You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “It’s a Terrible Life” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!
An excerpt:
“One of my favorite conversations involve Sam suggesting to Dean that they give everything up and travel the country together doing good works, and it’s not just because of the First Aid. (Really!). Dean objects, bringing up his portfolio, and asking how they would live. “What are we supposed to do,” he asks, “apply for fake credit cards, eat bad diner food, and share crap motels?” I know the answer to that, even as Sam admits that it’s all a little shaky. But it’s interesting to see Dean objecting to a lifestyle that he previously embraced to his manly bosom with everything he had. And then Sam adorably follows up with the fact that in his dreams, he and Dean were friends, and more than that, they were like brothers. Which is, of course, what the whole show is about, and I love the fact that Show acknowledges this out loud.”
Okay, so I’m stuck at home during this early spring blizzard, and noting, with some surprise, the number of posts over at Pink Raygun, following my most recent ep review of “On the Head of a Pin.” While I’m not going to take credit for the discussion that has taken off on its own, I can call myself a facilitator for providing the space. Maybe. Anyway…I got a case of the giggles and made one of these to send to my editor at PRG, because sometimes, you just have to pat yourself on the back.

An excerpt:
“There is a saving grace to this ep and its name is Dean Winchester. Not that I’m not a Samgirl forever and for always, but I’m a little fickle in that if the one boy isn’t on the screen, then there’s the other boy who is, and just as easy on the eyes. Though, this time around, not so easy on the psyche, my psyche, which got all jumped up and anxious and worried about Dean from the moment the first reel starts to run to the closing credits. Though I dare you to try juxtaposing that sort of fannish love with the equally fannish desire to see him get the crap beat out of him, just try. You’ll come away as I did, needing more wine.”

An excerpt:
“Favorite scene, hands down, was the opening scene. Dean and Sam are in a diner. It could be any diner anywhere in the country, but it is, in essence, their diner, for it is the same diner they always go to: a slightly worn, of questionable health code, non-chain diner. The kind of real place you hope to find on your travels along the blue lines, an out-of-the-way discovery that will have the best biscuits and gravy your mouth has ever had the pleasure to experience, the fluffiest flapjacks with plenty of butter and fake maple syrup (or Kayro, if you prefer), and coffee perky enough to rattle the bones in your toes and keep you flying down the highway for miles and miles. (I love diners and eating breakfast at them, can you tell?)”
BenBella Press asked me to review their latest pop culture book, this one entitled “In the Hunt: Unauthorized Essays on Supernatural.” Which I did and which you can read at pinkraygun.com.
