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 [...]
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, [...]
This Fry and Laurie sketch from the early 90s 1989 shows why it’s so important you don’t let people who resent learning and think knowing stuff is bad make decisions about education for your entire country. It might provide a laugh after the sad week we’ve had of finding out the US has congresspeople who keep telling themselves lies about biology so they don’t have [...]
Reader Ara asks: Every semester the intro psych classes get asked “who is the modern-day June Cleaver?” We never have an answer– and the psych professor doesn’t have one either; he doesn’t think his students’ generation has a quick easy TV stereotype for that kind of Perfect Mother. The closest any class has come is “women in commercials” and we then discussed the implications for [...]
I meant to say this last week: what is up with Dean’s jacket? He already HAD a leather jacket, and one with character. It was worn and rugged and tough. Yeah, yeah, it was from the old days, before they retconned John completely into Bad Father so Bobby could be Good Father. Harumph. There was a lot going on this episode, but I thought it [...]
