Reaction: Supernatural (7×20)

by sbg on April 27, 2012

You all know how I feel when Supernatural makes an episode more guest star heavy than Sam and Dean heavy, but at least this time it was Felicia Day (she’s not typecast, is she? *wink*). And she made it through the entire episode. Which I liked, for the most part. Charlie: oh my, I feel a bit verklempt about a female guest that is smart [...]

Okay, wha…? Fascinating 19th episode, really, packed with lots of good stuff and lots of LOL-it’s-the-future! stuff. What is it with cheesy “future music” no show can resist when they time jump? And coffee chewing gum (snicker), new tech, old tech that’s better than new tech and why do wristwatches still exist? Not to mention, the despotic tyrants complete with their Gestapo-esqe clad army. Anyway. [...]

Son of a goat, I had a whole post written and WordPress logged me out without my consent, and before a draft was saved. *weeps* I’ll sum up, because it’s late and I’m tired and whatnot. 1) Annie, a newly made up old hunter friend, calls the boys and we find out (hahaha, brace yourselves, because this is fuh-nny!) that at some point during the [...]

Honestly, this one dragged a little for me and I had to watch it twice just because I kept falling asleep last night. This, I think, actually has more to do with a long week than Fringe itself. Because lots of stuff happened in this episode. I’m not going to do a blow by blow, because – well, I’m presuming if you’re reading this, you [...]

Oh, Lincoln. I don’t have a lot to say about this episode. I knew the second Agent Lee volunteered to go to the other side in Astrid’s place that he wouldn’t come back. I also knew early on something would happen to Captain Lee to make that a smoother transition. The paralleling between case of the week and deeper arc was strong in this one. [...]

Ah, I appreciate that they don’t just let Olivia carry on with work. A nice, realistic touch having her go through psych evals and not actually passing, because, yeah, she’s clearly compromised as far as this timeline knows. However, I sat there thinking, “So she doesn’t remember personal details, does that really have anything to do with her skill as an agent? The Olivia she [...]

Of all the characters to bring back, they bring back … Garth. At least we know they didn’t just ditch Castiel in the psych ward, but I would have sworn Meg applying for a job was supposed to be some secretive plot of hers. Clearly not. My guess is she’ll keep the boys in the loop unless Castiel starts becoming less vegetable-like. Incidentally, how did [...]
