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!!”
Pictures…
Just a big kid, really…
Serious Dean is a very delicious flavor…
One of Sam’s famous eyerolls…
Just being together is fun…
Really, really fun!
Dithering in the hosptial with Sammy and his Samhair…
And Dean’s big green eyes…
Sammy’s beautiful face…
His adorable frown…
And that hair, oh, that hair!
Driving and dithering, which is as it should be…

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!”

(I apologize for the abundance of exclamation points, it was just that kind of day!)
Please don’t sit like that!
Future Dean to the rescue!
Serious Future Dean!
Present Dean!
Boyish Present Dean!
In the Garden with the Devil!
Face to face with Fate!
A million creepy expressions!
Twising the meaning!
Lost for words!
Still lost for words!

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?

Pink Raygun has asked me to represent them at a SyFy Channel press event in Vancouver. Since there are so many fans of the BSG and SGA universes out there, my editors have opened the event to include fans’ questions – if you have any you would like have represented at the event, you can post them at the Pink Raygun site.
I for one want to know why they did that to Starbuck!!!!!

My review for the Supernatural Episode “Sympathy for the Devil” is up at pinkraygun.com.
Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“Sam is my little lovemonkey, but the best part of this scene is Dean himself, where he resists Zach, and pouts with that lovely mouth of his. And then he does a whammy on the wall to send Zach and his goons into who-knows-where. Finally, finally, we get to see a Winchester doing the derring-do with some swash and buckle, taking matters into his own hands instead of just waiting around for someone to tell him how to feel or what to think.”

My review for the Supernatural episode “All Hell Breaks Loose, Part II,” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!
An excerpt:
“You like reunion scenes? I do. Especially when they begin like this one. Dean’s eyes are glittering as he sees Sam and hugs him hard enough to squeeze the life out of him. Sam, in his little brother way, is disoriented and complains that Dean is hugging too hard, and that’s when the lies begin. And I don’t mean one or two little white lies. I mean big whoppers that start a trend that last for the next freaking two seasons. Two seasons, people! Two WHOLE seasons of Sam and Dean prevaricating and stooping to subterfuge and all kinds of dishonest shenanigans, which leads ultimately, as I have said, to a dearth of brotherly touching. So live it up while you can, kids.”

So it’s that time of year again! Supernatural’s 5th Season starts on September 10th, and I anticipate that it will be a great ride. In the meantime, here is the link to the Pink Raygun article I wrote about those scenes that I wish Show had filmed (or filmed differently). You can read about it here.
