Supernatural Episode Review: 99 Problems

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: 99 Problems

My review for the Supernatural episode is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“Sam and Dean have a dither at one of the tables. Sam’s Samhair is in full force, making his face look all sculpted, with his strong, manly jawline coming across to me like an erotic shock. Oh, dear me, his mouth is so rosy and sweet, and he just keeps moving it as he talks. And as for Dean, he’s lit up and all green eyed and sparkly, and his eyebrows say yes, yes, while his lips say no, no, and it’s almost too much. Really, both of them being this beautiful at the same time should be against the law. What are they talking about? Oh, yes.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

My review of the Supernatural episode “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“Post-fireworks, Dean drives off in the Impala, through the night, along a two-lane blacktop road. Overhead, is a full moon, and a sky full of stars. Which, as you know, is impossible, even if it is very pretty. But since this is heaven, since this is Dean’s heaven, the full moon is big enough and close enough to touch, all silver and blazing with moon dust. And around it, the stars sparkle white against the black and dark purple, like diamonds against velvet. This for Dean is a perfect night, this for Dean is perfection, and such a simple perfection it is, something that money and power cannot buy, and so right for Dean’s character, that he would choose this. Oh Dean, be it ever thus.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

My review of the Supernatural episode “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

Sam and Dean arrive at a cemetery to dig up Clay’s grave. Or at least, they dig up a coffin, which turns out to be empty, and a very fine sight it was. The digging, I mean, not the coffin. I love watching the boys at work together, doing physical labor like this and I think that’s for two reasons. One, they’re beautiful when they’re all sweating and grunting and manly and stuff. And two, because the digging up of a grave in the middle of the night harkens back to a more innocent time, when saving people, hunting things was all there was to it, and we didn’t have any of this, “and oh, yes, we’re hiding out from Lucifer, and trying to say no to the AA. Michael, and waiting to get shafted by the holy host, etc.”

Supernatural Episode Review: My Bloody Valentine

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: My Bloody Valentine

My review of the Supernatural episode “My Bloody Valentine” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

The Soap Angel explains that it’s Cupid at work, and there’s something gone haywire with the results because a hungry love turns into a devouring love, literally. One of my first thoughts was, naughtily, that since Sam and Dean have this weird, brotherly, love-hate thing going on, and they tend to be a little obsessed with each other 24/7, would they then succumb to that and become each other’s valentines? Would the eating then start? I kept waiting for it, some indication, a movement of the mouth (Dean’s) or a look from beneath dark brows (Sam’s) that would take the story into a deliciously dangerous direction. Alas, no, though I feel fairly certain that I’m not the only one who thought this.”

Supernatural Episode Review: The Song Remains the Same

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: The Song Remains the Same

My review of the Supernatural episode “The Song Remains the Same” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

So then Sam gets to say what’s in his heart and in his soul about how much he loves John, even in spite of him being a not so very good dad sometimes. I love Sam’s speech about John to John to pieces and then some, so I’m including it here in its entirety: “He was trying. He died trying. I used to be mad at him, I used to hate the guy. But now I get it, he was just doing the best he could. See, my mom she was amazing…she was the love of his life. When she got killed, and I think he would have gone crazy if he didn’t do something. Truth is my dad died before I got to tell him that I understand why he did what he did and I forgive him for what it did to us, I do. I just…I love him.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Swap Meat

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: Swap Meat

My review of the Supernatural episode Swap Meat is up at pinkragun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

“Then we are treated to a whole slew of scenes where Sam is in Gary’s body, and Gary is in Sam’s body, and then the fun starts. Every respectable TV show should have a body-swap ep, and this is Show’s. Although, to be frank, it would have been more fun had Dean and Sam swapped bodies with each other. With Ackles and Padalecki’s high level of comedic talent, and their familiarity with each other’s motions and gestures and speech patterns, it would have been a hoot and a half! So that’s one for the suggestion box, I think, and what with the rumors flying about a sixth season, maybe Show will take another stab at the body-swap idea and give us all a treat.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Sam Interrupted

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: Sam Interrupted

My review of the Supernatural episode “Sam, Interrupted” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

 An excerpt:

“Later, Dean comes to visit Sam in his room. (His private room, right? Yeah, uh-huh, sure.) Anyway, it’s a pretty cool scene because it gets all up close and personal. Dean’s tightly wound as a clock. Sam’s sprawled in the bed, all splayed thighs and messy Samhair. But more, because Sam pumped with stuff is like Sam drunk, and a drunk Sam is a more honest Sam. This is a particularly nice flavor, because when Sam is honest, he calls it like he sees it.”

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.”

Supernatural Episode Review: The Real Ghostbusters

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, SPN, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: The Real Ghostbusters

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.”
