You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Abandon All Hope…” at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“There was an interesting little scene tucked away among all this. Dean spots Jo’s tight, jean-clad bottom. And like any red-blooded American male, and exactly like our biology has been programmed in us in order to ensure continuation of the species, he gets the sudden urge to spread some of his DNA around. It’s the last night of the world, after all. He saunters over to her like a tom cat and does that eyebrow thing and that glitter in his eye thing and then he does that leaning thing, all the while his mouth is moving, talking about their last night on earth, drawing her in for that kiss.”

My review of the Supernatural episode “The Real Ghostbusters” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“As well, the other conventionalists, even in the face of Sam and Dean’s skill and experience, and even when Dean tries to tell the Faux Dean and the Faux Sam that he really is Dean, the possibility of Sam and Dean being real is denied and even laughed off. Sam and Dean remain in the shadows, incognito, but certainly not unhonored nor unsung, even though the whole convention is about them. Well, it’s about Chuck Shurley and his fans’ admiration for his work, but mostly it’s about the fans coming together to celebrate their heroes, Sam and Dean. And this they do with amicable passion, and varying amounts of skill.”

There is a post up at pinkraygun.com with two clips of the upcoming ep entitled “Abandon All Hope…”
Mild spoilers in the clips for guest stars and secondary character, but nothing you can’t figure out just by reading the name of the ep.
And here, there be pictures….arrrrrg! (Is it talk like a pirate day, yet?)

Do not mess with this woman (or Dean either!)
It’s Ellen and Dean and Sam and Jo together again, yeah!

My review for the Supernatural episode is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“Dean plays the naughty roommate who instead of researching their next job, spent the previous evening “researching” a hot, nubile young lady in his room. He’s all “gosh” and “gee,” and “son of a bitch,” squirming in embarrassment, trying to figure out what he should say next and wondering when it will be over. (Apparently, Dean’s not watched enough sitcoms to know that no matter what you say, the laugh track will always be there.) And all the while, Sam looks on in disparagement, with his arms akimbo and his mouth screwed into a scowl; he’s the straight man here, holding Dean to all those rules that Dean will break, but only when it’s funny.”

Much fun to be had (and I love seeing them like this!)

My review of the Supernatural episode “The Curious Case of Dean Winchester” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“Then there’s the poker game itself, where we got to observe and observe and (yawn) observe other people playing. We got to watch cards being shuffled, and poker chips being pushed across the table till I thought I was going to go mad. We even got close-ups of chips being pushed across the table, long, drawn out, loving and perfectly focused, needless and uninteresting close-ups of chips being pushed across the table. Lord, it was better than 5-Hydroxytryptophan for falling asleep.”

My review for the Supernatural episode “I Believe the Children Are Our Future” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“The fact that itching powder is made of maple seeds is clearly known to Sam does not surprise me. The fact that his ginormous brain knows so many things is well known in canon and fandom. What is marvelous about the walk and talk scene between the brothers is, besides the brotherly DITHERING (which we’ve not seen in ever so long), is Sam’s Samhair in action. As with last week, there’s only a shy bit of forelock trying to make its way across Sam’s forehead. I’m fully comfortable in stating that Show is using Sam’s hair as a psychological marker on purpose because this week, it’s starting to swoop from its stern center part, and also, in delicious addition, there’s dips and curls peaking out from behind his ears, representing Sam’s struggle to escape from his past. Or maybe it’s just damn cute hair!!”

My review for the Supernatural Episode “Fallen Idols” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“When it gets fun for me, and in particular for Dean, is when he discovers that the car involved in the mysterious death is none other than the “Little Bastard” which is the name of the car James Dean owned when he was killed on the highway. And I don’t know what was more delicious, either Dean fanboying the car or Sam boyishly not getting it at all, standing there, tall and lean, with that confused look on his face while Dean sweet-talks the car into not killing him. No matter, the boys took off their jackets and rolled up the sleeves of their white button-down shirts and stood in the sunlight for me to admire. Both, on screen, At the Same Time. Was there dialog? I think so….”
Pictures…
Sam in a suit is always lovely…
So is Dean in a suit…
But I like them in white shirts best…
Or in grey t-shirts…
Or, yes, in suits…
Or together in suits…
Together in suits and dithering with the locals…
Or researching together…
Which lets them be together, in spite of any fights they might be having…
Although sometimes…
They can hurt each other’s feelings…
But they always come together in the end…
And then Sam distracts me from everything by wearing a shirt with snap buttons on it!

My review of the Supernatural episode “The End” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“There’s this terrific scene where the “croats” (infected humans) espy Dean and send him running. My first thought, was oh, good, Dean loves zombies and these are kind of like zombies, so this ought to be fun for him. But second, that there were too many of them, and so Dean takes off running. Running Dean is a very delicious flavor of Dean, you realize. If you don’t, then you need to see this scene. Dean Running, good lord. Run, Dean, run!”

My review of the Supernatural Episode “Free to Be You and Me” is now up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“It’s nice to see Sam like this because there’s lots and lots of Sam to see, thanks to the camera guy and the lighting guy working in tandem. Sam must have the largest seeing eyes in all the wide, wide world. And he’s luminous, glowing from within, his Samhair trailing his temples even as he’s troubled and struck by massive guilt with the weather reports about hail and fire. Here he is being smacked over the head yet again about how he was the one to start the apocalypse. Much fannish discussion is still ranging as to which brother is more to blame. I don’t think either one of them is to blame for the apocalypse in particular, since both of them were set up from the beginning and fated to play their roles like pawns in a supernatural game of chess.”

My review for the Supernatural Episode “Good God, Y’All!” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
I’ll admit to rather liking this scene, and it’s not really (only) because Sam was tied up, and he looks really good dripping wet, but because Sam got a Scene. All To Himself. Which is a marvelous thing, and a very rare animal. What’s good here is the closeups of Sam’s face. Oh, how I’ve missed this face, this kind of closeup, this kind of lighting and all for Sam. He’s all messed up and dappled with salt and blood and his eyes are enormous, like one of Margaret Keane’s big eyed children. His hair is tousled and the boy looks wrecked. Why are they more adorable like this?
