Poor Sam (maybe it would help if he actually had a soul?) can’t figure out how Dean knows anything about caring for a 6-month-old infant whose mother has just been brutally murdered... And poor Dean is Doing His Best and finally realizes there isn’t really a good solution to his dilemma of protecting Lisa and Ben from his life, and what he unwittingly brought to their doorstep. It’s tragic, no mat...

Finally back from my personal hiatus, and I’m eager to get right into Season Six! I’m not sure that s6 is near the top of anyone’s favorite season list, but there’s just so much meaty goodness hidden away this season-- especially for my fellow Dean girls-- that I’m 100% serious about being excited to get into it. Maybe I can even change a few minds along the way (though... nobody will ever convinc...

Welcome to the end of Kripke Era (sort of... he steps back, but is involved enough with s6 to have written 6.22... and he sticks around to help shape s7 before running off to Revolution and taking two free Led Zeppelin tracks with him... thanks for nothing, pal... >.>) (aside to note i got my annual reminder that kripke is like two and a half weeks older than me while paying more attention t...

O Death! I will always love this episode just for the intro scene (and many other things too, but heck... that’s how you do a character intro!). The penultimate episode of s5, and of Kripke Era. There’s just a lot going on, and I realized as I lay in bed after recording this that there was so much more I wanted to say about Death, Chuck’s Story/Process, and the parallel of Death having been shackl...

Crowley is the devil the Winchesters know, but the Winchesters are the devil Crowley knows, and everybody’s gonna compromise at least a little to reach the common goal. And they all hope it’s gonna be worth it. With only two episodes left to go in s5 after this one, it’s getting to desperation hours... I enjoy straightforward plot episodes. The main horrifying revelations in this one revolve aroun...

And we’re back after my unplanned and unscheduled week off! I’d probably feel better if our first episode back wasn’t notoriously Problematic™... But we do our best with it, and get through it with a side helping of the best pie in the tri-state area (honestly... what three states are we supposed to be measuring here? this is Muncie, Indiana...) Anyway! We get Gabriel apparently committing to the...

Episode 100! *blows party horns*  regarding my tagline on this weeks’ graphic... I think everyone knows that the outtake we know that quote from comes courtesy of the season 5 gag reel, along with a number of other outtakes from this episode, and it feels suitably celebratory for the 100 episode milestone! Yes, this is the 100th episode of Supernatural, but it’s also the 100th episode of this...

Heck that’s a lot of numbers :’D We’re approaching the end of s5 and the apocalypse is heating up. Sam is trying to hold everything together while Dean and Cas are experiencing personal low points and losing all hope. And then they run right into the Whore of Babylon, preaching purity culture and manipulating her followers into damning themselves to hell. Good times, good times... This one went a...

We finally get to explore the Great Gig in the Sky... Heaven, as it were. I could talk about this episode for hours. Days, even. But what is Time. (and yes, I considered just assembling this entire post out of song titles and lyrics from the album, but I figured that would give us all Brain Damage... fine, I’ll stop now) We finally get a peek behind the curtain, but what are we actually being show...

Slightly off kilter since it was written, filmed, and intended to air BEFORE what we all think of as 5.14, it still punches us all in the face with Bobby Feels, with Sad Dean Feels, with zombie pie, and with JODY MILLS. It’s an exceptionally short episode this week, so here let’s get right to the bonus material: The Superwiki page My tag Rewatch notes from June 2019 and April 2017 Lizbob’s post ab...

Famine. We’re back to the Horsemen, the apocalypse, and learn some deep truths about Team Free Will. I think the most important takeaways from this episode are to remember that it was written and produced to come AFTER the episode that aired as 5.15 (Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid), and immediately before 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon. It makes so much more sense emotionally and for character continuity t...

Heaven (and in this case, specifically Michael) has an agenda. The long-scheduled apocalypse is proceeding apace, but how does one convince one’s recalcitrant vessel to play along? Well, a nice little demonstration of power, combined with a charmingly delivered (I’m sure Michael thought he was ever so polite about it) reminder that there’s no such thing as Free Will and everything in the history o...

That one where Sam was Gary! A true MotW that has Dean mostly tiptoeing around Sam in the aftermath of his confession at the end of the previous episode. Even when “Sam” is behaving in incredibly un-Sam-like ways, Dean’s still hesitant to poke too hard at it. I’m not sure this episode could’ve worked under other circumstances (Dean would’ve twigged to it sooner if he wasn’t trying so hard to...

It hits me once in a while how many monsters almost managed to take out Sam and Dean, and the wraith in this episode is an especially good example-- she of the “okie dokie” and the absolute confidence in her own understanding of the situation to control it all, to manipulate the story to her own advantage with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. She really thought she was invincible...

Why bring back the magical Colt after hyping it up all season as potentially the only weapon that can kill Lucifer only to bring it back, declare oopsie no there are actually five random and unspecified exceptions to this weapon’s power that we will never actually address in canon, and then lose it in the woods to have it disappear without another mention for years? Yeah, I got no idea either. Suc...

Chuck makes problems for everyone. But that’s pretty much the meta overview of the entire series, isn’t it? In this episode, he specifically gets to be a petty lil guy, though, which gave me an awful lot of real estate to roll around on. I think I started this episode by hoping it would come in shorter than last week, and... uh... sorry about that? I was really on track to succeed at that! And the...

like the graphic says, play your roles or be stuck in tv land forever! if that ain’t the most meta thing ever said in canon... This episode is definitely a favorite, but it’s also a really rich one to discuss for so many reasons. It’s basically just a way scaled back and condensed version of s15. Thematically, if you leave off the wtf of 15.20, it’s the s15 speed run. Since I ran so long in the ta...

like the graphic says, sit down, shut up, play the game while you watch your brother die... a chuck metaphor with gambling! It amuses me to no end that while I was editing this week’s audio, I had the TNT loop on the background and watched 15.09 The Trap and 15.11 The Gamblers. Both of which involved Chuck, gambling as a life and death scenario, and being pushed to just play Chuck’s game and do wh...

*steadfastly refuses to sing the song despite having to sing it about 50 times when i was in 6th grade...* There’s a lot to unpack in this episode. There’s some similarities to Jack’s endgame problem-- wanting a world without lies. Sure, lies can cause problems, but so can the truth, if you’re suddenly overwhelmed with it and forced to deal with it. Poor Cas gets turned into a toy for a hot minute...

It’s a short one this week, friendos! The podcast, yes, but also the episode itself. It runs so short they included a SOON segment at the end of the ep promoting the next three episodes! And for one filled with painful irony-- a god cosplaying as beloved icons in order to devour fans of said icons-- and a good number of classic lines (four score and seven years ago, I had a funny hat!), the episod...

I survived this one. It’s Thanksgiving day as I type this up, and I’m giving thanks for that. Despite my personal issues with this one, there’s a ton of important stuff for Dean here-- stuff that I believe will haunt him (and in some ways stunt his emotional growth out of the fear that he could become That, or that Cas could, if he’s not careful) for years to come. Plus this one really doubles dow...

We all love this one for the wonderful growing relationship between Dean and Cas, and wail at the horror of everything Sam experiences-- from being force-fed demon blood, the compounding guilt, the fear that he can never get out or his life and destiny can never change, and his first face to face with Lucifer... it’s a big one. How free are they, really? Is destiny still coming for them? Are they...

Edwin Starr gave us the perfect title for both halves of this episode. :’D Good God... or at least Cas is hoping God would care about his creation, even if we eventually learn the truth years down the line. The hope and faith Cas has now is destined to be shattered in horrific ways that will power his arc for the rest of the series, though, so I am here for it. And War, the first Horseman of the a...

Welcome to Season 5, where every angel suddenly has a sword with zero explanation! That sentence sums up my general feelings about season five in a meta fashion. It’s all very Chuck. Dean is having a really hard time dealing with the fallout of s4-- the devil’s on the loose, and it’s all because he failed Sam, and because Sam basically renounced him, trusted a demon more than him... Sam was manipu...

Spoiler alert: Chuck won. Mostly, anyway. Team Free Will is just finding their spark, and just having their eyes opened to just how badly the story had been manipulating them before. Only none of it happens in time to stop the apocalypse, and Chuck’s story gets to continue chugging along. I hacked out this post the other day that sort of sums up my feelings on 4.22 vs 15.20, and I think it serves...
