TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 11: Sam, Interrupted

It’s finally back! The blogosphere, fan forums, and Tumblr have been buzzing for days; January 21 isn’t only the one-month mark after the winter solstice, but also the return of Supernatural. Obviously, expectations were high, and the episode left some people happy and many others disappointed. Personally, I am quite pleased with this episode; while… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 11: Sam, Interrupted

TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 10: Abandon All Hope

I have to admit that I was dreading watching this episode a little bit for two reasons. First of all, it’s the last episode before the Christmas hiatus, which will last well into January 2010 (how can you do this to us, Kripke?) and second of all, an episode from a TV show covering a… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 10: Abandon All Hope

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

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

TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 8: Changing Channels

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. And I have a secret to share with you all: being critical of something doesn’t mean you don’t like it! What, me, defensive? Not at all. Seriously. I’m… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 8: Changing Channels

TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 7: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

I still think that Supernatural is the best TV show currently being aired. The entire team, from the writers to the producers to the actors, have set the bar extremely high. Episodes are filled with humour, drama, and action, and missing one episode is akin to missing one or more vital links to understanding the… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 7: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 6: I believe the Children are our Future

Previous Supernatural episodes with children in them were pretty brilliant. One in particular that I really loved (and, from what I read on fan discussion boards, so did many other fans out there) is season three’s “The Kids Are Alright.” Seriously, who could forget the adorable little guy who made many hope he was Dean’s… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 6: I believe the Children are our Future

Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 5: Fallen Idols

We have been hearing about it for awhile, and the moment finally happened — Paris Hilton graced the little screen and made for a pretty awesome supernatural force to be dealt with. Discussion forums and fan sites were filled with speculation in the last couple of weeks as to the effect having Paris Hilton on… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 5: Fallen Idols

Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 4: The End

I didn’t quite reach my note-taking record this time; actually, I got nowhere near it. And it’s not because I didn’t have anything to say. It’s simply due to the fact that this episode was really amazing. So amazing in that that while a lot of thoughts flitted by, I was distracted by the awesomeness… Read More Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 4: The End

Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 3: Free to be You and Me

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

Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 2: Good God, Y’all

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
