My review of the Supernatural episode “Swan Song” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“Sam and Dean drive off in the Impala. In the rain. There’s some cool chiaroscuro lighting on rain-dappled faces, and for me it really doesn’t get any better than this. The boys discuss Dean’s bad feelings about their plans, and then Sam talks seriously to Dean, but not about last words of goodbye. It’s not that all the words between them have been said and there’s nothing more to say. It’s that between them they are saying it, and have been saying it, hello, and goodbye, and I love you, every minute of every day. So there’s no point saying it if it’s already being said. I really liked this scene, obviously.”

My review of the Supernatural episode “Two Minutes to Midnight” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“MB starts handing out intel, like how many people will die in the upcoming disaster in Chicago, like it’s candy. Even as I’m wondering how he knows this, Sam asks the obvious question, how did you put all this together, anyways? Just as I’m about to suspect that MB went ahead and made that deal with the crossroads demon, ta-da, in walks Crowley. It’s predictable but fun. It also means that Sam is the only one who hasn’t made a crossroads deal, though not for lack of trying. And then, just as I’m about to ask the most obvious next question, Sam asks it for me. He got the expression of a 12 year old looking at the innards of dead animal he’s just discovered run over in the road. It’s terribly gross to contemplate, but he just can’t help himself, so Sam looks at MB and says, “Did you kiss him?” (So cute.)”

My review of the Supernatural episode “The Devil You Know” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“Sam is full of Dutch courage (desperate and wound up the entire time) and starts implying what he thinks he ought to do. The line where Sam spells out his idea to MB is classy: “What if you guys lead the devil to the edge, and I jump in?” After which Sam assumes he can take back “the wheel” and all will be well. Except that the demon he’s allowed to possess his body would be none other than the Morning Star himself, and it would get a little more tricky to get away with than your average, everyday demon. MB rightfully objects; he doesn’t want either boy to die a hero’s death, obviously, and neither do I. That is, I don’t want them to die, period.”

Couldn’t be prettier
Oh my word, would you LOOK at that Samhair!!!!
And still more Samhair!!!
Still pretty, by firelight this time
Smoky and handsome by firelight
Does not want Dean to go off without him
Having unusual conversation with Magical Bobby
GOLDEN and handsome and smoky and drinking
Rain-dappled Dean
Confronting the demon
Confronting his past – and looking rather dishy as he does it
