“Everybody loses everybody and then one day BOOM your number’s up. But at least you’re making a difference. So enjoy it while it lasts, kid, because hunting’s the only clarity you’re gonna find in this life. That makes you luckier than most.” I loved this episode. As much as I loved Season Six’s “Frontierland”, this episode trumps that one by, well, a lot in my opinion. Written by Robbie Thompson (who also wrote this season’s “Slash Fiction”), and directed by Phil Sgriccia, “Time After Time” has to be hands down my favorite episode of this season, and among my favorite episodes of the series. The episode was a perfect storm of casting, costumes, setting, music and storytelling! A little warning–I have gone a little nuts with the pictoral representation of the episode on my review. Thank you CW, and specifically Winchester Family Business for the awesome stills. In “Time AFter Time”, Sam and Dean find out about a new case from an unexpect More After The Cut...

Friday night Supernatural returned with ratings up about 14%! I am so happy ratings have stayed consistent for the seventh season. After all, Friday at nine is a tough time to sell. I remember being a teenager when the X-Files started its run. I watched Sliders at 8pm on FOX on Fridays, but was afraid of slipping even further into a social coma if I watched a 9pm show. Sure, you could watch the 8pm show and still go out after, but heading out at 10pm? Not really an option–especially if you are still dealing with a curfew…I guess college weekends were still a possibility, but suffice it to say I didn’t start watching the X-Files “live” so to speak until it moved to Sundays. But I stay home for the Winchesters. Yet another reason I refer to Dean Winchester as my t.v. boyfriend… The holiday hiatus officially ended and we were back with a new episode. We left the Winchesters in December with the sinking feeling that Bobby wasn’t getting out of this ordeal a More After The Cut...

I’m sorry I am so far behind on writing this review! Lots of real life stuff was taking up my time. If you’re interested in my ramblings on that, check out my personal blogs. Truthfully, I have found this episode very difficult to write about. Such an amazing episode, and yet, well, Bobby! John buying the farm in the first episode of Season Two didn’t really bother me much. Sure, it was sad losing Jeffery Dean Morgan, but I was never a fan of John Winchester. I hated the way he treated Dean. I hated the wedge he drove between Sam and Dean. A lot of people love John though. A friend of mine actually commented that John was a real guy’s guy. Yes, this friend is actually a guy. He said that he liked that the writers had the courage to make John a dick… But Bobby is another story. I loved Bobby. I loved how he knew how to get Dean out of his shell. He knew how to make Dean face his issues, to realize that he needed to take care of himself too, not just worry abo More After The Cut...

There are good Supernatural scripts, and then there are great Supernatural scripts. Sometimes it takes seeing a truly great script to really notice where other scripts are lacking. Take the episode that aired a week ago last Friday for example. Watching it live, I knew it wasn’t one of the best, but found the episode enjoyable enough. Next to last Friday’s episode, all I can see are the flaws from the Friday before! The writers didn’t pay really much attention at all to the fact that Sam, Dean and Bobby are on the run from the Leviathan. Although they were still using the not-Impala last week, Sam and Dean didn’t seem to be trying to stay “off the grid” as it would be because of the recent impostor killing spree either! Sam and Becky used Sam’s real last name! In this episode, we see Sam, Dean and Bobby trying to stay really low key. They are squatting in run down houses because they can’t use credit cards. We know from Dean they have been doing this for week More After The Cut...

So how many of us guessed correctly about who was going to be Sammy’s bride in this episode? And how many of us guessed correctly how she did it? Setting aside that most of us who have a slightly obsessive love for the show would have figured out both of these things sans the aid of any spoiler content from people who were “in the know” early, I found this episode highly enjoyable. “Season Seven, Time For a Wedding” was written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loftlin who have written some really amazing episodes! Most recently, they wrote “The Girl Next Door” and “Frontierland”. The episode was directed by Tim Andrew. This was his first Supernatural episode, but he has directed a few episodes of Teen Wolf and Son of the Beach. Neither show have I watched, but I did enjoy his attention to facial expressions in this episode. I would also like to know who was responsible for all the sweater usage! I have never seen so many sweaters used in a Supernatural episode. My fa More After The Cut...

After taking part in a paranormal investigation last night, and then dealing with horrible music at Barnes and Noble today, I am finally buckling down to write this review! Friday nights episode had me at the gory death by planchette opening teaser. That scene really set the stage for the whole episode. Right at the very beginning we got nasty blood spatter after the classic “seeing breath” phenomena. Right away we knew we were in for a good old fashioned Supernatural episode. Written by those two twitter teasers Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, “The Mentalists” definitely delivered. We had our boys back! This is the first Supernatural eppie they have scripted, but it is very clear that they know and understand our boys. There were the cute little comments and crazy moments to remind us about what has been going on. For example, last episode there was a manhunt for Sam and Dean Winchester. They were on the Most Wanted list. They had “died” with the help of the Sheriff More After The Cut...

I’m sorry I’m getting this review out so late! Unfortunately we were without power from Saturday through Wednesday…which made writing very difficult, unless I wanted to battle for a plug at Barnes and Noble or somewhere else. Sadly, my laptop is “old” now, so the battery doesn’t hold a charge anymore. I will also be working on the review for “Shut Up, Dr. Phil” soon too. First ChiCon then a lack of power! I will catch up though. I decided to write my review of “Slash Fiction” before “Shut Up, Dr. Phil” because, quite frankly, I LOVED “Slash Fiction”! My “Shut Up, Dr. Phil” review will also include some of my set watching, as I saw scenes film while I was in Vancouver. But moving along…Slash Fiction is definitely one of my favorite episodes in a long time. Leviathan!Sam and Leviathan!Dean were great, there were some great Sam and Dean moments, and we got a new ‘ship– Jody and Bobby! But I’m getting ahead of myself… “Slash Ficti More After The Cut...

I made the decision to go to Chicago after all right before Vancouver, but since I had to spend so much getting to and being in Vancouver, I wanted to go to Chicago as cheaply as possible…I went Silver to Vancouver, but Chicago I went General Admission. I also took the train to Chicago instead of going by plane. I’m sure since my coach train tickets came to just under $160.00 round trip, it was a cheaper way to go by train than by plane, but I admit I didn’t even look at the rates to O’Hare from Bradley. I wanted a different style of travel first off—I have never taken a trip by train like this! Twenty hours traveling by the Great Lakes! Also, I had quite a bit of apprehension about going on another plane ride…I was so nervous going to and from Vancouver! As far as train travel goes, the seats are bigger than on the plane. You can also move around on a train. And actually have to if you want to eat dinner or get snacks or coffee. The only real issue besides the she More After The Cut...

After what seemed like a crazy long time, we got an episode that centered on Dean! I can call this a “monster of the week” episode—or maybe more accurately a “god of the week” episode, but it really wasn’t a “stand alone” episode…due to the nature of it bringing up a lot of back story as far as what Dean feels guilty about… Written by Adam Glass and directed by Robert Singer, “Defending Your Life” is the first “leviathan free” episode of the seventh season. Additionally, Sam’s issues are only touched on briefly, and literally, when Sam hears the voice Sam and touches the palm of his hand where Dean had to sew him up. We start off with someone running from a car, which catches up with him and runs him over IN HIS APARTMENT. Sam and Dean go in to investigate what seems to be a nice run of the mill black and white case only to find out that things just aren’t ever going to be that easy for them…It seems like vengeful spirits are taking out people who More After The Cut...
