Supernatural Episode Review: Lucifer Rising

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Lucifer Rising” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“For one very shocked minute, I thought for sure that Dean was going to have to drink the angel’s blood and considered what an interesting mirror that would be to Sam’s drinking the demon’s blood all this time, and how neat and tidy that would be. But no, the Soap Angel draws some symbols on the wall that allow him to send Zachariah off somewhere. And then as everything starts glowing, he zaps Dean back into the real world, and he says, “It’s the archangel. I’ll fight them. I’ll fight them all. ” I must tell you, I fell a little bit in love with the Soap Angel at that moment, because while he is a dick and hasn’t been very helpful to Dean, there was something in his voice there. Strength of purpose. Courage. Even love. “

 An excerpt:

And oh, what a torment. The scene is beautifully filmed in the throbbing light as it passes through the fan, with touches of red lantern and glowy sun, smudged with shadows that lay inky and dark in the rounded corners of the panic room. The jewel here is Sam himself, all sweaty and miserable, alternately calling for Dean and talking to ghosts of Winchester past, figments of his fevered imagination. And all the while, he’s dressed in a provocative snap-button shirt, with his Samhair lank and messy along his neck, his eyes artfully marked by the dark circles beneath them. True suffering could not be any more beautiful than it is here.”

Supernatural Episode Review: The Rapture

An excerpt:

To me this was a Sam episode. Not a Samhair episode, though there was lots of that to sigh over, but a Sam episode. Yes, I do realize there were other characters abounding, most notably Sam’s older brother. But for me, this ep was about Sam. The younger son. The baby of the family. The guy with the birthday in May. Astrology sign of Taurus. Tall. Handsome. Fabulous hair. Green eyes. Sweet smile and gorgeous dimples. Manly shoulders and a voice that could sing Grendel to sleep. Remember Sam? The guy who’s story we’ve been given such a paucity of so as to render him almost invisible? Yes. Him. Sadly, Show mucked about for most of the ep wasting time telling someone else’s story, namely that of the Soap Angel.
