Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)

I like the fact it has made me so uncomfortable; it’s making me rethink a lot of things, giving me much food for thought and blog posts. Yay for Supernatural! So for those of you who don’t watch… Read More Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)
