TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 9: The Real Ghostbusters

November 19, 2009
Supernatural

What a blast this week’s episode of Supernatural was. The line between letting the fans in on the joke and making fun of them was fine, and once again the writers were risking being ostracized, but I think it was trod very carefully (albeit still in a deliciously blasphemous, typical Supernatural way). I don’t know… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 9: The Real Ghostbusters

No, no — contrary to what some emails from disgruntled fans might have implied, I was as usual really looking forward to this week’s episode of Supernatural.

Review: Heroes Episode 3.04

October 7, 2008

A series that started strong, Heroes seemed in big danger of jumping the shark after the Writer’s Strike of 2007-2008.

And, up to now, Season 3 is… Read More Review: Heroes Episode 3.04
