the analysis of episode 22. After all, there are only 6 days left to… Read More Countdown to Supernatural’s Season 5 Premiere: Only 6 days left!
I haven’t been this excited for a season premiere for quite some time. Even waiting for the season premiere of Ugly Betty (Season 3, I believe) to know if she had chosen to fly to join Henry, if she had chosen to go to Paris with Gio (whom I still miss) or if she had… Read More Countdown to Supernatural’s Season 5 Premiere: Only 9 days left!
