I have kind of only been watching Supernatural with half an eye lately. Last week’s made me laugh out loud in spots and there are aspects of the show that have improved since the season opener. Still not fond of how colorful and softly lit Sam’s flashbacks are. Still fond of all the flashbacks, full stop, actually. But I’m starting to actually, really hate Dean. [...]

It seems silly to do a reaction post for Supernatural in the wake of Election Tuesday here in the US, but here we go anyway. You know what? While I get Dean’s perspective about Benny and Purgatory changing him, I have to side with Sam here. It’s like all the things Dean used to harp on Sam about he now does himself, and sees no [...]
An Origin Story, aka HERE THERE BE MANPAIN. I keep thinking that, as compelling as this near-apocalyptic story is, we’re kind of getting shortchanged regarding the happier times, and that middle ground where Peter, Olivia, Walter and Astrid start fighting the good fight. I know it wasn’t possible for them to do more linear storytelling, which has never been Fringe’s style anyway, but it’s sometimes [...]
I enjoyed the episode tonight. I’m still feeling a bit like we’re watching a different show. Not that it’s a bad thing; change is good and going forward is vital for a show as old as Supernatural is. The problem I’m having is that in the past when the show went into certain directions, the core of it remained Sam and Dean. I’m hoping that [...]
Every season has its fillers, and with J2 having put in seven long years and have, y’know, lives outside of Supernatural (gasp), I’d say that they lightened load will become more obvious even outside the negotiated “give the boys a day off” episodes. Going into this one knowing it was what it was made it more palatable. Yes, it was cliched and predictable (I mean, [...]
Damn, the Baldies are freaking creepy. I miss September. He was creepy also, but also sweet and almost innocent. I wonder if the Fringe writers will bring him back somehow. I can’t remember – is this season truncated to thirteen episodes only? I’ve said it before; I am going to miss this show. Re-encasing the lab in amber was such a simple, but smart move. [...]
I didn’t really watch this one very carefully. I think the gist of it was: the writing staff of Supernatural run with Mayan mythology and don’t care how closely they get to it. Also, Sam wants to eat organic apples while Dean wants Sam to be his brother and to hunt monsters with him forever and ever. And one woman was the baddie, the other [...]
